No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with respect to any Plan (as defined below) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is or would be materially adverse to the Company and its subsidiaries.

(ee)           No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any subsidiary nor any of its or their affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act that would prevent the Company from selling the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares to be integrated with other offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement pending but not yet effective before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review and except as set forth on Schedule 2.01(ee) hereto, since January 1, 2009, the Company has not offered or sold any of its equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock.

(gg)         Independent Nature of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that to the best of its knowledge, the decision of each Purchaser to purchase securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its subsidiaries that may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

To the best of Company’s knowledge, such insurance contracts and policies are valid and in full force and effect. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

 

(jj)           Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Warrants or the Conversion Shares and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Preferred Shares, the Warrants and the Conversion Shares.

 

(kk)          Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

 

(ll)            Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is not disclosed in its financial statements that should be disclosed in accordance with GAAP and that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(mm)        Manipulation of Price. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result, in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares or (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares.

 

 

(nn)          No Disagreements with Accountants. There are no unresolved disagreements regarding the Company’s accounting policies presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants formerly or presently employed by the Company. The Company’s accountants are set forth in the Schedule 2.01(nn) hereto. To the Company’s knowledge, such accountants are an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act.

 

(oo)          Material Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company has not provided any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information.

 

(pp)          Solvency.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2.01(pp) hereto, the Company has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

 

Section 2.02           Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company with respect solely to itself and not with respect to any other Purchaser:

 

(a)           Organization and Standing of the Purchasers.

(b)           Authorization and Power. Each Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Preferred Shares and Warrants being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is required. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

(c)           Purchase For Own Account. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Shares and the Warrants solely for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell the Preferred Shares or the Warrants, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of the Preferred Shares or the Warrants to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein and subject to Section 2.02(g) below, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Preferred Shares or the Warrants for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Preferred Shares or the Warrants at any time in accordance with federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and that it has been given full access to such records of the Company and its subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and received such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

 

 

(d)           Status of Purchasers. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer.

 

(e)           Opportunities for Additional Information. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, or obtain additional information from, the executive officers of the Company concerning the financial and other affairs of the Company, and to the extent deemed necessary in light of such Purchaser’s personal knowledge of the Company’s affairs, such Purchaser has asked such questions and received answers to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser, and such Purchaser desires to invest in the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.

 

(f)            No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Preferred Shares and the Warrants were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.

 

(g)           Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that the Preferred Shares, the Warrants and the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless such Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

 

 

(h)           General. Such Purchaser understands that the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares.

 

(i)            Governmental Review.  The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Common Stock.

 

(j)            Independent Investment. Except as may be disclosed in any filings with the Commission by the Purchasers under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares.

 

 

The Company covenants with the Purchasers as follows (subject to the provisions of Section 7.03 hereof), which covenants are for the benefit of the Purchasers and their permitted assignees (as defined herein).

 

Section 3.01           Securities Compliance. The Company shall notify the Commission in accordance with its rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, including filing a Form D with respect to the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares as required under Regulation D, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Warrants and the Conversion Shares to the Purchasers or subsequent holders. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to be taken on or before the Closing Date in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares for sale to the Purchasers 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 Purchasers on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.

 

 

Section 3.02           Registration. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 to register all of the Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares.  Such registration statement shall cover to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares. The Company shall (i) not permit any securities other than the Conversion Shares, Dividend Shares and any shares of Common Stock that were issued or are issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined in Section 4.02(d) hereof) to be included in the registration statement and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, and to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares covered by such registration statement have been sold or (y) the date on which all Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares may be sold without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the Company’s transfer agent to such effect. If at any time and for any reason, an additional registration statement is required to be filed because at such time the actual number of shares of Common Stock payable as Dividend Shares, the actual number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares are convertible and the actual number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are exercisable exceeds the number of shares of Conversion Shares and Dividend Shares remaining under the registration statement, the Company shall have twenty (20) calendar days to file an additional registration statement, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such additional registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as possible, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after filing.

