CHANGE IN CONTROL

SEVERANCE COMPENSATION

AND

RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT

 THIS SEVERANCE COMPENSATION AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of November 11, 2011 between MiMedx Group, Inc., a Florida Company (the “Company”), and MICHAEL J. SENKEN (the “Executive”).

 WHEREAS, the Company, has determined that it is appropriate to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without distraction in potentially disruptive circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the Company; and

 WHEREAS, the severance benefits payable by the Company to the Executive as provided herein are in part intended to ensure that the Executive receives reasonable compensation given the specific circumstances of Executive’s employment history with the Company;

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their respective obligations to one another set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which the parties hereby acknowledge, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 1.             Term.  This Agreement shall terminate, except to the extent that any obligation of the Company hereunder remains unpaid as of such time, upon the earliest of (i)the Date of Termination (as hereinafter defined) of the Executive’s employment with the Company as a result of the Executive’s death, Disability (as defined in Section3(b)) or Retirement (as defined in Section3(c)), by the Company for Cause (as defined in Section3(d)) or by the Executive other than for Good Reason (as defined in Section3(e)); and (ii)three years from the date of a Change in Control if the Executive’s employment with the Company has not terminated as of such time.

 2.             Change in Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean and be deemed to have occurred on the earliest to occur of a change in the ownership of the Company, a change in the effective control of the Company, a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets and a disposition of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets, all as defined below:

 

(a)           A change in the ownership of the Company occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires ownership of stock of the Company which, together with stock held by such person or group, represents more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company.  An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock.

(b)          A change in the effective control of the Company occurs on the date that either: any one person, or more than one person acting as a group becomes the beneficial owner of stock of the Company possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; or a majority of members of the Company’s board of directors is replaced during any 24-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the Company’s board of directors who were directors prior to the date of the appointment or election of the first of such new directors.

(c)          A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total fair market value equal to seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the total fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions.  The transfer of assets by the Company is not treated as a change in the ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to an entity more than fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

(d)          A disposition of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets occurs on the date that the Company transfers assets by sale, lease, exchange, distribution to shareholders, assignment to creditors, foreclosure or otherwise, in a transaction or transactions not in the ordinary course of the Company’s business (or has made such transfers during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent transfer of assets) that have a total fair market value equal to seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the total fair market value of all of the assets of the Company as of the date immediately prior to the first such transfer or transfers.  The transfer of assets by the Company is not treated as a disposition of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets if the assets are transferred to an entity, more than fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.

 

 3.             Termination Following Change in Control.

 

                                (a)          General.  If the Executive is still an employee of the Company at the time of a Change in Control, the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits provided in Section4 upon the subsequent termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company by the Executive or by the Company during the term of this Agreement, unless such termination is as a result of (i)the Executive’s death; (ii)the Executive’s Disability; (iii)the Executive’s Retirement; (iv)the Executive’s termination by the Company for Cause; or (v)the Executive’s decision to terminate employment other than for Good Reason.

 

                               (b)          Disability.  The term “Disability” as used in this Agreement shall mean termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company as a result of the Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, provided that the Executive shall have been absent from his duties with the Company on a full-time basis for six consecutive months and such absence shall have continued unabated for 30 days after Notice of Termination as described in Section 3(f) is thereafter given to the Executive by the Company.

(c)           Retirement.  The term “Retirement” as used in this Agreement shall mean termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company based on the Executive’s having attained age 65 or such later retirement age as shall have been established pursuant to a written agreement between the Company and the Executive.

(d)           Cause.  The term “Cause” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment on the basis of criminal or civil fraud on the part of the Executive involving a material amount of funds of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Company’s Board of Directors at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in the first sentence of this Section3(d) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.  For purposes of this Agreement only, the preparation and filing of fictitious, false or misleading claims in connection with any federal, state or other third party medical reimbursement program, or any other violation of any rule or regulation in respect of any federal, state or other third party medical reimbursement program by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to constitute “criminal fraud” or “civil fraud.”

(e)           Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any of the following actions taken by the Company without the Executive’s express written consent:

(i)  The assignment to the Executive by the Company of duties inconsistent with, or a material adverse alteration of the powers and functions associated with, the Executive’s position, duties, responsibilities and status with the Company prior to a Change in Control, or an adverse change in the Executive’s titles or offices as in effect prior to a Change in Control, or any removal of the Executive from or any failure to re-elect the Executive to any of such positions, except in connection with the termination of his employment for Disability, Retirement or Cause or as a result of the Executive’s death or by the Executive other than for Good Reason;

(ii)  A reduction in the Executive’s base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time during the term of this Agreement;

(iii)  Any failure by the Company to continue in effect any benefit plan, program or arrangement (including, without limitation, any profit sharing plan, group annuity contract, group life insurance supplement, or medical, dental, accident and disability plans) in which the Executive was eligible to participate at the time of a Change in Control  (hereinafter referred to as “Benefit Plans”), or the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect the Executive’s participation in or materially reduce the Executive’s benefits under any such Benefit Plan, unless a comparable substitute Benefit Plan shall be made available to the Executive, or deprive the Executive of any fringe benefit enjoyed by the Executive at the time of a Change in Control;

 

  

3

  

(iv)  Any failure by the Company to continue in effect any incentive plan or arrangement (including, without limitation, any bonus or contingent bonus arrangements and credits and the right to receive performance awards and similar incentive compensation benefits) in which the Executive is participating at the time of a Change in Control (or any other plans or arrangements providing him with substantially similar benefits) (hereinafter referred to as “Incentive Plans”) or the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect the Executive’s participation in any such Incentive Plan or reduce the Executive’s benefits under any such Incentive Plan, expressed as a percentage of his base salary, by more than five percentage points in any fiscal year as compared to the immediately preceding fiscal year, or any action to reduce Executive’s bonuses under any Incentive Plan by more than five percentage points (5%) in any fiscal year as compared to the immediately preceding fiscal year;

(vi)  A relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices to a location more than fifty (50) miles from its location immediately prior to a Change in Control, or the Executive’s relocation to any place other than the Company’s principal executive offices, except for required travel by the Executive on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations immediately prior to a Change in Control;

(vii) Required work and or travel schedule that is not substantially consistent with the Executive’s work and/or business travel schedule immediately prior to a Change in Control:

 

(viii)  Any failure by the Company to provide the Executive with the number of Paid Time Off (“PTO”) days (or compensation therefor at termination of employment) accrued to the Executive through the Date of Termination;

(ix)  Any material breach by the Company of any provision of this Agreement;

 

  

4

  

 

(viii)  Any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assign of the Company effected in accordance with the provisions of Section7(a) hereof;

(ixi)  Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment that is not effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination satisfying the requirements of Section3(f), and for purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective; or

(xi)  Any proposal or request by the Company after the Effective Date to require that the Executive enter into a non-competition agreement with the Company where the terms of such agreement as to its scope or duration are greater than the terms set forth in Section 5 hereof.

(f)            Notice of Termination.  Any termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for a reason specified in Section3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) shall be communicated to the Executive by a Notice of Termination prior to the effective date of the termination.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate whether such termination is for the reason set forth in Section 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) and which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.  For purposes of this Agreement, no termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company shall constitute a termination for Disability, Retirement or Cause unless such termination is preceded by a Notice of Termination.

(g)           Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (a)if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Disability, 30 days after a Notice of Termination is given to the Executive (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of the Executive’s duties on a full-time basis during such 30-day period) or (b)if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company or the Executive for any other reason, the date on which the Executive’s termination is effective; provided that, if within 30 days after any Notice of Termination is given to the Executive by the Company the Executive notifies the Company that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the date the dispute is finally determined whether by mutual agreement by the parties or upon final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected).  For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment by the Company shall be deemed terminated upon the date the Executive incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and the regulations issued thereunder.

