JONES SODA CO.

2011 INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

     Pursuant to your Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice (the “Award Notice”) and this Restricted
Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), Jones Soda Co. (the “Company”) has granted you a
Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) under its 2011 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number
of Restricted Stock Units indicated in your Award Notice. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined
in this Agreement but defined in the Plan have the same definitions as in the Plan.

     The details of the Award are as follows:

1. Vesting

     The Award will vest and become payable according to the vesting schedule set forth in the
Award Notice (the “Vesting Schedule”). One share of the Company’s Common Stock will be issuable
for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests. Restricted Stock Units that have vested and are no
longer subject to forfeiture according to the Vesting Schedule are referred to herein as “Vested
Units.” Restricted Stock Units that have not vested and remain subject to forfeiture under the
Vesting Schedule are referred to herein as “Unvested Units.” The Unvested Units will vest (and to
the extent so vested cease to be Unvested Units remaining subject to forfeiture) in accordance with
the Vesting Schedule (the Unvested and Vested Units are collectively referred to herein as the
“Units”). As soon as practicable after Unvested Units become Vested Units, but in no event later
than forty-five days after vesting, the Company will settle the Vested Units by issuing to you one
share of the Company’s Common Stock for each Vested Unit.

2. Termination of Service

     Unless the Committee determines otherwise prior to your Termination of Service, all Unvested
Units will immediately be forfeited to the Company upon your Termination of Service without payment
of any consideration to you.

3. Consideration for Award

     The Company acknowledges your payment of full consideration for the Award in the form of
services previously rendered and/or services to be rendered hereafter to the Company (in either
case, in an amount equal to no less than the aggregate par value of the shares of the subject to
the Award).

4. Securities Law Compliance

     4.1 You represent and warrant that you (a) have been furnished with a copy of the Plan and all
information which you deem necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of receipt of the Award, (b)
have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the information received
about the Award and the Company, and (c) have been given the

 

 

opportunity to obtain any additional
information you deem necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the
Award and the Company.

     4.2 You hereby agree that you will in no event sell or distribute all or any part of the
shares of the Company’s Common Stock that you receive pursuant to settlement of this Award (the
“Shares”) unless (a) there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws covering any such transaction involving the Shares or (b) the
Company receives an opinion of your legal counsel (concurred in by legal counsel for the Company)
stating that such transaction is exempt from registration or the Company otherwise satisfies itself
that such transaction is exempt from registration.

     4.3 You confirm that you have been advised, prior to your receipt of the Award, that neither
the offering of the Shares nor any offering materials have been reviewed by any administrator under
the Securities Act or any other applicable securities act.

     4.4 You hereby agree to indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against any loss,
claim or liability, including attorneys’ fees or legal expenses, incurred by the Company as a
result of any breach by you of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or statement
made by you in this Agreement or the breach by you of any terms or conditions of this Agreement.

5. Transfer Restrictions

     Any sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, conveyance in trust,
gift, transfer by bequest, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition of any kind, whether
voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, of Units will be strictly prohibited and
void.

6. No Rights as Shareholder

     You will not have voting or other rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the
Units.

7. Independent Tax Advice

     You acknowledge that determining the actual tax consequences to you of receiving or disposing
of the Units and Shares issued thereunder may be complicated. These tax consequences will depend,
in part, on your specific situation and may also depend on the resolution of currently uncertain
tax law and other variables not within the control of the Company. You are aware that you should
consult a competent and independent tax advisor for a full understanding of the specific tax
consequences to you of receiving the Units and receiving or disposing of the Shares. Prior to
executing this Agreement, you either have consulted with a competent tax advisor independent of the
Company to obtain tax advice concerning the receipt of the Units and the receipt or disposition of
the Shares in light of your specific situation or you have had the opportunity to consult with such
a tax advisor but chose not to do so.

-2-

 

8. Book Entry Registration of Shares

     The Company may issue the Shares by registering the Shares in book entry form with the
Company’s transfer agent in your name in which case the applicable restrictions will be noted in
the records of the Company’s transfer agent and in the book entry system.

9. Tax Withholding

     You agree to make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the payment of any federal,
state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations in connection with this Award (e.g., at vesting
and/or upon receipt of the Shares) and you acknowledge that the Company may refuse to issue any
Shares to you until you satisfy such withholding tax obligations. You may satisfy such withholding
obligation by any of the following means or a combination thereof: (a) tendering a cash payment to
the Company, (b) having the Company withhold an amount from any cash amount otherwise due or become
due from the Company to you, (c) having the Company withhold a number of shares of the Company’s
Common Stock that would otherwise become issuable under the Award (up to the employer’s minimum tax
withholding rate) or (d) surrendering to the Company already owned shares of the Company’s Common
Stock (up to the employer’s minimum required tax withholding rate). Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, you acknowledge and agree that the Company and any Related Company have the right to
deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to you any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect the Award.

10. General Provisions

or not such rights are then exercisable, to any person or entity selected by the Company’s Board of
Directors, including, but not limited to, one or more of the Company’s shareholders.

