The Company has authorized the issuance and sale to the Purchasers, in the respective amounts set forth in the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto in Schedule I, of the Company’s Senior Secured Promissory Notes, due March 1, 2010 (the “Senior Note Maturity Date”), in the original aggregate principal amount of up to $6,700,000. The Senior Notes will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and are herein referred to individually as a “Senior Note” and collectively as the “Senior Notes,” which terms will also include any notes delivered in exchange or replacement therefor.

 

SECTION 1.02.                                   The Junior Note. The Company has authorized the issuance and sale to the Purchaser, set forth in the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto in Schedule I, of the Company’s Junior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Junior Note”, and collectively with the Senior Notes referred to as the “Notes,” which term will also include any notes delivered in exchange or replacement therefor), due March 1, 2011 (the “Junior Note Maturity Date”), in the original aggregate principal amount of up to $3,000,000. The Junior Note will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit F hereto.

 

SECTION 1.03.                                   Purchase and Sale of Notes. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and, subject to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase, the Notes set forth opposite their respective names in the Schedule of Purchasers attached as Schedule I for the aggregate purchase price set forth therein. The consideration to be paid for the Notes will consist of $9,700,000 cash. The closing of such purchase and sale (the “Closing”) will be held at the office of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP, 695 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626, on March 8, 2006 (the “Closing Date”) at 10:00 A.M., Pacific Standard Time, or on such other date and at such time as may be mutually agreed upon. At the Closing, the Company will issue and deliver to each Purchaser one Senior Note or one Junior Note, as the case may be, payable to the order of such Purchaser, in the principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name in the Schedule of Purchasers attached as Schedule I against delivery to the Company of a check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser under the heading “Aggregate Purchase Price for Notes” on Schedule I, less the Purchaser’s reasonable estimated expenses to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01, transference of such sum to the account of the Company by wire transfer, or delivery or transference of such sum to the Company by any combination of such methods of payment.

 



 

SECTION 1.04.                                   Payments and Endorsements. Payments of principal and interest on the Notes will be made directly by check duly mailed or delivered to the Purchasers at their addresses referred to in the Schedule of Purchasers attached as Schedule I or made to the account of the Purchaser by wire transfer referred to in the Schedule of Purchasers attached as Schedule I or indicated in any notice delivered by a Purchaser to the Company, without any presentment or notation of payment, except that prior to any transfer of any Note, the holder of record will endorse on such Note a record of the date to which interest has been paid and all payments made on account of principal of such Note.

 

SECTION 1.05.                                   Interest Rate for Senior Note; Payment of Principal and Interest for Senior Note. The Senior Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum if paid in cash or 11% per annum if paid in kind. The Company in its sole discretion may elect to pay in cash or in kind until March 31, 2009, after which interest will be paid in cash. Interest will be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter (each, a “Senior Note Interest Payment Date”), with the first interest payment due June 30, 2006. If the Company chooses to make interest payments in kind, the amount of accrued interest to be so paid will be added to the principal amount of the Senior Notes on the applicable Senior Note Interest Payment Date. Principal will be amortized over three years and payable in equal monthly installments on the last day of each month beginning on March 31, 2009. The Senior Notes and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full at the Senior Note Maturity Date unless earlier redeemed pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.06 herein.

 

SECTION 1.06.                                   Prepayment of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes will be payable by the Company prior to the Senior Note Maturity Date as follows (all prepayments made by the Company to the Senior Note holders under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the lawful currency of the United States without setoff or withholding of any kind):

 

(a)                                  Voluntary Prepayment by the Company. At any time until the Senior Notes have been repaid in full, the Company may, at its sole option, redeem the entire outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes (including any and all accrued but unpaid interest on such principal amount) through the date of repayment on such principal amount (such entire outstanding principal amount, plus all such accrued but unpaid interest, hereinafter referred to for purposes of this Section 1.06 as the “Redemption Amount”) by paying to the holders of the Senior Notes 105% of the Redemption Amount, with such payments to be apportioned ratably among the Purchasers or their transferees according to the unpaid principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest thereon to which such payments relate.

 

(b)                                  Prepayment on Change of Control. At any time until the Senior Notes have been repaid in full, the Company will redeem the Senior Notes in their entirety upon the occurrence of a Change of Control by paying to the holders of the Senior Notes 105% of the Redemption Amount on the closing date of the Change of Control. Such payments will be apportioned ratably among the Senior Note holders according to the unpaid principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest thereon to which such payments relate. For purposes of this Section 1.06(b), “Change of Control” means the event of (i) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or share exchange in which the holders of the voting stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, recapitalization or share exchange will not own 50% or more of the voting stock of the continuing or surviving corporation or other entity, or the parent company of such corporation or other entity, immediately after such merger, consolidation, recapitalization or share exchange, (ii) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition (other than the grant of a security interest) of all or substantially all of the assets of Company to any person or group of related persons, or (iii) any sale or other disposition of the voting stock of the Company representing 50% or more of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock in a single transaction or a series of related transactions to any person, or group of related persons; provided, however that none of the following events shall be deemed to be a Change of Control for

purposes of this Agreement: (A) the Company’s issuance of shares of its Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”) to any of its existing unsecured trade creditors set forth on Schedule II which opt to convert trade debt (as of the date of this Agreement) up to the amount set forth on Schedule II into Common Stock at a conversion rate of $0.02 per share within three business days of the date immediately following the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below in Section 1.15(g)), or June 30, 2006, whichever is earlier, pursuant to a Settlement and Release Agreement substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit B; and (B) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock within the earlier of (i) three business days of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, or (ii) June 30, 2006, pursuant to a conversion and settlement agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “Conversion and Settlement Agreement”), with each and all of the holders (all of such holders are set forth on Schedule III) of the Company’s:  (a) 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes dated as of October 15, 2004 (the “9% Notes”), (b) Amended and Restated 9% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes dated as of October 26, 2005 (the “Amended 9% Notes”), (c) Secured Promissory Notes dated as of October 26, 2005 (the “Bridge Notes”), and (d) Secured Promissory Notes dated as of September 20, 2005 issued to the former shareholders of Integration Technologies, Inc. (the “Acquisition Notes” and together with the 9% Notes, the Amended 9% Notes and the Bridge Notes, the “Outstanding Notes”).

 

(c)                                  Prepayment on Sale of Assets. At any time until the Senior Notes have been repaid in full, the Company will redeem all or a portion of the Redemption Amount immediately upon the occurrence of a Substantial Asset Sale as follows:  Upon the occurrence of a Substantial Asset Sale, (i) 50% of the gross proceeds of such sale (the “Asset Sale Prepayment Amount”) will be paid to the Purchasers or subsequent transferees of the Senior Notes in respect of the Redemption Amount; and (ii) a prepayment penalty equal to 2% of the Asset Sale Prepayment Amount will be paid by the Company to the Purchasers or subsequent transferees of the Senior Notes. Such payments will be apportioned ratably among the Senior Note holders according to the unpaid principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest thereon to which such payments relate. For purposes of this Section 1.06(c), a “Substantial Asset Sale” is any voluntary or involuntary sale or series of sales of the Company’s assets (including casualty losses or condemnations)  which generate(s) (i)  gross proceeds of $100,000 or more in the case of a single-asset sale, or (ii) aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000 or more over any 12-month period in the case of a series of asset sales.

 

SECTION 1.07.                                   Warrants for Senior Notes. At the Closing, the Company will issue to the Purchasers of Senior Notes pro rata, according to each Purchaser’s proportion of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 19.9% of the Common Stock of the Company, exercisable at $0.001 per share, in the form set forth as Exhibit D.

 

SECTION 1.08.                                   Interest Rate for Junior Note; Payment of Principal and Interest for Junior Note. The Junior Note will accrue interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, compounding quarterly. The said interest shall become due quarterly in arrears and shall be payable on the last day of each fiscal quarter (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) in respect of the immediately preceding completed fiscal quarter. The first Interest Payment Date will be June 30, 2006. At the Company’s sole option, all interest payments due and payable through June 30, 2009 may be paid in kind at the rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum, compounding quarterly, in which case the accrued interest will be added to the principal amount of the Junior Note on the applicable Interest Payment Date, and interest will accrue on the aggregate principal amount. All interest payments due and payable after June 30, 2009 must be paid in cash. The Junior Note shall be due and payable in full at the Junior Note Maturity Date unless earlier converted in accordance with Section 3 of the Junior Note.

 

SECTION 1.09.                                   Redemption of Junior Note. Until March 1, 2010, the Company may not prepay the Junior Note in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the holder thereto, which may be given or withheld in such holder’s sole discretion. At anytime from March 1, 2010 until the

 

3



 

Junior Note Maturity Date, the Company may prepay this Junior Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

 

SECTION 1.10.                                   Conversion of Junior Note. All or any part of the principal plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Junior Note may be converted at any time into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company, at the sole option of the holder of the Junior Note, pursuant to the terms and conditions of conversion set forth in the Junior Note.