 4.             Compensation and Benefits upon Termination of Employment.

(a)           If the Company shall terminate the Executive’s employment after a Change in Control other than pursuant to Section3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) and Section 3(f), or if the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to the Executive, as severance compensation and in consideration of the Executive’s adherence to the terms of Section 5 hereof, the following:

 

  

5

  

(i)           On the Date of Termination, the Company shall become liable to the Executive for an amount equal to one (1.0) times the Executive’s annual base compensation and targeted base bonus on the date of the Change in Control, which amount shall be paid to the Executive in cash on or before the fifth business day following the Date of Termination.

(ii)           For a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, the following benefits are provided to the Executive: a) if the Executive elects and remains eligible for COBRA coverage for the Executive and anyone entitled to claim under or through the Executive, the Executive shall be entitled to purchase the COBRA coverage under the group medical plan, dental plan or vision plan at a subsidized COBRA rate equal to the “active” employee contribution rate for Executive and dependents (where applicable); and b) Executive’s participation in the  life or other similar insurance or death benefit plan, or other present or future similar group employee benefit plan or program of the Company (excluding short-term or long-term disability insurance) for which key executives are eligible at the date of a Change in Control, to the same extent as if the Executive had continued to be an employee of the Company during such period and such benefits shall, to the extent not fully paid under any such plan or program, be paid by the Company.

 

(iii)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  If and to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, no payment or benefit shall be made or provided to a “specified employee” (as defined below) prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code).  The amounts provided for in this Agreement that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation shall be paid as soon as the six month deferral period ends.  In the event that benefits are required to be deferred, any such benefit may be provided during such six month deferral period at the Executive’s expense, with the Executive having a right to reimbursement from the Company for the amount of any premiums or expenses paid by the Executive once the six month deferral period ends.  For this purpose, a specified employee shall mean an individual who is a key employee (as defined in Section416(i) of the Code without regard to Section416(i)(5) of the Code) of the Company at any time during the 12-month period ending on each December 31 (the “identification date”).  If the Executive is a key employee as of an identification date, the Executive shall be treated as a specified employee for the 12-month period beginning on the April 1 following the identification date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be treated as a specified employee unless any stock of the Company or a Company or business affiliated with it pursuant to Sections 414(b) or (c) of the Code is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise.

 

(b)           The parties hereto agree that the payments provided in Section4(a) hereof are reasonable compensation in light of the Executive’s services rendered to the Company and in consideration of the Executive’s adherence to the terms of Section 5 hereof.  Neither party shall contest the payment of such benefits as constituting an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section280G(b)(1) of the Code.  In the event that the Executive becomes entitled to the compensation and benefits described in Section4(a) hereof (the “Compensation Payments”) and the Company has determined, based upon the advise of tax counsel selected by the Company’s independent auditors and acceptable to the Executive, that, as a result of such Compensation Payments and any other benefits or payments required to be taken into account under Code Section 280G(b)(2) (“Parachute Payments”), any of such Parachute Payments must be reported by the Company as “excess parachute payments” and are therefore not deductible by the Company, the Company shall pay to the Executive at the time specified in Section4(a) above an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any of the tax imposed on the Executive by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) and any Federal, state and local income tax and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Parachute Payments determined prior to the application of this paragraph.  The value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors.  For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of Federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation in the state and locality of the Executive’s residence on the Date of Termination, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.  In the event that the Excise Tax payable by the Executive is subsequently determined to be less than the amount, if any, taken into account hereunder at the time of termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall repay to the Company at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided for in Section1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code (“Repayment Amount”).  In the event that the Excise Tax payable by the Executive is determined to exceed the amount, if any, taken into account hereunder at the time of the termination of the Executive’s employment (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-Up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest and penalty payable with respect to such excess) immediately prior to the time that the amount of such excess is required to be paid by Executive (“Additional Gross-up”), such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Parachute Payments and any Federal, state and local income tax and Excise Tax upon the Additional Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Parachute Payments determined prior to the application of this paragraph.  The obligation to pay any Repayment Amount or Additional Gross-up shall remain in effect under this Agreement for the entire period during which the Executive remains liable for the Excise Tax, including the period during which any applicable statute of limitation remains open.

 

  

6

  

 

(c)           The payments provided in Section4(a) above shall be in lieu of any other severance compensation otherwise payable to Executive under any other agreement between Executive and the Company or the Company’s established severance compensation policies; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall affect or impair Executive’s vested rights under any other employee benefit plan or policy of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if more than one Change in Control occurs during the term hereof, the term of this Agreement shall be measured from the latest such Change in Control to occur and the amount of compensation payable under Section 4(a)(1) shall be based upon the highest annual base salary, targeted base bonus and car allowance payable to Executive on the date of any such Change in Control, but Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance compensation under Section 4(a) more than once.

 

  

7

  

 

(d)           Unless the Company determines that any Parachute Payments made hereunder must be reported as “excess parachute payments” in accordance with the third sentence of Section4(b) above, neither party shall file any return taking the position that the payment of such benefits constitutes an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section280G(b)(1) of the Code.  If the Internal Revenue Service proposes an assessment of Excise Tax against the Executive in excess of the amount, if any, taken into account at the time specified in Section4(a), then, if the Company notifies Executive in writing that the Company elects to contest such assessment at its expense, unless the Executive waives the right to an Additional Gross-Up Payment, the Executive (i)shall in good faith cooperate with the Company in contesting such proposed assessment; and (ii)such Executive shall not settle such contest without the written consent of the Company.  Any such contest shall be controlled by the Company, provided, however, that the Executive may participate in such contest.

 5.             Protective Covenants.

(a)           Definitions.

This Subsection sets forth the definition of certain capitalized terms used in Subsections (a) through (f) of this Section 5.

(i)  “Competing Business” shall mean a business (other than the Company) that, directly or through a controlled subsidiary or through an affiliate, is an integrated developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a) collagen based biomaterials or products and/or durable hydrogel biomaterials or products, b) bioimplants manufactured from human amniotic membrane, or c) amnion based products (collectively, “Competing Services”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no business shall be deemed a “Competing Business” unless, within at least one of the business’s three most recently concluded fiscal years, that business, or a division of that business, derived more than twenty percent (20%) of its gross revenues or more than $2,000,000 in gross revenues from the provision of Competing Services.

(ii)  “Competitive Position” shall mean:  (A) the Executive’s direct or indirect equity ownership (excluding ownership of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding common stock of any publicly held Company) or control of any portion of any Competing Business; or (B) any employment, consulting, partnership, advisory, directorship, agency, promotional or independent contractor arrangement between the Executive and any Competing Business where the Executive performs services for the Competing Business substantially similar to those the Executive performed for the Company.

 

  

8

  

(iii)  “Covenant Period” shall mean the period of time from the date of this Agreement to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination.

(iv)  “Customers” shall mean actual customers, clients or referral sources to or on behalf of which the Company provides Competing Services (A) during the two years prior to the date of this Agreement and (B) during the Covenant Period.

(v)  “Restricted Territory” shall mean the 48 continuous states of the continental United States.

(b)           Limitation on Competition.  In consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, the Executive agrees that during the Covenant Period, the Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, anywhere within the Restricted Territory, either directly or indirectly, alone or in conjunction with any other party, accept, enter into or take any action in conjunction with or in furtherance of a Competitive Position (other than action to reject an unsolicited offer of a Competitive Position).

