The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) in accordance with the Securities Act as soon as practicable after it is obligated to pursuant to one of the events described above in this Section 7.9 (“Registration Event”), (b) have the Registration Statement declared effective by SEC under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 90 days after the Registration Event, (c) to respond to comments of the SEC (if any) in connection with that filing, and (d) take all action necessary or appropriate to obtain all permits, approvals, and registrations under applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws to ensure that Redmond’s sale of the Redmond Shares complies with those laws.  The Company shall promptly notify Redmond, after it receives the information, of the time when the Registration Statement becomes effective or any supplement or amendment to it is filed with the SEC, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, any request by the SEC for amendment of the Registration Statement, or any comments by the SEC on the Registration Statement, requests by the SEC for additional information, and all responses to SEC comments or requests for additional information.

(c)

grants or issues to anyone any right, option, warrant, or other agreement to purchase, subscribe for, or otherwise acquire any shares of its Common Stock (“Derivative Securities”) without consideration or at an exercise price lower than the Closing Price;

then, in each case, the Company shall issue to each holder of Advance Shares within ten days after the occurrence of the Share Adjustment Event additional shares of the Common Stock determined by the following formula:

NCS    =

[(CSO + CSP) ÷ (CSO + CSAP)] x CS - CS

Where:

 

 

 

 

 

 

All share adjustment calculations under this Section are to be rounded up to the nearest one hundredth of a share.

 

An issuance of Convertible Securities that are convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock without consideration will constitute for purposes of this Section an issuance of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable on the exchange or conversion of the Convertible Securities, effective as of the date when the Convertible Securities are sold or issued.  Similarly, a grant or issuance of Derivative Securities to purchase, subscribe for, or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock without consideration will constitute for purposes of this Section an issuance of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Derivative Securities, effective as of the date when the Derivative Securities were granted or issued.  No further adjustment will be required on the subsequent actual issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the Derivative Securities or the exchange or conversion of the Convertible Securities.

The parties to this Agreement may execute this Agreement in counterparts by manual or facsimile signature.  Each executed counterpart of this Agreement will constitute an original document, and all executed counterparts, collectively, will constitute the same agreement.

This Agreement records the entire understanding among the parties regarding the Transactions and supersedes any previous or contemporaneous agreement, understanding, or representation, oral or written, by any of them.  The terms of the other Financing Documents are an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended or should be construed to confer or grant to any person, except the parties to this Agreement and their respective assignees and successors in interest (by operation of law or otherwise), any claim, right, remedy, or privilege under, or because of, this Agreement or any provision of it.

The parties (a) consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts having jurisdiction over Pinellas County, Florida, (b) stipulate that the proper, exclusive, and convenient venues for all legal proceedings arising out of this Agreement are the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, Florida, for state court proceedings, and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida - Tampa Division, for federal court proceedings, and (c) waive any defense, whether asserted by motion or pleading, that those venues are improper or inconvenient.  In any lawsuit arising out of this Agreement, the losing party shall reimburse the prevailing party, on demand, for all costs incurred by the prevailing party in enforcing, defending, or prosecuting the lawsuit.

This Agreement is not assignable (by operation of law or otherwise) by any party without the advance written approval of all other parties to this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding on each party’s assignees and successors in interest (by operation of law or otherwise) and inure to the benefit of each party’s authorized assignees and successors in interest.

An amendment, extension, or modification of this Agreement or any provision of it will be valid and effective only if it is signed by all the parties to this Agreement.  A waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid and effective only if it is evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of the party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced.  At any time on or before the Closing Date, and regardless of whether this Agreement has been approved by any third party or by the members, managers, partners, trustees, shareholders, or board of directors of a party to this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement may in writing: (a) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations or other actions of the other parties; (b) waive any inaccuracies of the representations or warranties of the other parties contained in this Agreement; (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants of the other parties contained in this Agreement; (d) waive performance of any of the obligations of the other parties created under this Agreement; or (e) waive any of the conditions precedent to its own obligations under this Agreement.  No delay or course of dealing by a party to this Agreement in exercising a power, right, or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of any power, right, or remedy of that party, except to the extent expressly manifested in a writing signed by or on behalf of that party.  In addition, the written waiver by a party of a power, right, or remedy under any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any succeeding exercise of the power, right, or remedy or a waiver of the provision itself.

Any notice, demand, waiver, consent, approval, or other communication that is required or permitted to be given to any party under this Agreement will be validly given and delivered only if it is in writing (whether or not this Agreement expressly provides for it to be in writing), delivered personally or sent by fax, email, commercial courier, or first-class, postage prepaid, United States mail (whether or not certified or registered, and whether or not a return receipt is requested or received by the sender) to the appropriate party  at its fax number, email address, or street address that is listed below or that is designated by the party after Closing by a notice to all the other parties to this Agreement that is validly given in accordance with the provisions of this Section:
