Exhibit 10.1

 

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

 

This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 20, 2011 (the “Execution Date”), by and among Quepasa Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers listed on Schedule A (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchasers desire to purchase from the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”);

 

            WHEREAS, to induce the Purchasers to enter into this Agreement, the Company has agreed to enter into that certain Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers on or before the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon exemption from securities registration afforded by Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Agreement to Purchase and Sell Stock.

 

(a) Company Authorization.  The Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has authorized the issuance and sale of the Shares, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock are as set forth on the Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Designation”).

 

(b) Agreement to Purchase and Sell Securities.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Purchasers agrees (severally and not jointly) to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell to each such Purchaser, at the Closing (as defined below), that number of Shares set forth opposite the Purchaser’s name on Schedule A.  The aggregate purchase price of the Shares is $5,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) and shall be payable by the Purchasers as set forth on Schedule A. Each Share will be convertible, at any time at the election of the relevant Purchaser, into that number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) equal to $5.00 divided by the Conversion Price (as defined below).  Subject to Section 7(q) and any other adjustments called for under the Certificate of Designation, the “Conversion Price” of the Shares shall be 85% of the Reference Price (as defined below). Notwithstanding the preceding, the Shares will not be convertible until such time as the shares of Common Stock underlying the Shares (the “Underlying Shares”) are listed on the NYSE Amex.

The “Reference Price” means: (i) if the proposed merger between Insider Guides, Inc. and the Company (the “Merger”) has not closed at the time of conversion, the lower of: (A) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Execution Date; or (B) the volume weighted average price during the 20 trading days ending with the Execution Date (the lower of (i)(A) or (i)(B), the “Execution Date Reference Price”); and (ii) if the Merger has closed, the lowest of: (A) the closing price of the Common Stock on the closing date of the Merger; (B) the volume weighted average price during the 20 trading days ending with the date of the closing of the Merger; or (C) the Execution Date Reference Price.

 

The Company agrees to cause the Underlying Shares to be listed with the NYSE Amex as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than 60 calendar days following the Closing Date.  If the Company fails to list the Underlying Shares with the NYSE Amex within the required time in the preceding sentence, the Purchaser will be entitled to a refund on the Underlying Shares which were not listed.  Notwithstanding the preceding, to the extent the number of Underlying Shares increases at the closing of the Merger as a result of the Reference Price being lower than the Execution Date Reference Price, the Company shall have an additional 30 calendar days following the closing of Merger to list any such additional Underlying Shares.

 

 (c) Use of Proceeds.  The Company intends to apply the net proceeds for working capital, capital expenditures, and general corporate purposes as determined by the Company from time to time. In addition, if the Company closes the Merger, part or all of the proceeds will used as merger consideration.

 

2. Closing.  

 

(a)           The purchase and sale of the Shares will occur in one closing, which shall take place at the offices of Harris Cramer LLP, 3507 Kyoto Gardens Drive, Suite 320, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410, not later than two (2) Business Days (as defined below) following the Execution Date, or at such other time and place as the Company and Purchaser mutually agree upon (which time and place are referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing”).  On or prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company (i) full payment for the Shares sold hereunder by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (ii) this Agreement duly executed by the Purchaser.  The Company shall issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser one or more stock certificates registered in the name of the Purchaser (or in such nominee name(s) as designated by the Purchaser in the Registration Statement/Suitability Questionnaire, attached hereto as Appendix I) representing the number of Shares and bearing the legend set forth in Section 4(j)(i) herein.  Closing documents, other than the stock certificates representing the Shares, may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission on the Closing Date, with original signature pages sent by overnight courier.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Date” means the date of the Closing, and “Business Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day which shall be a federal legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.

3. Representations, Warranties and Certain Agreements of the Company.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to each of the Purchasers that, except as set forth in the SEC Documents (as defined below):

 

(a) Organization Good Standing and Qualification.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has all corporate power and authority required to (i) own, operate and occupy its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and (ii) enter into this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on, or a material adverse change in, or a group of such effects on or changes in, the business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiaries (as defined below), taken as a whole. Provided, however, a Material Adverse Effect does not exist solely because (i) there are changes in the economy or capital markets or (ii) changes generally affecting the industry in which the Company operates which changes in clauses (i) or (ii) do not disproportionately affect the Company in contrast to its competitors. 

 

(b) Capitalization.  The capitalization of the Company is as follows:

 

(i) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.

The shares of issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have not been issued in violation of or are not otherwise subject to any preemptive or other similar rights.

 

(iii) As of September 12, 2011, the Company had (1) 7,561,760 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options granted under the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) and (2) 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants.

 

(iv) As of September 12, 2011, the Company had 2,051,749 shares of Common Stock available for future grant under the Stock Incentive Plan.

(v) With the exception of the foregoing in this Section 3(b), any securities issuable pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments on the securities included in this Section 3(b), there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities or other rights granted to or by the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company and there are no commitments, plans or arrangements to issue any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, except as disclosed in the Form S-4 filed on August 26, 2011.

 

(c) Subsidiaries.  All subsidiaries of the Company are set forth in the SEC Documents (such entities, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), and except for the Subsidiaries the Company does not own any capital stock of, assets comprising the business of, obligations of, or any other interest (including any equity or partnership interest) in, any person or entity.  Each of the Subsidiaries is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.  Each of the Subsidiaries has full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is registered or qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or transacts business and where the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d) Due Authorization.  Except as provided on Schedule 3(d), all corporate actions on the part of the Company necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery of, and the performance of all obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and any other documents or agreements executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (the “Transaction Documents”), including the authorization, issuance, reservation for issuance and delivery of all the Shares and the Underlying Shares, have been taken and no further consent or authorization of the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders is required, and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies and (ii) as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited under federal or state securities laws or by principles of public policy thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth on Schedule 3(d)), the issuance of the Shares, and the issuance of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Shares, will not require the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether under any rule or regulation of the NYSE Amex or otherwise.

 

(e) Valid Issuance of the Shares.  The Shares, upon payment therefor by the Purchasers in accordance with this Agreement, and the Underlying Shares, when issued upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designation, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear from all taxes and liens, claims and encumbrances imposed by the Company, other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or similar rights.

(g) Governmental Consents.  Except as provided on Schedule 3(g), no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any federal, state or local governmental authority or self regulatory agency on the part of the Company is required in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares, or the issuance of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Shares, to the Purchasers by the Company or the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (i) such filings as have been made prior to the date hereof and (ii) such additional post-Closing filings as may be required to comply with applicable state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, the filing of a Form D relating to the sale of the Shares pursuant to Regulation D.

 

(h) Non-Contravention.  Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers in Section 4 hereof, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the issuance of the Shares and the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Shares), do not:  (i) contravene or conflict with the articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) or bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”) of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; (ii) constitute a violation of any provision of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation, order or decree applicable to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; or (iii) constitute a default or require any consent under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of, or to a loss of any material benefit to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is entitled under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim or encumbrance on any asset of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries under, any material contract to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or any material permit, license or similar right relating to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries may be bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for such violations, breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as provided on Schedule 3(i), there is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation (“Action”) pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened:  (i) against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, their activities, properties or assets, or, to the Company’s knowledge, against any officer, director or employee of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries in connection with such officer’s, director’s or employee’s relationship with, or actions taken on behalf of, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) that seeks to prevent, enjoin, adversely alter, challenge or delay the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  The Company is not a party to nor subject to the provisions of, any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality that could reasonably be expected to prevent, enjoin, adversely alter, challenge or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Action is currently pending nor does the Company currently intend to initiate any Action that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is in default (and there exists no condition which, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a default) in any material respect in the performance of any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is bound or by which the properties of the Company are bound, which default has not been waived and would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Due Authorization.  All corporate, limited liability company, partnership, trust or individual, as the case may be, action on the part of the Purchaser necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery of and the performance of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and all obligations of the Purchaser under the Transaction Documents have been taken and no further consent or authorization of the Purchaser or its board of directors, stockholders, members, or partners, as the case may be, is necessary, and each Transaction Document, when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the Purchaser’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as may be limited by (1) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (2) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies and (ii) as rights to indemnity or contribution may be limited under federal or state securities laws or by principles of public policy thereunder.

 

(c) Litigation.  There is no Action pending to which the Purchaser is a party that is reasonably likely to prevent, enjoin, adversely alter or delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Shares are being acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, in the ordinary course of business, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.  The Purchaser also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.  The Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, direct or indirect, with any other Person to sell or otherwise distribute the Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge the Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

 

  

11

  

 

(e) Investment Experience.  The Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Shares involves substantial risk.  The Purchaser has experience as an investor in securities of companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.  The Purchaser represents that (i) it is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time, and (ii) it has no need for liquidity in such investment.

 

(f) Accredited Purchaser Status.  The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D for one of the reasons on the attached Schedule 4(f).

 

(g) Reliance Upon Purchaser’s Representations.  The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Shares to it will not be registered under the Securities Act on the ground that such offer and sale will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is based on the Purchaser’s representations set forth herein.

