will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the
exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities (including,
without limitation, under any anti-dilution or similar
provisions).
11
(h) SEC Reports; Financial
Statements. The Company has filed all reports, schedules,
forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) thereof, for the twelve months preceding the date hereof (or such shorter
period as the Company was required by law to file such reports) (the foregoing
materials and all exhibits included therein and financial statements, notes and
schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being
collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports” and, together
with the Disclosure Letter, the “Disclosure Materials”) on a
timely basis or has timely filed a valid extension of such time of filing and
has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such
extension. The Company has made available to the Investor or its
representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Reports not
available on the EDGAR system (if any). As of their respective dates,
the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed,
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the
SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect
thereto as in effect at the time of filing (or amendment, as
applicable). Such financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, during the periods
involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or
the notes thereto, and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the
dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial,
year-end audit adjustments or which will not be material, either individually or
in the aggregate.
(i) Tax Status. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign,
federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations
required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all
taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in
amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations,
except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books
provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply,
except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be
due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company
know of no basis for any such claim.
12
(j) Material Changes;
Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the date of the
latest audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the Year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 10-K”) and unaudited
financial statements included in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q (“2010 10-Q”),
except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the
date hereof or in Section 3.1(j) of the
Disclosure Letter, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development
that has had or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or
otherwise) other than (A) trade payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities
incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and
(B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial
statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings made with the
Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting or the
identity of its auditors, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend
or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased,
redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital
stock, (v) the Company has not sold any assets outside of the ordinary course of
business, (vi) the Company has not made any material capital expenditures and
(vi) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director
or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans. The
Company does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential
treatment of information. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy
law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its
creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual
knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do
so. No event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or
development has occurred or exists, or is reasonably expected to occur or exist,
with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business,
properties, operations, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) which has
had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect that
has not been publicly disclosed at least one Trading Day prior to the date that
this representation is made.
(k) Litigation. There
is no Action which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents against the Company or the
Securities or (ii) except as specifically disclosed in the 2009 10-K and 2010
10-Q, would, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer
thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any
Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state
securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, except as specifically
disclosed in the 2009 10-K and 2010 10-Q. There has not been, and to the
knowledge of the Company, there is not pending any investigation by the
Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of
the Company (in his or her capacity as such). The Commission has not
issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any
registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange
Act or the Securities Act. Except as specified in Section 3.1(k) of the
Disclosure Letter, (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is or,
within the last three years, has been the subject of an investigation by any
federal, state or local governmental agency and (ii) there are no claims,
actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or involving the
Company or its Subsidiaries, or any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries,
that are reasonably likely to result in a claim for damages in excess of
$150,000.
13
(l) Labor
Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the
knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of
the Company. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union.
The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their
employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f)
of the Securities Act) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified
the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the
Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment
with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or
proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment
of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been in
compliance with all U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations relating
to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and
wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(m) Employee
Benefits. Section 3.1(m) of the
Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete
list of all employee benefit plans,
pension plans, stock option, bonus or incentive plans, severance pay plans or
agreements, deferred compensation agreements, or any similar plan, agreement or
arrangement that are sponsored or maintained by the Company or any member of a
Controlled Group or with respect to which the Company or any member of the
Controlled Group has made or is required to make payments, transfers or
contributions (an “Employee
Benefit Plan”). No other corporation, trade, or business
exists which would be treated together with the Company as a single “employer”
under the provisions of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each
Employee Benefit Plan has been and is currently administered in compliance with
its constituent documents and all reporting, disclosure and other requirements
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the Code and any
other law applicable to such Employee Benefit Plan. There are no unfunded
obligations of the Company under any retirement, pension, profit-sharing,
deferred compensation plan or similar program, and any employee contributions
withheld from payroll have been timely and fully contributed to the appropriate
Employee Benefit Plan as required under ERISA, the Code and applicable
law. The Company is not required to make any payments or
contributions to any Employee Benefit Plan pursuant to any collective bargaining
agreement or any applicable labor relations law. The Company has
never maintained or contributed to any Employee Benefit Plan providing or
promising any health or other nonpension benefits to terminated employees (other
than continuation coverage, at the maximum applicable premium permitted to be
charged by the Company, required under Section 4980B of the Code, or
Section 601 of the ERISA). For purposes of this Section 3.1(m),
the term “Controlled
Group” used herein means, collectively, any trade or business (whether or
not incorporated) (i) under common control within the meaning of
Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA with the Company or (ii) that, together
with the Company, is treated as a single employer under Section 414(t) of
the Code.
