Exhibit 10.1

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE PROMISSORY NOTE dated as of July 14, 2011 (this “Amendment”), among PHYTOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC, a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”) and JEET SIDHU (“Holder”).

WHEREAS, on May 20, 2011, the Borrower issued to the Holder a Restated 8 1⁄2 % Convertible Promissory Note dated May 20, 2011 in the original principal amount of $100,000 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Note”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Holder has agreed, to amend the Note as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, notwithstanding any provisions of the Promissory Note to the contrary, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.           Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Note are hereby deleted in their entirety and the following substituted in lieu thereof:

“2.4           Certain Adjustments. The number and class or series of shares into which this Note may be converted under Section 2 shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the following provisions. For the purposes of this Section 2.4, the term Conversion Price shall mean the Conversion Price per share set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

(a)           Adjustment for Reorganization or Recapitalization. If, while this Note remains outstanding and has not been converted, there shall be a reorganization or recapitalization of the Borrower (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), all necessary or appropriate lawful provisions shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Note, the greatest number of shares of stock or other securities or property that a holder of the class of securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization or recapitalization if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such reorganization or recapitalization, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 2.4. If the per share consideration payable to the Holder for such class of securities in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower’s Board of Directors. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations or recapitalizations and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the conversion of this Note. In all events, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Note (including adjustment of the conversion price and number of shares into which this Note is then convertible pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note) with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Note shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable or issuable after such reorganization or recapitalization upon conversion of this Note.

(b)           Adjustments for Split Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Borrower at any time while this Note remains outstanding and unconverted, shall split or subdivide any class of securities into which this Note may be converted into a different number of securities of the same class, the number of shares of such class issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such split or subdivision shall be proportionately increased and the conversion price for such class of securities shall be proportionately decreased. If the Borrower at any time while this Note, or any portion hereof, remains outstanding and unconverted shall combine any class of securities into which this Note may be converted, into a different number of securities of the same class, the number of shares of such class issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased and the conversion price for such class of securities shall be proportionately increased.

 

  

  

  

(c)           Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If, while this Note remains outstanding and unconverted, the holders of any class of securities as to which conversion rights under this Note exist at the time shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Borrower by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Note shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of shares of such class of security receivable upon conversion of this Note, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) of the Borrower that such holder would hold on the date of such conversion had it been the holder of record of the class of security receivable upon conversion of this Note on the date hereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such conversion, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during said period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 2.4.

(d)           No Fractional Shares. Conversion calculations pursuant to Article 2 shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Conversion Share, and no fractional shares shall be issuable by the Borrower upon conversion of this Note. All shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note (including fractions thereof) shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether such conversion would result in the issuance of a fractional share.

(e)           No Impairment. The Borrower will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Borrower, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder of this Note against impairment.

(f)           No Change Necessary. The form of this Note need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon its conversion.

2.5.           Further Adjustments. In case at any time or, from time to time, the Borrower may take any action that affects the class of securities into which this Note may be converted under Section 2, other than an action described herein, then, unless such action will not have a material adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder, the number of shares of such class of securities (or other securities) into which this Note is convertible shall be adjusted in such a manner and at such time as the Borrower’s Board of Directors may determine.”

 

  

  

  

2.           This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Amendment may be executed by facsimile signature and a facsimile signature shall constitute an original for all purposes.

3.           Except as amended hereby, the terms and conditions of the Promissory Note remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has caused this Amendment to be signed in its name by an authorized officer as of the 14th day of July, 2011.

Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite limited liability company power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The Purchaser is duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 4.2, except that references to the Company therein shall refer to the Purchaser and references to Subsidiary or Subsidiaries shall refer to subsidiaries of the Purchaser, if any).  The Purchaser has the requisite limited liability company authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The purchase by Purchaser of the Notes and Warrants hereunder has been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of such Purchaser.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally, and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.

(a)           Purchaser is (i) acquiring the Notes and the Warrants, and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, in the ordinary course of business for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, and Purchaser does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Securities to or through any Person; provided, however, that other than the Purchaser’s obligations set forth under the Section 5.2(b) hereof, by making the representations herein, Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

 

(b)           Purchaser acknowledges that it may be required to execute a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with an underwriter, for itself and as representative of the underwriters, which shall become automatically effective upon the effectiveness of a registration statement in respect of a public equity financing of the Company (“IPO”).  Pursuant to such Lock-Up Agreement, Purchaser shall agree not to sell any shares of Common Stock for a period of six months following the closing of the IPO, provided however, that all of the Company’s executive officers, directors and any other owner of 5% or more of the shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, have agreed to enter into such form of  Lock-Up Agreement with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them.

