Exhibit 10.1
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Securities Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of March 2, 2020, by and between MYOS RENS Technology Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and each of the purchasers who execute the Purchaser Signature Page hereto (the “Purchaser”).
R E C I T A L S
A. The Company desires to obtain funds from each Purchaser in order to provide working capital for marketing, research and development expansion and to further the operations of the Company.
B. The Company is offering shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock” and, the shares of Common Stock offered herein, being sometimes referred to herein as the “Shares” or the “Securities”). The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be $1.21 per Share.
C. Purchasers understand that there is a great deal of risk, illiquidity and uncertainty in the purchase of the Shares herein, and that no assurance can be made that the Company will complete its business plan or, if completed, that it will be successful in doing so. Purchasers had the opportunity to receive and examine all of the Company’s SEC Reports (as defined below), including, without limitation, any risk factors therein and understand that an investment herein entails a high degree of risk and illiquidity, including the possible loss of Purchaser’s entire investment.
D. The offering of Shares is being made directly by the Company to accredited investors only, under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on a “best efforts” basis.
E. Until the Closing, the Company may reject any subscriptions in whole or in part or elect not to close, for any reason or for no reason and shall return funds to the Purchaser to the extent of funds tendered for subscriptions which have not been accepted. The offering will remain open until March 16, 2020, unless earlier terminated by the Company, unless extended for 30 days at the sole discretion of the Company (which extension may be made without the consent of Purchasers). The maximum amount to be sold hereunder shall not exceed $5.0 million.
AGREEMENT
It is agreed as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES.
1.1 Purchase and Sale. In reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Company and each Purchaser contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at Closing, each Purchaser shall purchase, and the Company shall sell and issue to each Purchaser, the number of Shares set forth on the signature page annexed to this Agreement as executed by such Purchaser (the “Purchaser Signature Page”), issued in such Purchaser’s name for the Purchase Price.
2. CLOSING.
2.1 Date and Time. The sale of Shares will take place in one or more closings (“Closing”), subject to the satisfaction of all the parties hereto of their obligations herein. Each Closing shall take place at the offices of the Company’s counsel or at such other place as the parties may agree (each, a “Closing Date”) as soon as practicable after the Purchase Price for the Shares have been received by the Company and the corresponding subscription documents have been delivered to the Company by the Purchasers.

The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) have all government and other licenses and permits and authorizations to do business in all jurisdictions where their activities require such license, permits and authorizations, except where failure to obtain any such license, permit or authorization will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s assets, properties, financial condition, operating results or business of the Company taken as a whole other than an effect primarily or proximately resulting from (A) changes in general economic or market conditions affecting the industry generally in which the Company operates, which changes do not disproportionately affect the Company as compared to other similarly situated participants in the industry in which the Company operates; (B) changes in applicable law or United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); and (C) acts of terrorism, war or natural disasters which do not disproportionately affect the Company (as such business is presently conducted) (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

