The execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Documents will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any Lien upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. The sale of the Preferred Shares, the issuance of the Warrant and the subsequent issuance of the Underlying Securities are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with.

5.2 Form D; Blue Sky Laws. Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Units as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Purchaser promptly after such filing. Company shall take such action as Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchaser at the applicable 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 Purchaser on or prior to the initial closing.

 

5.3 Registration Rights.

 

(a) Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), file with the SEC a Registration Statement under the Securities Act on appropriate form covering the resale of the full amount of the Underlying Securities (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), which shall be either (i) in the event that the SEC does not review the Registration Statement, ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, or (ii) in the event that the SEC reviews the Registration Statement, one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing Date (but in any event, no later than two (2) Business Days from the SEC indicating that it has no further comments on the Registration Statement).

 

(b) Limitation on Registrable Securities. In the event that the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) determines that the full amount of the Registrable Securities cannot be registered on the Registration Statement due to limitations under Rule 415 of the Securities Act, then Company shall: (i) register the resale of that portion of the Registrable Securities as the Staff may permit under its interpretations of Rule 415, and (ii) undertake to register the remaining portion of the Registrable Securities as soon as registration would be permitted under Rule 415, as determined by the Company in good faith based on the Staff’s publicly available interpretations of Rule 415.

 

 

(c) Related Obligations. At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 5.3(a) hereof, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(i) The Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Purchaser may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) the date on which the Purchaser shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall 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 (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading.

 

(ii) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.

 

(iii) The Company shall furnish to the Purchaser without charge,

(i) promptly after the Registration Statement including the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Purchaser, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Purchaser may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities.

 

 

(iv) The Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to the Purchaser (or such other number of copies as the Purchaser may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Purchaser in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post- effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post- effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Purchaser by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

 

(v) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Purchaser who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(vi) If the Purchaser is required under applicable securities law to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, at the reasonable request of the Purchaser, the Company shall furnish to the Purchaser, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as the Purchaser may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Purchaser, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Purchaser.

 

(vii) If the Purchaser is required under applicable securities law to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, upon the written request of the Purchaser in connection with the Purchaser’s due diligence requirements, if any, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the Purchaser and its legal counsel and (ii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Purchaser (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector solely for the purpose of establishing a due diligence defense under underwriter liability under the Securities Act, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to the Purchaser) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other Transaction Document. The Purchaser agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and the Purchaser) shall be deemed to limit the Purchaser’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

 

 

(viii) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Purchaser provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Purchaser is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Purchaser and allow the Purchaser, at the Purchaser’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

 

(ix) The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Purchaser may reasonably request and registered in such name as the Purchaser may request.

 

(x) If requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Purchaser reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as practicable make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as practicable, supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by the Purchaser.

 

(xi) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

(xii) The Company shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

 

(xiii) Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement that covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Purchaser) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.

(xiv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Purchaser in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Purchaser) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Purchaser in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that the Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of thirty (30) Trading Days during any 365-day period and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least fifteen (15) days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Purchaser receives the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Purchaser receives the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 5.3(c)(v) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 5.3(c)(iv) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended Common Shares to a transferee of any Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a Purchaser has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration Statement (unless an exemption from such prospectus delivery requirement exists), prior to the Purchaser’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Purchaser has not yet settled.

 

 

(xv) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify the Purchaser as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC or any applicable Trading Market and the Purchaser being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement and any other documents or instruments executed and delivered in connection with the Agreement.

 

(d) Obligations of the Purchaser.

 

(i) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the information the Company requires from the Purchaser in order to have that Purchaser’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Purchaser that the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(ii) Each Purchaser, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of the Purchaser’s election to exclude all of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

 

 

(iii) Each Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5.3(c)(v) or the first sentence of 5.3(c)(iv), the Purchaser will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Purchaser’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.3(c)(v) or the first sentence of 5.3(c)(iv) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended Common Shares to a transferee of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Purchaser has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Purchaser’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5.3(c)(v) or the first sentence of 5.3(c)(iv) and for which the Purchaser has not yet settled.

