Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, as applicable. The Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and no Proceeding has been instituted seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power or authority or qualification.

(c)              Authorization; Enforcement. The Company and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder and, in the case of the Company, to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery by the Company and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, in the case of the Company, the issuance of the Notes and the reservation for issuance and issuance of the Note Shares, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and each such Domestic Subsidiary, and (other than the filing with the SEC of one or more Registration Statements in accordance with Section 4.7, any filings as may be required by state securities agencies, and any filings required pursuant to the Security Documents) no further consent, filing, authorization or action is required from or with any United States federal or state regulatory authority or governmental body or any Trading Market by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary. Each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will be) duly executed by the Company and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries and is, or when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of the Company and each such Domestic Subsidiary enforceable against the Company and each such Domestic Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application

14 

 

affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification provisions contained herein may be limited by applicable law.

(d)             No Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(d), the execution, delivery and performance by the Company and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the consummation by the Company and each of its Domestic Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and, in the case of the Company, the issuance and sale of the Notes and the reservation for issuance and issuance of the Note Shares do not, and will not, (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Domestic Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement (including any Material Contract), credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound, or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, to the extent that such conflict, default, termination, amendment, acceleration, cancellation right or violation would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the Trading Market and has no knowledge of any facts that would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The issuance by the Company of the Securities shall not have the effect of delisting or suspending the Common Stock from the Trading Market.

(e)              Valid Issuance. The Notes are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(e), free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable securities laws) and will not be subject to preemptive or similar rights of stockholders.

All outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and of each Subsidiary are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or such Subsidiary. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that have not been effectively waived as of the date hereof and as of each Applicable Closing Date. The issuance and sale of the Securities (including the Note Shares) and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Investors) and will not result in a right of any

15 

 

holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act.

To the knowledge of the Company, within the past ten years there has not been, and there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company or any current director or executive officer of the Company. The SEC 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.

(i)               Compliance. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or

16

Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any Subsidiary is held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6.1 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6.1; (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6.1(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Article VII
REGISTRATION RIGHTS; PARTICIPATION RIGHTS

7.1             Demand Registration Statement.

(a)              If, at any time after the earlier of the date that (A) is the twenty-four (24)-month anniversary of the Closing Date and (B) (i) with respect to PTC, the Board does not contain an individual designated by PTC, or (ii) with respect to Petrichor, Petrichor is not entitled to appoint an Observer pursuant to the terms of the Board Observer Agreement, such Board Observer Agreement has been terminated by the Company or Petrichor, or Petrichor shall otherwise cease to appoint an Observer

39 

 

(provided, however, that Petrichor shall not be entitled to demand registration rights under this Section 7.1 until the date which is nine (9) months following the First Closing Date in the event that the Board Observer Agreement is terminated by Petrichor, or Petrichor otherwise ceases to appoint an Observer), there is not an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, any Investor may provide a notice (the “Demand Notice”) to the Company requesting that the Company file a Registration Statement with respect to all or a portion of the Registrable Securities held by such Investor as specified in such notice (a “Demand Registration Statement”). Within five (5) Trading Days of the Company’s receipt of a Demand Notice from any Investor, the Company shall deliver written notice to each of the other Holders of its receipt of such Demand Notice (a “Demand Receipt Notice”), which Demand Receipt Notice shall inform each such Holder of its rights to include its Registrable Securities in the applicable Demand Registration Statement. Any Holder shall have the right to include all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration Statement by delivering the Company written notice of such election (an “Election Notice”) within ten (10) Trading Days following such Holder’s receipt of the applicable Demand Receipt Notice. Following the Company’s receipt of a Demand Notice from an Investor, the Company shall use its best efforts to expeditiously effect the registration of all of the Registrable Securities of such Investor and each of the other Holders requested to be included therein in the Demand Notice and all Election Notices for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 by the Filing Date. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be, at the election of the Investor that shall have delivered the applicable Demand Notice, on Form S-1 or another appropriate form for such purpose) and shall contain a plan of distribution description and selling stockholder information description as mutually agreed by the Company and the Holders that shall have elected to include their Registrable Securities in such registration; providedhowever, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior written consent. If the Company is a “well known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405) as of the date the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, such Registration Statement shall be an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a Trading Day. The Company shall notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Demand Registration Statement by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day immediately following the effective date of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the SEC as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holders within one (1) Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 7.1(h). Each Investor shall be entitled to deliver Demand Notices hereunder with respect to an unlimited number of Demand Registration Statements until such time as such Investor beneficially owns less than a Registrable Amount.

(b)             Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 7.1(a), if the staff of the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Demand Registration Statement cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company shall promptly inform each of the

40 

 

Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the staff of the SEC, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall use diligent efforts to advocate with the staff of the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

(c)              The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration Statement any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of each of the Investors.

(d)             Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to Section 7.1(h), if the staff of the SEC or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the staff of the SEC for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows: (i) first, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities; and (ii) second, the Company shall reduce the Registrable Securities by removing such portion of the Registrable Securities and/or agreeing to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities, in each case as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (it being acknowledged that, in the event that the SEC requires a general cutback in the number of Registrable Securities included thereunder, such cutback shall be implemented among the Holders on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Registrable Securities each such Holder requested to include therein). In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the applicable Holders at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holders’ allotment. In the event the Company amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the staff of the SEC or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Registration Statement, as amended.