     10.2 No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid unless in writing
and signed by the person against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced, nor will failure to
enforce any right hereunder constitute a continuing waiver of the same or a waiver of any other
right hereunder.

     10.3 Undertaking. You hereby agree to take whatever additional action and execute whatever
additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect
one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either you or the Units pursuant to the
express provisions of this Agreement.

services on behalf of the Company, for any reason, with or without Cause.

makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to the Award.

     10.8 Counterparts. This Award Notice may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed an original, but which, upon execution, will constitute one and the same
instrument.

The Reports and Other Written Information including the financial statements included therein do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the circumstances and when made.

The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

(l)           Defaults.  Subject to the execution of the Second Waiver and Consent by the required parties the Company is not in violation of its articles of incorporation or bylaws.   The Company is (i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound or affected, which default or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters which default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) not in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m)           No Integrated Offering.   Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any security of the Company under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of impairing the exemptions relied on with respect to the  1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Bulletin Board.  No prior offering will impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will take any action or suffer any inaction or conduct any offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that may be integrated with the offer or issuance of the Securities or that would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.

(n)           No General Solicitation.  Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

(q)           Dilution.   The Company’s executive officers and directors understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders of the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company.  The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the Company.  The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive equity of the Company.

(r)           No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers.  There are no material disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise between the Company and the accountants and lawyers previously and presently employed by the Company, including but not limited to disputes or conflicts over payment owed to such accountants and lawyers, nor have there been any such disagreements during the two years prior to the Closing Date.

(u)           Reporting Company/Shell Company.  The Company is a publicly-held company subject to reporting obligations pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).  Pursuant to the provisions of the 1934 Act, the Company has timely filed all reports and other materials required to be filed thereunder with the Commission during the preceding twelve months.  As of the Closing Date, the Company is not a “shell company” but is a “former shell company” as those terms are employed in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.

(v)           Listing.  The Company’s Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“Bulletin Board”) under the symbol TBBC.

(z)           Survival.  The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date.

6.           Regulation D Offering/Legal Opinion.  The offer and issuance of the Securities to the Subscribers is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act afforded by Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) of the 1933 Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  On the Closing Date, the Company will provide an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Subscribers from the Company’s legal counsel opining on the availability of an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act as it relates to the offer and issuance of the Securities and other matters reasonably requested by Subscribers.  A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as Exhibit E.  The Company will provide, at the Company’s expense, to the Subscribers, such other legal opinions, if any, as are reasonably necessary in each Subscriber’s opinion for the issuance and resale of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration.

                      7.1.           Conversion of Notes.

(a)           Upon the conversion of a Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of a Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.  The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the legend set forth in Section 4(h).  If and when a Subscriber sells the Conversion Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement including such Conversion Shares for registration has been filed with the Commission, is effective and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, contained therein is current and (ii) Subscriber or its agent confirms in writing to the transfer agent that Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, the Company will reissue the Conversion Shares without restrictive legend and the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable.  In the event that the Conversion Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend indefinitely if such sale is intended to be made in conformity with Rule 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act, or for 90 days if pursuant to the other provisions of Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, provided that Subscriber delivers reasonably requested representations in support of such opinion.

 

  

12

  

(b)           Each Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert its Note, interest, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise delivering a completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit A to the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or otherwise pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement.  Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof by 6 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) (or if received by the Company after 6 PM ET, then the next business day) shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.”  The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the Company’s Common Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to Subscriber via express courier for receipt by Subscriber within three days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”).  In the event the Conversion Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber.   A Note representing the balance of the Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original Note to the Company.

(c)           The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof later than the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Subscribers.  As compensation to Subscribers for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to each applicable Subscriber for late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note, the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Note principal amount and interest (and proportionately for other amounts) being converted of the corresponding Conversion Shares which are not timely delivered.  The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section upon demand.  Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscribers, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the damages payable in connection with the Company’s default shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

 7.2.           Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber’s Election.  In the event (i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, (ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the Note, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), that continues beyond any applicable cure period, (iii) a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs, or (iv) upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Subsidiary, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to each Subscriber not later than ten (10) days after request by such Subscriber, a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by each such Subscriber by, at Subscriber’s election, the greater of (i) 120%, or (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the highest closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty days preceding the date demand is made by Subscriber pursuant to this Section 7.2 and the denominator of which is the lowest applicable conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the Transaction Documents ("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by each Subscriber on the same date as the Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal, interest and other amounts will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.  The Subscriber may rescind the election to receive a Mandatory Redemption Payment at any time until such payment is actually received.  Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for the ten day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by such Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment provided the balance of the Mandatory Redemption Payment is timely paid.  For purposes of this Section 7.2, “Change in Control” shall mean (i) the Company  becoming a Subsidiary of another entity (other than a corporation formed by the Company for purposes of reincorporation in another U.S. jurisdiction), (ii) the sale, lease or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (iii) a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors of the Company, except as a result of natural causes or as a result of hiring additional outside directors in order to meet appropriate stock exchange requirements, unless prior written consent of the Subscribers had been obtained by the Company.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Subscriber may demand and receive from the Company the amount stated above or any other greater amount which Subscriber is entitled to receive or demand pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

7.3.           Maximum Conversion.  A Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of a Note nor may the Company make any payment including principal, interest, or liquidated or other damages by delivery of Conversion Shares in connection with that number of Conversion Shares which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Subscriber and its Affiliates on a Conversion Date or payment date, and (ii) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a calculation date, which would result in beneficial ownership by Subscriber and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date.  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, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversions by the Subscriber may exceed 4.99%.  The Subscriber shall have the authority to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 7.3 will limit any conversion of a Note and the extent such limitation applies and to which convertible or exercisable instrument or part thereof such limitation applies.  The Subscriber may increase the permitted beneficial ownership amount up to 9.99% upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company.  Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%.