 

(iv) Each Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement

 

(e) Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 5.3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

 

(f) Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees to:

 

(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, during the Reporting Period;

 

(ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

 

(iii) furnish to the Purchaser so long as the Purchaser owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request during the Reporting Period, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and

(iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Purchaser to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

 

(g) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights under Section 5.3 shall be automatically assignable by a Purchaser to any transferee of all or any portion of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement.

 

(h) Indemnification.

 

(i) Company Indemnification. The Company will indemnify the Purchaser (if Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected), each of its officers and directors, partners, members and each person controlling the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on (A) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such Registration Statement, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or (B) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, and in each case, the Company will reimburse the Purchaser, each of its officers and directors, partners, members and each person controlling the Purchaser, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on (X) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by the Purchaser or controlling person, and stated to be specifically for use therein, (Y) the use by a Purchaser of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified the Purchaser in writing that the prospectus is outdated or defective or (Z) a Purchaser’s (or any other indemnified person’s) failure to send or give a copy of the prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required, pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such person if such statement or omission was corrected in such prospectus or supplement; provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.3(h)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 

 

(ii) Purchaser Indemnification. The Purchaser will, if Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser are included in the securities as to which such registration is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, other holders of the Company’s securities covered by such Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each such holder, each of its officers and directors and each person controlling such holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (A) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by the Purchaser and stated to be specifically for use therein, or (B) any violation by the Purchaser of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws applicable to the Purchaser, and in each case, the Purchaser will reimburse the Company, each other holder, and directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons of the Company and the other holders for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Subsection 5.3(h)(ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of such indemnifying Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The liability of any Purchaser for indemnification under this Section 5.3(h)(ii) in its capacity as a seller of Registrable Securities shall not exceed the amount of net proceeds to the Purchaser of the securities sold in any such registration.

 

(iii) Notice and Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.3(h) (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or there are separate and different defenses. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

 

(iv) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.3(h) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the untrue statement or omission that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Purchaser hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Purchaser. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any loss, claim, damage or liability shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.3(h) was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

(v) Survival. The obligations of the Company and the Purchaser under this Section 5.3(h) shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5.3(h) are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of other remedies or causes of action that the parties may have under the this Agreement and any other documents or instruments executed and delivered in connection with the Agreement.

 

5.4 Legal Counsel Opinions.

 

Upon the request of the Purchaser from time to time, Company shall be responsible (at its cost) for promptly supplying to Company’s transfer agent and the Purchaser a customary legal opinion letter of its counsel (the “Legal Counsel Opinion”) to the effect that the resale of the Underlying Securities by the Purchaser or its affiliates, successors and assigns is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 (provided the requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied and provided the Underlying Securities are not then registered under the Securities Act for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement). Should Company’s legal counsel fail for any reason to issue the Legal Counsel Opinion, the Lead Purchaser may (at Company’s cost) secure another legal counsel to issue the Legal Counsel Opinion, and Company will instruct its transfer agent to accept such opinion. Company shall not impede the removal by its stock transfer agent of the restricted legend from any common stock certificate upon receipt by the transfer agent of a Rule 144 Opinion Letter. COMPANY HEREBY AGREES THAT IT MAY NEVER TAKE THE POSITION THAT IT IS A “SHELL COMPANY” IN CONNECTION WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS SOUGHT THE ADVICE OF ITS COUNSEL AND ITS COUNSEL HAS INDICATED THAT IT MUST TAKE SUCH POSITION AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW.

 

5.5 Listing. Company will, so long as the Purchaser owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Shares on the OTCQB or any equivalent exchange or electronic quotation system or a national securities exchange and will comply in all respects with Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and such exchanges, as applicable, as well as with the SEC. Company shall promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of any notices it receives from the OTCQB and any other exchanges or electronic quotation systems on which the Common Shares are then traded regarding the continued eligibility of the common stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.