(e)              The Company may not cause any other registration of securities for sale for its own account (other than a registration effected solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act is applicable) to become effective within one hundred twenty (120) days following the effective date of any Registration Statement required pursuant to this Section 7.1.

(f)              If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of all Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of all Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register all Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering all Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

(g)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or an Affiliate of any Holder as any “underwriter” without the prior written consent of such Holder.

(h)             If: (i) a Registration Statement subject to Section 7.1(a) is not filed on or prior to the applicable Filing Date (if the Company files the Registration Statement without affording the Holders

41 

 

the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 7.3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such Registration Statement within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement, or (v) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any twelve (12)-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such ten (10) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen (15) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of two percent (2.0%) multiplied by the aggregate initial principal amount of all Notes purchased by such Holder hereunder. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 7.1(h) in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per year (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the applicable Holders, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any partial liquidated damages under this Section 7.1(h) shall cease to accrue on the six (6)-month anniversary or such later date as of which all Registrable Securities may be transferred without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144; and provided, further, that partial liquidated damages under this Section 7.1(h) shall only be calculated based on the amount of Registrable Securities not otherwise included in an effective Registration Statement as of any applicable Event Date and any applicable monthly anniversary thereafter. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall not limit any liquidated damages provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document.

7.2             Piggy-Back Registrations. If, at any time there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company determines to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to the sale of securities of the Company or proposes or is required to effect an underwritten or registered offering of equity securities, in each case for its own account or the account of others, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such

42 

 

determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement or in such offering, as the case may be, all of the Registrable Securities of such Holder that such Holder requests to be registered or included in such offering; providedhowever, that the Company shall not be required to register or include in such offering any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7.2 that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other dispositions by such Holder.

7.3             Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a)              Not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and any similar or successor reports), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which any Holder shall reasonably object in good faith; provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than five (5) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and any similar or successor reports). Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in a form mutually agreed by the Company and the Holder on a date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section 7.3(a).

(b)             (i) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the staff of the SEC with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the staff of the SEC relating to a Registration Statement; provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

(c)              Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such

43 

 

Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; providedhowever, in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(d)             Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(e)              Furnish to each Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC; provided, that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.

(f)              Furnish to the selling Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary Prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities.

(g)             Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 7.3(c).

(h)             Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within

44 

 

the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that, the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(i)               In connection with a Demand Registration Statement, enter into customary agreements and use commercially reasonable efforts to take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Investor that shall have delivered the applicable Demand Notice in respect thereof in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration Statement, including preparing for and participating in a road show and all such other customary selling efforts as the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate such disposition.

(j)               In connection with a Demand Registration Statement, (i) make available for inspection by the Holders’ representatives, any underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities, and any attorney for the Holders or such underwriter and any accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries as will be reasonably necessary to enable them to conduct customary due diligence with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and the related Registration Statement and prospectus, and cause the representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to be made available to the Holders and their representatives for such diligence and supply all information reasonably requested by them; providedhowever, that (x) records and information obtained hereunder will be used by such Person only to conduct such due diligence and (y) records or information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential will not be disclosed by such Person unless (A) the disclosure of such records or information is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement or related Prospectus, (B) the release of such records or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or (C) necessary for defense in a legal action and (ii) as soon as practicable shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus as necessary and provide the Holders’ representatives and its counsel with the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus.

(k)             In connection with a Demand Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to any underwriter and the Holders a comfort letter from the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company (and additional comfort letters from the independent registered public accounting firm for any company acquired by the Company whose financial statements are included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement) in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily covered by comfort letters or as such underwriter and the Investor may reasonably request, including (x) that the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and (y) as to certain other financial information for the period ending no more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such letter.

(l)               In connection with a Demand Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to any underwriter and the Holders a 10b-5 statement and legal opinion from the Company’s counsel in customary form and covering such matters as are customarily covered by 10b-5 statements and legal opinions as such underwriter and the Holders may reasonably request.

45 

 

(m)            In connection with a Demand Registration Statement, enter into a written agreement with any underwriter selected by the Holders in such form and containing such provisions as are customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between such underwriter and companies of the Company’s size and investment stature and, to the extent practicable, on terms consistent with underwriting agreements entered into by the Company (it being understood that, unless required otherwise by the Securities Act or any other law, the Company will not require any Holder to make any representation, warranty or agreement in such agreement other than with respect to such Holder, the ownership of such Holder’s securities being registered and such Holder’s intended method of disposition).

(n)             If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.

(o)             Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 7.3(c), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 7.3(c) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 7.3(o) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 7.1(h), for a period not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any twelve (12)-month period.

(p)             Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.

(q)             Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on a Trading Market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

(r)              Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

(s)              The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and,

46 

 

if required by the SEC, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three (3) Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.