 

Section 3.03           Reporting Obligations and Sales of Unregistered Securities.  So long as any Purchaser holds any Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares, the Company shall comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein.  Subject to Section 3.02 and the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares, without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Upon the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

Section 3.04           Listing.  So long as any Purchaser holds any Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares, the Company shall use its best efforts to have its Common Stock (including the Conversion Shares) approved for trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board automated quotation system maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (the “OTCBB”) and, upon any such approval, to take all action necessary to continue the listing or trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTCBB. Furthermore, upon the Company satisfying the initial listing standards of either the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Company shall use its best efforts to have its Common Stock (including the Conversion Shares) approved for trading on either the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market, as the case may be, and, upon any such approval, to take all action necessary to continue the listing or trading of the Company’s Common Stock on one of these three national exchanges.

 

 

Section 3.05           Inspection Rights. So long as any Purchaser holds any Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares, the Company shall permit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser or any employees, agents or representatives thereof, for purposes reasonably related to such Purchaser’s interests as a stockholder, to examine and make reasonable copies of and extracts from the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the properties, assets, operations and business of the Company and any subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees.

 

Section 3.06          Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause each subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance with which could have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 3.07           Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause each subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.

 

Section 3.08           Reporting Requirements. So long as any Purchaser holds any Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares, if the Commission ceases making periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act available via the Internet, then at a Purchaser’s request the Company shall furnish the following to such Purchaser:

 

(a)           Quarterly Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-Q as soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) days after the document is filed with the Commission;

 

(b)           Annual Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-K as soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) days after the document is filed with the Commission; and

 

(c)           Copies of all notices and information, including, without limitation, notices and proxy statements in connection with any meetings, that are provided to holders of shares of Common Stock, contemporaneously with the delivery of such notices or information to such holders of Common Stock.

 

Section 3.09           Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Certificate or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would adversely affect the liquidation preferences, dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights or redemption rights of the Preferred Shares; provided, however, that (i) any other class or series of equity securities which by its terms shall rank pari passu or senior to the Preferred Shares may be created and issued with the prior written consent of the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Preferred Shares then outstanding and (ii) any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) or any other class or series of equity securities which by its terms shall rank junior to the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges.

 

 

Section 3.10           Other Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability to perform of the Company or any subsidiary under any Transaction Document.

 

Section 3.11           Distributions. So long as any Purchaser holds any Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company (other than repurchases from employees of the Company not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate amount per fiscal year, or provided that all dividends have been paid upon the Preferred Shares, repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act of up to $50,000 per fiscal year).

 

Section 3.12           Status of Dividends. The Company covenants and agrees that (i) in no report to stockholders or to any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or otherwise will it treat the Preferred Shares other than as equity capital or the dividends paid thereon other than as dividends paid on equity capital unless required to do so by a governmental body having jurisdiction over the accounts of the Company or by a change in GAAP required as a result of action by an authoritative accounting standards setting body and (ii) it will take no action that would result in the dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits being ineligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code. The preceding sentence shall not be deemed to prevent the Company from designating the Preferred Stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock” in its annual and quarterly financial statements. In the event that the Purchasers have reasonable cause to believe that dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be treated as eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision, the Company will, at the reasonable request of the Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Preferred Shares, join with the Purchasers in the submission to the IRS of a request for a ruling that dividends paid on the Preferred Shares will be so eligible for federal income tax purposes. In addition, the Company will reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers in any litigation, appeal or other proceeding challenging or contesting any ruling, technical advice, finding or determination that earnings and profits are not eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision to the extent that the position to be taken in any such litigation, appeal, or other proceeding is not contrary to any provision of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude the Company from claiming a deduction with respect to such dividends if (i) the Code shall hereafter be amended, or final Treasury regulations thereunder are issued or modified, to provide that dividends on the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares should not be treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes or that a deduction with respect to all or a portion of the dividends on the Preferred Shares is allowable for federal income tax purposes or (ii) in the absence of such an amendment, issuance or modification and after a submission of a request for ruling or technical advice, the IRS shall issue a published ruling or advise that dividends on the Preferred Shares should not be treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes. If the IRS specifically determines that the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims for refund.

