SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PARTICIPATING PREFERRED
STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED PARTICIPATING STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 22nd day of November, 2005 by and among Navtech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and, the investors listed on Exhibit A hereto (each of whom individually is referred to herein as an “Investor” and collectively as the “Investors”).

 

In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Authorization of Preferred Stock; Purchase and Sale of Preferred Stock; Authorization of Warrants; Closing.

 

1.1.          Authorization of Preferred Stock.  The Company has authorized the issuance and sale of up to 1,600,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to be issued under this Agreement.  The rights, privileges, and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock are as set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B, which the Company shall adopt and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on or before the date of the Closing (as defined below).

 

1.2.          Authorization of Warrants.  The Company has authorized the issue and sale of its warrants (herein, together with any warrants issued in exchange therefor or replacement thereof called the “Warrants”) evidencing the rights to acquire an aggregate of 100,000 shares (subject to adjustment) of Common Stock (as defined below).  The Warrants shall be exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share and shall be substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C.

 

1.3.          Purchase and Sale of the Preferred Stock and Warrants; Reservation of Common Stock.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and on the basis of the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell to the Investors, and each such Investor, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company at the Closing (as defined below) (a) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A hereto, and (b) for no additional consideration, a Warrant initially exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such

 



 

Investor’s name on Exhibit A hereto.  The sale of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants to each Investor hereunder shall constitute a separate sale.  The Company has authorized and reserved and covenants to continue to reserve, free of preemptive rights and other preferential rights, a sufficient number of its previously authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) to satisfy the rights of conversion of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the rights of exercise of the holders of the Warrants.  Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be referred to in this Agreement as “Converted Shares”.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement and the Converted Shares shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Shares.”  The Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement and the Shares shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Securities”.

 

1.4.          Purchase Price and the Closing.  The purchase and sale of the Securities shall take place at a Closing to be held at the offices of Choate, Hall & Stewart LLP, Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts  02110, on such date and at such time as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Closing”).  The aggregate purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock being purchased by each Investor at the Closing is set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A under the heading “Aggregate Purchase Price”.  The Closing shall take place concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or at such other time as the parties shall mutually agree.  At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each of the Investors purchasing Securities a certificate or certificates, registered in such Investor’s name or such name as otherwise directed by such Investor, representing the number of Shares and Warrants to be acquired by such Investor pursuant to this Agreement against payment of the purchase price thereof by wire transfer, by check payable to the Company or such other form of payment acceptable to such Investor and the Company.

 

1.5.          Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities to consummate the acquisition of European Aeronautical Group AB (“EAG”) and for other general corporate purposes as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

2.             Representations and Warranties of the Company.  In order to induce the Investors to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Securities hereunder, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Investor, as of the date hereof, in each case subject to such exceptions as are set forth in the disclosure schedule attached hereto (the “Disclosure Schedule”), each such exception of which qualifies the representation and warranty that is specifically identified (by cross-reference or otherwise) as being qualified by such exception.  For the purposes of this Section 2, the term “Subsidiaries” shall mean those subsidiaries listed in Section 2.4 of the Disclosure Schedule and shall not mean EAG.

 

2.1.          Organization and Corporate Power.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of its assets, or

 

2



 

the nature of its activities, requires such qualification, except where failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect, each such jurisdiction being set forth in Section 2.1 of Disclosure Schedule.  The Company has all required corporate power and authority to own its property, to carry on its business as presently conducted or contemplated to be conducted, and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.  The copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, as amended to date, which have been furnished to the Investors by the Company, are correct and complete.

 

2.2.          Authorization.  This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date of the Closing by and among the Company, the Investors and the other parties thereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and any other agreements, instruments or documents entered into at the Closing by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and are the legal, valid and, assuming due execution and delivery by the other parties hereto and thereto, binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and moratorium laws and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.  The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company.

 

2.3.          Capitalization.  The entire authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 4,902,140 shares are issued and outstanding and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which, prior to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock contemplated in this Agreement, no shares are issued and outstanding.  The Company holds 733,188 shares of Common Stock in its treasury and holds no shares of preferred stock in its treasury.  The Company has authorized the issuance of 1,600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for issuance to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement.  When issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.  Upon exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock issued to the Investors in accordance with the terms thereof will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as described in Section 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule and except for the Warrants and the warrants issued pursuant to the Abry Warrant Agreement (defined below), there are no outstanding options or other rights to purchase or acquire from the Company, or exchangeable for or convertible into, any shares of capital stock.  The Company has reserved a total of not less than 400,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Reserved Employee Shares”) for purchase upon exercise of options granted or to be granted in the future to employees and consultants under the Navtech, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Equity Plan”).  Except as provided in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and that certain Warrant Agreement dated as of the date of the Closing, by and among the Company, Abry Mezzanine Partners, L.P. and the other parties thereto (the “Abry Warrant Agreement”), there are no preemptive rights with respect to the issuance or sale by the Company of the Securities.  Except as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or as imposed by applicable securities laws, upon the Closing there will be no restrictions on the

 

3



 

transfer or voting of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock other than restrictions on transfer necessary to preserve the exemptions pursuant to which such securities were issued without registration under applicable securities laws.  Other than as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, there are no existing rights with respect to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) of any of the Company’s securities.  The Company has not violated the 1933 Act or any state Blue Sky or securities laws in connection with the issuance of any of its securities.

 

2.4.          Subsidiaries.

 

(a)           Section 2.4 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a list of all subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiaries”).  Except for the Subsidiaries, the Company does not (i) own of record or beneficially, directly or indirectly, (A) any shares of capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock of any other corporation or (B) any participating interest in any partnership, joint venture or other non-corporate business enterprise, or (C) any assets comprising the business or obligations of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or other non-corporate business enterprise or (ii) control, directly or indirectly, any other entity.

2.8.          Title to Properties.  Other than (a) any lien in respect of current taxes not yet due and payable and (b) possible minor liens and encumbrances which do not in any case materially detract from the value of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and which have arisen in the ordinary course of business and shall be removed within a reasonable period, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title or leasehold title to all properties and assets necessary to their respective businesses as presently conducted and to all of their respective properties and assets, free and clear of all mortgages, security interests, liens, restrictions or encumbrances.  All machinery and equipment included in such properties which is necessary to the business of the

 

5



 

Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in good condition and repair except for reasonable wear and tear, and all leases of real or personal property to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party are fully effective and afford the Company and its Subsidiaries peaceful and undisturbed possession of the subject matter of the lease.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of any zoning, building or safety ordinance, regulation or requirement or other law or regulation applicable to the operation of owned or leased properties likely to impede the normal operation of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of violation with which it has not complied.

 

2.9.          Tax Matters.  There are no federal, state, county, local or foreign taxes due and payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that have not been paid.  Except as set forth on Section 2.9 of the Disclosure Schedule, there have been no examinations or audits of any tax returns or reports by any applicable federal, state, local or foreign governmental agency.    The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has duly filed all federal, state, county, local and foreign tax returns required to have been filed by it and there are in effect no waivers of applicable statutes of limitations with respect to taxes for any year.

 

2.10.        Contracts and Commitments.  The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended January 31, 2005, April 30, 2005 and July 31, 2005 include each material contract, obligation or commitment of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, and any material employment contracts (excluding any statutory employment arrangements required by law), stock redemption or purchase agreements, financing agreements, distribution right agreements, royalty agreements, licenses under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is licensee or licensor, leases of real property, pension, profit-sharing, retirement or stock option plans, agreements limiting competition or the conduct of business, agreements which by their terms expire one year or more after the date hereof, or any material agreements not made in the ordinary course of business.

 

2.11.        No Defaults.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material default (a) under its Certificate of Incorporation or its By-laws or any note, indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement, contract, purchase order or other instrument, document or agreement to which it is a party or (b) with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or any federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that specifically names the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  To the best of the Company’s knowledge, there exists no condition, event or act which after notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any of the foregoing.  To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no third party is in default under any agreement, contract or other instrument, document, or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, which default would have a material adverse effect on the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted.

2.12.        Intellectual Property.

 

(a)           Except as listed in Section 2.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns, free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance or other lien, or has the valid right to use all Intellectual Property (as defined below) used by it in its business as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no other person or entity (other than licensors of software that is generally commercially available and non-exclusive licensees of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business) has any rights to nor is claiming any rights to any of the Intellectual Property owned or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no other person or entity is infringing, violating or misappropriating any of the Intellectual Property used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property” means all (i) patents and patent applications, (ii) copyrights and registrations thereof, (iii) mask works and registrations and applications for registration thereof, (iv) computer software, data and documentation, (v) trade secrets and confidential business information, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice, know-how, manufacturing and production processes and techniques, research and development information and data, copyrightable works, financial, marketing and business data, pricing and cost information, business and marketing plans and customer and supplier lists and information, (vi) trademarks, service marks, trade names, domain names and applications and registrations therefor and (vii) any exclusive licenses or other proprietary rights relating to any of the foregoing.