 

 

5.6 Information and Observer Rights.

 

(a) As long as the Purchaser owns at least five percent (5%) of the Securities originally purchased hereunder, Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by Company pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as the Purchaser owns at least five percent (5%) of the Securities originally purchased hereunder, if Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and simultaneously make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144. Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchaser to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

 

(b) As long as the Lead Investor owns at least five percent (5%) of the Securities originally purchased by the Lead Investor, if the Lead Investor notifies Company in writing (including by electronic mail) that it wishes to attend meetings of Company’s Board of Directors and that it acknowledges that it will receive material nonpublic information and consents to the same, Company shall invite a designated representative of the Lead Investor to attend all meetings of Company’s Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, and subject to the Lead Investor having informed Company that it wishes to attend, Company shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors at the same time and in the same manner as provided to such directors; provided, however, that such representative shall agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; and provided further, that Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such representative from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between Company and its counsel or result in disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest. For avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not provide Lead Investor any material non-public information unless specifically requested by Lead Investor.

 

5.7 Confidentiality. The Purchaser agrees that it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including notice of Company’s intention to file a registration statement), unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 5.7 by the Purchaser), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Purchaser without use of the Company’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Purchaser by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that the Purchaser may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Securities from the Purchaser, if such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5.7; (iii) to any existing or prospective affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser in the ordinary course of business, provided that the Purchaser informs such person that such information is confidential and directs such person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, provided that the Purchaser notifies the Company within three (3) Business Days of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.

 

 

5.8 Restrictions on Activities. Commencing as of the date first above written, and so long as Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, without the Lead Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (a) change the nature of its business; (b) sell, divest, change the structure of any material assets other than in the ordinary course of business unless as a result of such sale, divestiture or change, the use of proceeds is to redeem the Securities; (c) solicit any offers for, respond to any unsolicited offers for, or conduct any negotiations with any other person or entity in respect of any variable rate debt transactions (i.e., transactions where the conversion or exercise price of the security issued by the Company varies based on the market price of the common stock); or (d) accept a Merchant-Cash-Advance in which it sells future receivables at a discount or any other factoring transactions, or similar financing instruments or financing transactions, whether a transaction similar to the one contemplated hereby or any other investment.

 

5.9 Other Restrictions. Unless approved in writing by the Lead Purchaser, Company and each Subsidiary shall not enter into an agreement or amend an existing agreement to effect any sale of securities involving, or convert any securities previously issued under, a Variable Rate Transaction or a merchant cash advance transaction in which it sells future receivables at a discount, or a substantially similar transaction. The term “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which Company or any Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any convertible securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of, or quotations for, the shares of common stock at any time after the initial issuance of such convertible securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such convertible securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, or the market for the common stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” or “full-ratchet” anti-dilution provision, or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an “equity line of credit” or an “at- the-market offering”) whereby Company or any Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights). The Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against Company and its Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

 

 

5.10 Sale of Assets; Issuance of Equity or Debt. The Company shall not sell any material assets or any securities of the following Subsidiaries: 1847 Neese Inc., 1847 Asien Inc., 1847 Cabinet Inc. and WOLO following its acquisition by the Company, in each case, unless all of the proceeds of such sale are first used to redeem the Preferred Shares then outstanding.

 

5.11 Participation Rights. For a period of twelve (12) months from the date hereof, in the event Company, WOLO or any other Subsidiary of the Company existing on the date hereof, proposes to offer and sell any of its securities (“New Securities”), whether in the form of debt, Equity Financing (defined below), or any other financing transaction (each a “Future Offering”), the Lead Purchaser (but not any other Purchaser) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the Future Offering in an amount up to the aggregate amount of the Lead Purchaser’s investment in the Securities hereunder (the “Participation Right”). For the avoidance of doubt, an “Equity Financing” shall mean Company’s sale of its Common Shares or any securities conferring the right to purchase Company’s Common Shares or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for (with or without additional consideration), Common Shares. The Participation Right shall not apply to Excluded Issuances (as defined below). In connection with each Participation Right, Company shall provide written notice to the Lead Purchaser of the terms and conditions of the Future Financing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated first closing of such Future Financing (the “FF Notice”). If the Lead Purchaser shall elect to exercise its Participation Right, it shall notify Company, in writing, of such election within five days (the “Participation Notice”). In the event the Lead Purchaser does not return a Participation Notice to Company within such five (5) day period, the Participation Right granted hereunder shall terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that such Participation Right shall be reinstated if the anticipated closing referenced in the FF Notice does not occur within sixty days of the Lead Purchaser’s receipt of the FF Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, “Excluded Issuance” means (i) New Securities issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans or other compensation arrangements; (ii) New Securities issuable upon a stock split, stock dividend, or any subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock; (iii) New Securities issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing or similar transaction; (iv) New Securities issued to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services; (v) New Securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another person by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement; and (vi) New Securities issued in connection with collaboration, technology license, development, marketing or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships.

