ARTICLE III
DRAW DOWN TERMS

 

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

 

Section 3.1.           Draw Down Notice.  From time to time during the Investment Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, provide to the Investor a Draw Down Notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Draw Down Notice”). A Draw Down Notice shall be deemed delivered on (i) the Trading Day it is received by email (to the address set forth in Section 10.4 herein) by the Investor if such notice is received prior to 5:00 pm Eastern Time, or (ii) the immediately succeeding Trading Day if it is received by email after 5:00 pm Eastern Time on a Trading Day or at any time on a day which is not a Trading Day (the “Draw Down Exercise Date”). No Draw Down Notice may be deemed delivered on a day that is not a Trading Day. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor shall be entitled to treat any email it receives from officers whose email addresses are identified by the Company purporting to be a Draw Down Notice as a duly executed and authorized Draw Down Notice from the Company.  The Draw Down Notice shall specify the Draw Down Amount Requested (which shall not exceed the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor is obligated to accept each Draw Down Notice prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall purchase from the Company the Shares subject to such Draw Down Notice at the applicable Discount Price on the applicable Settlement Date. In addition, the Common Stock must be DWAC eligible and sent to the Investor in electronic form, instead of certificate form. In the event that the Investor sends written acceptance of accepting a physical certificate, all fees and expenses for this certificate will be paid by the Company. 

 

Section 3.2.           Intentionally Left Blank.

 

Section 3.3.           Reduction of Commitment.  On each Settlement Date, the Investor’s Total Commitment under this Agreement automatically shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the total dollar amount of shares of Common Stock issued by the Company on such Settlement Date or in connection therewith.

 

 

Section 3.4.           Maximum Draw Down Amount.  The maximum number of Shares that the Investor shall be required to purchase for any Draw Down shall in no event exceed (i) 300% of the average daily share volume of the Common Stock in the five trading days immediately preceding the Draw Down Notice, (ii) such number of shares as shall cause the aggregate holdings of the Investor’s shares of common stock of the Company to exceed the Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 3.7 below, or (iii) the aggregate offering price or number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under a Registration Statement (the “Registration Limitation”) (the “Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested”).

 

Section 3.5.          Intentionally Left Blank.

 

Section 3.6.         Settlement. Within five (5) Trading Days of Delivery of a Draw Down Notice, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares purchased by the Investor by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account (provided the Investor shall have given the Company written notice of such designee prior to the Settlement Date) at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system, which Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale pursuant to the Registration Statement (the “Settlement Date”). Once such Shares have been accepted by the Investor, the Investor shall immediately deliver to the Company the amount of the Draw Down by wire transfer of immediately available funds. On or prior to the Settlement Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to Section 7.2 below in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.

 

Section 3.6.         Intentionally Left Blank.

 

Section 3.7.           Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event may the Company issue a Draw Down Notice to the extent that (i) the Draw Down Amount Requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested, (ii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to issue or sell or the Investor to acquire or purchase a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to all Draw Down Amounts paid by the Investor pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under this Agreement, would exceed the Aggregate Limit, or (iii) the sale of Shares pursuant to such Draw Down Notice would cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its Affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor or any of its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”) (as of the date of this Agreement, Investor and its affiliates held zero (0%) percent of the outstanding Common Stock). If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice in which the Draw Down Amount Requested exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent the Draw Down Amount Requested exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount Requested. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would require the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases of Common Stock by the Investor under this Agreement to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the dollar value of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with all Draw Down Amounts paid by the Investor pursuant to all prior Draw Down Notices issued under this Agreement, would exceed the Aggregate Limit. If the Company issues a Draw Down Notice that otherwise would require the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its Affiliates to exceed the Ownership Limitation, such Draw Down Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Draw Down Notice, together with all shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates, would exceed the Ownership Limitation. 

 

 

Section 3.8.       Intentionally Left Blank.

 

Section 3.9.       Intentionally Left Blank.

 

Section 3.10.    Overall Limit on Issuable Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if during the Commitment Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange that limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued without shareholder approval, then the total number of Shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed that number of shares of Common Stock that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”).  If such issuance of Shares could cause a delisting on the Trading Market, then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with applicable law and the By-laws and Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The parties understand and agree that the Company's failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to the Investor or the Investor's obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section 3.10.

