Thereafter, the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Each Investor shall fully cooperate with the Company and its counsel in defending any such claim. An Investor shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole expense of such Investor except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time after receipt of an Indemnification Notice to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, as provided in writing to the Company by such counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Investor. The Company will not be liable to any Investor under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (ii) to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to an Investor’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct and/or any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Investor in this Agreement.

4.5. Short Sales and Confidentiality After the Date Hereof. Each Investor severally and not jointly with the other Investors covenants that neither it nor any Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period after the time such Investor and/or the Company started discussing the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly disclosed by the Company through the filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K. Each Investor, severally and not jointly with the other Investors, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly disclosed by the Company through the filing with the SEC of a Current Report on Form 8-K, such Investor will maintain, the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this Offering and/or any related information and/or transactions (including the existence and terms of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.
4.6. Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares for general corporate purposes and working capital of the Company.
4.7. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system that requires an application by the Company for listing, upon which the shares of Common Stock shall become listed on (subject to official notice of issuance).
4.8. Filing of Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company agrees that it shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Offering.
4.9. Registration Rights. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prepare and file with the SEC, within ninety (90) days after the final Closing, a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the resale of shares of Common Stock issued to Investors in the Offering (the “Registrable Securities”), on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the resale of the Registrable Securities, (ii) have the SEC declare such Registration Statement effective, and (iii) maintain the effectiveness thereof until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (a) have been sold, or (b) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144. If the SEC requires any Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be reduced, such Registrable Securities shall be reduced pro-rata from each holder’s shares of Registrable Securities being registered for resale therein.
| 12 |
4.10. Issuance of Additional Shares Upon Certain Events. If during the period commencing on the final Closing Date and terminating on the date six (6) months following the Initial Closing Date (the “Anti-Dilution Period”), the Company consummates a sale of shares of its Common Stock for cash consideration at a price per share that is lower than the then Per Share Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock splits and consolidations and related corporate events) (such lower price, the “New Issuance Price” and each such issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then following each such Dilutive Issuance, the Company shall issue to each Investor such number of additional Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares purchased by the Investor in the Offering, multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (a) the Per Share Purchase Price (as adjusted for stock splits and consolidations and related corporate events), divided by (b) the New Issuance Price. Notwithstanding the above, no additional Shares will be issued to any Investor pursuant to this Section 4.10, and no anti-dilution rights hereunder will apply (i) upon the exercise of any warrants, options or convertible securities granted, issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement; (ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee equity incentive plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future; (iii) upon the issuance of any securities in connection with an acquisition by the Company; (iv) upon the issuance of any securities pursuant to a commitment by the Company that has been previously disclosed prior to the date hereof in SEC filings or herein; (v) in connection with any public offering of securities; (vi) in connection with the sale, exercise or conversion of any convertible securities including any warrants or options; (vii) in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock other than for cash consideration; and/or (viii) issuances of Shares in connection with the Offering.