14
(n) Compliance. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and
no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in
default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its properties is bound (except to the extent such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or
order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in
violation of any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local
laws relating to taxes, pollution, environmental protection, occupational health
and safety, product quality and safety or employment and labor matters, except
in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Environmental
Compliance. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) has at
all times had and now has all environmental approvals, consents,
licenses, permits and orders required to conduct the businesses in which it has
been or is now engaged and (ii) has at all times been and is now in compliance
in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws.
There are no claims, actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against
or involving the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any assets of the Company or
its Subsidiaries, under any of the environmental laws (whether by reason of any
failure to comply with any of the environmental laws or
otherwise). No decree, judgment or order of any kind under any of the
environmental laws has been entered against the Company or its Subsidiaries.
There are no facts, conditions or situations, whether now or heretofore
existing, that could form the basis for any claim against, or result in any
liability of, the Company or its Subsidiaries under any of the environmental
laws.
(p) Regulatory Permits.
The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations,
licenses and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign
regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess any such
certificates, authorizations, licenses or permits would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate,
authorization, license or permit.
(q) Title to
Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is
material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all
personal property owned or used by them that is material to their respective
businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens disclosed
in the 2009 10-K or 2010 10-Q or as do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and, to the Company’s
knowledge, enforceable leases of which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in
compliance, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
15
(r) Patents and
Trademarks.
(i) Section 3.1(r) of the
Disclosure Letter accurately sets forth all material Intellectual
Property that is owned and/or used in the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, viewed as a whole, as presently conducted (“Company’s IP”). No
Intellectual Property other than the Company’s IP is material to the business of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as presently conducted or as presently
proposed to be conducted. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries is the sole and
exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to Company’s IP (with no
breaks in the chain of title thereof) free and clear of, to its knowledge, any
claim, security interest, lien, pledge, option, charge or encumbrance of any
kind whatsoever except as disclosed in the 2009 10-K or 2010
10-Q. Company’s IP has not been used or enforced or failed to be used
or enforced in a manner that would result in the abandonment, cancellation or
unenforceability of any of Company’s material rights in and to Company’s
IP.
(ii) The
Company has not transferred any rights or interest in, or granted any exclusive
license with respect to, any of the Company’s IP to any third
party.
(iii) All
of the Company’s IP is currently in compliance in all material respects with all
legal requirements (including timely filings, proofs and payments of fees) and
is, to the Company’s knowledge, valid and enforceable. None of the
Company’s IP which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its
Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently
proposed to be conducted has been or is now involved in any pending or
threatened cancellation, dispute or litigation of which the Company is
aware. No patent of the Company or its Subsidiaries has been or is
now involved in any interference, reissue, re-examination or opposition
proceeding.
(iv) All
of the licenses and sublicenses and consent, royalty or other agreements
concerning Company’s IP which are necessary for the conduct of the Company’s and
each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a
party or by which any of their assets are bound (other than generally
commercially available, non-custom, off-the-shelf software application programs
having a retail acquisition price of less than $25,000 per license)
(collectively, “License
Agreements”) are valid and binding obligations of the Company or its
Subsidiaries that are parties thereto and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other
parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the
extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and there exists no
event or condition which, to the Company’s knowledge, will result in a material
violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any such
License Agreement.
16
(v) The
Company and its Subsidiaries own or have the valid right to use all of the
Intellectual Property that is necessary for the operation of the Company’s and
each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have a valid and enforceable right to use all third party Intellectual Property
and Confidential Information used or held for use as the Company’s
IP.