7.4.           Injunction Posting of Bond.  In the event a Subscriber shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof, or exercise a Warrant, the Company may not refuse conversion or exercise based on any claim that Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, a final non-appealable injunction from a court made on notice to Subscriber, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of such Note or exercise of such Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company or the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the greater of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the Note, or aggregate purchase price of the Conversion Shares, or 120% of the aggregate exercise price of the Warrants which are sought to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to Subscriber to the extent the judgment or decision is in Subscriber’s favor.

 

7.5.           Buy-In.   In addition to any other rights available to Subscribers, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date and if after the Delivery Date Subscriber or a broker on Subscriber’s behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Subscriber of the Common Stock which Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay to Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note for which such conversion request was not timely honored together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  For example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of Note principal and/or interest, the Company shall be required to pay Subscriber $1,000 plus interest. Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice and evidence indicating the amounts payable to Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.

The Company represents that there are no parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, finder’s fees, due diligence fees or similar payments in connection with the Offering, except as set forth in Schedule 8(a).  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Subscriber is providing indemnification only for such Subscriber’s own actions and not for any action of any other Subscriber.  The liability of the Company and each Subscriber’s liability hereunder is several and not joint.  The Company represents that to the best of its knowledge there are no other parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, or similar payments in connection with the Offering.

(b)           Listing/Quotation.  The Company shall promptly secure the quotation or listing of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange, or automated quotation system upon which the Company’s Common Stock is quoted or listed and upon which such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are or become eligible for quotation or listing (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain same so long as any Notes and Warrants are outstanding.  The Company will maintain the quotation or listing of its Common Stock on the NYSE Amex Equities, Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, Bulletin Board, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock (the “Principal Market”), and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market, as applicable. Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 9(n), the Company will provide Subscribers with copies of all notices it receives notifying the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the Common Stock from any Principal Market.  As of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Bulletin Board is the Principal Market.

(c)           Market Regulations.  If required, the Company shall notify the Commission, the Principal Market and applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the Subscribers and promptly provide copies thereof to the Subscribers.

(d)           Filing Requirements.  From the date of this Agreement and until the last to occur of (i) all the Conversion Shares have been resold or transferred by the Subscribers pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i), or (ii) none of the Notes and Warrants are outstanding (the date of such latest occurrence being the “End Date”), the Company will (A) comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the 1934 Act, (B) voluntarily comply with all reporting requirements that are applicable to an issuer with a class of shares registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act even if the Company is not subject to such reporting requirements sufficient to permit Subscriber to be able to resell the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144(b)(i), and (C) comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts not to take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under said acts until the End Date.  Until the End Date, the Company will continue the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Principal Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market.  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities if required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Subscriber promptly after such filing.

(e)           Use of Proceeds.   The proceeds of the Offering will be substantially employed by the Company for the purposes set forth on Schedule 9(e) hereto.  Except as described on Schedule 9(e), the Purchase Price may not and will not be used for accrued and unpaid officer and director salaries, nor payment of financing related debt nor redemption of outstanding notes or equity instruments of the Company nor non-trade payables outstanding on the Closing Date.

(f)           Reservation.   Prior to the Closing, the Company undertakes to reserve on behalf of Subscribers from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow Subscribers to be able to convert all of the Notes (including interest that would accrue thereon through the Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes)) and 100% of the amount of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (“Required Reservation”).   Failure to have sufficient shares reserved pursuant to this Section 9(f) at any time shall be a material default of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and an Event of Default under the Notes.  Without waiving the foregoing requirement, if at any time Notes and Warrants are outstanding the Company has reserved on behalf of the Subscribers less than 125% of the amount necessary for full conversion of the outstanding Note principal and interest at the conversion price in effect on every such date and 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants (“Minimum Required Reservation”), the Company will promptly reserve the Minimum Required Reservation, or if there are insufficient authorized and available shares of Common Stock to do so, the Company will take all action necessary to increase its authorized capital to be able to fully satisfy its reservation requirements hereunder, including the filing of a preliminary proxy with the Commission not later than fifteen (15) days after the first day the Company has reserved less than the Minimum Required Reservation.  The Company agrees to provide notice to the Subscribers not later than five days after the date the Company has less than the Minimum Required Reservation reserved on behalf of the Subscribers.

From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as security therefore.