5.4           Experience of Purchaser.  Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment in the Securities indefinitely, and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

5.6           No Governmental Review.  Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

5.7           No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, that do not otherwise affect the ability of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

  

19

  

5.8           Prohibited Transactions.  Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with Purchaser will engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the securities, including derivatives, of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales) (a “Transaction”) involving any of the Company’s securities prior to the time the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.  Purchaser covenants further that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with Purchaser will engage, directly or indirectly, in any Short Sales involving any of the Company's securities during the time that Purchaser or its affiliates hold the Warrant or any of the Notes are outstanding.  “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

 

5.9           Restricted Securities.

5.10         Legends.  It is understood that certificates evidencing such Securities may bear the legend set forth in Section 10.1 of this Agreement.

 

5.11         No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice.

Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.

 

5.12         No General Solicitation.

(c)         to the extent additional proceeds remain after the foregoing repayments, then such remaining proceeds may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

10.         Restrictions on Transferability.

 

10.1       Restrictive Legend.  Purchaser understands that, until such time as a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act has been declared effective or the Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(b) under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately resold, the certificate(s) representing the Warrant Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the securities comprising the Warrant Shares):

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ISSUED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR PLEDGED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT THE TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

  

26

  

10.2       Restrictions on Transferability.  Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to effect any resale or other disposition of any of the Warrant Shares without complying with the provisions of this Agreement, and without effectively causing any prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Warrant Shares are not transferable on the books of the Company unless (a) the Warrant Shares have been sold in accordance with an effective registration statement or valid exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, (b) prior to such time that a registration statement shall have become effective under the Securities Act, Purchaser 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 Shares under the Securities Act and (c) if applicable, the requirement of delivering a current prospectus has been satisfied.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is not obligated to file and may not file any such registration statement with the SEC, except as set forth herein.

 

11.         Registration Rights.

 

11.1   Demand Registration.

 

(a)         If, at any time after nine months following the Initial Closing Date, Purchaser decides it may sell or otherwise dispose of the Registrable Securities (as defined below), then Purchaser shall deliver a written request to the Company requesting that the Company prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act or any successor statute covering such Registrable Securities and specifying the intended method of the proposed disposition and the portion of the Registrable Securities to be sold or disposed (each such request shall be referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”).  “Registrable Securities” shall mean shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to Purchaser under the Warrants, together with any securities issued or issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing, provided however, that Registrable Securities shall not include any shares (i) the sale of which has been and continues to be registered pursuant to the Securities Act or (ii) which may be sold without restriction (including volume restrictions) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

(b)         Upon receipt of the Demand Registration, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, the Company shall use its commercially reasonably best efforts to cause an appropriate registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering such Registrable Securities to be filed with the SEC and to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable, except in the event that the Company is advised by counsel that the filing of a Registration Statement would not be permitted under the Securities Act due to the Company’s not having current audited financial statements or other financial statements required by Regulation S-X (in any such case the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain such financial statements as soon as possible).  Within ten (10) business days after completion of such financial statements, the Company shall file such Registration Statement. Furthermore, if the Company shall furnish to Purchaser a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, the immediate filing of such Registration Statement would have a material detrimental effect on the Company because either (i) a material acquisition or disposition by the Company is being negotiated or has been publicly announced or (ii) the Company intends, within thirty (30) days, to file a registration statement for the Company’s initial firm commitment underwritten public offering of equity securities, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of Purchaser requesting such registration; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

 

  

27

  

 

(c)         The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration.  A Demand Registration under this Section 11.1 shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the Registration Statement relating thereto (A) has become effective under the Securities Act and (B) has remained effective for a period of at least 24 months (or such shorter period in which all of Purchaser’s Registrable Securities included thereunder have actually been sold), provided that such Registration Statement shall not be considered a Demand Registration if, after such Registration Statement becomes effective, such Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court that is not extinguished.

 

(d)         The Company shall bear all of the costs and expenses relating to the Registration Statement, including, but not limited to, registration, filing and qualification fees, printing expenses, reasonable accounting and legal fees (including Purchaser’s attorneys’ legal fees up to $5,000) and disbursements, provided however, that underwriting discounts and commissions and reimbursable underwriters’ expenses will be borne pro-rata by Purchaser based on the number of Purchaser’s Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement in relation to the total number of shares covered by the Registration Statement (collectively, the “Costs and Expenses”).