(vi) To
the best knowledge of the Company, the conduct of the Company’s and its
Subsidiaries’ businesses as currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise
impair or conflict with (collectively, “Infringe”) any Intellectual
Property rights of any third party or any confidentiality obligation owed to a
third party, and, to the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s IP which are
necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective
businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted are
not being Infringed by any third party. There is no litigation or
order pending or outstanding or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened or
imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that concerns the ownership, use,
validity or enforceability of any of the Company’s IP or, to the Company’s
knowledge, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ use of any Intellectual Property
or Confidential Information owned by a third party, and, to the Company’s
knowledge, there is no valid basis for the same.
(vii) The
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other
Transaction Documents will not result in the alteration, loss, impairment of or
restriction on the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ownership or right to
use any of the Company’s IP which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and
each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted.
(s) Insurance. The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its and the Subsidiaries’ existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may
be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent in all material
respects with market for similar size companies as the Company and its
Subsidiaries for the lines of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries at a
cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought
or applied for.
(t) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. None of the officers or directors of the Company and, to
the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is presently
a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for
ordinary course services as employees, officers and directors), including any
contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of
services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from,
or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such
employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer,
director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer,
director, trustee or partner, which in each case is required to be disclosed in
the SEC Reports and has not been so disclosed.
17
(u) Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting
Controls. The Company is in compliance with all provisions of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, which are applicable to it as of the
Closing Date. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries maintain a
system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability
accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted
only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv)
the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the
existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and
procedures so that they are effective in ensuring that information required to
be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, including, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information
relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the
certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the
period in which the Company’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being
prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of
the Company’s controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the
Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date,
the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed
periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there
have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
(as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has significantly affected,
or is reasonably likely to significantly affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Since the Evaluation Date, neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or correspondence from any
accountant relating to any potential material weakness in any part of the system
of internal accounting controls of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Additionally, the
Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of
the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that
could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the
foreseeable future.
18
(v) Solvency. Based
on the financial condition of the Company as of the date hereof and as of the
Closing Date (assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (i) the Company’s
present fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be
required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other
liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the
Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its
business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital
requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital
requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow
of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to
liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of
the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its
liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The foregoing
representation and warranty is also true and correct as to the Company and the
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary intends to incur debts beyond its or their ability to pay such debts
as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable
on or in respect of its or their debt). The Company has no knowledge
of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for
reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any
jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.
(w) Certain
Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will
be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant,
finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investor shall
have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims (other
than such fees or commissions owed by the Investor pursuant to written
agreements executed by the Investor which fees or commissions shall be the sole
responsibility of the Investor) made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees
of a type contemplated in this Section 3.1(w) that may be due in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(x) Certain Registration
Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the Securities
Act is required for the offer and sale of the Units by the Company to the
Investor under the Transaction Documents. Except as specified
in the Registration Rights Agreement and in Section 3.1(x) of the
Disclosure Letter, no Person has any rights (including “piggy-back”
registration rights) to cause the Company to effect the registration under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws of any securities of the Company
that have not been satisfied.
(y) Listing and Maintenance
Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action
designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of,
terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has
the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. The Company has not, in the two years
preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect
that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements thereof. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will
not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and
maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the
Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or
quoted. The issuance and sale of the Securities under the Transaction
Documents does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on
which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the
stockholders of the Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and
deliver to the Investor the Securities contemplated by Transaction
Documents.
19
(z) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and
immediately following the Closing will not have become, an “investment company,”
an Affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment
company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter”
for, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
(aa) Application of Takeover
Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken
all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or would become applicable to the Investor as a
direct result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including
without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities to the
Investor. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or
similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common
Stock or a change in control of the Company.
(bb) No Additional
Agreements. The Company does not directly or indirectly have
any agreement or understanding with the Investor with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than as specified
in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Materials.