 

 

Section 3.13           Use of Proceeds. The net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares shall be used by the Company for research and development expense, sales and marketing expense, and inventory purchases, as set forth on Schedule 3.13 hereto; provided, however, the net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares hereunder shall not be used to redeem any Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock or to settle any outstanding litigation.

 

Section 3.14           Reservation of Shares. So long as any Purchaser holds any Preferred Shares or Warrants, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares.

 

Section 3.15           Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares, in such denominations as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). A copy of the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, acknowledged in writing by the Company’s transfer agent, shall be delivered to the Purchasers within seven (7) calendar days following the Closing Date.  Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.01 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.15 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Preferred Shares, Warrants and Conversion Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.15 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.15 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.15, that the Purchasers 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.

 

 

Section 3.16           Disposition of Assets. So long as any Purchaser holds any Preferred Shares, neither the Company nor any subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except (i) for sales to customers in the ordinary course of business, (ii) for sales or leases of permanently retired, obsolete or worn out assets or assets no longer used or useful in the business or (iii) with the prior written consent of the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Preferred Shares then outstanding.

 

Section 3.17           Reverse Stock Split.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Preferred Shares and Conversion Shares may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock.

Section 3.22           Subsequent Financings.

 

(a)           For a period of one (1) year following the following the Closing Date, the Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5) days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a “Rights Notice”) each Purchaser of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to, or exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party (a “Subsequent Financing”), of Common Stock or any debt or equity securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock; provided, however, that prior to delivering a Rights Notice to each Purchaser, the Company shall first deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of the Company’s intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”) within three (3) Trading Days of receiving an applicable offer, which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing. Each Purchaser must notify the Company within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of the Pre-Notice that such Purchaser elects to review the details of such financing (“Pre-Notice Acceptance”). Upon the Company’s receipt of a Pre-Notice Acceptance, and only upon the Company’s receipt of a Pre-Notice Acceptance, the Company shall promptly, but no later than two (2) Trading Days after such receipt, deliver a Rights Notice to such Purchaser. The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the names and investment amounts of all investors participating in the Subsequent Financing (if known at such time), the proposed closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the Rights Notice, and all of the terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith. The Rights Notice shall provide each Purchaser an option (the “Rights Option”) during the ten (10) Trading Days following delivery of the Rights Notice (the “Option Period”) to inform the Company whether such Purchaser will purchase up to its pro rata portion of all or a portion of the securities being offered in such Subsequent Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions as contemplated by such Subsequent Financing. If any Purchaser elects not to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the other Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis so long as such participation in the aggregate does not exceed the aggregate Purchase Price of all Purchasers hereunder. For purposes of this Section, all references to “pro rata” means, for any Purchaser electing to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the number of Preferred Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing by (y) the total number of all of the Preferred Shares purchased by all of the participating Purchasers at the Closing. Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty by the Company that there are no other material terms and conditions, arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights Notice, to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, additional compensation based on changes in the purchase price or any type of reset or adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company does not receive notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Purchasers within the Option Period, the Company shall have the right to close the Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third party; provided that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are the same as those provided to the Purchasers in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur on that date, any closing of the contemplated Subsequent Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Section 3.22(a), including, without limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section 3.22(a) shall not apply to issuances of securities in a Permitted Financing (as defined hereinafter).

 

 

(b)           Except for a Permitted Financing, the Company shall not enter into any Subsequent Financing for a period of ninety (90) days following the effective date of any initial registration statement.

 

(c)           For purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Financing shall not be considered a Subsequent Financing. A “Permitted Financing” shall mean (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date of this Agreement or issued pursuant to this Agreement (so long as the conversion or exercise price of such securities are not amended to lower such price, except as a result of stock dividends, subdivisions or combinations, and/or adversely affect the Purchasers), (iii) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (iv) shares of Common Stock issued for consideration per share of at least $1.75 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction) or options with an exercise price of at least $1.75 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction), in each case, issued to employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose and (v) the payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares in shares of Common Stock or additional Preferred Shares.