 

11.2   Piggyback Registration.  If at any time the Company shall propose the filing of a Registration Statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company, but excluding Registration Statements relating to any registration under Section 11.1 or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization, then the Company shall give Purchaser notice of such proposed registration and shall include in any Registration Statement relating to such securities all or a portion of Purchaser’s Registrable Securities as Purchaser shall request, by notice given by Purchaser to the Company within twenty (20) days after the giving of such notice by the Company, to be so included.  In the event of the inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 11.2, the Company shall bear all of the Costs and Expenses of such registration; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be obligated to pay, pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities included therein, the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and reimbursable underwriters’ expenses.  In the event the distribution of securities of the Company covered by a Registration Statement referred to in this Section 11.2 is to be underwritten, then the Company’s obligation to include Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement shall be subject, at the option of the Company, to the following further conditions:

 

(a)         The distribution for the account of Purchaser shall be underwritten by the same underwriters who are underwriting the distribution of the securities for the account of the Company and/or any other persons whose securities are covered by such Registration Statement, and Purchaser will enter into an agreement with such underwriters containing customary provisions;

 

  

28

  

(b)         If the underwriting agreement entered into with the aforesaid underwriters contains restrictions upon the sale of securities of the Company, other than the securities which are to be included in the proposed distribution, for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the Registration Statement, then such restrictions will be binding upon Purchaser and, if requested by the Company, Purchaser will enter into a written agreement to that effect; and

 

(c)         If the underwriters state in writing that they are unwilling to include any or all of Purchaser’s securities in the proposed offering because such inclusion will materially interfere with the orderly sale and distribution of the securities being offered by the Company, then the number of Purchaser’s Registrable Securities to be included will be reduced in accordance with such statement by the underwriters.

 

11.3   Amendment of Registration Rights.  The registration rights provisions under this Section 11 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of Purchaser.

 

11.4   Registration Procedures.  In connection with the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 11 hereof, and in supplementation and not in limitation of the provisions hereof, the Company shall:

 

(a)         Notify Purchaser as to the filing of the Registration Statement and of all amendments or supplements thereto filed prior to the effective date of said Registration Statement;

 

(b)         Notify Purchaser, promptly after the Company shall receive notice of the time when said Registration Statement became effective or when any amendment or supplement to any prospectus forming a part of said Registration Statement has been filed;

 

(c)         Notify Purchaser promptly of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or prospectus or for additional information;

 

(d)         Prepare and promptly file with the SEC, and promptly notify Purchaser of the filing of, any amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any material misstatements or omissions;

 

(e)         Prepare and file with the SEC any amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or prospectus which may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities;

 

(f)         Prepare, promptly upon request of Purchaser or any underwriters for Purchaser, such amendment or amendments to such Registration Statement and such prospectus or prospectuses as may be reasonably necessary to permit compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act;

 

  

29

  

(g)         Advise Purchaser promptly after the Company shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement or amendment thereto; or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose.  In such event, the Company shall promptly use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or obtain its withdrawal promptly if such stop order should be issued;

 

(h)         Furnish Purchaser, as soon as available, copies of any Registration Statement and each preliminary or final prospectus, or supplement or amendment required to be prepared pursuant hereto, all in such quantities as Purchaser may, from time to time, reasonably request; and

 

(i)          If requested by Purchaser, enter into an agreement with the underwriters of the Registrable Securities being registered containing customary provisions and reflecting the foregoing.

 

12.     Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available to Purchaser the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC, which may permit the resale of the Warrant Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees after the date hereof to:

 

(a)         make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act;

 

(b)         file with the SEC all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (it being expressly acknowledged by the parties hereto that if the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K or quarterly report on Form 10-Q is not filed with the SEC within forty-five (45) days of the date required under the rules and regulations of the SEC (after giving effect to any Rule 12b-25 extensions under the Exchange Act), such failure shall be deemed an Event of Default under the Notes; and

 

(c)         so long as Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to Purchaser promptly upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as Purchaser may reasonably request in writing in complying with any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing Purchaser to sell any such securities without registration.

  

30

  

13.         Indemnification.

 

13.1   Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees, each Person who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, settlement costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to: (i) any material misrepresentation or material breach by the Company of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any material breach by the Company of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 13.3 hereof) by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company), arising out of or resulting from (x) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (y) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (z) the status of Indemnified Party as holder of the Securities; or (iv) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any form of Company prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Company preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by Purchaser for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to Purchaser or Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved by Purchaser or its counsel expressly for use in the Registration Statement, or (B) with respect to any prospectus, if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in such prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company to Purchaser, and Purchaser seeking indemnity hereunder was advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to Losses.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party (as hereinafter defined) shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined) hereunder for that portion of any Losses that have been the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or the breach of a Transaction Document by an Indemnified Party.

 

13.2   Indemnification by Purchaser.  Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any form of Company prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Company preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by Purchaser for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to Purchaser or Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved by Purchaser or its counsel expressly for use in the Registration Statement, or (B) with respect to any prospectus, if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in such prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected prospectus was timely made available by Purchaser to the Company, and the Company seeking indemnity hereunder was advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to Losses.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party (as hereinafter defined) shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party (as hereinafter defined) hereunder for that portion of any Losses that have been the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or the breach of a Transaction Document by an Indemnified Party.

  

31

  

 

13.3   Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

 

(a)         If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the exclusive defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

(b)         An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  It shall be understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding (including separate Proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority of the Indemnified Parties.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

  

32

  

 

(c)         All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party required to be paid by an Indemnifying Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 13.3) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within 20 Trading Days (defined below) of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). For purposes of this Agreement, “Trading Day” means (i) a day on which the Common Stock is traded or is eligible to be traded on a Trading Market, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on a Trading Market, a day on which the Common Stock is traded or is eligible to be traded in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, or (iii) if the Common Stock is not quoted on any Trading Market, a day on which the Common Stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market as reported by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (or any similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices); provided, that in the event that the Common Stock is not listed or quoted as set forth in (i), (ii) and (iii) hereof, then Trading Day shall mean a Business Day.

 

13.4   Contribution.

 

(a)         If a claim for indemnification under Section 13.1(iv) or Section 13.2 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.3, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 13.4 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)         The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 13.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.4, Purchaser shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by Purchaser from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceed the amount of any damages that such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

  

33

  

 

(c)         The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 13.4 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement shall control.

 

14.         Miscellaneous.

 

14.1   Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or Purchaser, by written notice to the other parties, if the Initial Closing has not been consummated by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on August 15, 2011; provided that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

 

14.2   Fees and Expenses.

 

(a)         Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

 

(b)         The Company agrees to reimburse Purchaser at the Initial Closing and the Second Closing as applicable (or, at Purchaser’s option, promptly thereafter) for all reasonable documented out-of-pocket legal fees, due diligence expenses and other expenses incurred for services relating to the transactions contemplated herein, including any reasonable documented out-of-pocket legal fees and other reasonable expenses related to Purchaser’s review of the Company’s compliance with post-closing covenants, including those related to delivery of security interests in the Target Company as required by the Transaction Documents, provided that travel expenses in excess of two thousand dollars ($2,000) shall be pre-approved by the Company.  Such reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses that have been paid by, or billed to Purchaser through the Initial Closing (net of any amounts previously advanced by the Company) may, at the option of Purchaser, be paid by offset against the cash purchase price payable for the Notes purchased at the Initial Closing.  The foregoing reimbursement obligation of the Company shall be enforceable by Purchaser regardless of whether the Initial Closing and/or the Second Closing occur.  Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has advanced an aggregate of $50,000 toward such reimbursement obligation prior to the signing of this Agreement.

 

(c)         In addition to the reimbursement obligation of the Company set forth in Section 14.2(b) above, during the period of time in which all of, or a portion of, the principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company agrees to reimburse Purchaser for reasonable documented out-of-pocket legal fees and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Purchaser’s enforcement of its rights under the Transaction Documents, including costs of negotiating any future subordination or loan extension arrangement with the Company or third party lenders.

(d)         Entire Agreement.  The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.  At or after the applicable Closing, and without further consideration, each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other party such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction Documents.

 

14.3   Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address specified on the signature pages hereto prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address specified on the signature pages hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The addresses, facsimile numbers and email addresses for such notices and communications are those set forth on the signature pages hereof, or such other address or facsimile number as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by any such Person.

 

14.4   Amendments; Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought.  No waiver 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 subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

14.5   Construction.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

14.6   Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Purchaser.  Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom Purchaser assigns or transfers or will assign or transfer (including by way of distribution to its members, partners or stockholders) any Securities, provided (i) such transferor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company after such assignment, (ii) at least five days prior to such assignment, the Company is furnished with written notice of (x) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (y) the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such Securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Purchaser” and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement and with all laws applicable thereto.

 

14.7   No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnified Party is an intended third-party beneficiary of Section 13 and (in each case) may enforce the provisions of such section directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.

 

14.8   Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.  ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT THE GENERAL APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.  THE COMPANY AND PURCHASER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR PURCHASER HEREUNDER, ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR PURCHASER, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF.  NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.  THE COMPANY AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

  

36

  

 

14.9   Survival.  The representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement and the rights to indemnification under this Agreement with respect thereto will survive the date of this Agreement until the last to occur of: (i) full repayment of the Principal Amount pursuant to the Notes, or (ii) a period of twenty-seven (27) months after the Second Closing Date, except that rights of indemnification with respect to matters arising out of a Registration Statement shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months after the sale of any securities under such Registration Statement.

 

14.10 Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.

 

14.11 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

 

14.12 Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option owed to such Purchaser by the Company under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then, prior to the performance by the Company of the Company’s related obligation, Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

14.13 Replacement of Securities.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any losses in connection therewith.  The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

  

37

  

14.14  Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

14.15  Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to Purchaser hereunder or Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

14.16  Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices.  In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.

 

14.17  Public Announcement.  From and after the date hereof, and while any Note is outstanding, the Company and Purchaser will not disclose, shall not cause any Person to disclose, and will not include or cause any Person to include in any public announcement, the name of the other party to this Agreement, unless expressly agreed to by such other party or unless and until such disclosure is required by applicable law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement. Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic or current report of the Company.