(c)            Limitation on Soliciting Customers.  In consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, the Executive agrees that during the Covenant Period, the Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, alone or in conjunction with any other party, solicit, divert or appropriate or attempt to solicit, divert or appropriate on behalf of a Competing Business with which Executive has a Competitive Position any Customer located in the Restricted Territory (or any other Customer with which the Executive had any direct contact on behalf of the Company) for the purpose of providing the Customer or having the Customer provided with a Competing Service.

(d)           Limitation on Soliciting Personnel or Other Parties.  In consideration of the Company’s entering into this Agreement, the Executive hereby agrees that he will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, alone or in conjunction with any other party, solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, consultant, contractor, independent broker or other personnel of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to terminate, alter or lessen that party’s affiliation with the Company or to violate the terms of any agreement or understanding between such employee, consultant, contractor or other person and the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

(e)           Acknowledgement.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Protective Covenants are reasonable as to time, scope and territory given the Company’s need to protect its trade secrets and confidential business information and given the substantial payments and benefits to which the Executive may be entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

(f)            Remedies.  The parties acknowledge that any breach or threatened breach of a Protective Covenant by the Executive is reasonably likely to result in irreparable injury to the Company, and therefore, in addition to all remedies provided at law or in equity, the Executive agrees that the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of the Protective Covenant.  If the Company seeks an injunction, the Executive waives any requirement that the Company post a bond or any other security.

 6.             No Obligation to Mitigate Damages; No Effect on Other Contractual Rights.

(a)           All compensation and benefits provided to the Executive under this Agreement are in consideration of the Executive’s services rendered to the Company and of the Executive’s adhering to the terms set forth in Section 5 hereof and the Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination, or otherwise.

(b)           The provisions of this Agreement, and any payment provided for hereunder, shall not reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish the Executive’s existing rights, or rights which would accrue solely as a result of the passage of time, under any Benefit Plan, Incentive Plan or Securities Plan, employment agreement or other contract, plan or arrangement.

 7.             Successor to the Company.

Any failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession or assignment shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment for Good Reason.  As used in this Agreement (except for purposes of defining “Change in Control” in Section 2), “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any Successor or Assign to the Company.  If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Executive is employed by any Company a majority of the voting securities of which is then owned by the Company, “Company” as used in Sections3, 4, 12 and 14 hereof shall in addition include such employer.  In such event, the Company agrees that it shall pay or shall cause such employer to pay any amounts owed to the Executive pursuant to Section4 hereof.

(b)           This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If the Executive should die while any amounts are still payable to him hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s devisee, legatee, or the designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive’s estate.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be provided and paid in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  The Company and the Executive shall cooperate to modify this Agreement as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  In the event the Company does not so cooperate, it shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive on an after-tax basis from any tax or interest penalty imposed under Section 409A of the Code with respect to any payment or benefit provided pursuant to this Agreement or any other plan or arrangement sponsored or maintained by the Company to the extent such tax or interest penalty is imposed as a result of any failure of the Company to comply with Section 409A of the Code with respect to such payment or benefit.

14.           Severability; Modification.  All provisions of this Agreement are severable from one another, and the unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, but such remaining provisions shall be interpreted and construed in such a manner as to carry out fully the intention of the parties.  Should any judicial body interpreting this Agreement deem any provision of this Agreement to be unreasonably broad in time, territory, scope or otherwise, it is the intent and desire of the parties that such judicial body, to the greatest extent possible, reduce the breadth of such provision to the maximum legally allowable parameters rather than deeming such provision totally unenforceable or invalid.

15.           Confidentiality.  The Executive acknowledges that he has previously entered into, and continues to be bound by the terms of, the Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Agreement, dated January 13, 2010, with the Company.

16.           Agreement Not an Employment Contract.  This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute or be deemed ancillary to an employment contract between the Company and the Executive, and nothing herein shall be deemed to give the Executive the right to continue in the employ of the Company or to eliminate the right of the Company to discharge the Executive at any time.

 

17.           Limited Release.  The Company’s obligation to provide severance payments to Executive under this Agreement is expressly contingent upon the Company’s prior receipt of an executed copy of a Limited Release in a form customarily utilized by the Company for such matters (the “Limited Release”).  The Company will have no obligation to provide severance payments to Executive in the event that Executive (i) does not deliver to the Company an executed Limited Release , or (ii) does deliver an executed General Release to the Company, but Executive breaches any representation, warranty or covenant of the Limited Release after delivery.  Furthermore, the Company will be entitled to accrue and withhold any severance payment otherwise due during any period in which the Limited Release is revocable (in whole or in part) by Employee, provided that any such withheld payments will promptly be remitted to Executive when the Release Agreement becomes irrevocable.

For value received MiMedx  Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of _____________________________  (“Lender ”) the principal sum of _______________________________ Thousand and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($________________), pursuant to that certain 5% Revolving Secured Line of Credit Agreement (Series $2.5 Million 2011) dated as of even date herewith among the Borrower and the Lender (the “Credit Agreement”), or such lesser amount as shall equal the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.  The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note on the dates provided for in the Credit Agreement at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.  Interest on any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on the principal amount hereof shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date, subject to extension as provided in the Credit Agreement.  Interest shall begin to accrue on the date of each Advance and shall continue to accrue on the outstanding principal amount hereof until converted into common stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”) as provided herein, or until the payment in full of all amounts due under this Note, whichever occurs first.  All such payments of principal and interest shall be made in lawful money of the United States or other immediately available funds at the address of Lender specified from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Upon payment in full of the amount of all principal and interest payable hereunder (whether in cash or Common Stock upon a Voluntary Conversion, as defined below), this Note shall be surrendered to the Borrower for cancellation.  This Note is secured by a security interest in the Collateral, as defined in, and subject to the terms of, that certain Security and Intercreditor Agreement of even date herewith (the “Security Agreement”).

 

  

  

  

1.            This Note is the Note referred to in the Credit Agreement.  Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.  Reference is made to the Credit Agreement for provisions for the optional and mandatory prepayment and the repayment hereof and the acceleration of the maturity hereof, as well as the obligation of the Borrower to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in the event this Note is collected by law or through an attorney at law.

 

2.           This Note is issued pursuant to that certain 5% Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note Subscription Agreement (Series $2.5 Million 2011) dated as of ______________ __, 2011, (the “Note Subscription  Agreement ”) between the Lender and the Borrower, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Note Subscription  Agreement, the Credit Agreement, and the Security Agreement.  However, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Note and the Note Subscription Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or the Security Agreement, the terms of this Note shall govern. This Note shall be pari passu as to payment and lien priority rights, ratably with all other Lenders who have executed or hereafter shall execute Credit Agreements with the Borrower pursuant to the offering of  5% Convertible Senior Secured Revolving Promissory Notes (Series $2.5 Million 2011), and with Parker H. Petit,  pursuant to the loan heretofore made by him to Borrower in the original principal amount of $3.6 million, as adjusted, pursuant to that certain 5% Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note dated March 31, 2011, as more particularly described in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement.

 

3.           This Note is convertible, in whole but not part, into Common Stock at any time upon the election of the Lender into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of this Note as of date of such election, divided by (b) $1.00 (the “Conversion Price”).  Such voluntary election to convert by Lender is herein called a “Voluntary Conversion.”

 

4.           Notwithstanding the other terms and conditions of this Note, in the event of a “Change in Control Transaction” (as hereinafter defined) which occurs prior to any other Voluntary Conversion, then, effective immediately upon the consummation of such Change in Control Transaction, the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note shall be due and payable in full.  As used herein, the term “Change in Control Transaction” means any of the following transactions: (A) a share exchange, consolidation or merger of the Borrower with or into any other entity or any other corporate reorganization whether or not the Borrower is the surviving entity (unless the stockholders of the Borrower immediately prior to such share exchange, consolidation, merger or reorganization hold in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the general voting power of the Borrower or the surviving entity, as the case may be, immediately after the closing of such transaction); (B) a transaction or series of related transactions in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Borrower’s general voting power is transferred to a third party (or group of affiliated third parties) that were not previously stockholders of the Borrower; or (C) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower (unless the stockholders of the Borrower immediately prior to such sale hold in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the general voting power of the purchasing party or parties).  The determination of “general voting power” shall be based on the aggregate number of votes that are attributable to outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of directors, general partners, managers or persons performing analogous functions to directors of the entity in question, without regard to contractual arrangements that establish a management structure or that vest the right to designate directors in certain parties.  

 

  

  

  

5.           Upon the occurrence of a Voluntary Conversion, the applicable amount of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note shall be converted into Common Stock of the Borrower at the Conversion Price, without any further action by the Lender and whether or not the Note is surrendered to the Borrower or its transfer agent.  Upon and after a Voluntary Conversion, the Borrower shall have no further obligation to make any payment of principal, interest or other amounts under the Note. The Borrower shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless and until such Note is either delivered to the Borrower or its transfer agent, or Lender notifies the Borrower or its transfer agent that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Borrower to indemnify the Borrower from any loss incurred by it in connection with such Note.  The Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to the Lender, a certificate or certificates for the securities to which Lender shall be entitled and a check payable to the Lender in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares, as determined by the board of directors of the Borrower.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made concurrently with the close of the Voluntary Conversion.  The person or persons entitled to receive securities issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such securities on such date.

 

6.           This Note shall be governed by construed and under the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.

 

7.           Any term of this Note may be amended or waived (subject to the provisions of the Security and Intercreditor Agreement) with the written consent of Borrower and the Lender provided that this Note may not be amended if it disproportionately affects the Lender hereof, without the consent of Lender of this Note.

 

8.           Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Lender or any other person the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder of the Borrower.

 

9.           This Note may be transferred only upon (a) its surrender by Lender to the Borrower for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Borrower and (b) compliance with applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Note Subscription Agreement, including (without limitation) the Borrower’s receipt, if it so requests, of an opinion of counsel as set forth in the Note Subscription Agreement.  Thereupon, this Note shall be reissued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee, or a new Note for like principal amount and interest shall be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee.  Interest and principal shall be paid solely to the registered holder of this Note.  Such payment shall constitute full discharge of the Borrower’s obligation to pay such interest and principal.

 

  

  

  

10.           The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of demand, protest and nonpayment and any other notice required by law relative hereto, except to the extent as otherwise may be expressly provided for in the Credit Agreement.

Upon an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Majority in Interest, and subject to this Security/Intercreditor Agreement, shall have the right to accelerate the maturity of the Notes and to take and exercise any rights as a secured creditor with respect to the Collateral under the UCC and this Security/Intercreditor Agreement.  Each Lender hereby agrees that it shall not amend or assign its Loan Documents without the prior written consent of a Majority In Interest.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of Grantor, Grantor shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem desirable to obtain the full benefit of this Security/Intercreditor Agreement.

7.2           Maintenance of Records.  Grantor shall keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral. Grantor shall allow reasonable access to such records upon reasonable notice from Lenders.

The Grantor agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, consent to, permit or suffer to occur any sale, transfer, Lien, or use of any of the Collateral adversely affecting the interest of the Lenders therein, other than  pursuant to Permitted Liens and Permitted Dispositions.

8.             Rights and Remedies Upon Default.

(a)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (subject to the provisions of this Security/Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Documents), the Lenders, acting through the Collateral Agent, shall have the right to take title to, seize, assign, sell, and otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, either at public or private sale, in lots or in bulk, for cash, credit or otherwise, with or without representations or warranties, and upon such terms as shall be reasonable, and any Lender may bid or become the purchaser at any such sale.  If notification to Grantor of any intended disposition by the Lenders of any of the Collateral is required by applicable law, such notification will be deemed to have been reasonable and proper if given at least 20 days prior to such disposition.

(b)           If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Lenders, acting through the Collateral Agent, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them under this Security/Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Documents, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

(c)           Except as specifically provided for herein, Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security/Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral.

(d)           The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed in the following order of priorities:

First, to the Collateral Agent in an amount sufficient to pay in full the reasonable costs of the Collateral Agent in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization, including all fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees;

Second, to the Lenders in the amount of the Pro Rata Share owing to each Lender; and

Finally, upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, to Grantor or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

9.             Reinstatement.  This Security/Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of Lenders or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor's property and assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

  

  

  

10.            Miscellaneous.

 

10.1          No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) Lenders shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of their respective rights or remedies hereunder, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion preclude the further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

(b) The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

(c) None of the terms or provisions of this Security/Intercreditor Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except as provided herein.

10.4          Governing Law. In all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, this Security/Intercreditor Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia applicable to contracts made and performed in such state, without regard to the principles thereof regarding conflict of laws.

10.5          Counterparts. This Security/Intercreditor Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.6          Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Security/Intercreditor Agreement are not to be considered in construing this Security/Intercreditor Agreement.

10.7          Severability. In case any provision of this Security/Intercreditor Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.8          Agreement is Entire Contract. This Security/Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents, constitute the final, complete and exclusive contract between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to the other in any manner by any warranties, representations, guarantees or covenants except as specifically set forth herein and in such other documents referred to above.

2.             Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the termination provisions set forth herein), this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time during normal business hours on or after the Effective Date and prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Expiration Date.  The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part (except that this Warrant shall not be exercisable as to a fractional share), by: (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Subscription Notice"), of such holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased; (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) in cash, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check; and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company in Kennesaw, Georgia (or at such other agency or office of the Company as the Company may designate by notice to the Holder); provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be issued in any name other than that of the Holder, such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 14 shall be applicable.  In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, registered in the name of, or as directed by, the Holder, shall be delivered to, or as directed by the Holder within a reasonable time after the date on which such rights shall have been so exercised. In the event that this Warrant becomes exercisable due to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall give the Holder written notice of the occurrence thereof at least five business days prior to the consummation of the transaction which was approved by the shareholders of the Company.

 

  

  

  

(b)           Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or have been fully exercised, the Company shall issue, within such fifteen (15) day period, a new Warrant identical in all respects to the Warrant exercised except (x) such new Warrant shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under the warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such original Warrant was exercised, and (y) the Warrant Exercise Price thereof shall be, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price of the Warrant exercised.  The person in whose name any certificate for Warrant Shares is issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the amount due in respect of such exercise and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such share certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are properly closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Warrant Shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

 

3.             Termination of the Warrant.  This Warrant shall automatically terminate without exercise and shall be null and void on the Measurement Date, if the 2011 Gross Revenues of the Company equals or exceeds $11,500,000.

 

4.             Covenants as to Common Stock.

 

(a)           The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and that the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price.

 

  

  

  

(b)           If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued to the Holder, then the Company covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

 

5.             Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Stock Splits, Dividends, Distributions and Combinations; and Adjustment of Number of Shares.

 

(a)           In case the Company shall at any time split or subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or issue a stock dividend (including any distribution of stock without consideration) or make a distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities payable in Common Stock or in Convertible Securities, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or stock dividend or distribution shall be proportionately reduced and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, in each case, by multiplying the then effective Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock, immediately after such subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, "on a fully diluted basis" means that all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, including all Convertible Securities, and all outstanding options and warrants, whether or not vested, shall be taken into account.