(cc) Disclosure. The
Company confirms that neither it nor, to its knowledge, any Person acting on its
behalf has provided the Investor or its agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material, non-public information, except
insofar as the existence and terms of the proposed transactions hereunder and
the information contained herein or in the other Transaction Documents may
constitute such information. The Company understands and confirms that the
Investor will rely on the foregoing representations and warranties in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that the Investor does not make nor has made any representations or warranties
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those
specifically set forth in Sections 3.2 and 4.14.
(dd) Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(dd) of the
Disclosure Letter, there is no transaction, arrangement or other
relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and an
unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be
disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act filings and is not so
disclosed.
(ee) U.S. Real Property Holding
Corporation. The Company is not, and has never been, a U.S. real property
holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code and the
Company shall so certify upon the request of the Investor.
(ff) Foreign Corrupt
Practices. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor
any director, officer, agent, employee or other Person acting on behalf of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on
behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) used any corporate funds
for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful
payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from
corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made any unlawful
bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to
any foreign or domestic government official or employee, except in each case as
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
20
(gg) No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on
behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Units by any form of
general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered
the Units for sale only to the Investor and certain other “accredited investors”
within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(hh) Accountants. The
Company’s accounting firm is set forth in the SEC Reports. To the
knowledge and belief of the Company, such accounting firm: (i) is a registered
public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express
its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the
Company’s Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2010.
(ii) Regulation M
Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting
on its behalf has (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to
cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any
security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the
Securities or (ii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for
soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.
3.2 Representations and
Warranties of the Investor. The
Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization;
Authority. The Investor is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or, if the Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited
liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of the
Investor. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement has been duly executed by the Investor, and when delivered by the
Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and
legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by
state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, and
except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(b) Investment
Intent. The Investor understands that the Securities are
“restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or
any applicable state securities laws and is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view
to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof, without
prejudice, however, to the Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding
sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty
by the Investor to hold the Securities for any period of time. The
Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business. The Investor does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or
indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the
Securities.
21
(c) Investor
Status. At the time the Investor was offered the Securities,
it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises
any Warrants, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule
501(a) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as
defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. The Investor has
completed and executed the Investor Questionnaire (attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit D and
incorporated herein as representations and warranties of the Investor under this
Section 3.2) and that the information contained in such document is complete and
accurate. The Investor is not a registered broker-dealer under
Section 15 of the Exchange Act. The Investor, either alone or
together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so
evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Investor is able to bear
the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time,
is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(d) General Solicitation.
The Investor is not acquiring the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or
presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general
advertisement.
(e) Access to
Information. The Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the
Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such
questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from,
representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries
and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business,
properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its
investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that
the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that
is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the
investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation
conducted by or on behalf of the Investor or its representatives or counsel
shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the truth,
accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in the Transaction
Documents.
(f) Certain Trading Activities
and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions
contemplated hereunder, the Investor has not engaged, nor has the Investor
directed any Person to act on its behalf to engage, in any transactions in the
securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any Short Sales
involving the Company’s securities or “locking-up” borrowing with respect to any
of the Company’s securities) since the earlier to occur of (1) the time that the
Investor was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding an
investment in the Company and (2) the 30th day
prior to the date of this Agreement. Other than to other Persons
party to this Agreement (and their respective representatives and advisors), the
Investor has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in
connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
transaction).
22
(g) Independent Investment
Decision. The Investor has independently evaluated the merits of its
decision to acquire Securities pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor
confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other investor’s business
and/or legal counsel in making such decision.
(h) Reliance. The
Investor understands and acknowledges that: (i) the Securities are being offered
and issued to it without registration under the Securities Act in a private
placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act
and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and the Company
will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations
and the Investor hereby consents to such reliance.
(i)
Residency. The
Investor is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below the
Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has not made or makes any
representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2 and Section
4.13.
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Reasonable Best
Efforts. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to
timely satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in
Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of this Agreement.
4.2 Legends.
(a) Sales of Securities.
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of any Securities
other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to
an Affiliate of the Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in
Section 4.2(d), the Company may, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2(e)
below, require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the
Securities Act.
(b) Register. The Company
shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of
Securities), a register for the Securities in which the Company shall record the
name and address of the Person in whose name the Securities have been issued
(including the name and address of each transferee) and the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company
shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours
for inspection of the Investor or its legal representatives.
23
(c) Transfer Agent
Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its
transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or
credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) (if DTC is then
offered by the Company and its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for
deposit with DTC in accordance with its rules), registered in the name of the
Investor or its respective nominee(s), for the Securities in such amounts as
specified from time to time by the Investor to the Company upon conversion of
the Company Shares or exercise of the Warrants. The Company represents and
warrants that no instruction other than the irrevocable instructions to its
transfer agent referred to in this Section 4.2(c) will be given by the Company
to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities and that the Securities
shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company,
as applicable, and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, except as it may reasonably determine are necessary to
comply or to ensure compliance with those applicable laws that are enacted or
modified after the Closing. If the Investor effects a sale, assignment or
transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Transaction
Documents, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its
transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the
applicable balance accounts at DTC (if DTC is then offered by the Company and
its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for deposit with DTC in
accordance with its rules) in such name and in such denominations as specified
by the Investor to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that
such sale, assignment or transfer involves Securities sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance
with Rule 144 (provided that in the case of a sale, transfer or assignment under
Rule 144 the foregoing is not an “affiliate” of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144)), the transfer agent shall issue such
Securities to the Investor, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without
any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 4.2(e) below. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Investor. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.2(c) will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of any provisions of this Section 4.2(c), that the Investor shall be
entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or
injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other
security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal
opinion referred to in the irrevocable transfer agent instructions required to
be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement to the
Company’s transfer agent on each Effective Date. Any fees (with respect to the
transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the
issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities
shall be borne by the Company.
24
(d) Certificates
evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time as
they are not required under Section 4.1(e):
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) (A)
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO
SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY OR (II) RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING
THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE
MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees
that the Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest
in some or all of the Securities in accordance with all applicable federal and
state securities laws pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection
with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such
agreement or account, the Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to
the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not
be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal
counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection
with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a
subsequent transfer by the pledgee or secured party following default by the
Investor or otherwise. No notice shall be required of such pledge. At
the Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request
in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
25
(e) Certificates
evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set
forth in Section 4.1(d)) at such time as the Investor has provided reasonable
evidence to the Company (including any customary broker’s or selling
stockholder’s letters but expressly excluding an opinion of counsel other than
with respect to clauses (iv) or (v) below), that: (i) there has been a sale of
such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the
Registration Statement(s)), (ii) there has been a sale of such Securities
pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the
Company), (iii) such Securities are then eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(i),
(iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under
Rule 144) provided that, upon request of the Company, the Investor provides the
Company with an opinion of counsel to the Investor, in a reasonably acceptable
form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may
be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities
Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the
Securities Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Commission). Following such
time as restrictive legends are not required to be placed on certificates
representing Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company will, no
later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by the Investor to the
Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Securities
containing a restrictive legend and the foregoing evidence (and opinion if
applicable), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor a certificate
representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends
or credit the balance account of the Investor’s or the Investor’s nominee with
DTC (if DTC is then offered by the Company and its transfer agent and such
Securities qualify for deposit with DTC in accordance with its rules) with a
number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock equal to the number of
shares represented by the certificate so delivered by the Investor (the date by
which such certificate is required to be delivered to the Investor or such
shares were required to be credited to the Investor’s account with DTC (as the
case may be) pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”). The
Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any
transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section, except as it may reasonably determine are necessary or
appropriate to comply or to ensure compliance with those applicable laws that
are enacted or modified after the Closing.
4.3 Form D and Blue
Sky. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the
Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the
Investor who requests one promptly after such filing. The Company
shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to,
qualify the Securities for sale to the Investor at the Closing pursuant to this
Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the
United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall
provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investor on or prior to the
Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or
“Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing
Date.