 

(b)           To the best of the Company’s knowledge, none of the activities or business conducted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or proposed to be conducted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries infringes or violates (or in the past infringed or violated) any Intellectual Property of any other person or entity.  None of the activities or business conducted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or proposed to be conducted by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries constitutes an intentional misappropriation of (or in the past constituted an intentional misappropriation of) any Intellectual Property of any other person or entity.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any complaint, claim or notice alleging any such infringement, violation or misappropriation, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is no basis for any such complaint, claim or notice.  Section 2.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies each (i) patent that has been issued or assigned to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any of its Intellectual Property, (ii) pending patent applications that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has made with respect to any of its Intellectual Property, (iii) copyright or trademark registration or application with respect to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property, and (iv) license or other agreements pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has granted

 

7



 

any rights to any third party with respect to any of its Intellectual Property other than in the ordinary course of business.

 

(c)           Section 2.12(c) of the Disclosure Schedule identifies each agreement with a third party pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries obtains rights to Intellectual Property (other than software that is generally commercially available) that is owned by a party other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Other than license fees for software that is generally commercially available, neither the Company nor any or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to pay any royalties or other compensation to any third party in respect of its ownership, use or license of any of its Intellectual Property.

 

(d)           The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has taken reasonable precautions (i) to protect its rights in its Intellectual Property and (ii) to maintain the confidentiality of its trade secrets, know-how and other confidential Intellectual Property, and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, there have been no acts or omissions (other than those made based on reasonable, good faith business decisions) by the officers, directors, shareholders and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the result of which would be to materially compromise the rights of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to apply for or enforce appropriate legal protection of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Intellectual Property.

 

(e)           All of the Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has been created by employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries within the scope of their employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by independent contractors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who have executed agreements expressly assigning all right, title and interest in such Intellectual Property to the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be.  No portion of the Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries was jointly developed with any third party.

 

(f)            Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has embedded any open source, copyleft or community source code in any of its products generally available or in development, including but not limited to any libraries or code licensed under any General Public License, Lesser General Public License or similar license arrangement.

 

2.13.        Effect of Transactions.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, and compliance with the provisions hereof and thereof by the Company, do not and will not, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, (a) violate any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation or any ruling, writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any court, administrative agency or other governmental body’s (b) conflict with, or result in any breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, or result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge

6.             Preemptive Right of Purchase.

 

6.1.          Grant.  For so long as an Investor shall hold Series A Preferred Stock, the Company hereby grants to each such Investor, the right to purchase all or part of such Investor’s pro rata share of New Securities (as defined below) which the Company, from time to time, proposes to sell and issue.  An Investor’s pro rata share, for purposes of this purchase right, is the ratio of the number of Investors’ Common Shares (as defined below) which such Investor owns or has the right to acquire from the Company to the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, on a fully diluted and as converted basis.

 

6.2.          Preemptive Right Definitions.  For the purpose of this Section 6, the term “Investors’ Common Shares” shall mean the Common Stock issued or issuable to the Investors upon the Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the term “New Securities” shall mean any capital stock of the Company whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants

 

16



 

to purchase capital stock, and securities that in any way rank senior to the Common Stock; provided that the term “New Securities” does not include Series A Preferred Stock.

 

6.3.          Notice.  In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities and the price and the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same.  Each Investor shall have 20 business days from the date of receipt of any such notice to agree to purchase up to the Investor’s pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

 

6.4.          Sale.  In the event any Investor fails to exercise in full such Investor’s purchase right, the Company shall have 90 days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which such Investor’s option was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice.  To the extent the Company does not sell all the New Securities offered within said (90) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell such New Securities without first again offering such securities to each Investor in the manner provided above.

 

6.5.          Limitation.  The Company shall not have any obligation under this Section 6 to any Person that is not an “accredited investor”, as such term is used in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

6.7.          Retrospective Effect of Preemptive Right of Purchase.  The Company may proceed with the issuance of New Securities without first following procedures in Section 6.1 through Section 6.5 above, provided, that (i) the purchaser of such New Securities agrees in writing to take such New Securities subject to the provisions of this Section 6.7, and (ii) within ten (10) days following the issuance of such New Securities, the Company undertakes steps substantially similar to those in Section 6.1 through Section 6.5 above to offer to all Investors the right to purchase from the Company a pro rata portion of such New Securities or equivalent at the same price and terms applicable to the purchaser’s purchase thereof so as to achieve substantially the same effect from a dilution protection standpoint as if the procedures set forth in Section 6.1 through Section 6.5 have been followed prior to the issuance of such New Securities.