 

(d)           So long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Financing involving a “Variable Rate Transaction”. The term “Variable Rate Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock 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 debt or equity 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 debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.

Section 3.24           Integration.  The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no affiliate of the Company shall, 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 Preferred Shares and Warrants in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants to the Purchasers.

 

Section 3.25           Directors and Officers Insurance. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain directors and officers insurance of at least $2 million from an insurance company acceptable to the Purchasers and shall maintain such insurance coverage for so long as any Purchaser holds any Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares.

The Company shall maintain such key man life insurance coverage until the earlier of (a) the election by the holders of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Preferred Shares then outstanding to terminate such coverage or (b) such time as the Purchasers do not hold any Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares.

THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

     The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.01, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.01 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Conversion Shares is then in effect), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement) provided that the Company and the Company’s transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system.

 

 

Section 5.02           Liquidated Damages. In addition to such Purchasers’ other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $2,000 of Conversion Shares (based on the VWAP (as defined hereinafter) of the Common Stock on the date such securities are submitted to the transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 5.01, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the legend removal date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchasers’ rights to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

For purposes hereof, “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market (as defined hereinafter), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time); (b)  if the OTCBB is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTCBB; (c) if the Common Stock is not then quoted for trading on the OTCBB and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an Independent Appraiser (as such term is defined in the Class A Warrant) selected in good faith by the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 

For purposes hereof, “Trading Market” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE Amex Equities, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTCBB.

 

 

 

Section 6.01           General Indemnity.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.  Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser herein. The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.

 

Section 6.02           Indemnification Procedure.  Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will not contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim.  In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder.  The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.  The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.  No indemnifying party will be liable to the indemnified party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the indemnified party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.  To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by an indemnifying party is unenforceable for any reason, the indemnifying party will make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

 

 

 

Section 7.01           Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisors, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses, incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, provided however, that the Company shall pay all actual attorneys’ fees and expenses (including disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Purchasers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereunder up to an aggregate amount equal to $45,000.  The Company shall pay all stamp or other similar taxes and duties levied in connection with issuance of the Preferred Shares, Warrants, and Conversion Shares pursuant hereto.

Each of the Company and the Purchasers consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof 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.

Further, the Company shall not make any payments or issue any securities to the Purchasers in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective numbers of outstanding Preferred Shares held by any Purchasers at any applicable time.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Preferred Shares, Warrants or Conversion Shares or otherwise.

 

Section 7.17           Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.  The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive it from paying all or any portion of payments relating to the Preferred Shares, the Warrants and the Conversion Shares, or which may affect the covenants under, or the performance of, any of the Transaction Documents; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to any Purchaser herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Reference is made to that certain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of September __, 2009, by and among ActiveCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Purchasers shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, (the “Preferred Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”). This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) and exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) to or upon the order of a Purchaser from time to time upon (i) surrender to you of a properly completed and duly executed Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, as the case may be, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and Exhibit II, respectively, (ii) in the case of the conversion of Preferred Shares, a copy of the certificates (with the original certificates delivered to the Company) representing Preferred Shares being converted or, in the case of Warrants being exercised, a copy of the Warrants (with the original Warrants delivered to the Company) being exercised (or, in each case, an indemnification undertaking with respect to such share certificates or the warrants in the case of their loss, theft or destruction), and (iii) delivery of a treasury order or other appropriate order duly executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. So long as you have previously received (x) written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and no subsequent notice by the Company or its counsel of the suspension or termination of its effectiveness and (y) a copy of such registration statement, and if the Purchaser represents in writing that the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, were sold pursuant to such registration statement, then certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction. Provided, however, that if you have not previously received those items and representations listed above, then the certificates for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:

Re: ActiveCare, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel to ActiveCare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of September __, 2009, by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, (the “Preferred Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

 

On  __________________, 2009, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-                    ) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the resale of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) and / or shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) which names each of the present Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder.

 

     In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and accordingly, the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, as applicable, are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