 

 

5.12 Terms of Future Financings. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Lead Purchaser, so long as the Purchaser holds any of the Preferred Shares, upon any issuance of (or announcement of intent to effect an issuance of) any security, or amendment to (or announcement of intent to effect an amendment to) any security that was originally issued before the issue date, by the Company, with any term that the Purchaser reasonably believes is more favorable to the holder of such security than, or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that the Purchaser reasonably believes was not similarly provided, to the Purchaser in the Subscription Documents, then (i) the Company shall notify the Purchaser of such additional or more favorable term within five (5) Business Days of the new issuance and/or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, which notice may include the filing of a current report on Form 8-K that discloses the issuance of such new security, and (ii) such term, at Purchaser’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Purchaser (regardless of whether the Company complied with the notification provision of this Section 5.12). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the purchaser of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage. If Purchaser elects to have the term become a part of the transaction documents with the Purchaser, then the Company shall immediately deliver to the Purchaser acknowledgment of such adjustment and/or shall take such further action as the Purchaser may reasonably require (including executing and delivering amendments to applicable transaction documents) to implement such adjustments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser (the “Acknowledgment”) within five (5) Business Days of Company’s receipt of request from Purchaser (the “Adjustment Deadline”), provided that Company’s failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.

 

5.13 Breach of Covenants. The Company acknowledges and agrees that if the Company breaches any covenants set forth in this Section 5, in addition to any other remedies available to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of Default under the Designation.

 

5.14 Transfer Agent Instructions. Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to Company’s transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Purchaser or its nominee, upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants, in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Purchaser to Company in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve sufficient Common Shares for issuance upon any conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants) signed by the successor transfer agent to the Company and the Purchaser. Prior to registration of the Underlying Securities under the Securities Act or the date on which the Underlying Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 4.9 of this Agreement or a similar legend prescribed by the Company’s transfer agent. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5.14 will be given by Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Units; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Common Shares to be issued to the Purchaser upon exercise of the Warrants or conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Preferred Shares as and when required by the Designation and this Agreement; (iii) it will not fail to remove (or direct its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or hinder its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Common Shares issued to the Purchaser upon exercise of the Warrants or conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to the Preferred Shares as and when required by the Designation and this Agreement and (iv) it will provide any required corporate resolutions and issuance approvals to its transfer agent within one (1) Business Day of each conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Purchaser’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.3 hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Purchaser provides Company, at the cost of Company, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Purchaser provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Securities, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Purchaser. Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Purchaser, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5.14 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

 

5.15 Monitoring Fee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Designation) or a material breach of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Lead Purchaser a monthly monitoring fee (the “Monitoring Fee”) in the amount of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per month commencing in the month in which the Event of Default or material breach of this Agreement occurs and continuing until the Event of Default or material breach of this Agreement is cured.

 

5.16 Compliance with 1934 Act; Public Information Failures. For so long as the Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall comply with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act and shall continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act. During the period that the Purchaser beneficially owns the Securities, if the Company shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2), and, in either such case, the Purchaser is otherwise unable to sell any of the Securities owned by the Purchaser because such shares are not otherwise freely transferrable (each, a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to the Purchaser by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available pursuant to this Agreement, the Units, or at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price on each day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30^th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until the date such Public Information Failure is cured, but subject to a cap of ten percent (10%). The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 5.16 are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.

 

5.17 Further Assurances. Each of the Purchaser and the Company agrees and covenants that at any time and from time to time it will execute and deliver to the other party such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the other party may reasonably require within three (3) Business Days of any such request in order to carry out the full intent and purpose of this Agreement and to comply with state or federal securities laws or other regulatory approvals.