3.5 Securities Law Compliance. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each Purchaser set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, the offer and sale of the Shares will constitute an exempted transaction under the Securities Act, and registration of the Shares under the Securities Act for issuance herein is not required. The Company shall make such filings as may be necessary to comply with the Federal securities laws and the “blue sky” laws of any state in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities, which filings will be made in a timely manner.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF EACH PURCHASER.
Each Purchaser individually and not jointly hereby represents warrants and covenants with the Company as follows. For the avoidance of doubt, these warranties and representations are made to the Company as well as to its agents and representatives and affiliates, as third party beneficiaries hereto:
4.1 Legal Power. Each Purchaser has the requisite individual, corporate, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or fiduciary power, as appropriate, and is authorized, if such Purchaser is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or trust, to enter into this Agreement, to purchase the Shares hereunder, and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
4.2 Due Execution. The execution and performance of the terms under this Agreement and the Accredited Investor Questionnaire commencing on Page SP-2 appended at the end of this Agreement (the “Questionnaire”) and Purchaser Signature Page hereto, have been duly authorized, if such Purchaser is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or fiduciary, executed and delivered by such Purchaser, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of such Purchaser.
4.3 Access to Information. Each Purchaser understands that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and illiquidity, including, risk of loss of their entire investment. Each Purchaser also understands that the Company has limited capital and is not profitable. Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has been given access to the Company for the purpose of obtaining such information as such Purchaser or its qualified representative has reasonably requested in connection with the decision to purchase the Shares. Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser had the opportunity to receive and review copies of the SEC Reports. Each Purchaser confirms that it is not privy to the Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Excluded Information”) and that the Excluded Information could be positive or negative in nature and, if released to the public, could have an impact on the market price of the securities of the Company. Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the officers of the Company regarding its business prospects and the Shares, all as such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s qualified representative have found necessary to make an informed investment decision to purchase the Shares.
3
4.4 Restricted Securities.
4.4.1 Each Purchaser has been advised that none of the Securities have been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws and that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, and that the Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D is predicated in part on such Purchaser representations as contained herein (including, for avoidance of doubt, the Questionnaire). Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities will be issued as “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. None of the Securities may be resold in the absence of an effective registration statement thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, an applicable exemption from registration is available.
4.4.2 Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for such Purchaser’s own account, and not as nominee or agent, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
4.4.3 Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the certificates representing the Shares will bear substantially the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE LAW, AND NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (i) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SECURITIES, (ii) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (iii) THE COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.”
4.4.4 Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Shares is not liquid and is transferable only under limited conditions. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Each Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of restricted securities subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and that such Rule is not now available and, in the future, may not become available for resale of any of the Securities and that the Company is an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
4.4.5 The representations made by each Purchaser on the Questionnaire (commencing on page [16] appended at the end hereof) and Purchaser Signature Page are true and correct.
4.5 Purchaser Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of Loss. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to protect its interests in connection with the acquisition of the Securities and can bear the economic risk of investment in such Securities without producing a material adverse change in such Purchaser’s financial condition. Each Purchaser, either alone or with such Purchaser’s representative(s), otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.
4.6 Purchases by Groups. Each Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that it is not acquiring the Shares as part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act or otherwise purchasing with intent to control voting over the Company.
4
4.7 Independent Investigation. Each Purchaser in making his decision to purchase the Shares herein, has relied solely upon an independent investigation made by him and his legal, tax and/or financial advisors and, is not relying upon any oral representations of the Company.
4.8 No Advertising. Each Purchaser has not received any general solicitation or advertising regarding the offer of the Shares.
4.9 Certain Trading Activities. Each Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any short sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company regarding the investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including short sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.
5. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND PURCHASER
5.1 Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to employ the net proceeds from the purchase and sale of the Shares for purposes of its marketing, research and development, expansion as well as general working capital, and to further the operations of the Company.
5.2 Registration Rights. For purposes of this Section 5.2, all references to the Purchaser shall be deemed to mean and include, the Purchaser and its respective assigns as holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in Section 5.2.1(b) below). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to the re-sale of all Shares within 45 days of the first closing of the offering of the sale of Shares hereby and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain effectiveness of such registration statement within 90 calendar days of the first Closing of the offering of the Shares hereby.
5.2.1 Notice of Registration. If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder, other than (A) a registration relating to employee benefit plans, (B) a registration relating to a Rule 145 transaction or similar transaction, and (C) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as could be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities, the Company will:
(a) promptly give to each Purchaser written notice thereof; and
(b) use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by any such Purchaser, except as set forth in Section 5.2.2 below. In the event that the Company decides for any reason not to complete the registration of securities other than Registrable Securities as part of an underwritten public offering it shall specify that such Registrable Securities are to be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through underwriters under such registration.
“Registrable Securities” means the Shares which have not been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective registration statement (a “Registration Statement”) filed thereunder and which are not then eligible for resale by the holder thereof pursuant to Rule 144, the following, unless the Company’s underwriters deem that registration of such shares might materially injure an offering by the Company.
5
5.2.2 Registration Process. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5.2.1, the Company shall:

(b) Comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by each Purchaser as set forth in the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which the Registration Statement is withdrawn;
(c) Furnish to each Purchaser and its legal counsel identified to the Company (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of the Registration Statement, each Prospectus, and each amendment or supplement thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents, as the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities;
(d) Register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Purchasers reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in such jurisdictions such amendments (including post effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof at all times during the Registration Period, (iii) take all such other lawful actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all such other lawful actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (A) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify, (B) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Purchaser (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, rescission or removal of such stop order or other suspension;
(g) Take all such other lawful actions reasonably necessary to expedite and facilitate the disposition by the Purchaser of its Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods therefor provided in the Prospectus which are customary under the circumstances;

