2.             Investment Representation.  The Warrant Holder by accepting this Warrant represents that the Warrant Holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account or the account of an accredited investor affiliate for investment purposes and not with the view to any offering or distribution and that the Warrant Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the underlying Warrant Shares in violation of applicable securities laws.  Subject to Section 10 hereof, the Warrant Holder acknowledges that the certificates representing any Warrant Shares will bear a legend indicating that they have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and may not be sold by the Warrant Holder except pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to an exemption from registration requirements of the 1933 Act and in accordance with federal and state securities laws.

The Company further warrants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 

4.              Registration of Transfers and Exchange of Warrants.

 

a.  All or any portion of this Warrant shall be assignable or transferable by Warrant Holder to a subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner, retired partner, affiliate, member or retired member, or stockholder of a Holder that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company,  subject to such terms and conditions with respect to such assignment or transfer as Warrant Holder shall determine.

 

b. Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 12.  Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder.  The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.

 

c. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 12 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder.  Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.

 

5.              Exercise of Warrants.

 

a.  Upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto duly completed and signed to the Company, at its address set forth in Section 12, and upon payment and delivery of the Exercise Price per Warrant Share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Warrant Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in lawful money of the United States of America, in cash or by certified or official bank check or checks, to the Company, all as specified by the Warrant Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 7 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver or cause to be issued  and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on transfer described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a stock certificate for the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act.  Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise.  In connection with such exercise, the Warrant Holder, or such person so designated by the Warrant Holder in accordance with this paragraph, shall be deemed a stockholder of record with respect to the Warrant Shares purchaser pursuant to such exercise, with all rights of a stockholder, including voting rights and rights to receive dividends.

 

  

 

  

b.          A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.

 

c.          This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election To Purchase.  If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.

 

d.          Cashless Exercise. The Warrant Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

Net Number =      (A x B) — (A x C)

B

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

 

B = the closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg) on the date immediately preceding the date of the Form of Election to Purchase (the “Closing Price”).

 

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

e.          Deemed Exercise.  If, at the Expiration Date for any Warrant Shares, this Warrant has not theretofore been exercised with respect to such Warrant Shares, and the Closing Price on the business day immediately prior to the Expiration Date is greater than the Exercise Price, then the Warrant Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant in whole with respect to such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such Expiration Date and shall be deemed to have elected to pay the aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph d. (Cashless Exercise) of this Section 5, and the Date of Exercise with respect to such deemed exercise shall be the date on which such Expiration Date occurs.

 

6.             Adjustment of the Number of Shares.  The character of the shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events, and all such adjustments shall be cumulative:

 

a.           Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc.  The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities.

 

b.           Reserved

 

c.           Reserved

  

 

  

d.   Distributions of Other Property.  If, at any time while this Warrant  remains outstanding and unexpired with respect to any Warrant Shares, the Company shall distribute to all holders of Company Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding ordinary cash dividends or distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus and dividends or distributions referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 6), then, in lieu of an adjustment to the number of shares Company Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after such distribution shall be entitled to receive from the Company the stock or other securities to which the Warrant Holder would have been entitled if the Warrant Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 6.        

 

e.  Certificate as to Adjustments.  In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the number or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, or the Exercise Price, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof (but in no event later than 5 business days thereafter) to the holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

 

7.             Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.  The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented.  If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 7, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.

 

8.             Sale or Merger the Company.  The Company will give Warrant Holder 15-day written notice before the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the merger or consolidation of the Company in a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity (a “Fundamental Transaction”).  The Company shall not enter into or be party to such Fundamental Transaction unless the surviving entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Warrant Holder and approved by the Warrant Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Warrant Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the surviving entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Warrant Holder.

 

9.             Issuance of Substitute Warrant.   In the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of the Company or a reclassification of Company shares of stock, which results in an adjustment to the number of shares subject to this Warrant hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Warrant Holder a substitute Warrant reflecting the adjusted number of shares upon the surrender of this Warrant to the Company.

 

10.           Listing of Shares.   The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of Warrant Shares.

 

  

 

  

11.           Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Warrant Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant  (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

12.           Notice.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) on the date they are delivered if delivered in person; (ii) on the date initially received if delivered by facsimile transmission followed by registered or certified mail confirmation; (iii) on the date delivered by an overnight courier service; or (iv) on the third business day after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested with postage and other fees prepaid as follows:

For purposes of this Section 3.1(m), the term “ERISA Affiliate” means any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) that, together with the Company or any Subsidiary, is treated as a single employer under the provisions of Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA or Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