 

SECTION 1.11.                                   Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made will be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday under the laws of the State of California, such payment may be made on the next succeeding business day, and such extension of time will in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest due.

 

SECTION 1.12.                                   Registration of Notes. The Company will maintain at its principal office a register of the Notes and will record therein the names and addresses of the registered holders of the Notes, the address to which notices are to be sent and the address to which payments are to be made as designated by the registered holder if other than the address of the holder, and the particulars of all transfers, exchanges and replacements of Notes. No transfer of a Note will be valid unless made on such register for the registered holder or his executors or administrators or his or their duly appointed attorney, upon surrender therefor for exchange as hereinafter provided, accompanied by an instrument in writing, in form and execution reasonably satisfactory to the Company. Each Note issued hereunder, whether originally or upon transfer, exchange or replacement of a Note or Notes, will be registered on the date of execution thereof by the Company and will be dated the date to which interest has been paid on such Notes or Note. The registered holder of a Note will be that person in whose name the Note has been so registered by the Company. A registered holder will be deemed the owner of a Note for all purposes of this Agreement and, subject to the provisions hereof, will be entitled to the principal and interest evidenced by such Note free from all equities or rights of setoff or counterclaim between the Company and the transferor of such registered holder or any previous registered holder of such Note.

 

SECTION 1.13.                                   Transfer and Exchange of Notes. The registered holder of any Note or Notes may, prior to maturity or prepayment thereof, surrender such Note or Notes at the principal office of the Company for transfer or exchange; provided, however, the registered holder of any Note or Notes will not transfer any such Note (a) to any person or entity which is not an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (b) to any person or entity that could result in the loss of the exemption from registration under the Securities Act applicable to the original sale of the Notes, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Company pursuant to a written opinion of the Company’s counsel, and (c) so long as no Event of Default has occurred, without the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Within a reasonable time after notice to the Company from a registered holder of its intention to make such exchange and without expense (other than transfer taxes, if any) to such registered holder, subject to the Company’s consent, if such consent is required by this Section 1.13, the Company will issue in exchange therefor another Note or Notes, in such denominations as requested by the registered holder, for the same aggregate principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of the Note or Notes so surrendered and having the same maturity and rate of interest, containing the same provisions and subject to the same terms and conditions as the Note or Notes so surrendered. Each new Note will be made payable to such person or persons, or registered assigns, as the registered holder of such surrendered Note or Notes may designate, and such transfer or exchange will be made in such a manner that no gain or loss of principal or interest will result therefrom.

 

SECTION 1.14.                                   Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note and, if requested in the case of any such

 

4



 

loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity bond or other agreement or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company will issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount and dated the date to which interest has been paid, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note; provided, however, if any Note of which a Purchaser whose name is set forth in the Schedule of Purchasers attached as Schedule I, its nominee, or any of its partners is the registered holder is lost, stolen or destroyed, the affidavit of the President, Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer or any other authorized representative of the registered holder setting forth the circumstances with respect to such loss, theft or destruction will be accepted as satisfactory evidence thereof, and no indemnification bond or other security will be required as a condition to the execution and delivery by the Company of a new Note in replacement of such lost, stolen or destroyed Note other than the registered holder’s written agreement to indemnify the Company.

 

SECTION 1.15.                                   Events of Default. If any of the following events (“Events of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

 

(a)                                  The Company will fail to pay any installment of principal of, or interest due on, any of the Notes within five (5) calendar days of the date such installment is due;

 

(b)                                  Any material representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the Security and Pledge Agreements (as hereinafter defined), or by the Company (or any officers of the Company) in any certificate, instrument or written statement contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Security and Pledge Agreements will prove to have been incorrect when made in any material respect;

 

(c)                                  The Company will fail to perform or observe any other material term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, the Security and Pledge Agreements, the Notes or any agreement executed and delivered by the Company in connection with this Agreement or the Security and Pledge Agreements on its part to be performed or observed and any such failure remains unremedied for ten (10) business days after written notice thereof will have been given to the Company by any registered holder of the Notes;

 

(d)                                  The Company will fail to pay any indebtedness in excess of an aggregate of $100,000 for borrowed money (other than as evidenced by the Notes) owing by the Company, or any interest or premium thereon, when due (or, if permitted by the terms of the relevant document, within any applicable grace period), whether such indebtedness will become due by scheduled maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration, by demand or otherwise, or will fail to perform any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed under any agreement or instrument evidencing or securing or relating to any indebtedness in excess of an aggregate of $100,000 owing by the Company when required to be performed (or, if permitted by the terms of the relevant document, within any applicable grace period), if the effect of such failure to pay or perform is to accelerate, or to permit the holder or holders of such indebtedness, or the trustee or trustees under any such agreement or instrument to accelerate, the maturity of such indebtedness, unless such failure to pay or perform will be waived by the holder or holders of such indebtedness or such trustee or trustees;

 

(e)                                  The Company will be involved in financial difficulties as evidenced (i) by its admitting in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (ii) by its commencement of a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code as from time to time in effect, or by its authorizing, by appropriate proceedings of its Board of Directors or other governing body, the commencement of such a voluntary case which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; (iii) by its filing an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to deny the material allegations of a petition filed against it commencing an involuntary case under said Title 11, or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the

 

5



 

relief therein provided, or by its failing to controvert timely the material allegations of any such petition; (iv) by the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case commenced under said Title 11; (v) by its seeking relief as a debtor under any applicable law, other than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the modification or alteration of the rights of creditors, or by its consenting to or acquiescing in such relief; (vi) by the entry of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction (a) finding it to be bankrupt or insolvent, (b) ordering or approving its liquidation, reorganization or any modification or alteration of the rights of its creditors, or (c) assuming custody of, or appointing a receiver or other custodian for, all or a substantial part of its property; or (vii) by its making an assignment for the benefit of, or entering into a composition with, its creditors, or appointing or consenting to the appointment of a receiver or other custodian for all or a substantial part of its property;

(g)                                 The Company shall fail to effect a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) within 90 days following the Closing Date;

 

(h)                                 The Company shall fail to reduce Chief Executive Officer Casper Zublin’s salary by $100,000 ratably over the 48 months within 15 days following the Closing Date, with such reduction to be set forth in a written agreement between the Company and Mr. Zublin in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers;

 

(i)                                    The Company shall fail to complete the conversion of all of the obligations outstanding under the Outstanding Notes into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.02 per share on or before the earlier of (a) three business days following the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, or (b) June 30, 2006;

 

(j)                                    Any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution or similar process will be issued or levied against a substantial part of the property of the Company and such judgment, writ, or similar process will not be released, vacated or fully bonded within sixty (60) days after its issue or levy; or

 

(k)                                The Company shall fail to effect, as set forth on Schedule C of the respective Security and Pledge Agreements, the termination within (i) ten (10) calendar days of the Closing Date of each of those certain financing statements on file by Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., C.W.

then, and in any such event, any holder of any Note may, by notice to the Company, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Note, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Note, all such accrued interest and all such amounts will become and be forthwith due and payable (unless there will have occurred an Event of Default under subsection 1.15(e) in which case all such amounts will automatically become due and payable), without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company.

ARTICLE VI

 

REGISTRATION

 

SECTION 6.01.                                   Piggyback Registration. If, prior to June 30, 2006, the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Purchasers) the sale of any of its securities under the Securities Act, then the Company will promptly give the Purchasers written notice thereof and will use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration (A) all or any part of the shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of warrants or conversion of notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Junior Note) issued by the Company to SACC Partners L.P., Lloyd I. Miller, III and the Purchasers hereto (i) on October 26, 2005 and (ii) on the Closing Date; and (B) all Conversion Shares (as such term is defined in those certain Conversion and Settlement Agreements executed as of the date hereof by and between (x) the Company and SACC Partners, L.P. and (y) the Company and Lloyd I. Miller, III) (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). This requirement does not apply to Company registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or their equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with an acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans. Each Purchaser must give its request for registration under this paragraph to the Company in writing within 10 days after receipt from the Company of notice of such pending registration. If the registration for which the Company gives notice is a public offering involving an underwriting, the Company will so advise the Purchasers as part of the above-described written notice. In that event, if the managing underwriter(s) of the public offering impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, such limitation would be necessary to effect an orderly public distribution, then the Company will be obligated to include only such limited portion, if any, of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Purchasers have requested inclusion hereunder. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities will be made pro rata among all holders of the Company’s securities seeking to include shares of Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock sought to be included by those holders. However, the Company will not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities the holders of which are not entitled by right to inclusion of such securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities.

 

SECTION 6.02.                                   Mandatory Registration. If, at anytime on or after June 30, 2006, the resale of any Registrable Securities have not been registered by the Company pursuant to Section 6.01

 

18



 

hereof, the Purchasers may deliver notice to the Company to require that the Company register all Registrable Securities on a registration statement on Form S-1, or other form then available to the Company under applicable SEC rules and regulations (the “Registration Statement”), covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities. The date on which the Company receives such notice is referred to herein as the “Demand Date.”  The Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts (i) to cause such Registration Statement to be filed under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after receipt of notice of such demand, but in any event not more than 30 days following the Demand Date and (ii) to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than 90 days following the Demand Date (the “Demand Effective Date”). However, so long as the Company has filed the Registration Statement within 30 days after the Demand Date, (a) if the SEC takes the position that registration of the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Purchasers is not available under applicable laws, rules and regulations and that the Company must register the offering of the Registrable Securities as a primary offering by the Company, or (b) if the Registration Statement receives SEC review, then the Demand Effective Date will be the 120th day after the Demand Date. In the case the SEC takes the position that resale registration is not available, the Company will, within 40 business days after the date the Company receives such SEC response, file a Registration Statement as a primary offering. The Company’s best efforts will include, without limitation, promptly responding to all comments received from the staff of the SEC. If the Company receives notification from the SEC that the Registration Statement will receive no action or review from the SEC, then the Company will cause the Registration Statement to become effective within five business days after such SEC notification. Once the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company will cause the Registration Statement to remain effective throughout the Registration Period, except as permitted under this Section. “Registration Period” means the period between the Demand Date and the earlier of the date on (i) which (x) all of the Registrable Securities have been sold by the Purchasers pursuant to a Registration Statement and (y) are freely tradable under the Securities Act, or (ii) all the Registrable Securities may be immediately sold by the Purchasers without registration and without restriction as to the number of Registrable Securities to be sold, pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise. On the date of each monthly anniversary of the date on which any breach of this Section 6.02 first occurs (including failure to file a Registration Statement or to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective within the time periods set forth herein) until the applicable default is cured (each, a “Payment Date”), the Company shall issue to the Purchasers as damages additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 2.0% of the aggregate amount of the Registrable Securities, and all such shares shall become Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock payable pursuant to this Section 6.02 to any Purchaser shall not exceed the number of shares, less one share, which, if issued, would have, at the time of the Closing Date or Payment Date, required stockholder approval of such issuance pursuant to Section 4350(i)(1)(D) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules if the Company is then subject to such rule. In the event the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable under this Section 6.02 is restricted by the limitations of the previous sentence, the Company may waive such limitation or, at the Company’s election, the balance of the damages payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.02 may be paid in cash (valuing the shares not so issued at the average of the closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the one-month anniversary of the default which requires the issuance of shares) on the applicable Payment Date in accordance with payment instructions provided by each Purchaser.

 

SECTION 6.03.                                   Continued Effectiveness of Registration Statement. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.08, the Company will keep the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities effective under Rule 415 at all times during the Registration Period. In the event that the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued, the Company will (if permitted) amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if

 

19



 

applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities. The Company will file such amendment or new Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 business days after the necessity therefor arises (based upon the market price of the Common Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to rely). The Company will use its best efforts to cause such amendment or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as is practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than 90 days after the date on which the Company reasonably first determines the need therefor.

 

SECTION 6.04.                                   Accuracy of Registration Statement. Any Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) filed by the Company covering Registrable Securities will 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Company will prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to permit sales pursuant to the Registration Statement at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, will comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement until the termination of the Registration Period, or if earlier, until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statement.

 

SECTION 6.05.                                   Furnishing Documentation. The Company will furnish to the Purchasers, or to their legal counsel, (a) promptly after such document is filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement and any amendments thereto, each preliminary prospectus and final prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto; and (b) a number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto, and such other documents as the Purchasers may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Purchasers. The Company will promptly notify by facsimile or email the Purchasers of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment.

 

SECTION 6.06.                                   Additional Obligations. The Company will use its best efforts to (a) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchasers reasonably request, (b) prepare and file in those jurisdictions any amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain their effectiveness during the Registration Period, (c) take any other actions necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (d) take any other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is not required, in connection with such obligations, to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6.06, (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, (iv) provide any undertakings that cause material expense or material burden to the Company, or (v) make any change in its charter or bylaws, which in each case the Board of Directors of the Company determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

SECTION 6.07.                                   Underwritten Offerings. If the Purchasers select underwriters reasonably acceptable to the Company for an underwritten offering, the Company will enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form including, without

 

20



 

limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering.

 

SECTION 6.08.                                   Suspension of Registration.

 

(a)                                  The Company will notify (by telephone and also by facsimile and reputable overnight courier) the Purchasers of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as then in effect includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company will make such notification as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than two business days) after the Company becomes aware of the event, will promptly (but in no event more than ten business days) prepare and file a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and will deliver a number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the Purchasers as they may reasonably request.

 

(b)                                  Notwithstanding the obligations under Section 6.08(a), if in the good faith judgment of the Company, following consultation with legal counsel, it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for resales of Registrable Securities to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement due to the existence of a material development or potential material development involving the Company which the Company would be obligated to disclose in the Registration Statement, but which disclosure would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company and its stockholders, the Company will have the right to suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days; provided, however, that the Company may so defer or suspend the use of the Registration Statement no more than one time in any twelve-month period.

 

(c)                                  Subject to the Company’s rights under this Article VI, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement and, if such an order is issued, will use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time and to notify the Purchasers of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.

 

(d)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the use of the Registration Statement is suspended by the Company, the Company will promptly (but in no event more than two business days) give notice of the suspension to the Purchasers, and will promptly (but in no event more than two business days) notify the Purchasers as soon as the use of the Registration Statement may be resumed.

 

SECTION 6.09.                                   Transfer Agent; Registrar. The Company will provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement.

 

SECTION 6.10.                                   Share Certificates. The Company will cooperate with the Purchasers and with the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and will enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the case may be, and registered in such names as the Purchasers or the managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request.

 

21



 

SECTION 6.11.                                   Plan of Distribution. At the reasonable request of the Purchasers, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement, and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement, as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.

 

SECTION 6.12.                                   Securities Laws Compliance. The Company will comply with all applicable laws related to any Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities and with all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC).

 

SECTION 6.13.                                   Further Assurances. The Company will take all other reasonable actions as the Purchasers or the underwriters, if any, may reasonably request to expedite and facilitate disposition by such Purchaser of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

SECTION 6.14.                                   Expenses. The Company will bear all reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, and transfer taxes, if any, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Purchasers’ legal counsel.

 

SECTION 6.15.                                   Indemnification. In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a)                                  To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Purchaser that holds Registrable Securities, and agents, employees, attorneys, accountants, underwriters (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Purchasers and any directors or officers of such Purchasers or such underwriter and any person who controls the Purchasers or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (collectively, and together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, any post-effective amendment thereof or any prospectus included therein:  (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus (as it may be amended or supplemented) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other law, including without limitation any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder (the matters in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to the restrictions set forth herein with respect to the number of legal counsel, the Company will reimburse the Purchasers and each such attorney, accountant, underwriter or controlling person and each such other Purchaser Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the

 

22



 

indemnification contained in this Section 6.15 (i) does not apply to a Claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser Indemnified Person expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus or supplement thereto was timely made available by the Company; and (ii) does not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is made without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnity obligation will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons and will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Purchasers.

 

(b)                                  In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Purchaser is participating, each such Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who controls such stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each a “Company Indemnified Person”) against any Claim to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim arises out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser expressly for use in such Registration Statement. Such Purchaser will promptly reimburse each Company Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred and due and payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. However, the indemnity agreement contained in this section does not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and no such Purchaser will be liable under this Agreement for the amount of any Claim that exceeds the net proceeds actually received by such Purchaser as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of a Company Indemnified Party and will survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Purchasers.

 

(c)                                  If any proceeding shall be brought or any claim asserted against any person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

(d)                                  An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the

 

23



 

Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on Claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

 

(e)                                  Subject to the foregoing, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) business days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall be delivered no more frequently than on a monthly basis (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

 

SECTION 6.16.                                   Transfer. The rights of the Purchasers hereunder, including the right to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, may be assigned by the Purchasers to transferees or assignees of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities, but only if (a) 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, (b) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (c) after such transfer or assignment, the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (d) at or before the time the Company received the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, (e) such transfer is made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement, and (f) the transferee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.