 

(h) Receipt of Information.  The Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the SEC Documents and has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the sale of the Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.  The Purchaser further acknowledges that pursuant to Section 517.061(11)(a)(3), Florida Statutes and Rule 3E-5090.05(a) thereunder, the Purchaser has had an opportunity to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possesses such information and could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to the Purchaser or to which the Purchaser had access and has received and considered all information it deems relevant to make an informed decision to purchase the Shares.  Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of such information and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

 

(i) Restricted Securities and Restrictions on Transfer.

 

(i) The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and the Purchaser agrees that it will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the Shares (except as permitted in Section 4(j) below) unless (1) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (2) the Purchaser provides a reasonably acceptable legal opinion to the Company, or the Purchaser requests the Company to have the Company’s legal counsel (at the Company’s expense) provide a legal opinion, to the effect that a sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act and the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (3) the Purchaser provides the Company a “no action” letter from the SEC to the effect that the transfer of the Shares without registration will not result in a recommendation by the Staff of the SEC that enforcement action by taken with respect thereto, (4) the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances (which the Company agrees need not include a legal opinion, but may include seller or broker representation letters, if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent) that the Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), or (5) pursuant to any other exemption contained in the Securities Act provided that the Purchaser provides a reasonably acceptable legal opinion to the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser may transfer the Shares or the Underlying Shares to its Affiliates provided that (x) such Affiliate is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D and (y) each such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in particular, confirms to the Company that all of the representations set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement are true and correct as to such Affiliate as of the date of the transfer to such Affiliate.

 

  

12

  

 

(ii) Prior to any proposed transfer pursuant to clause (2), (3), (4) or (5) in Section 4(i) above, the Purchaser shall give written notice to the Company of the Purchaser’s intention to effect such transfer.  Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer in sufficient detail, and shall be accompanied by any legal opinion, “no action” letter or seller and broker representation letters as may be required under Section 4(i) above.

 

 

 

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(i), no registration statement, legal opinion or “no action” letter shall be necessary for a transfer of the Shares (1) by a Purchaser that is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date of this Agreement, (2) by a Purchaser that is a limited liability company to a member of such limited liability company, (3) by a Purchaser that is a partnership or limited liability company to the estate of any partner, retired partner, or member thereof or (4) by any partner or member of a Purchaser that is a partnership or limited liability company by gift, will or intestate succession to such partner or member’s spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants, ancestors of such partner or member or his or her spouse.

 

(j) Legends.

 

(i) The Purchaser agrees that, to the extent necessary, the certificates representing the Shares shall bear substantially the following legend:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, AND AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT.”

 

  

13

  

 

(ii) Certificates evidencing the Shares or the Underlying Shares shall not contain the legend set forth in Section 4(j)(i)(1) while a registration statement  covering the resale of the Underlying Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (2) following any sale of such Shares or Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or (3) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC).  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective (the “Effective Date”) if such legal opinion is required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4(i) or this Section 4(j).

 

(iii) The Purchaser will offer and sell any and all Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to all applicable federal and state securities laws, including pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Shares as set forth in this Section 4(j) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance on the Purchaser’s representations and contained herein.

 

(iv) In addition, the Purchaser agrees that the Company may place stop transfer orders with its transfer agent with respect to such certificates in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement.  The appropriate portion of the legend and the stop transfer orders will be removed promptly upon delivery to the Company of such satisfactory evidence as reasonably may be required by the Company that such legend or stop transfer orders are not required to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.

 

(k) Questionnaires.  The Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Questionnaire, attached as Appendix I hereto, and the answers to the questionnaire are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement.

 

  

14

  

 

(l) Restrictions on Short Sales.  Neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of the Purchaser which (i) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) has or shares discretion relating to the Purchaser’s investments or trading or information concerning the Purchaser’s investments, including in respect of the Shares, or (iii) is subject to the Purchaser’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading, has engaged or will engage, directly or indirectly, during the period beginning on the date the Purchaser and the Company began discussions regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement until the time of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K required by Section 7(m), in any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that transfer to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequences or ownership of any of the Shares by the Purchaser.

 

(m) Independent Investment.  The Purchaser has not agreed to act with any other party for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of any of the Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Shares.