(ii)          Each Employee Benefit Plan has been and is currently administered in compliance with its constituent documents and all requirements (including but not limited to reporting and disclosure requirements) of ERISA, the Code and any other law applicable to such Employee Benefit Plan.  Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter, or an opinion letter on which the Company may rely, from the IRS to the effect that the Employee Benefit Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and that its related trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and there are no facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification or the imposition of any liability, penalty or tax under ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law.  Except for routine claims for benefits, no actions by any person or governmental body have been filed against any Employee Benefit Plan, the Company, or any Subsidiary and no such actions have been threatened with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.  Neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any other “party in interest” or “disqualified person” with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in any non-exempt “prohibited transaction” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code involving such Employee Benefit Plan that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to subject the Company or any Subsidiary to any liability for any tax or penalty imposed by Section 4975 of the Code or Section 501, 502 or 510 of ERISA.  To the knowledge of the Company, no fiduciary has any liability for breach of fiduciary duty or any other failure to act or comply with the requirements of ERISA, the Code or any other applicable laws in connection with the administration or investment of the assets of any Employee Benefit Plan.

 

(iii)         There are no unfunded obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary under any Employee Benefit Plan.  All contributions and premium payments required to have been made under the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan, or in accordance with ERISA, the Code or other applicable law, have been timely made.  Any and all employee contributions withheld from payroll have been timely and fully contributed to the appropriate Employee Benefit Plan as required by its constituent documents, ERISA, the Code and applicable law.  Neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to make any payments or contributions to any Employee Benefit Plan pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement or any applicable labor relations law.

The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the Company’s controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date.  The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.

Additionally, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

If an Investor effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC (if DTC is then offered by the Company and its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for deposit with DTC in accordance with its rules) in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Securities sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 (provided that in the case of a sale, transfer or assignment under Rule 144 the foregoing is not an “affiliate” of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144)), the transfer agent shall issue such Securities to the Investor, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to an Investor. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.2(d) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provisions of this Section 4.2(d), that an Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.  Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of an opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Investor.  Certificates evidencing the Securities will contain the legend set forth in Section 4.2(b) hereof, or the Investor Rights Agreement, as the case may be.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.  Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection with a subsequent transfer by the pledgee or secured party following default by such Investor or otherwise.  No notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

 

(e)           Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend at such time as an Investor has provided reasonable evidence to the Company (including any customary broker’s or selling stockholder’s letters but expressly excluding an opinion of counsel other than with respect to clauses (iii) or (iv) below), that: (i) there has been a sale of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement(s)), (ii) there has been a sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), (iii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144) provided that, upon request of the Company, such Investor provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Investor, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Commission). Following such time as restrictive legends are not required to be placed on certificates representing Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Securities containing a restrictive legend and the foregoing evidence (and opinion if applicable), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends or credit the balance account of such Investor’s or such Investor’s nominee with DTC (if DTC is then offered by the Company and its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for deposit with DTC in accordance with its rules) with a number of shares of Securities equal to the number of shares represented by the certificate so delivered by such Investor (the date by which such certificate is required to be delivered to such Investor or such shares were required to be credited to such Investor’s account with DTC (as the case may be) pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”). The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section, except as it may reasonably determine are necessary or appropriate to comply or to ensure compliance with those applicable laws that are enacted or modified after the Closing.  Each Investor acknowledges that the Company was previously an “issuer” described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to remove the restrictive legend from any certificate representing the Securities except in connection with an actual sale of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144(i)(2) or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

  

23

  

(f)           Acknowledgement.  Each Investor hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the Securities Act.  Except as otherwise provided below, while the Registration Statement remains effective, each Investor hereunder may sell the Company Shares in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the Registration Statement and if it does so it will comply therewith and with the related prospectus delivery requirements unless an exemption therefrom is available or unless the Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144.  Each Investor, severally and not jointly with the other Investors, agrees that if it is notified by the Company in writing at any time that the Registration Statement registering the resale of the Company Shares is not effective or that the prospectus included in such registration statement no longer complies with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, the Investor will refrain from selling such Company Shares until such time as the Investor is notified by the Company that such registration statement is effective or such prospectus is compliant with Section 10 of the Securities Act, unless such Investor is able to, and does, sell such Company Shares  pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

 

4.3           Form D and Blue Sky.  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D of the Securities Act.  The Company shall, on, before or after the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to, qualify the Securities for sale to the Investors at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Investors on or prior to the Closing Date.  The Company shall make all necessary filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.

  

24

  

4.4           Furnishing of Information.  Until the time that no Investor owns Securities (the “Reporting Period”), has occurred, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such termination. Without limiting any of the Company’s obligations under the Investors’ Rights Agreement, during the Reporting Period, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Investors to sell the Securities under Rule 144. Without limiting any of the Company’s obligations under the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act, including without limitation, within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.