 

(b)           Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price as provided above in this Section 5, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth of a share) obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

 

  

  

  

6.             Reorganization, Reclassification, Etc.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, in case of any capital reorganization, or of any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a split-up or combination) or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in the Common Stock being changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities or property of any other person), or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation, this Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, entitle the Holder hereof to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be made, as the case may be, to which the holder hereof would have been entitled if he had held the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, and, in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions thereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby.  The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger of the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the registered holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase.

 

7.             Notice of Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price.  Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, then the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Warrant Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment and the increase, or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at the Warrant Exercise Price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

 

8.             Computation of Adjustments.  Upon each computation of an adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be computed to the nearest cent (i.e. fraction of .5 of a cent, or greater, shall be rounded to the next highest cent) and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be calculated to the nearest whole share (i.e. fractions of less than one half of a share shall be disregarded and fractions of one half of a share, or greater, shall be treated as being a whole share).  No such adjustment shall be made however, if the change in the Warrant Exercise Price would be less than $.001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be made (i) at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments carried forward, shall amount to $.001 per share or more, or (ii) if earlier, upon the third anniversary of the event for which such adjustment is required.

 

  

  

  

9.             Net Issue Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Exercise Price at the date of exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of exercising the Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of the Warrant (or portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of the Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the duly executed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y(A - B)

 

A

 

WHERE X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;

 

Y = the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the number of shares underlying the Warrant to the extent exercised (at the date of such exercise);

 

A = the Market Price of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation); and

 

B = Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation).

 

10.           No Change in Warrant Terms on Adjustment.  Irrespective of any adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, this Warrant, whether theretofore or thereafter issued or reissued, may continue to express the same price and number of shares as are stated herein and the Warrant Exercise Price and such number of shares specified herein shall be deemed to have been so adjusted.

 

11.           Taxes.  The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares or any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder hereof or upon any transfer of this Warrant.

 

12.           Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder.  No holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance of record to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.

 

  

  

  

13.           No Limitation on Corporate Action.  No provisions of this Warrant and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way limit, affect or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Articles of Incorporation, reorganize, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, or to transfer all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise of any other of its corporate rights and powers.

 

14.           Transfer; Opinions of Counsel; Restrictive Legends.  To the extent applicable, each certificate or other document evidencing any of the Warrant Shares shall be endorsed with the legends set forth below, and Holder covenants that, except to the extent such restrictions are waived by the Company, Holder shall not transfer the Warrant Shares without complying with the restrictions on transfer described in the legends endorsed thereon;

 

(a)           The following legend under the Securities Act:

 

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

 

(b)           If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance or sale of the Warrant Shares, the legend required by such state authority.

 

(c)           The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books either this Warrant or any Warrant Shares which shall have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 14, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Warrant Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Warrant Shares shall have been so transferred.

 

(d)           Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 14 shall be removed (i) if the Warrant Shares represented by such certificate shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act or otherwise lawfully sold in a public transaction, or (ii) if the holder of such Warrant Shares shall have provided the Company with an opinion from counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that a public sale, transfer or assignment of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be made without registration.

 

  

  

  

(e)           Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 14 shall be removed if the Company receives an order of the appropriate state authority authorizing such removal or if the holder of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that such state legend may be removed.

 

(f)            Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant at any time other than to an affiliate of the Holder; provided, however, that such affiliate transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 14.  In addition, the Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant Shares unless:

 

(i)            There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

 

(ii)           Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Company, (A) Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of the Warrant or any Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and (B) the transferee shall have furnished to the Company its agreement to abide by the restrictions on transfer set forth herein as if it were a purchaser hereunder.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 14, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer by a Holder, (i) if it is a partnership or a corporation, to a partner or pro rata to its equity holder(s) of such Holder (or a third party duly authorized to act on behalf of such Holder or its partners or equity holders), or (ii) if he or she is an individual, to members of such individual's family for estate planning purposes; provided, however, that the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 14.

 

(h)           Upon delivery of the foregoing opinion of counsel (with respect to a transfer of the Warrant Shares) and the surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, together with (i) the assignment form annexed hereto as Exhibit B (the "Assignment Form") duly executed and (ii) funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, if it determines such transfer is permitted by the terms of this Warrant, without additional charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

 

15.           Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (except in the event of loss, theft, mutilation or destruction while this Warrant is in possession of the Company's Escrow Agent, in which events the Company shall be solely responsible) (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.  Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

  

  

  

16.           Representation of Holder.  The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, for its own account, for investment purposes, and not with a present view either to sell, distribute, or transfer, or to offer for sale, distribution, or transfer, any of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares, or any other securities issuable upon the exercise thereof.

 

17.           Restricted Securities.  The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, will not be registered at the time of their issuance under the Securities Act for the reason that the sale provided for in this Warrant is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act based on the representations of the Holder set forth herein.  The Warrant Holder represents that it is experienced in evaluating companies such as the Company, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and has the ability to suffer the total loss of the investment.  The Holder further represents that it has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrant, the business of the Company, and to obtain additional information to such Holder's satisfaction.  The Holder represents that it is an "Accredited Investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect.

 

18.           Notices.  All Notices, requests and other communications that the Holder or the Company is required or elects to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) upon personal delivery thereof, including by appropriate courier service, five (5) days after delivery to the courier or, if earlier, upon delivery against a signed receipt therefore or (b) upon transmission by facsimile or telecopier, which transmission is confirmed, in either case addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth below or at such other address as such party shall have notified the other parties hereto, by notice given in conformity with this Section 18.

2.             Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the termination provisions set forth herein), this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time during normal business hours on or after the Effective Date and prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Expiration Date.  The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part (except that this Warrant shall not be exercisable as to a fractional share), by: (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the "Subscription Notice"), of such holder's election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased; (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) in cash, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check; and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company in Kennesaw, Georgia (or at such other agency or office of the Company as the Company may designate by notice to the Holder); provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be issued in any name other than that of the Holder, such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 14 shall be applicable.  In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, registered in the name of, or as directed by, the Holder, shall be delivered to, or as directed by the Holder within a reasonable time after the date on which such rights shall have been so exercised. In the event that this Warrant becomes exercisable due to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall give the Holder written notice of the occurrence thereof at least five business days prior to the consummation of the transaction which was approved by the shareholders of the Company.

 

(b)           Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or have been fully exercised, the Company shall issue, within such fifteen (15) day period, a new Warrant identical in all respects to the Warrant exercised except (x) such new Warrant shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under the warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such original Warrant was exercised, and (y) the Warrant Exercise Price thereof shall be, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price of the Warrant exercised.  The person in whose name any certificate for Warrant Shares is issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the amount due in respect of such exercise and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such share certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are properly closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Warrant Shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

 

  

  

  

3.             Termination of the Warrant.  This Warrant shall automatically terminate without exercise and shall be null and void on the earliest to occur of: (i) the Second Measurement Date, if the 2012 Gross Revenues of the Company equals or exceeds $31,150,000, or (ii) the occurrence of ten consecutive trading days after the First Measurement Date and prior to the Second Measurement Date, in which the closing trading price of the Common Stock is at least $1.75 per share, or (iii) upon the occurrence of a Qualified Change In Control.

 

4.             Covenants as to Common Stock.

 

(a)           The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and that the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price.

 

(b)           If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued to the Holder, then the Company covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

 

5.             Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Stock Splits, Dividends, Distributions and Combinations; and Adjustment of Number of Shares.