 

(n) General Solicitation.  The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares were not offered to the Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including  (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communication, or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

The foregoing agreements shall not apply to any information that (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Purchaser, (ii) was already known to the Purchaser prior to its disclosure by the Company or any of its Affiliates to the Purchaser, as evidenced by documentation or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company, (iii) is or becomes available to the Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its Affiliates (so long as the Purchaser is not aware such disclosure is in breach of a confidentiality obligation to the Company), (iv) is independently developed by the Purchaser’s personnel without access to or use of the confidential information received from the Company or any of its Affiliates, as evidenced by documentation or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company or (v) is legally required to be disclosed by the Purchaser under operation of law or judicial or other governmental order; provided, however, that if the Purchaser is requested or ordered to disclose any such information pursuant to any court or other governmental order or any other applicable legal procedure, it shall provide the Company with reasonably prompt notice of any such request or order to enable the Company to seek an appropriate protective order and shall provide the Company with reasonable assistance in obtaining such protective order at the Company’s sole expense.  Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, the Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

(h) Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision will be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement will be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and will be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(i) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Transaction Documents, together with all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

 

(j) Further Assurances.  From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Company or any Purchaser, the Company and the Purchasers will execute and deliver such instruments, documents or other writings, and take such other actions, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

 

(k) Meaning of Include and Including.  Whenever in this Agreement the word “include” or “including” is used, it shall be deemed to mean “include, without limitation” or “including, without limitation,” as the case may be, and the language following “include” or “including” shall not be deemed to set forth an exhaustive list.

 

  

19

  

 

(l) Fees, Costs and Expenses.  All fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by any party hereto in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Transaction Documents and the exhibits and schedules hereto or thereto and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the costs associated with any filings with, or compliance with any of the requirements of any governmental authorities), shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of such party.

 

(m) 8-K Filing and Publicity.  As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than the fourth day following the Execution Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and attaching this Agreement and the press release referred to below as exhibits to such filing (the “8-K Filing” including all attachments).  Neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior approval of the other party; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Purchaser, to issue any press release or make any other public disclosure (including a press release (concerning the offering of the Shares) pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act) with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and (ii) as is required by applicable laws and regulations; and, provided, further, that no such release may identify a Purchaser unless the Purchaser has consented thereto in writing, or as required by law.

 

(n) Waivers.  No waiver by any party to this Agreement of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter.

 

(o) Stock Splits, Dividends and other Similar Events.  The provisions of this Agreement including the Conversion Price and the Reference Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, reorganization or other similar event that may occur with respect to the Company after the date hereof.

 

(p) Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and without precluding any other remedy permitted hereunder or under applicable law), if the issuance of the Shares or the issuance of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Shares require the approval of the Company’s stockholders, whether under any rule or regulation of the NYSE Amex or otherwise, each Purchaser will be entitled to rescind its purchase of the Shares and receive a full refund of the Purchase Price.

 

  

20

  

 

(q)           Registration Rights.   As provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement, within 60 days from the Execution Date, the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 or such other form as may be appropriate in order to permit the Purchaser to publicly sell the Common Stock (the “Registration Statement”).  If the Company fails to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days of the Execution Date, or if the Investor is required to discontinue its sale of Registrable Securities under Section 4(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement for a period of more than 30 days, the Conversion Price of the Shares shall be reduced by 5% of the Reference Price (as adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Price may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations or other similar events), and will continue to be reduced by 5% of the Reference Price (as so adjusted) every 30 days thereafter (so that after the first such reduction, the Conversion Price shall be reduced from 85% of the Reference Price to 80% of the Reference Price, and after the second such reduction, the Conversion Price shall be reduced from 80% of the Reference Price to 75% of the Reference Price, and so on) until the Registration Statement is declared effective or the Investor is able to resume sales.  Provided, however, the Conversion Price shall not be reduced by operation of the foregoing to less than 45% of the Reference Price (as adjusted).

 

(r)           Maximum Conversion.  In no event shall a Purchaser be entitled to convert its Shares into Common Stock if (but only to the extent that) at the time of conversion, that Purchaser would beneficially own more than 9.99% (the “Threshold”) of the Common Stock as a result of that conversion.  For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.  Each Purchaser may increase the Threshold applicable to it upon prior written notice to the Company; provided, however that any such increase will only be effective 61 days after the date of such notice.

4.           Other Procedures.

(a)            Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 4(a) and the Company’s general obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts under Section 3, the Company shall be required to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement until the earlier of (i) the sale of all Registrable Securities, or (ii) 24 months from the date of this Agreement. Provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file any
post-effective amendment to any registration statement or file any prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act beginning six months from the date of this Agreement unless and until the Company fails to file with the Commission a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K within the time required by the rules of the Commission including Rule 12b-25 (or any successor rule).  The Company shall have no liability to the Investor for delays in the Investor being able to sell the Registrable Securities (i) as long as the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement, amendments to a registration statement, post-effective amendments to a registration statement or supplements to a prospectus contained in a registration statement (including any amendment or post effective amendments), (ii) where the required financial statements or auditor’s
consents are unavailable or (iii) where the Company would be required to disclose information at a time when it has no duty to disclose such information under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

(b)           In consideration of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, the Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) herein, the Investor shall forthwith discontinue his sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by said Section 3(e).