6
(i) In connection with any underwritten offering, deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably required by the underwriters; and

5.2.3 Obligations and Acknowledgements of the Purchasers. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, each Purchaser shall have the following obligations and hereby make the following acknowledgements:
(a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement that each Purchaser wishing to participate in the Registration Statement (i) shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and (ii) shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. Prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the information the Company requires from such Purchaser (the “Requested Information”) if such Purchaser elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. If a Purchaser notifies the Company and provides the Company the information required hereby prior to the time the Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company will file an amendment to the Registration Statement that includes the Registrable Securities of such Purchaser provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file such amendment to the Registration Statement at any time less than five (5) business days prior to the effective date.
(b) Each Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement;
(c) Each Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 5.2.2(e) or 5.2.2(f), such Purchaser shall immediately discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Purchaser’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5.2.2(e) and, if so directed by the Company, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Purchaser’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice; and
(d) Each Purchaser acknowledges that it may be deemed to be a statutory underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to the Registrable Securities being registered for resale by it, and if a Purchaser includes Registrable Securities for offer and sale within a Registration Statement such Purchaser hereby consents to the inclusion in such Registration Statement of a disclosure to such effect.
5.2.4 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and the fees and expenses of a Purchaser’s counsel) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Section 5.2, including, without limitation, all registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printing and engraving fees, accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company.
7
5.2.5 Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each underwriter, if any, which facilitates the disposition of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each such Person being sometimes hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as and when such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made in, or an omission or alleged omission from, such Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein or (ii) in the case of the occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 5.2.2(e), the use by the Indemnified Person of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has provided to such Indemnified Person an updated Prospectus correcting the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.
(b) Indemnification by the Purchasers and Underwriters. Each Purchaser agrees, as a consequence of the inclusion of any of its Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement, and each underwriter, if any, which facilitates the disposition of Registrable Securities shall agree, severally and not jointly, as a consequence of facilitating such disposition of Registrable Securities to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as a director nominee of the Company), its officers who sign any Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein 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, in the case of the Prospectus), not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser or underwriter expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Purchaser shall not be liable under this Section 5.2.5(b) for any amount in excess of the net proceeds paid to such Purchaser in respect of Registrable Securities sold by it.
(c) Notice of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by a Person seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.2.5 (an “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person against whom indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.2.5 is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out of pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in the preceding sentence, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment or contain any admission of wrongdoing.
8
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.2.5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or by such Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.2.5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers or any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5.2.5(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Limitation on Purchasers’ and Underwriters’ Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.2.5, in no event shall (i) any Purchaser have any liability under this Section 5.2.5 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds actually received by such Purchaser from the sale of Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered under the Securities Act and (ii) any underwriter be required to undertake liability to any Person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the aggregate discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter with respect to the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(f) Other Liabilities. The obligations of the Company under this Section 5.2.5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 5.2.5 shall be in addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 5.2.5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity.
5.2.6 Common Stock Issued Upon Stock Split, etc. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall apply to any shares of Common Stock or any other securities issued as a dividend or distribution in respect of the Shares.
9
5.2.7 Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights granted in this Section 5.2 shall terminate with respect to a security upon the date such security is first eligible to be resold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
5.3 Payment for Legal Opinions and Removal of Legends. The Company shall cover all costs associated with removal of any Securities Act restrictive legends, including, without limitation, the cost of replacement certificates and opinion or letter of Company counsel to the transfer agent, as well as delivery costs, for all Shares.
5.4 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) or other securities exchange (“Trading Market”), and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply, if required, to list all of the Shares on Nasdaq and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on Nasdaq. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed on Nasdaq or such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such Trading Market.
5.5 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
5.6 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
5.7 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute an agreement between each Purchaser and the Company and each Purchaser and not as an agreement between or among the Purchasers. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute (a) any agreement between or among the Purchasers or to create any rights or obligations between or among the Purchasers, each of whom is acting independently in entering into this Agreement or (b) the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