7.4             Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the SEC, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with “blue sky” qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder (including any underwriting discounts or commissions and fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities) or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

7.5             Miscellaneous.

(a)              No Piggy-back by other Persons. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements.

(b)             Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 7.3(c)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.1(h).

7.6             Participation in Future Financing.

(a)              At any time prior to the later of (i) the date that is the twenty-four (24)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) the date as of which an Investor beneficially owns less than 500,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination or other

recapitalization or reclassification effected after the date hereof), upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of such instruments (a “Subsequent Financing”), such Investor shall have the right to participate in the Subsequent Financing, on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing, in an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to up to the Participation Maximum. The “Participation Maximum” shall mean the greater of (x) such portion of the Subsequent Financing that is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by such Investor immediately prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing (based upon documentation or written representation reasonably satisfactory to the Company), divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding Common Stock Equivalents deemed to be beneficially owned by the Investor and included in the numerator) immediately prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing or (y) 10.5% of the Subsequent Financing, in the case of PTC, and 5.0% of the Subsequent Financing, in the case of the other Investors. At least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to the Investor a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask the Investor if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of an Investor, and only upon a request by such Investor, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Investor. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

(b)             In the event an Investor desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing, such Investor must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Company has delivered the Pre-Notice that the Investor is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Investor’s participation, and representing and warranting that the Investor has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from such Investor as of such third (3rd) Trading Day, such Investor shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

(c)              If by 5:30 p.m. (New York time) on the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Company has delivered the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Investor of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall not be entitled, without the consent of the Company, to participate in a Subsequent Financing in an amount more than the Participation Maximum.

(d)             The Company must provide the Investor with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Investor will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 7.6, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

(e)              The Company and the Investors agree that if an Investor elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Investor shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Notes Shares issuable hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or

48 

 

termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Investor.

(f)              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.6 and unless otherwise agreed to by the Investors, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Investors that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that the Investors will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by an Investor, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Investor shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(g)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.6 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.

Article VIII
COLLATERAL AGENT

8.1             Appointment. Each of the Investors hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Transaction Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Transaction Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

8.1             Duties. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Transaction Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Holders (as defined in the Notes), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the entity serving as Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Holders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Collateral Agent by the Company or an Investor, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Transaction Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Transaction Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Transaction Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Transaction Document. The entity serving as the Collateral Agent may generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Collateral Agent hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing

49 

 

believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

8.3             Sub-Agents. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their activities as Collateral Agent.

8.5             Successor Collateral Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Investors and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Holders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Holders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Investors, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral Agent.

8.7             on-Reliance. Each Investor acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Investor and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Investor also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Investor and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Article IX
MISCELLANEOUS

9.1             Termination.

(i)               by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; and

(ii)             by the Company or any Investor, upon written notice to the other parties hereto, if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated on or prior to February 29, 2020 or such later date, if any, as the Company and the Required Holders agree upon in writing (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this

50 

 

Section 9.1(a)(ii) is not available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated by such date;

(b)             In the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(a), this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto except that the provisions of this Article IX shall survive such termination and nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of any provision of this Agreement.

9.2             Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Company shall pay or otherwise reimburse the Collateral Agent and the Investors for all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Investors in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the matters contemplated herein and therein, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Collateral Agent and the Investors; provided, that the aggregate maximum amount of fees and expenses that the Company shall be required to reimburse the Investors in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents entered into in connection with the First Closing shall not exceed $150,000 unless otherwise mutually agreed upon between the Company and the Investors; provided, that the Investors shall notify the Company in writing at such time that such fees and expenses exceed $75,000.

9.3             Entire Agreement; Further Assurances. The Transaction Documents, together with the Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. At or after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company and the Investors will execute and deliver to the Investors such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction Documents.

9.4             Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and provided by email and by deposit with a nationally recognized courier service and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the Trading Date such notice or communication is delivered by such nationally recognized courier service to the party to whom such notice is required to be given, if such notice or communication is delivered at the address specified in this Section 9.4 prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York time) on a Trading Day, or (b) the next Trading Day after the date of delivery, if such notice or communication is delivered by such nationally recognized courier service to the party to whom such notice is required to be given at the address specified in this Section 9.4 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York time) on any Trading Day.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be

51 

 

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 any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

9.6             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.

9.7             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 Investors; provided, however this Agreement shall be assigned to any corporation or association into which the Company may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation, association or other similar entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Company shall be a party without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Any Investor may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities; provided (i) such transferor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company after such assignment, (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Investors” and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement and with all laws applicable thereto.

9.8             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.

9.9             Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company and Investors hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute brought by the Company or any Investor hereunder, 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 waive, and agree not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding brought by the Company or any Investor, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or 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. The Company and Investors hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.

9.10          Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 9.1(a), the representations and warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive indefinitely and shall not be

52 

 

merged in the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

9.11          Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, 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 or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.

9.12          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.

9.13          Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Documents. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.

9.14          Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Collateral Agent, the Investors and the Company 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 contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

9.15          Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, then the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), 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. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities, but without any requirement to post a bond (unless required by the Transfer Agent, in which case the cost of such bond shall be paid by the Company).

53 

 

9.16          Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