 

Section 3.11. Valuation Event. The Company agrees that it shall not take any action that would result in a Valuation Event occurring during a Pricing Period. Valuation Event shall mean an event in which the Company at any time during a Pricing Period takes any of the following actions: (i) subdivides or combines its Common Stock or (ii) pays a dividend on its shares of Common Stock or makes any other purchase of its shares of Common Stock.

In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Shares hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title), each Person, if any, who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the respective directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives, agents and advisors (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Investor Party”), from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses (including all judgments, amounts paid in settlement, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation) (collectively, “Damages”) that any Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or (b) any action, suit, claim or proceeding (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) instituted against such Investor Party arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents, other than claims for indemnification within the scope of Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that (x) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Damages to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from a breach of any of the Investor’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and (y) the Company shall not be liable under subsection (b) of this Section 9.1 to the extent, but only to the extent, that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment (from which no further appeals are available) that such Damages resulted directly and primarily from any acts or failures to act, undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Investor Party through its fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, or willful or reckless misconduct.

 

The Company shall reimburse any Investor Party promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Party in connection with (i) any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, to enforce compliance by the Company with any provision of the Transaction Documents or (ii) any other any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether at law or in equity, with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.1; provided  that the Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for all such legal and other costs and expenses to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Investor Party was not entitled to such reimbursement.

 

An Investor Party’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in the Transaction Documents shall not in any way be affected by any investigation or knowledge of such Investor Party. Such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that an Investor Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Company failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by such Investor Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.

 

To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Company set forth in this Section 9.1 may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Damages which is permissible under applicable law.  

 

  

Section 9.2.           Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after an Investor Party receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the Investor Party intends to seek indemnification under Section 9.1, the Investor Party will notify the Company in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from liability under Section 9.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice.  The Company will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the Company acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the Investor Party against whom the claim or action is brought, the Company may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it.  After the Company notifies the Investor Party that the Company wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the Company will not be liable for any further legal or other expenses incurred by the Investor Party in connection with the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the Investor Party, it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such Investor Party.  In such event, the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel for all such Investor Parties promptly as such fees and expenses are incurred. Each Investor Party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 9.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought.  The Company will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, denied, or conditioned. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Investor Party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an Investor Party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the Investor Party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.

 

The remedies provided for in this Article IX are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Investor Party at law or in equity.

Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought.

Section 10.6.       Headings.  The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.”  The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

 

Section 10.7.       Construction. The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents.

Section 10.9.       No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly provided in Article IX, this Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

 

Section 10.10.   Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions of such state that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  

 

  

Section 10.11.   Survival.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof until the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of Article V (Representations and Warranties of the Company), Article VIII (Termination), Article IX (Indemnification) and this Article X (Miscellaneous) (excluding Section 10.1(v)) shall remain in full force and effect indefinitely notwithstanding such termination, and, (ii) so long as the Investor owns any Securities, the covenants and agreements of the Company contained in Article VI (Additional Covenants), shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of six months following such termination.

 

Section 10.12.   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same original and binding instrument and shall become effective when all counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. In the event any signature is delivered by facsimile, digital or electronic transmission, such transmission shall constitute delivery of the manually executed original and the party using such means of delivery shall thereafter cause four additional executed signature pages to be physically delivered to the other parties within five days of the execution and delivery hereof.  Failure to provide or delay in the delivery of such additional executed signature pages shall not adversely affect the efficacy of the original delivery.

 

Section 10.13.   Publicity.  The Investor shall have the right to approve, prior to issuance or filing, any press release, Commission filing or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Investor, to make any press release or other public disclosure (including any filings with the Commission) with respect thereto as is required by applicable law and regulations (including the regulations of the Trading Market), so long as prior to making any such press release or other public disclosure, if reasonably practicable, the Company and its counsel shall have provided the Investor and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, and shall have consulted with the Investor and its counsel on the form and substance of, such press release or other disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to submit for review any such disclosure (i) contained in periodic reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act if it shall have previously provided the same disclosure for review in connection with a previous filing or (ii) any Prospectus Supplement if it contains disclosure that does not reference the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Section 10.14.   Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.  

 

  

Section 10.15.   Further Assurances.  From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of the Investor or the Company, each of the Company and the Investor shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
