ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THERMO

 

Thermo represents and warrants to the Company, as follows:

 

Section 3.1    Existence; Authorization. Thermo is duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The execution,
delivery and performance by Thermo of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby are within Thermo’s powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of Thermo. This Agreement has
been duly executed by Thermo and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of
Thermo.

 

Section 3.2    Non-Contravention; Approvals. The execution, delivery and
performance by Thermo of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) violate the organizational documents
of Thermo or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Thermo or any of its
properties or (ii) require any consent or other action by any person under,
constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of Thermo under any
provision of any agreement or other instrument binding upon Thermo. The
execution, delivery and performance by Thermo of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require any Approval
that has not been obtained.

Section 3.4     Securities Laws. Thermo is participating in this Agreement and
acquiring the Shares and any Additional Shares for its own account for
investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in
connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to
sales registered under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such
registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws. Thermo does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of
the Shares or the Additional Shares to or through any person or entity;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, Thermo does not
agree to hold any of the Shares of the Additional Shares for any minimum or
other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares or the
Additional Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

 

Section 3.5    Restricted Securities; Reliance on Exemptions. Thermo
acknowledges that the Shares and the Additional Shares are being offered and
sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements
of United States federal and state securities laws and, thus, are characterized
as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as
they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may
be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances. Thermo further understands that the Company is relying in part
upon the truth and accuracy of, and Thermo’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
Thermo set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of Thermo to acquire the Shares and the
Additional Shares.

 

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

 

Section 4.1    Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Further Assurances. The parties
shall each cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective
subsidiaries to use) their respective commercially reasonable efforts to
promptly take or cause to be taken all necessary actions, and do or cause to be
done all things, necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and
applicable laws to consummate and make effective all the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable after the date of this
Agreement. The failure of any party to perform the actions contemplated by this
Agreement shall not impair the rights and obligations of any party under this
Agreement, and notwithstanding any such failure, except as specifically set
forth in this Agreement, the parties shall endeavor in good faith to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the terms set forth herein.

 

Section 4.2    Delivery of the Shares and Payment. At the Closing, Thermo shall
pay the purchase price of the Shares by wire transfer to an account designated
by the Company. The Company shall file the Amendment as soon as possible under
applicable law after the Closing. Immediately after the filing of the Amendment,
the Company shall deliver to Thermo a certificate or certificates for the Shares
and any Additional Shares previously purchased or evidence from DTC that the
Shares and any such Additional Shares have been transferred from the Company’s
account at DTC to the account of Thermo or its DTC participant in accordance
with this Agreement. If the Amendment is not filed by July 31, 2013, the Company
shall deliver to Thermo shares of voting Common stock in lieu of the shares of
non-voting Common Stock otherwise contemplated hereby. If Thermo purchases any
Additional Shares after the filing of the Amendment, the Company shall deliver
to Thermo a certificate or certificates for the Additional Shares so purchased
or evidence from DTC that such Additional Shares have been transferred from the
Company’s account at DTC to the account of Thermo or its DTC participant in
accordance with this Agreement.

Section 4.3    Voting Restrictions. In accordance with the terms of existing
obligations of the Company and Thermo, Thermo shall not exercise any right to
vote the Shares or the Additional Shares in the election of directors of the
Company as long as Thermo and its affiliates own 70% or more of the Common Stock
of the Company.

 

Section 4.4    Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a)      Thermo covenants that the Shares and the Additional Shares will be
disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in
compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with
any transfer of the Shares or the Additional Shares other than pursuant to an
effective registration statement or to the Company, or pursuant to Rule 144(k),
the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the
books of the Company and with its transfer agent, without any such legal
opinion, except to the extent that the transfer agent requests such legal
opinion, any transfer of Shares or Additional Shares by Thermo to an Affiliate
of Thermo, provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and
provided that such Affiliate does not request any removal of any existing
legends on any certificate evidencing the Shares or the Additional Shares.

 

(b)       Thermo agrees to the imprinting, until no longer required by this
Section 4.4(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing any of the
Shares or the Additional Shares:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY
NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A
TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS. THESE
SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A
REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN
“ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR
OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

  

6

 

  

Certificates evidencing the Shares or the Additional Shares shall not be
required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) while a registration
statement covering the resale of the Shares is effective under the Securities
Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Additional Shares pursuant to
Rule 144 if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably
acceptable to the Company to the effect that the Shares or the Additional Shares
can be sold under Rule 144, (iii) if the Shares or Additional Shares are
eligible for sale without any volume limitation under Rule 144, or (iv) if the
holder provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the
Company to the effect that the legend is not required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC).

 

(c)      The Company will not object to and shall permit (except as prohibited
by law) Thermo to pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the
Shares or the Additional Shares in connection with a bona fide margin agreement
with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of
the Shares or the Additional Shares to a financial institution that is an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and if required under
the terms of such arrangement, the Company will not object to and shall permit
(except as prohibited by law) Thermo to transfer pledged or secured Shares or
Additional Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Except as required by law,
such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company, no
legal opinion of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in
connection therewith (but such legal opinion shall be required in connection
with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by Thermo to a
transferee of the pledgee), and no notice shall be required of such pledge.
Thermo acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges
relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Shares or the
Additional Shares or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between
Thermo and its pledgee or secured party. At Thermo’s expense, the Company will
execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party
of Shares or Additional Shares may reasonably request in connection with a
pledge or transfer of the Shares or Additonal Shares, including the preparation
and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.

 

Section 4.5    Filings.  Each of Thermo and the Company shall coordinate and
cooperate with one another and shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to
comply with, and shall each refrain from taking any action that would impede
compliance with, all legal requirements and shall make all filings, notices,
petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, application or
submission of other documents required by any Governmental Entity in connection
with the purchase of the Shares and the Additional Shares, including, without
limitation any filings required under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
applicable state or securities or “blue sky” laws and the securities laws of any
foreign country, or any other legal requirement relating to the purchase and
sale of the Shares and the Additional Shares.  Each of Thermo and the Company
will cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with any Governmental
Entity to comply in all material respects with all applicable legal
requirements.