4.4 Furnishing of
Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i)
the Investor does not own Securities, (ii) the Warrants have expired
or (iii) the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the
Warrants) where the Company is no longer publicly traded following such
Fundamental Transaction (the “Reporting Period”) has
occurred, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock
under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all
reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to
the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination. Without
limiting any of the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, during the Reporting Period, if the Company is not required to file
reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investor and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for the Investor to sell the Securities under Rule 144. Without
limiting any of the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action
as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from
time to time to enable such Person to sell the Securities without registration
under the Securities Act, including without limitation, within the requirements
of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
26
4.5 Integration. The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the
issuance of the Securities to the Investor, or that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any
Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the
issuance of the securities to the Investor.
4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. On the Trading Day following the execution of this Agreement,
the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms
of the Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto the Transaction
Documents), and on the Trading Day following the Closing Date the Company will
file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose the Closing (unless
the Closing Date occurs on the same date as the execution of this Agreement, in
which case only one Form 8-K will be required).
4.7 Indemnification of
the
Investor. In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold the Investor and its
directors, officers, stockholders, partners, employees, members and direct
or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other
representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and
all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs,
expenses, actions, causes of action, suits, penalties and fees, including all
judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable out-of-pocket
attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such
Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of, arising out of or relating to
(a) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty,
covenant, obligation or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction
Document or (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against any
Investor Party by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative
action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from
(i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction
Documents, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or
(iii) the status of such Investor Party or holder of the Securities as an
investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents; provided, that an Investor Party shall not be entitled to
indemnification to the extent any of the foregoing is caused by such Investor
Party’s gross negligence, material violation of law or regulation or willful
misconduct. In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will
reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket legal and
other expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of any
investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) as incurred in
connection therewith, as promptly as practicable after such expenses are
incurred and invoiced.
27
4.8 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to material terms and conditions of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
covenants and agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries, or other
Person acting on its or their behalf will provide the Investor or its agents or
counsel with any material, non-public information regarding the Company or its
Subsidiaries without the prior express consent of the Investor; provided, that
no such consent shall be required prior to disclosing any such material,
non-public information to (a) a director designated by the Investor (but only
when made to such director in his or her capacity as a director) or (b) the
Investor when such disclosure is required by the express terms of this Agreement
or the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company understands that the Investor
shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.
4.9 Listing of
Securities. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the
Registrable Securities upon each national securities exchange and automated
quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to
official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all Registrable
Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction
Documents on such exchange or automated quotation system or another Trading
Market. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the Common
Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. The Company agrees,
(i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading
Market, it will include in such application the Company Shares, the Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary
or desirable to cause the Company Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and
(ii) it will use reasonable best efforts to take all action that it believes is
reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on
a Trading Market and to comply in all material respects with the Company’s
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the
applicable Trading Market. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall
take any action which it believes could be reasonably expected to result in the
delisting or suspension of the Common Stock (and if required to be listed by
this Section 4.9, the Preferred Stock) on any Trading Market. The Company shall
pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under
this Section 4.9.
4.10 Additional Issuances of
Securities.
(a) The
Company agrees that for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending
ninety (90) days after the Closing, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly issue, offer, sell, grant any option
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale,
grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of their respective
equity or equity equivalent securities, including, without limitation, any debt,
preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any
time and under any circumstances convertible into or exchangeable for, or
otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, capital stock and other
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, Common Stock
Equivalents) (collectively with such capital stock or other securities of the
Company, “Equivalents”)
(any such issuance, offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being
referred to as a “Subsequent
Placement”).