(i)           Insurance.  As reasonably necessary as determined by the Company, from the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will keep its assets which are of an insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by companies in the Company’s line of business and location, in amounts and to the extent and in the manner customary for companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms.

In the event that the Company believes that a notice or communication to Subscribers contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, except as required to be delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Company shall so indicate to Subscribers prior to delivery of such notice or information.  Subscribers will be granted five days to notify the Company that Subscriber elects not to receive such information.   In the case that Subscriber elects not to receive such information, the Company will not deliver such information to Subscribers.

The Company covenants and agrees that except for the Reports, Other Written Information and schedules and exhibits to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, which information the Company undertakes to publicly disclose on the Form 8-K described in Section 9(n) above, neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will at any time provide any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Subscriber, its agent or counsel shall have agreed in writing to accept such information as described in Section 9(n) above.  The Company understands and confirms that the Subscribers shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

Upon the receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record holders of the Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be filed and shall include in such registration statement Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests within ten days after the Company gives such written notice.  Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed to have exercised their demand registration right under this Section 11.1(i).

(ii)           If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Subscribers or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it will give at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder, received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the “Seller” or “Sellers”). In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such reduction. Unless the Holder notifies the Company in writing that it elects to deem the registration statement filed or to be filed pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) as a registration statement filed or to be filed pursuant to Section 11.1(ii), the Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 11.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.

(iii)           In the event that the Company is required by the Commission to cutback the number of shares being registered in the registration statement pursuant to Rule 415, the Company shall reduce the Registrable Securities proportionately among the Holders based on the amount of Registrable Securities included therein for each of the Holders (“Registration Cutback”).  The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of each Subscriber and Warrant holder, prorata, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each Subscriber and Warrant holder.  Not later than twenty (20) days after first being permitted by applicable Commission rules and regulations, the registration statement will be amended by the Company or additional registration statements will be filed by the Company as necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities.  Without the written consent of a Majority in Interest no securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities and the securities required to be registered pursuant to the Subscription Agreement for the November Offering will be included in the registration statement.  It shall be deemed a default of the Company’s obligations if at any time after the date the registration statement is declared effective by the Commission (“Actual Effective Date”) the Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Holders fewer than 90% of the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein (the difference between the amount required to be registered therein and the actual amount of shares registered being the “Shortfall”).  In such event, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause at least 125% of the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein to be registered within forty-five (45) days after the first day such Shortfall exists.  Failure to file the registration statement within thirty (30) days after the first day such Shortfall first exists or failure to cause such registration to become effective within forty-five (45) days after such Shortfall first exists shall be included in the definition of a Non-Registration Event set forth in Section 11.4.  In the event a Registration Cutback is required, the “Notes” and “Warrants” issued in the November Offering shall have priority over the Notes and Warrants issued in this Offering.

                      11.2.           Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 11.1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(a)           subject to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement required by Section 11.1 with respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), promptly provide to the holders of the Registrable Securities copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment and notify the Sellers  (by telecopier and by e-mail addresses provided by the Subscribers) and Grushko & Mittman, P.C. (by telecopier and by email to counslers@aol.com) on or before the second  business day thereafter that the Company receives notice that (i) the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the registration statement, and (ii) the registration statement has been declared effective (failure to timely provide notice as required by this Section 11.2(a) shall be a material breach of the Company’s obligation and an Event of Default as defined in the Notes and a Non-Registration Event as defined in Section 11.4 of this Agreement);

(b)           prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until such registration statement has been effective for a period of one (1) year, and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;

 

  

23

  

 

(c)           furnish to the Sellers, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement or make them electronically available;

(d)           use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of New York and such jurisdictions as the Sellers shall request in writing, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e)           list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

(f)           notify the Sellers within twenty-four (24) hours of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing or which becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement covering any of the Registrable Securities;

(g)           provided same would not be in violation of the provision of Regulation FD under the 1934 Act, make available for inspection by the Sellers during reasonable business hours,  and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Sellers, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the Sellers, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement at such requesting Seller’s expense; and

 

(h)           provide to the Sellers copies of the Registration Statement and amendments thereto five (5) days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission.  Any Seller’s failure to comment on any registration statement or other document provided to a Subscriber or its counsel shall not be construed to constitute approval thereof nor the accuracy thereof.

11.3.           Provision of Documents.  In connection with each registration described in this Section 11, each Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.

11.4.           Non-Registration Events.  The Company agrees that the Sellers will suffer damages if the registration statement is not filed or is not declared effective by the Commission by the dates described herein and accordingly, if (A) due to the action or inaction of the Company a registration statement is not declared effective within five days after receipt by the Company or its attorneys of a written or oral communication from the Commission that the registration statement will not be reviewed or that the Commission has no further comments, (B) if the registration statement described in Section 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is not filed within sixty (60) days after such written request, or is not declared effective within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing of the registration statement or (C) any registration statement described in Sections 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective without being succeeded within twenty-two (22) business days by an effective replacement or amended registration statement or for a period of time which shall exceed forty (45) days in the aggregate per year (defined as every rolling period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive days commencing on the effective date) (each such event shall be a “Non-Registration Event”), then the Company shall pay to the holder of Registrable Securities, as Liquidated Damages, an amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period of less than thirty (30) days) of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes and purchase price of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares issued upon conversion of Notes and exercise (but excluding cashless exercise) of Warrants held by Subscribers which are subject to such Non-Registration Event, up to a maximum of twelve percent (12%).  For the avoidance of doubt no securities from the November Offering shall be used to determine any Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section 11.4. The Company must pay the Liquidated Damages in cash.  The Liquidated Damages must be paid within ten (10) days after the end of each thirty (30) day period or shorter part thereof for which Liquidated Damages are payable.  In the event a registration statement is filed but is withdrawn prior to being declared effective by the Commission, then such registration statement will be deemed to have not been filed and Liquidated Damages will be calculated accordingly.  All oral or written comments received from the Commission relating to a registration statement must be responded to within ten (10) business days after receipt of comments from the Commission.  Failure to timely respond to Commission comments is a Non-Registration Event for which Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities at the same rate and amounts set forth above calculated from the date the response was required to have been made.  Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.4 in connection with Registrable Securities for such times as such Registrable Securities may be sold by the holder thereof without volume limitations or other restrictions pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the no Liquidated Damages will be due in connection with Registrable Securities subject to a Registration Cutback and the Company shall not have to pay Liquidated Damages as the result of such cutback.

 

  

24

  

11.5.           Expenses.  All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 11, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are called “Selling Expenses.”  The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration statement described in Section 11.  Selling Expenses in connection with each such registration statement shall be borne by the Seller and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares included on behalf of the Seller relative to the aggregate number of shares included under such registration statement for all Sellers, or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.

11.6.           Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)           In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of the officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, 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 in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions of Section 11.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.

 

  

25

  

(b)           In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, each Seller severally but not jointly will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 11.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

 

  

26

  

(d)           In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or any controlling person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.6 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 11.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Section 11.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

11.7.           Unlegended Shares and 144 Sales.

(a)           Delivery of Unlegended Shares.  Within five days (such fifth day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock held by Subscriber has been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber and, if required, Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in Section 4(h) above (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted Common Stock certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.

 

  

27

  

(b)           DWAC.   In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of Subscribers, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in such DWAC system.  Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.

(c)           Late Delivery of Unlegended Shares.   The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7 hereof later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber.  As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default.  If during any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.7 for an aggregate of thirty days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Unlegended Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120% of the Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber for the Unlegended Shares that were not timely delivered, or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the aforedescribed thirty day period and the denominator of which is the lowest conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, during such thirty day period, multiplied by the price paid by Subscriber for such Common Stock (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”).  The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

(d)           Injunction.  In the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 11 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or anyone associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has not complied with Subscriber’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of the greater of (i) 125% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock which is subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day before the issue date of the injunction multiplied by the number of Unlegended Shares to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.

(e)           Buy-In.   In addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date the Subscriber, or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  For example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.

 

  

28

  

(f)           144 Default.   At any time commencing six months after the Closing Date, in the event the Subscriber is not permitted to sell any of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares without any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted but subject to volume limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result of the unavailability to Subscriber of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act or any successor rule (a “144 Default”), for any reason including but not limited to failure by the Company to file quarterly, annual or any other filings required to be made by the Company by the required filing dates (provided that any filing made within the time for a valid extension shall be deemed to have been timely filed), or the Company’s failure to make information publicly available which would allow Subscriber’s reliance on Rule 144 in connection with sales of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, except due to a change in current applicable securities laws or because the Subscriber is an Affiliate (as defined under Rule 144) of the Company, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages and not as a penalty for each thirty days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period less than thirty days) an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the purchase price of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such 144 Default.  Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.7(f) in connection with Shares for such times as such Shares may be sold by the holder thereof without any legend or volume or other restrictions pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

12.           (a)           Favored Nations Provision.  Other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a bona fide strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, and which have been approved by a Majority in Interest, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements and other bona fide partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, and which have been approved by a Majority in Interest, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans described on Schedule 5(d) , (iv) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the terms disclosed in the Reports and which securities are also described on Schedule 12(a), (v) as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement on the unamended terms in effect on the Closing Date, (vi) convertible debentures  and common stock purchase warrants issued on terms described in Schedule 12(a) on terms no more favorable than the Offering for compensation set forth on Schedule 12(a), and (vii) the securities set forth on Schedule 12(a), (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vii) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time the Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect at such time, or if less than the Warrant exercise price in effect at such time, without the consent of the Subscribers, then the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price.  The average Conversion Price of the Conversion Shares and average exercise price in relation to the Warrant Shares shall be calculated separately for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares.    Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.  For purposes of the issuance and adjustments described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock upon the sooner of the agreement to or actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or options and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect upon such issuance.  The rights of Subscribers set forth in this Section 12 are in addition to any other rights the Subscribers have pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, Warrants, any other Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscribers and Company are parties.