 

4.5           Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the sale of the securities to the Investors.

 

4.6           Survival of Company Representations and Indemnification of Investors.

 

(a)           The representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3.1 and the covenant contained in Section 4.10 hereof shall survive the Closing until 30 days after the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2011; provided, however, that claims with respect (i) to fraud and (ii) breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1(b) through 3.1(g), and 3.1(i) hereof (collectively, the “Core Representations”), shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Claims for indemnification for Losses pursuant to this Section 4.6 by an Investor Party relating to breaches of representations and warranties of the Company or a breach of the covenant contained in Section 4.10, if not otherwise resolved by the parties, must be asserted by the Investor Party commencing a legal action with respect thereto prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, or the claim for Losses will be extinguished at the expiration of the applicable survival period.

 

(b)           In addition to the indemnity provided in the Investors’ Rights Agreement, but subject to the limitations contained in this Section 4.6, the Company will indemnify and hold each Investor and its directors, officers, stockholders, partners, employees, members and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, suits, penalties and fees, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of, arising out of or relating to (i) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, or (ii) any breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement, made by the Company in any Transaction Document.  In addition to the indemnity contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket legal and other expenses (including the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) as incurred in connection therewith, as promptly as practicable after such expenses are incurred and invoiced

  

25

  

(c)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be liable for Losses pursuant to clause (i) of Section 4.6(b) hereof or pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 4.6 hereof with respect to the covenant contained in Section 4.10 hereof, until the aggregate amount of Losses of all Investor Parties exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), and then the Company shall only be liable for the amount of such excess Losses; provided, however, that the limitation contained in this Section shall not apply to Losses arising out of or resulting from fraud or any breach of any Core Representation.

 

(d)           All remedies, either under the Transaction Documents, by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative and are in addition to all other rights and remedies a party may have, including any right to equitable relief and any right to sue for damages as a result of a breach of this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, no exercise of a remedy shall be deemed an election excluding any other remedy.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.6(d), claims by an Investor Party for damages or any alternative remedy relating to any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties of the Company, or breach of the covenant contained in Section 4.10 hereof (i) must be asserted prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period and in the same manner and subject to the same exceptions as provided in Section 4.6(a) for claims for indemnification for Losses, and (ii) shall be subject to the Basket on the same terms and subject to the same exceptions as provided in Section 4.6(c) for claims for indemnification for Losses.

 

4.7           [RESERVED]

 

4.8           Listing of Securities. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Registrable Securities upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents on such exchange or automated quotation system or another Trading Market. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. The Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Company Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause the Company Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and (ii) it will use reasonable best efforts to take all action that it believes is reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and to comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the applicable Trading Market. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which it believes could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on any Trading Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4.8.

  

26

  

4.9           Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Company Shares hereunder (the “Net Proceeds”) for working capital purposes, including the payment of accrued trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business.   Schedule 4.9 attached to this Agreement shall list each trade payable, accrued expense, debt, and other item in existence on the Closing Date that exceeds $25,000 and that the Company intends to pay from the Net Proceeds.  The Company will not use the Net Proceeds to pay any Company debt in existence on the Closing Date, or to redeem any Common Stock or Equivalents, or any other debt or equity securities of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or the Belgium Subsidiaries except as provided on Schedule 4.9.

 

4.10         Conduct of Business. The business of the Company, its Subsidiaries, and the Belgium Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.11         Prohibited Actions. The Company shall not without the prior consent of an Investor knowingly enter into any transaction or take any other action which would create any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or the rules promulgated thereunder by the Commission, on the part of such Investor as a consequence of having purchased the Securities under this Agreement.

6.4           Amendments; Waivers. No provision of any Transaction Document may be waived, modified or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Investors holding a majority of the Securities, provided that any party shall have the right to provide a waiver with regards to itself.  Any such amendment, modification or waiver effected in accordance hereto shall be binding upon each Investor and each future holder of all Securities of such Investor.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of any Transaction Document shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. No such amendment or waiver (unless given pursuant to the foregoing provisos) shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding.

 

6.5           Construction.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.  This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

 

6.6           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investors. Any Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the assigned or transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Investors,” in which event such assignee or transferee shall be deemed to be an Investor hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

 

6.7           No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.6 (as to each Investor Party).

 

6.8           Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the Delaware Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such Delaware Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.

  

30

  

6.9           Survival.  Except as provided in Section 4.6 hereof, the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.  Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

6.13        Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

  

31

  

6.14         Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the parties hereto will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.  The Company therefore agrees that the Investors shall be entitled to specific performance and temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or any other type of security.

 

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

 

6.16         Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Investor under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document.  The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor.