 

(a)           In case the Company shall at any time split or subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or issue a stock dividend (including any distribution of stock without consideration) or make a distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities payable in Common Stock or in Convertible Securities, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or stock dividend or distribution shall be proportionately reduced and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, in each case, by multiplying the then effective Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock, immediately after such subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, "on a fully diluted basis" means that all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, including all Convertible Securities, and all outstanding options and warrants, whether or not vested, shall be taken into account.

 

  

  

  

(b)           Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price as provided above in this Section 5, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth of a share) obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.

 

6.           Reorganization, Reclassification, Etc.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, in case of any capital reorganization, or of any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a split-up or combination) or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in the Common Stock being changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities or property of any other person), or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation, this Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, entitle the Holder hereof to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be made, as the case may be, to which the holder hereof would have been entitled if he had held the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, and, in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions thereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby.  The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger of the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the registered holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase.

 

7.           Notice of Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price.  Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, then the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Warrant Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment and the increase, or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at the Warrant Exercise Price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

 

  

  

  

8.             Computation of Adjustments.  Upon each computation of an adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be computed to the nearest cent (i.e. fraction of .5 of a cent, or greater, shall be rounded to the next highest cent) and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be calculated to the nearest whole share (i.e. fractions of less than one half of a share shall be disregarded and fractions of one half of a share, or greater, shall be treated as being a whole share).  No such adjustment shall be made however, if the change in the Warrant Exercise Price would be less than $.001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be made (i) at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments carried forward, shall amount to $.001 per share or more, or (ii) if earlier, upon the third anniversary of the event for which such adjustment is required.

 

9.             Net Issue Exercise.  Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Exercise Price at the date of exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of exercising the Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of the Warrant (or portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of the Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the duly executed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y(A - B)

 

A

 

WHERE X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;

 

Y = the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the number of shares underlying the Warrant to the extent exercised (at the date of such exercise);

 

A = the Market Price of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation); and

 

B = Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation).

 

10.           No Change in Warrant Terms on Adjustment.  Irrespective of any adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, this Warrant, whether theretofore or thereafter issued or reissued, may continue to express the same price and number of shares as are stated herein and the Warrant Exercise Price and such number of shares specified herein shall be deemed to have been so adjusted.

 

  

  

  

11.           Taxes.  The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares or any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder hereof or upon any transfer of this Warrant.

 

12.           Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder.  No holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance of record to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.

 

13.           No Limitation on Corporate Action.  No provisions of this Warrant and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way limit, affect or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Articles of Incorporation, reorganize, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, or to transfer all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise of any other of its corporate rights and powers.

 

14.           Transfer; Opinions of Counsel; Restrictive Legends.  To the extent applicable, each certificate or other document evidencing any of the Warrant Shares shall be endorsed with the legends set forth below, and Holder covenants that, except to the extent such restrictions are waived by the Company, Holder shall not transfer the Warrant Shares without complying with the restrictions on transfer described in the legends endorsed thereon;

 

(a)           The following legend under the Securities Act:

 

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

 

(b)           If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance or sale of the Warrant Shares, the legend required by such state authority.

 

(c)           The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books either this Warrant or any Warrant Shares which shall have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 14, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Warrant Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Warrant Shares shall have been so transferred.

 

  

  

  

(d)           Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 14 shall be removed (i) if the Warrant Shares represented by such certificate shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act or otherwise lawfully sold in a public transaction, or (ii) if the holder of such Warrant Shares shall have provided the Company with an opinion from counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that a public sale, transfer or assignment of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be made without registration.

 

(e)           Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 14 shall be removed if the Company receives an order of the appropriate state authority authorizing such removal or if the holder of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that such state legend may be removed.

 

(f)            Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant at any time other than to an affiliate of the Holder; provided, however, that such affiliate transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 14.  In addition, the Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant Shares unless:

 

(i)            There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

 

(ii)           Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Company, (A) Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of the Warrant or any Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and (B) the transferee shall have furnished to the Company its agreement to abide by the restrictions on transfer set forth herein as if it were a purchaser hereunder.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 14, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer by a Holder, (i) if it is a partnership or a corporation, to a partner or pro rata to its equity holder(s) of such Holder (or a third party duly authorized to act on behalf of such Holder or its partners or equity holders), or (ii) if he or she is an individual, to members of such individual's family for estate planning purposes; provided, however, that the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 14.

 

  

  

  

(h)           Upon delivery of the foregoing opinion of counsel (with respect to a transfer of the Warrant Shares) and the surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, together with (i) the assignment form annexed hereto as Exhibit B (the "Assignment Form") duly executed and (ii) funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, if it determines such transfer is permitted by the terms of this Warrant, without additional charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

 

15.           Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (except in the event of loss, theft, mutilation or destruction while this Warrant is in possession of the Company's Escrow Agent, in which events the Company shall be solely responsible) (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.  Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

 

16.           Representation of Holder.  The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, for its own account, for investment purposes, and not with a present view either to sell, distribute, or transfer, or to offer for sale, distribution, or transfer, any of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares, or any other securities issuable upon the exercise thereof.

 

17.           Restricted Securities.  The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, will not be registered at the time of their issuance under the Securities Act for the reason that the sale provided for in this Warrant is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act based on the representations of the Holder set forth herein.  The Warrant Holder represents that it is experienced in evaluating companies such as the Company, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and has the ability to suffer the total loss of the investment.  The Holder further represents that it has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrant, the business of the Company, and to obtain additional information to such Holder's satisfaction.  The Holder represents that it is an "Accredited Investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect.

 

18.           Notices.  All Notices, requests and other communications that the Holder or the Company is required or elects to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) upon personal delivery thereof, including by appropriate courier service, five (5) days after delivery to the courier or, if earlier, upon delivery against a signed receipt therefore or (b) upon transmission by facsimile or telecopier, which transmission is confirmed, in either case addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth below or at such other address as such party shall have notified the other parties hereto, by notice given in conformity with this Section 18.

INVESTOR REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

 

The undersigned makes the following representations, warranties and covenants with the intent that the same will be relied upon by the Company:

 

Section 2.1                Information.  The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has been offered the opportunity to obtain information, to verify the accuracy of the information received by him, her or it and to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment and to ask questions of and receive satisfactory answers concerning the terms and conditions of this investment.  The undersigned understands that information regarding the Company is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the undersigned has reviewed such documents and information as he, she or it has deemed necessary in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment being made hereby. The Company has made its officers available to the undersigned to answer questions concerning the Company and the investment being made hereby.  In making the decision to purchase the Note, the undersigned has relied and will rely solely upon independent investigations made by him, her or it.  The undersigned is not relying on the Company with respect to any tax or other economic considerations involved in this investment.  Other than as set forth in Article 3 hereof, no representations or warranties have been made to the undersigned by the Company.  To the extent the undersigned has deemed it appropriate, the undersigned has consulted with his, her or its own attorneys and other advisors with respect to all matters concerning this investment.

 

Section 2.2                Not a Registered Offering.  The undersigned understands that the Note (including any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) and the Warrants (and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) have not been and will not being registered with the SEC nor with the governmental entity charged with regulating the offer and sale of securities under the securities laws and regulations of the state of residence of the undersigned and are being offered and sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the 1933 Act by the SEC and limited exemptions provided in the “Blue Sky” laws of the state of residence of the undersigned, and that no governmental agency has recommended or endorsed the Note or the Warrants nor made any finding or determination relating to the fairness for investment of the Note (including any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) or the Warrants (including any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) or of the adequacy of the information on file with the SEC or this Subscription Agreement.  The undersigned is unaware of, and is in no way relying on, any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the offer and sale of the Note (including any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) or the Warrants (including any securities issuable upon conversion thereof).  The undersigned is purchasing the Note and Warrants without being furnished any offering or sales literature or prospectus.