 

(c)            The Company’s obligation to file any registration statement or amendment including a post-effective amendment, shall be subject to the Investor furnishing to the Company in writing such information and documents regarding such Investor and the distribution of such Investor’s Registrable Securities as may reasonably be required to be disclosed in the registration statement in question by the rules and regulations under the Securities Act or under any other applicable securities or blue sky laws.  The Company’s obligations are also subject to the Investor promptly executing a reasonable
representation letter concerning compliance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation). If the Investor fails to provide all of the information required by this Section 4(c), the Company shall have no obligation to include its Registrable Securities in a registration statement or it may withdraw such Investor’s Registrable Securities from the registration statement without incurring any penalty or otherwise incurring liability to the Investor.

(d)           If any such registration or comparable statement refers to the Investor by name or otherwise as a stockholder of the Company, but such reference to the Investor by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or the rules thereunder, then the Investor shall have the right to require the deletion of the reference to the Investor, as may be applicable.

(e)           In connection with the sale of Registrable Securities, the Investor shall (if required by law) deliver to each purchaser a copy of any necessary prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement, within the time required by Section 5(b) of the Securities Act.

 

5.           Registration Expenses.  In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall, whether or not any such registration shall become effective, from time to time, pay all expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incident to its performance of or compliance, including, without limitation, all registration, and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, word processing, printing and copying expenses,
messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent public accountants and other Persons retained by the Company.

6.           Indemnification.

(a)           The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which each Investor may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(d) herein, 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 or, with respect to any prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or state securities or blue sky laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration or qualification under the Securities Act or such state securities or blue sky laws.  If the Company fails to defend the Investor as required by
Section 6(c) herein, it shall reimburse (after receipt of appropriate documentation) each Investor for any legal or any other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to an Investor in any such case 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 said registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said prospectus, or said amendment or supplement or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(d)
hereof in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor specifically for use in the preparation thereof or information omitted to be furnished by such Investor.

(b)           Each Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6(a)) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signs such registration statement, the Company’s auditors and attorneys, and any Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to (i) any untrue statement or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement or (ii) from any other act or failure to act by the Investor.

 

  

5

  

 

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in Section 6(a) or (b), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action.  The indemnifying party shall be relieved of its obligations under this Section 6(c) to the extent that the indemnified party delays in giving notice and the indemnifying party is materially damaged or prejudiced by the delay.  In case any
such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so as to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that, if counsel for an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between the indemnified and the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have
the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person controlling such indemnified party for the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnification by an Investor under this Section 6 exceed the net proceeds from the sale of Registrable Securities received by the Investor.  No indemnified party shall make any settlement of any claims indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In the event that any indemnifying party enters
into any settlement without the written consent of the indemnified party the indemnifying party shall not 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 of a release of such indemnified party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d)           In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which under any indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, 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 6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the
Securities Act may be required in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6; then, in each such case, the Company and such Investor shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Investor in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, it being understood that the parties acknowledge that the overriding equitable consideration to be given effect in connection with this provision is the ability of one party or the other to correct the statement or omission (or avoid the conduct or take an act) which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, and that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were to be determined by pro-rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into consideration the foregoing equitable considerations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no such Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds to him of all Registrable Securities sold by him pursuant to such registration statement, and (ii) no Person who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

  

6

  

 

(e)           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if, in connection with an underwritten public offering of the Registrable Securities, the Company, the Investor and the underwriters enter into an underwriting agreement relating to such offering which contains provisions covering indemnification among the parties, then the indemnification provision of this Section 6 shall be deemed inoperative for purposes of such offering.

(f)           Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the indemnified party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.

7.           Rule 144.  For two years from the date of this Agreement, the Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, in the event that the Company is not required to file such reports, it will make publicly available information as set forth in Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act), and it will take such further
action as the Investor may reasonably request, or to the extent required from time to time to enable the Investor to sell their Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission (collectively, “Rule 144”).

8.           Severability.  In the event any parts of this Agreement are found to be void, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding with the same effect as though the void parts were deleted.

9.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The execution of this Agreement may be by actual or facsimile signature.

10.           Benefit.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their legal representatives, successors and assigns.

11.           Notices and Addresses.  All notices, offers, acceptance and any other acts under this Agreement (except payment) shall be in writing, and shall be sufficiently given if delivered to the addressees in person, by FedEx or similar overnight next business day delivery, or by facsimile delivery followed by overnight next business day delivery, as follows:
