Certain terms used and not otherwise defined in the text of this Agreement are defined in Section 9 hereof.
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and to sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers desire to purchase from the Company, Notes and Milestone Notes of the Company (as hereinafter defined) and shares of Common Stock of the Company, all in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
WHEREAS, Costa Brava and Griffin have committed to investing a minimum of $11,400,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) regarding the transactions as described herein;
WHEREAS, the Company previously sold 10% Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes due May 31, 2011 (the “Bridge Notes”) to investors in an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 (the “Total Bridge Note Amount”) as a “bridge” to the current transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, as additional consideration for the Bridge Notes, the Company has agreed to issue shares of its Common Stock to each investor with a value equal to 25% of the principal amount of the Bridge Notes purchased, based on a valuation per share of the greater of (i) the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by the last closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the date of issuance of the Bridge Notes, and (ii) $0.13 per share, but not greater than $0.14 per share (the “Bridge Financing”);
WHEREAS, subject to certain requirements, at the discretion of an investor holding a Bridge Note (the “Bridge Note Holder”), the principal value of the Bridge Note and any accrued interest thereon may be converted after the Initial Closing (as defined below) into the securities issued at the Initial Closing on the same terms and conditions as Costa Brava and Griffin (the “Bridge Note Conversion”);
WHEREAS, as soon as practicable after the Initial Closing, the Company shall hold two or more subsequent closings (the “Bridge Closings”) to effect the closing of the Bridge Note Conversion for those Bridge Note Holders who elect to participate in the Bridge Note Conversion;

 

 


 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Authorization of Securities. The Company has authorized the issuance and sale of: (i) 66,100,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) 12% Convertible Subordinated Secured Notes due December 23, 2015, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $9,820,800 (the “Notes”); and (iii) Milestone Notes (as defined below) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,200,000. Each Note and Milestone Note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, shall be duly executed by the Company and shall be dated as of the date of the applicable Closing (as defined in Section 3.1). The Notes and the Milestone Notes will be subordinated in right of payment to the $2,500,000 Secured Promissory Note, dated as of April 14, 2010, issued by the Company to Timothy Looney, and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the Security Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, which shall be duly executed by the Company and the Holder Representative (as defined in the Notes). The shares of Common Stock into which the Notes and the Milestone Notes are convertible are sometimes referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and the Common Stock, Notes, Milestone Notes and Conversion Shares are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Securities”.
2. Sale and Purchase of the Securities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained, the Company agrees to sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at each Closing (as defined in Section 3.1): (i) the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I, attached hereto, for an aggregate purchase price (the “Common Stock Purchase Price”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I (which shall be equal to $0.07 per share); (ii) the principal amount of the Note set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Note (the “Note Purchase Price”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I; and, as applicable, (iii) the principal amount of the Milestone Note set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Milestone Note (the “Milestone Note Purchase Price”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I.
3. Closing; Payment of Purchase Price; Use of Proceeds; Bridge Note Conversion.
3.1. Closings.
(a) The initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) with respect to the transaction contemplated in Section 2 hereof shall take place at the offices of Ropes & Gray LLP, Prudential Tower, 800 Boylston St., Boston, Massachusetts on December 23, 2010, or at such other time and place as the Company and Purchasers may agree, including remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures (the “Initial Closing Date”). The term “Closing” shall refer to the Initial Closing, the Bridge Closings and the Milestone Closing (as defined below), to the extent there is a Milestone Closing.

forth on Schedule I, attached hereto, against delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of a wire transfer in the amount of the Common Stock Purchase Price therefor as set forth on Schedule I, such shares to be evidenced by certificates, registered in the name of such Purchaser, to be delivered by the transfer agent within five business days after the Closing; (ii) a Note representing the principal amount which such Purchaser is purchasing at such Closing as set forth on Schedule I, in the name of such Purchaser, against delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of a wire transfer in the amount of the Note Purchase Price therefor as set forth on Schedule I or conversion of the Bridge Notes in the case of the Bridge Closings; (iii) a Milestone Note representing the principal amount which such Purchaser is purchasing at such Closing as set forth on Schedule I, in the name of such Purchaser, against delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of a wire transfer in the amount of the Milestone Note Purchase Price therefor as set forth on Schedule I. Schedule I shall be updated to reflect the Bridge Note Conversion; and (iv) a Note representing the principal amount issued to such Purchaser as a result of the Bridge Note Conversion as set forth on Schedule I, in the name of such Purchaser, against delivery to the Company by such Purchaser of the Bridge Conversion Documents (as defined below).
(b) On the date of the Initial Closing but immediately following the Initial Closing, each of Costa Brava and Griffin agrees to elect the Bridge Note Conversion and convert all of the principal and accrued interest on its respective Bridge Notes and purchase additional Notes and shares of Common Stock in the amounts set forth on Schedule I in consideration for the cancellation of such Bridge Notes. The Notes so purchased shall have the same terms as set forth in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto. Each of Costa Brava and Griffin shall return their respective original Bridge Notes to the Company and each agrees that upon receipt of the Notes and the shares of Common Stock so purchased, its respective Bridge Notes shall be cancelled, and the Company shall have no further obligations thereunder.
(c) As soon as practicable following the Initial Closing, but not later than 120 days following the Initial Closing (or such later date as may be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”)), the Company shall hold one or more subsequent Bridge Closings to effect the Bridge Note Conversion for all of the other Bridge Note Holders who elect the Bridge Note Conversion. The Company shall, from time to time, update Schedule I to reflect the Bridge Note Conversion at the subsequent Bridge Closings.
3.2. Milestone Closing. As soon as reasonably practicable upon completion of the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation set forth in Section 6.2(a) but not later than April 30, 2010, and subject to the fulfillment of the other closing conditions set forth in Section 6.2 (the “Milestone Conditions”), Costa Brava and Griffin shall purchase, and the Company shall sell, on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, Milestone Notes, which shall have the same terms as set forth in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Milestone Notes”). If the Milestone Conditions are not satisfied or capable of being satisfied by April 30, 2010, then Costa Brava and Griffin are released from their obligations under this Section 3.2. The purchase and sale of the Milestone Notes are referred to in this Agreement as the “Milestone Closing” and the date of the Milestone Closing is referred to as the “Milestone Closing Date.”
3.3. Use of Proceeds. The Company agrees to use the proceeds from the Initial Closing as follows: $3,000,000 to pay the Company’s accounts payable as set forth on Schedule II.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers; Register of Securities; Restrictions on Transfer. Each Purchaser, severally as to itself and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that the statements contained in this Section 4 are true and complete as of the date of this Agreement and will be true and complete as of the date of each Closing:

4.2. Validity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents and instruments referred to herein, in each case to which such Purchaser is a party, and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and the other Transaction Documents and instruments referred to herein to which it is a party will be duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and each such agreement and instrument constitutes or will constitute a valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

4.4. Investment Representations and Warranties. Such Purchaser understands and agrees that the offering and sale of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and are being made in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale.
4.5. Acquisition for Own Account. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment and not with a view toward distribution in a manner which would violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and is able to sustain a loss of all of its investment in the Securities without economic hardship if such a loss should occur.
4.7. Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
4.8. Access to Information.

The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon.
4.9. Restricted Securities.
(a) Such Purchaser understands that the Securities will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
(b) Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Such Purchaser understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities, except as provided in the Transaction Documents.
(c) Such Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement.

 

5

4.13. Tax Advisors. Such Purchaser has had the opportunity to review with such Purchaser’s own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of this investment, where applicable, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such Purchaser is relying solely on the Purchaser’s own determination as to tax consequences or the advice of such tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that such Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for such Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.14. Communication of Offer. The offer to sell the Securities was directly communicated to such Purchaser by the Company. At no time was such Purchaser presented with or solicited by any leaflet, advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or any other form of general advertising, or solicited or invited to attend a promotional meeting or any seminar or meeting by any general solicitation or general advertising.
5. Representations and Warranties by the Company. Except as disclosed by the Company in a written Disclosure Schedule provided by the Company to the Purchasers dated the date hereof (the “Disclosure Schedule”), the Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that the statements contained in this Section 5 are true and complete as of the date of this Agreement and will be true and complete as of the date of the Initial Closing and the Milestone Closing, as the case may be. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Section 5, and the disclosures in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections and subsections in this Section 5 only to the extent it is clear from a reasonable reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.