 

Section 2.3                Purchase for Investment.  The undersigned is subscribing for the Note and the Warrants solely for his, her or its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to, or with any intention of, a distribution, sale or subdivision for the account of any other individual, corporation, firm, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, association or person. The undersigned represents that he, she or it understands that there is no public market for the Note or the Warrants and that no such market will ever exist.  The undersigned represents that if he, she, or it has received certain confidential information concerning a transaction by which it is contemplated that the Company may acquire another company, he, she, or it understands that such information is speculative in nature and that there is no guarantee that such possible acquisition transaction will be consummated, or, if consummated, will be successful or result in an increase in shareholder value.

 

  

  

  

Section 2.4                Accredited Investor and other Investment Representations.  The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act and that the undersigned has accurately completed the Accredited Investor Certification, which precedes the signature page to this Subscription Agreement.

 

Section 2.5                Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(a)           The undersigned understands and agrees that because the offer and sale of the Note and the Warrants subscribed for herein have not been registered under federal or state securities laws, the Note (including any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) and the Warrants (and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) acquired may not at any time be sold or otherwise disposed of by the undersigned unless it is registered under the 1933 Act or there is applicable to such sale or other disposition one of the exemptions from registration set forth in the 1933 Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and applicable state law.  The undersigned further understands that the Company has no obligation or present intention to register the Note (including any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) or the Warrants (and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof), or to permit its sale other than in strict compliance with the 1933 Act, SEC rules and regulations thereunder, and applicable state law.  The undersigned recognizes that, as a result of the aforementioned restrictions, there is no and will be no public market for the Note or the Warrants subscribed for hereunder.  The undersigned expects to hold the Note (and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) and the Warrants (and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) for an indefinite period and understands that the undersigned will not readily be able to liquidate this investment even in case of an emergency.

 

(b)           The Note (and the securities to be issued to the undersigned upon conversion thereof) and the Warrants (and any securities issuable upon conversion thereof) shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT (AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH IT IS CONVERTIBLE) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING THESE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

 

Section 2.6                      Investment Risks. The undersigned represents that he, she or it has read and understands all of the “Risk Factors” set forth in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q on file with the SEC.  Without limiting the foregoing, the undersigned has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Note.  The undersigned recognizes that the Company is a development stage company with an extremely limited financial and operating history, that the development of medical devices is difficult, time consuming, and expensive, and that an investment in the Company involves very significant risks.  The undersigned further recognizes that (A) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, (B) an investor may not be able to liquidate his, her or its investment, (C) transferability of the Note is extremely limited, (D) in the event of a disposition, the investor could sustain a loss of his, her or its entire investment, and (E) the Company intends to continue to raise additional funds in the near future through the sale of equity, and that any such sale below the conversion events set forth in the Note may be on terms to investors that are more favorable than the terms to the undersigned.  The undersigned is capable of bearing the economic risks of an investment in the Note and the Warrants, including, but not limited to, the possibility of a complete loss of the undersigned’s investment, as well as limitations on the transferability of the Note and the Warrants, which may make the liquidation of an investment in the Note and the Warrants difficult or impossible for the indefinite future.  The undersigned acknowledges that legal advice has been provided to the Company by Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, and that such law firm has neither provided advice to the Subscriber nor performed any due diligence on the Subscriber’s behalf.  The undersigned acknowledges that he, she or it has been advised to seek his, her or its own independent counsel from attorneys, accountants and other advisors with respect to an investment in this offering.

 

  

  

  

Section 2.7                Residence.  The undersigned, if a natural person, is a bona fide resident of the state set forth in his or her address on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement.  The undersigned, if an entity, has its principal place of business at the mailing address set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement.

The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Article 2 shall survive the date hereof.  Any information that the undersigned is furnishing to the Company in this Subscription Agreement is correct and complete as of the date of this Subscription Agreement and if there should be any material change in such information prior to his, her or its admission as a shareholder of the Company, the undersigned will immediately furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company.

 

Section 2.9                Due Organization.  If the undersigned is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, the undersigned is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as currently being conducted, to enter into this Subscription Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

If the undersigned is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, the execution, delivery and performance by the undersigned of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the undersigned.

Section 2.12              Enforceability.  This Subscription Agreement will be, upon its execution and delivery, a valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 2.13              No Conflicts.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the undersigned of this Subscription Agreement, nor the consummation by the undersigned of the transactions contemplated hereby will (A) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the undersigned’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents, (B) cause a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument or obligation to which the undersigned is a party or (C) violate any law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, administrative agency or governmental body, in each case applicable to the undersigned or its properties or assets.

 

Section 2.14              No Approvals.  No filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any person (governmental or private) is necessary for the consummation by the undersigned of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

 

Section 2.15              Brokerage Commissions and Finders’ Fees.

WHEREAS, the Company has issued to Lender that certain 5% Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note (Series $2.5 Million 2011) of even date herewith (the “Note”), in connection with which the Company wishes to grant certain registration rights to the Lender;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1.               Certain Definitions.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

“Affiliate” means any Person that directly or indirectly is controlled by or is under common control with the Lender.

“Blue Sky Application” has the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 4(a) hereof.

“Commission” means the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

“Common Stock” means the common stock of the Company and any other securities into which or for which any of the common stock of the Company may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, plan of recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other similar transaction.

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any similar or successor federal statute, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect from time to time.

“Forms S-1 and S-3” means Forms S-1 and S-3, as the case may be, promulgated under the Securities Act and as in effect on the date hereof or any similar or successor forms promulgated under the Securities Act or adopted by the Commission.

“Offering” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Preamble hereto.

 “Person” means an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or unincorporated organization, or a government or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

Section 2.              “Piggy-Back” Registrations.

(a)           If the Company at any time after, and no earlier than, the occurrence of a Voluntary Conversion (as defined in the Note) at a time when its equity securities are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, proposes to register under the Securities Act any of its securities, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or any successor to such forms or another form not available for registering the Registrable Shares for sale to the public or any registration statement including only securities issued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), each such time it will promptly give written notice to all holders of Registrable Shares of its intention so to do.  Upon the written request of any such holder, received by the Company within 20 days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any or all of its Registrable Shares, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Shares as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the holder (in accordance with its written request) of such Registrable Shares so registered.  The Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement only such limited portion of Registrable Shares with respect to which such holder has requested inclusion hereunder.

(b)           If the registration of which the Company gives notice as provided above is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the holders of Registrable Shares as a part of the written notice given pursuant to this Section 2.  In such event the right of any holder of Registrable Shares to registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All holders of Registrable Shares proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the shares of Common Stock to be registered by the Company and shares of Common Stock held by Persons who by virtue of agreements with the Company are entitled to include shares in such registration) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by the Company.  If any holder of Registrable Shares disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, that holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by timely written notice to the Company and the underwriter.  Any Registrable Shares or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten or if the Commission imposes such a limitation, such limitation will be imposed pro rata with respect to all securities whose holders have a contractual, incidental (“Piggy-Back”) right to include such securities in the registration statement and as to which inclusion has been requested pursuant to such right, provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the number of securities held by holders of Registrable Shares proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting if any securities are to be included in such underwriting for the account of any Person other than the Company or holders of Registrable Shares other than a holder exercising a demand or required registration right.

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 2 without thereby incurring any liability to the holders of Registrable Shares.

Section 3.              Expiration of Obligations. The obligations of the Company to register Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall expire on the first to occur of (i) the date when the holder of such shares shall be able to sell its Registrable Shares under Rule 144, or (ii) when no Registrable Shares are outstanding.

Section 4.              Indemnification; Procedures; Contribution.