 

  

29

  

(b)           Right of First Refusal.  Subject to the rights of holders of “Notes” and “Warrants” issued in the November and April Offerings, until the earlier of (i) eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, or (ii) the termination of the Exclusion Period [as defined in Section 9(w)], the Subscribers shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its common stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations (“Other Offering”), except in connection with the Excepted Issuances.  If Subscribers elect to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 12(b), the Subscribers shall have the right during the fifteen (15) days following receipt of the notice, to purchase in the aggregate up to all of such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale, relative to each other in proportion to the amount of Note Principal issued to them on the Closing Date.  Subscribers who participate in such Other Offering shall be entitled at their option to purchase, in proportion to each other, the amount of such Other Offering that could have been purchased by Subscribers who do not exercise their rights hereunder until up to the entire Other Offering is purchased by Subscribers.

This Agreement and other documents delivered in connection herewith represent the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may be amended only by a writing executed by both parties.  Neither the Company nor the Subscribers has relied on any representations not contained or referred to in this Agreement and the documents delivered herewith.

(c)           Counterparts/Execution.

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission, PDF, electronic signature or other similar electronic means with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

(d)           Law Governing this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of New York.  The parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens.  The parties executing this Agreement and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of such courts and hereby irrevocably waive trial by jury.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

31

  

(e)           Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and Subscribers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.  Subject to Section 13(d) hereof, the Company and each Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(f)           Damages.   In the event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated or other damages pursuant to the Transactions Documents, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater of actual damages or such liquidated damages.  In the event the Subscriber is granted rights under different sections of the Transaction Documents relating to the same subject matter or which may be exercised contemporaneously, or pursuant to which damages or remedies are different, Subscriber is granted the right in Subscriber’s absolute discretion to proceed under such section as Subscriber elects.

(g)           Maximum Payments.   Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.  In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscribers and thus refunded to the Company.  The Company agrees that it may not and actually waives any right to challenge the effectiveness or applicability of this Section 13(g).

(h)           Calendar Days.   All references to “days” in the Transaction Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated.  The terms “business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours.  Time periods shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were occurring in New York City.  Any deadline that falls on a non-business day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the next business day and interest, if any, shall be calculated and payable through such extended period.

(i)           Captions: Certain Definitions.  The captions of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience; such captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.  As used in this Agreement the term “person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.

(j)           Consent.   As used in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and any other agreement delivered in connection herewith, “Consent of the Subscribers” or similar language means the consent of holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes on the date consent is requested (such Subscribers being a “Majority in Interest”).  A Majority in Interest may consent to take or forebear from any action permitted under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, modify any Transaction Documents or waive any default or requirement applicable to the Company, Subsidiaries or Subscribers under the Transaction Documents provided the effect of such action does not waive any accrued interest or damages and further provided that the relative rights of the Subscribers to each other remains unchanged.

 

  

32

  

(k)           Severability.  In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall be finally determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that determination shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability: (i) by or before that authority of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable term or provision were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(l)           Successor Laws.  References in the Transaction Documents to laws, rules, regulations and forms shall also include successors to and functionally equivalent replacements of such laws, rules, regulations and forms.  A successor rule to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) shall include any rule that would be available to a non-Affiliate of the Company for the sale of Common Stock not subject to volume restrictions and after a six month holding period.

(m)           Maximum Liability.   In no event shall the liability of the Subscribers or permitted successor hereunder or under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber or successor upon the sale of Conversion Shares.

(n)           Independent Nature of Subscribers.     The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that the decision of each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently of any other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.  The Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the Subscribers.  The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

(o)           Equal Treatment.   No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscribers and their permitted successors and assigns.

(p)           Adjustments.   The conversion price, Warrant exercise price, amount of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, trading volume amounts, price/volume amounts and similar figures in the Transaction Documents shall be equitably adjusted and as otherwise described in this Agreement, the Notes and Warrants.

(a)           The Subscriber and Company acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent (i) shall not be responsible for or bound by, and shall not be required to inquire into whether either the Subscriber or Company is entitled to receipt of the Company Documents and Subscriber Documents pursuant to, any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically assumed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction, instrument, statement, request or document furnished to it hereunder and believed by the Escrow Agent in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or party, without being required to determine the authenticity or correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof; (iv) may assume that any person believed by the Escrow Agent in good faith to be authorized to give notice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof is so authorized; (v) shall not be under any duty to give the property held by Escrow Agent hereunder any greater degree of care than Escrow Agent gives its own similar property; and (vi) may consult counsel satisfactory to Escrow Agent, the opinion of such counsel to be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by Escrow Agent hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

(b)           The Subscriber and Company acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by Escrow Agent in good faith and believed by Escrow Agent to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon Escrow Agent by this Agreement.  The Subscriber and Company, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and any of Escrow Agent's partners, employees, agents and representatives for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Escrow Agent or any of them hereunder, including the fees of outside counsel and other costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability under this Agreement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct on Escrow Agent's part committed in its capacity as Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

4.2.           Dispute Resolution: Judgments.  Resolution of disputes arising under this Agreement shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)           If any dispute shall arise with respect to the delivery, ownership, right of possession or disposition of the Company Documents and Subscriber Documents, or if the Escrow Agent shall in good faith be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder, the Escrow Agent shall be authorized, without liability to anyone, to (i) refrain from taking any action other than to continue to hold the Company Documents and Subscriber Documents pending receipt of a Joint Instruction from the Subscriber and Company, or (ii) deposit the Company Documents and Subscriber Documents with any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, in which event the Escrow Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Subscriber and the Company and shall thereupon be relieved and discharged from all further obligations pursuant to this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent may, but shall be under no duty to, institute or defend any legal proceedings which relate to the Company Documents and Subscriber Documents.  The Escrow Agent shall have the right to retain counsel if it becomes involved in any disagreement, dispute or litigation on account of this Agreement or otherwise determines that it is necessary to consult counsel.

 

(b)           The Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey any Court Order.

Exhibit E Form of Legal Opinion

 

August 11, 2011

TO:           The Subscribers identified on Schedule A hereto:

We have acted as counsel to The Brainy Brands Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of up to $2,400,000  principal amount of secured Convertible Notes (the "Notes") and thirty common stock purchase warrants  for each $4.00 of Purchase Price paid by each Subscriber to the Subscribers identified on Schedule A hereto, pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act) as set forth in Regulation D ("Regulation D") promulgated thereunder.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them in the subscription agreement (the "Agreement") by and between the Company and Subscribers entered into at or about the date hereof.

In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have made such examination of law as we considered appropriate or advisable for purposes hereof.  As to matters of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied, with your permission, upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made by the Company and the Subscribers pursuant to the Transaction Documents and upon certificates and written statements of certain government officials and of officers of the Company as described below, which are annexed hereto.  We have also examined originals or copies of certain corporate documents or records of the Company as described below:

In rendering the opinions set forth in this opinion letter, we assume the following:

(d)           the authorization, execution and delivery by each person other than the Company and/or the Subsidiary or person(s) acting on behalf of the Company and/or the Subsidiary of each document executed and delivered or to be executed and delivered by such person;

(e)           the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability as to each person other than the Company and/or the Subsidiary or person(s) acting on behalf of the Company and/or the Subsidiary of each document executed and delivered or to be executed or delivered and of each other act done or to be done by such person;

(f)           the transactions referred to in the Transaction Documents have been consummated;

(g)           the payment of all the required documentary stamps taxes and fees imposed upon the execution, filing or recording of the Transaction Documents;

(h)           that there have been no undisclosed modifications of any provision of any document reviewed by us in connection with the rendering of the opinions set forth in this opinion letter and no undisclosed prior waiver of any right or remedy contained in the Transaction Documents;

(i)           the genuineness of each signature (other than the signatures of the officers of the Company and/or the Subsidiary), the completeness of each document submitted to us, the authenticity of each document reviewed by us as an original, the conformity to the original of each document reviewed by us as a copy and the authenticity of the original of each document received by us as a copy;

(k)           the accuracy on the date of this letter as well as on the date stated in all governmental certifications of each statement as to each factual matter contained in such governmental certifications;

(l)           that the addressee has acted in good faith, without notice of adverse claims, and has complied with all laws applicable to it that affect the transactions referred to in the Transaction Documents;

(m)           that the transactions referred to in the Transaction Documents comply with all tests of good faith, fairness and conscionability required by law;

(n)           that routine procedural matters such as service of process or qualification to do business in the relevant jurisdictions will be satisfied by the parties seeking to enforce the Transaction Documents;

(o)           that all statutes, judicial and administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of governmental agencies constituting the law for which we are assuming responsibility are published (e.g., reported court decisions and the specialized reporting services of BNA, CCH and Prentice-Hall) or otherwise generally accessible (e.g., LEXIS or WESTLAW) in each case in a manner generally available (i.e., in terms of access and distribution following publication) to lawyers practicing in our judicial circuit;

 

  

51

  

(p)           that other agreements related to the transactions referred to in the Transaction Documents will be enforced as written;

(q)           that no action, discretionary or otherwise, will be taken by or on behalf of the Company or the Subsidiary in the future that might result in a violation of law;

(r)           that there are no other agreements or understandings among the parties that would modify the terms of the Transaction Documents or the respective rights or obligations of the parties to the Transaction Documents;

(s)           that with respect to the Transaction Documents and to the transactions referred to therein, there has been no mutual mistake of fact and there exists no fraud or duress; and

(t)           the constitutionality and validity of all relevant laws, regulations and agency actions unless a reported case has otherwise held or widespread concern has been expressed by commentators as reflected in materials which lawyers routinely consult.

Whenever a statement herein is qualified by "to our knowledge" or similar phrase, it means that, during the course of our representation of the Company and Subsidiary for the purposes of this opinion letter, (1) no information that would give those lawyers who participated in the preparation of the letter (collectively, the "Opinion Letter Participants") current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement has come to their attention; (2) we have not undertaken any independent investigation or inquiry to determine the accuracy of such statement; (3) any limited investigation or inquiry otherwise undertaken by the Opinion Letter Participants during the preparation of this opinion letter should not be regarded as such an investigation or inquiry; and (4) no inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company and Subsidiary. We also call to your attention to the fact that we are not general counsel to the Company and Subsidiary and we are not familiar with all aspects of the Company’s and Subsidiary’s business affairs.  We have not conducted an independent audit of the Company, Subsidiary or their files.

The validity, binding effect and enforceability of Transaction Documents may be limited or otherwise affected by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar statutes, rules, regulations or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally and (b) the unavailability of, or limitation on the availability of, a particular right or remedy (whether in a proceeding in equity or at law) because of an equitable principle or a requirement as to commercial reasonableness, conscionability or good faith.  In addition, certain remedies, waivers and other provisions contained in the Transaction Documents might not be enforceable; nevertheless, such unenforceability will not render such agreements invalid as a whole or preclude the practical realization of the benefits to the secured party or Subscriber thereunder. We express no opinions as to the application of the laws of usury to the Transaction Documents.

 

We are members of the bar of the State of New York. We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than corporate laws of the States of New York, Delaware and Georgia (subject to the qualifications set forth in this letter) and the federal laws of the United States of America.  We express no opinion with respect to the effect or application of any other laws.  Special rulings of authorities administering any of such laws or opinions of other counsel have not been sought or obtained by us in connection with rendering the opinions expressed herein. In furnishing the opinion regarding the valid existence and good standing of the Company, we have relied solely upon a Certificate of Good Standing for the Company issued by the Secretary of State of Delaware, dated July 20, 2011 and a Certificate of Good Standing for the Subsidiary issued by the Secretary of State of Georgia on July 20, 2011.

 

  

52

  

 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated in this letter, we are of the opinion that:

1.           The Company and the Subsidiary are duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdictions of their formation.

 

2.           The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party to, and the issuance of the Notes and Warrants and the reservation and issuance of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, have been (a) duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and (b) all the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, when issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents and upon delivery, shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

3.     The Subsidiary has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Guarantee. The Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Guarantee have been duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Subsidiary.

 

4.           The execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Agreement, the Secured Convertible Promissory Note, the Warrant, the Security Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both:

 

(a)           materially violate the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company; or

 

(b)           to our knowledge, violate any judgment, decree, order or award of any court binding upon the Company.

 

5.           The execution, delivery and performance of the Security Agreement and Subsidiary Guarantee and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both:

 

(a)           materially violate the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Subsidiary; or

 

(b)           to our knowledge, violate any judgment, decree, order or award of any court binding upon the Subsidiary.

 

6.           The Transaction Documents that the Company is a party to constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and are enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms.  The Security Agreement and Subsidiary Guarantee that the Subsidiary is a party to constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Subsidiary and are enforceable against the Subsidiary in accordance with their respective terms.

 

7.           The Notes, Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or under the laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and are or will be issued pursuant to a valid exemption from registration.

 

8.           The terms and provisions of the Security Agreement create a valid security interest in favor of the Subscribers in the respective rights, title and interests of the Company and the Subsidiary in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York.  Provided that a UCC-1 Financing Statement naming the Company and the Subsidiary as debtors and the Subscribers as secured party was validly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware with respect to the Company and the Secretary of State of Georgia with respect to the Subsidiary, the Subscribers will have a perfected security interest in the Collateral which Article 9 of the New York UCC is applicable and in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement.

 

  

53

  

 

Our opinions expressed above are specifically subject to the following limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:

 

A.           The effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting the relief of debtors or the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including without limitation the effect of statutory or other law regarding fraudulent conveyances and preferential transfers.

 

B.           Limitations imposed by state law, federal law or general equitable principles upon the specific enforceability of any of the remedies, covenants or other provisions of any applicable agreement and upon the availability of injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, regardless of whether enforcement of any such agreement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

C.           This opinion letter is governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, the Legal Opinion Accord (the "Accord") of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991). As a consequence, it is subject to a number of qualifications, exceptions, definitions, limitations on coverage and other limitations, all as more particularly described in the Accord, including the General Qualifications and the Equitable Principles Limitation, and this opinion letter should be read in conjunction therewith.

 

D.           We provide no opinion with regard to the applicability of Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

With respect to the opinion expressed above, we note that the Company is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and the Subsidiary is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia. Because we are not members of the bars of the States of Delaware or Georgia and have not examined the laws of these states, we are unable to express an opinion as to matters relating to enforceability for such entity without assuming for purposes of this opinion (and we have assumed, with your permission) that such entities are a New York corporations, and that, accordingly, New York law is applicable thereto with respect to matters relating to enforceability for such entities. We do not, however, express any opinion on any aspect of the laws of the State of Delaware or Georgia, nor do we express an opinion as to whether any Delaware or Georgia law is the same as, or in any respect similar to, New York law.

This opinion is rendered as of the date first written above, is solely for your benefit in connection with the Agreement and may not be relied upon or used by, circulated, quoted, or referred to nor may any copies hereof by delivered to any other person without our prior written consent.
