The foregoing parties are sometimes referred to hereinafter individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”

 

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Subscription Application of the Purchaser of even date herewith (each a “Subscription Application”), and pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, the Company desires to sell to the Purchaser and the Purchaser desires to acquire from the Company that number of units of the Company’s securities (the “Units”) as are set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page annexed hereto, at a price of $25,000 per Unit, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other documents or instruments contemplated hereby (the “Offering”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

 

Section 1. Sale and Issuance of Units.

At the Closing, the Company shall sell and issue to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, the number of Units set forth on the Purchaser’s signature page hereto. The Company intends to enter into this same form of purchase agreement with certain other purchasers (collectively, the “Other Purchasers”) and expects to complete sales of Units to them. The maximum number of Units that the Company may sell to the Purchaser and Other Purchasers combined is 160. The Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are expressly not subject to or conditioned on the purchase of Units by any or all of such Other Purchasers.

The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded access and the opportunity to obtain all financial and other information concerning the Company that such Purchaser desires (including the opportunity to meet with the Company’s executive officers, either in person or telephonically).

The Purchaser further acknowledges that it is familiar with the contents of the Filings and the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, the risk factors contained in the Registration Statement, and that there is no further information about the Company that the Purchaser desires in determining whether to acquire the Units in the Offering.

 

Section 5. Brokers and Finders.

The Company is obligated to compensate its placement agent, 1^st Worldwide Financial Partners, LLC (“1st Worldwide”), in the amount of 9% of the gross proceeds of the Offering plus a 5-year warrant, substantially in the form of the Warrants, to purchase 9% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering (not including shares underlying the Warrants) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, but only with respect to investments sourced by 1st Worldwide or its sub-agents. In addition, 1st Worldwide will receive a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2.5% of the Purchase Price. The Company shall not be obligated to pay any commission, brokerage fee, or finder’s fee based on any alleged agreement or understanding between the Purchaser and a third person in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify the Company against any claim by any third person for any commission, brokerage fee, finder’s fee, or other payment with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby based on any alleged agreement or understanding between the Purchaser and any such third person, whether express or implied from the actions of the Purchaser or anyone acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Purchaser.

Section 6. Indemnification by the Purchaser.

The Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and defend (with counsel acceptable to the Company) the Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents and hold them harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense, including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred on account of or arising from:

(i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Purchaser’s representations, warranties, or agreements made herein, in any of the Transaction Documents, or in any document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby; and

(ii) any action, suit, or proceeding based on a claim that the Purchaser’s representations, warranties or agreements made herein, in any of the Transaction Documents, or in any document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, were inaccurate or misleading, or otherwise cause for obtaining damages or redress from the Company or any current or former officer, director, employee, or agent of the Company under the Securities Act.

Section 7. Anti-Dilution Protection

 

From and after the date of this Agreement, in the event the Company sells Common Stock for less than $1.00 per share or issues securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock at a conversion price or exercise price less than $1.00 per share (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Company will issue the number of additional shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser, without additional consideration, equal to the product of the Purchaser’s subscription amount hereunder multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock sold and issued at the closing of such Dilutive Issuance plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock sold and issued at the closing of such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at $1.00 per share, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of such Dilutive Issuance plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock sold and issued at the closing of such Dilutive Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional shares will be issued hereunder in respect of an Exempt Issuance. “Exempt Issuance” means (i) Common Stock or options issued pursuant to a board approved equity incentive plan, (ii) Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of options, warrants or convertible debentures outstanding on the Closing Date, and (iii) securities issued in connection with strategic transactions the primary purpose of which is not to raise capital.

This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns.

 

Section 9. Entire Agreement.

 

This Agreement and the other writings and agreements referred to in this Agreement or delivered pursuant to this Agreement contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or verbal, among the Parties with respect thereto.

All questions concerning the construction, interpretation, and validity of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether in the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of New York will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily or necessarily apply.

 

Section 13. Submission to Jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited, or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 15. Independence of Agreements, Covenants, Representations and Warranties.

 

All agreements and covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a certain action or condition constitutes a default under a certain agreement or covenant, the fact that such action or condition is permitted by another agreement or covenant shall not affect the occurrence of such default, unless expressly permitted under an exception to such covenant. In addition, all representations and warranties hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular representation or warranty proves to be incorrect or is breached, the fact that another representation or warranty concerning the same or similar subject matter is correct or is not breached will not affect the incorrectness of or a breach of a representation and warranty hereunder. The exhibits and any schedules annexed hereto are hereby made part of this Agreement in all respects.

 

Section 16. Counterparts. 

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.