(a)           In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act in accordance with this Agreement, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each holder and each underwriter of the Registrable Shares (including their officers, directors, affiliates and partners) so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom such shares may be sold) and each Person, if any, who controls such holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them become subject under the Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse each such holder, each such underwriter and each such controlling Person, if any, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them or any of them in connection with investigating or defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement, any filing with any state or federal securities commission or agency or any prospectus, offering circular or other document created or approved by the Company incident to such registration (including any related notification, registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof), (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Shares under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”), (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state in any such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement or in any Blue Sky Application executed or filed by the Company, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration, or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Shares in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company (the undertaking of any underwriter chosen by the Company being attributed to the Company) will undertake such registration or qualification (provided that in such instance the Company shall not be so liable if it has used its  commercially reasonable efforts to so register or qualify the Registrable Shares) and will reimburse each such holder, and such officer, director and partner, each such underwriter and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, promptly after being so incurred, provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case (i) if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with written information furnished by any holder, any underwriter or any controlling Person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, or (ii) in the case of a sale directly by such holder of Registrable Shares (including a sale of such Registrable Shares through any underwriter retained by such holder of Registrable Shares to engage in a distribution solely on behalf of such holder of Registrable Shares), such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final or amended prospectus, and such holder of Registrable Shares failed to deliver a copy of the final or amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of Registrable Shares to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

(b)           In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, each seller of such Registrable Shares thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each other seller of Registrable Shares, each underwriter and each Person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, other seller, underwriter or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, solely insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any prospectus offering circular or other document incident to such registration (including any related notification, registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof), or any Blue Sky Application or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, other seller, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, promptly after being so incurred, provided, however, that such seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; and provided, further, that the liability of each seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of all securities sold by such seller under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 4(e), the indemnification obligations of any seller hereunder pursuant to any underwriting agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be limited to the obligations contained in this subparagraph (b).

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 4 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 4 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission.  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.  No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or action, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or action, and the indemnification agreements contained in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) shall not apply to any settlement entered into in violation of this sentence.  Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d)           In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of Registrable Shares exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 4 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling holder or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4, then, and in each such case, the Company and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Shares offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, and the Company is responsible for the remaining portion, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such holder of Registrable Shares will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the proceeds received from the sale of all such Registrable Shares offered by it pursuant to such registration statement and (B) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(f)           The indemnities and obligations provided in this Section 4 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares and the transfer of any Registrable Shares by such holder.

Section 5.              Exchange Act Registration and Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Shares to the public without registration, at all times after 180 days after (i) any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, or (ii) the Company’s equity securities shall have been registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a)           Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the date the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

(b)           File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;

(c)           Furnish to each holder of Registrable Shares forthwith upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and, at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements, of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies), (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and (C) such other information, reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such holder to sell any Registrable Shares without registration; and

  

- 5 -

  

(d)           Make available to the Lender the same services with regard to customary Rule 144 legal opinions as it provides to its affiliates.

Section 6.              Registration Procedures.

(a)           If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(i)   Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such securities including executing an undertaking to file post-effective amendments and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby;

(ii)   Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for the period specified herein and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement in accordance with the sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;

(iii)  Furnish to each seller of Registrable Shares and to each underwriter such number of copies of the registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits) and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such Persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement;

(iv) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Registrable Shares or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter reasonably shall request, provided that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction;

(v)   Use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

(vi)  Use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Act and Exchange Act;

(vii) Immediately notify each seller of Registrable Shares and each underwriter under such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

  

- 6 -

  

(viii) If the offering is underwritten and at the request of any seller of Registrable Shares, furnish on the date that Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration (i) an opinion, in customary form and dated the effective date of the registration statement, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters to such effect as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters and copies of such opinion addressed to the sellers of Registrable Shares and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants retained by the Company, addressed to the underwriters  stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included 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 such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending no more than five business days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to such registration as such underwriters reasonably may request;

(ix)    Upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours, make available for inspection by each seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such seller or underwriter, reasonable access to all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as such parties may reasonably request, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

(x)     Cooperate with the selling holders of Registrable Shares and the managing underwriter, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Shares to be sold, such certificates to be in such denominations and registered in such names as such holders or the managing underwriter may request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registrable Shares; and

(xi)    Permit any holder of Registrable Shares which holder, in the sole and exclusive judgment, exercised in good faith, of such holder, might be deemed to be a controlling Person of the Company, to participate in good faith in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included.

(b)           For purposes of this Agreement, the period of distribution of Registrable Shares in a firm commitment underwritten public offering shall be deemed to extend until each underwriter has completed the distribution of all securities purchased by it, and the period of distribution of Registrable Shares in any other registration shall be deemed to extend until the earlier of the sale of all Registrable Shares covered thereby or 180 days after the effective date thereof, provided, however, in the case of any registration of Registrable Shares on Form S-3 or a comparable or successor form which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 180 day-period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Shares are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor or similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act, permits the offering to be conducted on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment, permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (y) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (z) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (y) and (z) above contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement.

(c)           Whenever under the preceding Sections of this Agreement the holders of Registrable Shares are registering such shares pursuant to any registration statement, each such holder agrees to (i) timely provide in writing to the Company, at its request, such information and materials as the Company may reasonably request in order to effect the registration of such Registrable Shares in compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws, and (ii) provide the Company with appropriate representations with respect to the accuracy of such information provided by such Sellers pursuant to subsection (i).

Section 8.              Delay of Registration.  For a period not to exceed 180 days, the Company shall not be obligated to prepare and file, or be prevented from delaying or abandoning, a registration statement pursuant to this Agreement at any time when the Company furnishes to holders of Registrable Shares that have requested to have such Registrable Shares included in a registration statement covered by the terms of this Agreement a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company the filing thereof at the time requested, or the offering of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto, would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders, or materially and adversely affect (a) a pending or scheduled public offering of the Company’s securities, (b) an acquisition, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction by or of the Company, (c) pre-existing and continuing negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect to any of the foregoing transactions, or (d) the financial condition of the Company in view of the disclosure of any pending or threatened litigation, claim, assessment or governmental investigation which may be required thereby, and that the failure to disclose any material information with respect to the foregoing would cause a violation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Section 9.              Conditions to Registration Obligations.  The Company shall not be obligated to effect the registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement unless all holders of shares being registered consent to reasonable conditions imposed by the Company as the Company shall determine with the advice of counsel to be required by law including, without limitation:

(a)            Conditions prohibiting the sale of shares by such holders until the registration shall have been effective for a specified period of time;

(b)            Conditions requiring such holder to comply with all prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and with all anti-stabilization, anti-manipulation and similar provisions of Section 10 of the Exchange Act and any rules issued thereunder by the Commission, and to furnish to the Company information about sales made in such public offering;

(c)            Conditions prohibiting such holders upon receipt of telegraphic or written notice from the Company (until further notice) from effecting sales of shares, such notice being given to permit the Company to correct or update a registration statement or prospectus;

(d)            Conditions requiring that at the end of the period during which the Company is obligated to keep the registration statement effective, the holders of shares included in the registration statement shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to such registration statement upon receipt of notice form the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered by such registration statement that remain unsold, and requiring such holders to notify the Company of the number of shares registered that remain unsold immediately upon receipt of notice from the Company; and

(a)            No failure or delay on the part of any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder.

Any waiver or consent may be given subject to satisfaction of conditions stated therein and any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended to add new parties and/or Registrable Shares the Company consents thereto and any new party executes and delivers to the Company a copy of the signature page hereto.

(k)            No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing among the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of the party.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder.