28
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.10 shall not apply in respect of the issuance of
(A) Company stock or options to purchase Company stock issued to directors,
officers, employees or consultants of the Company in connection with their
service as directors or officers of the Company, their employment by the Company
or their retention as consultants by the Company pursuant to an equity
compensation program or other contract or arrangement approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company (or the compensation committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company), provided that all such issuances after the date
hereof pursuant to this clause (A) do not, in the aggregate, exceed more than
10% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the date
hereof, (B) Common Stock or standard warrants (including so-called penny
warrants) to purchase Common Stock in connection with strategic alliances,
acquisitions, mergers, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, vendor and
supplier arrangements and as equity kickers in lease and financing transactions,
the primary purpose of which is not to raise capital, and which are approved in
good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, provided that all such issuances
after the date hereof pursuant to this clause (B) do not, in the aggregate,
exceed more than 10% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the date hereof, (C) shares issued upon the conversion or exercise of
Equivalents issued prior to the date hereof, provided that such Equivalents have
not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of
shares issuable thereunder or to lower the exercise or conversion price thereof
or otherwise materially change the terms or conditions thereof in any manner
that adversely affects the Investor, (D) shares issued or issuable by reason of
a dividend, stock split or other distribution on Common Stock, (E) the
Conversion Shares, or (F) the Warrant Shares (each of the foregoing in clauses
(A) through (F), collectively the “Excluded
Securities”).
4.11 Conduct of Business.
The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in
violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except
where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.12 Variable Rate
Transaction. From the date hereof until 12 months after the Closing, the
Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to
effect any Subsequent Placement involving a “Variable Rate Transaction.” The
term “Variable Rate
Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or
sells any Equivalents either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or
other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or
quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance
of such Equivalents, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that
is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such
Equivalents or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or
indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common
Stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” or “full ratchet”
anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, but not
limited to, an equity line of credit) whereby the Company may sell securities at
a future determined price (other than customary “pre-emptive” or “participation”
rights). The Investor shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the
Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any
right to collect damages.
29
4.13 Trading Restrictions.
The Investor represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that it
will not (and its Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any
understanding with it will not) engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, any
transactions in any securities of the Company (including, without limitation,
any Short Sales, “locking-up” borrow or hedging activities involving the
Company’s securities) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending
on the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Closing Date. In
furtherance (and without limitation) of the foregoing, during such restricted
period, neither the Investor nor any of such Affiliates, (a) will directly or
indirectly, sell, agree to sell, grant any call option or purchase any put
option with respect to, pledge, borrow or otherwise dispose of any securities of
the Company, or (b) will establish or increase any “put equivalent position” or
liquidate or decrease any “call equivalent position” with respect to any such
securities (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), or otherwise enter into
any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of any such
securities, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by delivery of any
such securities, other securities, cash or other consideration. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that nothing contained in this
Section 4.13 shall prohibit the Investor (or such Affiliates) from (1)
purchasing or agreeing to purchase unrestricted securities of the Company or
securities which are covered by an effective registration statement and the
prospectus included therein is available for use on the date of such purchase
(including through block trades or privately negotiated transactions), (2)
purchasing or agreeing to purchase securities of the Company pursuant to Section
4.14 or otherwise from the Company, (3) exercising any or all Warrants to
acquire Warrant Shares or otherwise acting under or enforcing, or receiving any
right or benefit or adjustment under, the Warrants, (4) selling or agreeing to
sell “long” securities of the Company (because the Investor or such Affiliate is
“deemed to own such securities” pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 200 under
Regulation SHO), including, without limitation, (I) any Company Shares,
Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares acquired hereunder or pursuant to
the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the Transaction Documents, (II)
any shares of Common Stock or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock held
on the date hereof, (III) any shares of Common Stock acquired after the date
hereof pursuant to the exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock held on the
date hereof, or (IV) securities acquired after the date hereof in accordance
with this paragraph, (5) pledging or hypothecating any securities of the Company
in connection with leverage arrangements engaged in by the Investor (or such
Affiliates) without the purpose of transferring economic risk relating to such
securities or (6) from transferring any of the Securities to any Affiliate who
agrees in writing to be bound by this Section 4.13, in each case, provided such
sale is in compliance with all applicable securities laws and following the
public announcement of the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to Section
4.6.
4.14 Participation Right.
From the date hereof until September 30, 2012, the Company shall not effect any
Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this
Section 4.14. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in
this Section 4.14 is a right granted by the Company to the Investor, for so long
as it or any of its affiliates in the aggregate holds at least one percent of
the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined in the Warrants) (the “Designated
Investor”).
30
(a) The
Company shall deliver to the Designated Investor a written notice
(the ”Offer
Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange
(the ”Offer”) of
the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a
Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the
Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they
are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered
Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the Persons (if
known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued,
sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with the
Designated Investor in accordance with the terms of the Offer the Designated
Investor’s pro rata portion of the Offered Securities, calculated by dividing
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined in the
Warrants) owned by the Designated Investor as of immediately prior to the Offer,
by (ii) the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding (as defined in the Warrants) (such
pro rata portion, the “Basic
Amount”).
(b) To
accept an Offer, in whole or in part, the Designated Investor must deliver an
irrevocable written notice to the Company prior to the end of the third (3rd)
Business Day after such Designated Investor’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the
“Offer Period”), setting
forth the portion of the Designated Investor’s Basic Amount that such Designated
Investor elects to purchase (the “Notice of
Acceptance”).
(c) The
Company shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer
Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered
Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the
Designated Investor (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant
to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement
Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if
so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without
limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not materially more
favorable (when viewed on an aggregate basis) to the acquiring Person or Persons
or materially less favorable (when viewed on an aggregate basis) to the Company

6.4 Amendments; Waivers; No
Additional Consideration. No provision of any Transaction Document may be
waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the
Investor (or, with respect to Section 4.14 hereof, in lieu thereof the consent
of the Designated Investor), provided that any party shall have the right to
provide a waiver with regards to itself. No waiver of any default
with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of any Transaction
Document shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of
any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise
any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. No
consideration shall be offered or paid to the Investor to amend or consent to a
waiver or modification of any provision of any Transaction Document unless the
same consideration is also offered to all investors who then hold the
Securities; provided that with respect to Section 4.14 hereof, such
consideration may be offered or paid solely to the Designated Investor and not
any other investors. No such amendment or waiver (unless given pursuant to the
foregoing provisos) shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less
than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding.
6.5 Construction. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the
language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement
shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents.
6.6 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company
may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Investor. The Investor may assign any or all
of its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to any
Person to whom the Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, (other
than any rights under Section 4.14 hereof, which are not assignable or
transferable except by the Designated Investor to any affiliate of the
Designated Investor) provided such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to
be bound, with respect to the assigned or transferred Securities, by the
provisions hereof that apply to the “Investor,” in which event such assignee or
transferee shall be deemed to be the Investor hereunder with respect to such
assigned rights.
35
6.7 No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.7 (as to each Investor
Party).
6.8 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be
commenced exclusively in the Delaware Courts. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such Delaware Court, or that such
Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient
forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service
of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good
and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to
trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party
shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document,
then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other
party for its reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and other reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such Proceeding.
6.9 Survival. The
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall
survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities. The Investor
shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements
and covenants hereunder.
6.10 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same
force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original
thereof.
6.11 Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
36
6.12 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without
limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever
the Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a
Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Investor may
rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written
notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in
part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
6.13 Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be
issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in
lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The
applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such
replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument
evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company
may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition
precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
6.14 Remedies. In addition
to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law,
including recovery of damages, each of the parties hereto will be entitled to
specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and
hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such
obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. The
Company therefore agrees that the Investor shall be entitled to specific
performance and temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or
any other type of security.
6.15 Payment Set
Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
the Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Investor
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
37
6.16
Delivery of
Securities. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, unless otherwise
directed in writing by the Investor,
the Company shall, and shall cause its agents and representatives to, deliver
all of the Investor’s Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement (and all
securities which are issuable to the Investor pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document) to the address for delivery of
Securities set forth on the Investor’s signature page to this Agreement, and
copies of the certificates representing such securities shall be sent to the
Investor to the address of the Investor as set forth on the Investor’s signature
page to this Agreement.
6.17 Further Assurances.
Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such
further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may
reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
