There has been no material default (nor does any set of circumstances exist that will cause such a default) with respect to any license granting Intellectual Property Rights to the Company or the Subsidiary.

(a)           No later than 55 calendar days after the Initial Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one or more registration statements (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (unless the Company is not then eligible to register for resale on Form S-3, in which case on another appropriate form) in order to register with the SEC the resale by the Purchasers, from time to time, of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares and a reasonable estimate of any Common Stock to be issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any convertible preferred stock, warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) through Nasdaq or the facilities of any national securities exchange on which the Companys Common Stock is then traded, or in privately negotiated transactions. Unless otherwise directed by the Purchasers or as required by the SEC or the rules and regulations of the SEC as then in effect, the Registration Statement shall contain the Plan of Distribution attached hereto as Exhibit E. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon thereafter as possible, but in any event prior to 105 days after Initial Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”).

13.



 

the issuance of the Subsequent Units until the Subsequent Units have been issued, then the Company shall not be required to file a registration statement with respect to the the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares issuable as a result of the issuance of the Subsequent Units until 45 days after the Subsequent Closing Date, nor cause such registration statement to become effective until 105 days after Subsequent Closing Date, and the terms “Filing Date” and “Effectiveness Deadline,” and all calculations set forth in this Section 9 based upon the late filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall, with respect to the registration statement relating to the Subsequent Units under these circumstances refer to the dates set forth in this sentence.

(b)           Not less than five trading days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any prospectus contained in a Registration Statement (a “Prospectus”) or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall, (i) furnish to the Purchasers for their review copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference), and (ii) notify each Purchaser in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Purchaser to be included in such Registration Statement. The Company will cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as the Purchasers shall deem reasonably necessary as soon as practicable after having received such inquiries.

(c)           The Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC (x) such amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith, and (y) such other filings required by the SEC, and (ii) take such other actions, in each case as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective and so that such Registration Statement will not contain an 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 not misleading, and so that such Prospectus will not contain an 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 under which they were made, not misleading, until the earlier of (A) the date that the Purchasers have completed the distribution related to the Registrable Securities, (B) such time that all Registrable Securities then held by the Purchasers can be sold without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or (C) such time as all Purchasers shall hold less than one percent of the Common Stock then outstanding as set forth under Rule 144(e)(1) under the Securities Act (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall not, during such period, voluntarily take any action that would result in the Purchasers not being able to offer and sell Registrable Securities during that period, unless such action is taken by the Company in good faith in compliance with Section 9.2(e) below.

(d)           (i) Furnish to the Purchasers with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement (including pre-effective and post-effecive amendments), Prospectuses (including supplemental prospectuses) and preliminary versions of the Prospectus filed with the SEC (“Preliminary Prospectuses”) in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Purchasers may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by the Purchasers; and (ii) upon request, inform each Purchaser who so requests that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 9.1(d)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Purchaser to that effect, will use its reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-

 

14.



 

effective amendment as promptly as reasonably possible and will promptly notify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) hereof when the amendment has become effective).

(e)           Notify the Purchasers as promptly as reasonably possible and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one trading day following the day (i) (A) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a review of a Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Purchasers); and (B) with respect to a Registration Statement or any posteffective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement will not contain an 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 not misleading, and so that such Prospectus will not contain an 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 under which they were made, not misleading.

(f)            File documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in states reasonably specified in writing by the Purchasers prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented.

(g)           Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption therefrom) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

(h)           Cooperate with the Purchasers to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to any transferee pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Purchasers may reasonably request.

(i)            In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing

 

15.



 

underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Purchaser participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(j)            In the event of any underwritten public offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

(k)           Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereto to be listed on Nasdaq, if the Common Stock is then listed on Nasdaq, and each other securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

(l)            The Company understands that each of the Purchasers disclaims being an underwriter, but any Purchasers being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder.

9.2          Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension; Damages.

(a)           Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees (i) that it will not sell, offer to sell, solicit offers to buy, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any right with respect to the Registrable Securities or otherwise take an action that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, other than transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 9.1 and as described below, (ii) that it shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Purchaser that such Purchaser 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 required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities, (iii) that it shall execute such documents in connection with such registration, that are customary for resale registration statements, as the Company may reasonably request, (iv) to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of such Purchasers election to exclude all of such Purchasers Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement and (v) that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution. Any delay of a Purchaser in taking the actions set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 9.2(a), or caused solely as a result of the use of the Plan of Distribution filed as Exhibit E hereto, shall be deemed a “Purchaser Delay” for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)           Subject to paragraph (c) below, in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the

 

16.



 

Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state 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; then the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing to each Purchaser (a “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchaser will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Purchasers receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus.

(c)           In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within forty-five (45) days after delivery of a Suspension Notice to Purchasers; provided, however, that Purchasers shall not be prohibited from selling Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions on more than three occasions of not more than forty-five (45) days each and not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve month period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company ceases to be eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 and resolution of any Suspension requires the Company to file a post-effective amendment on Form S-1, (i) the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within ninety (90) days after delivery of a Suspension Notice to Purchasers, and (ii) the Purchasers shall not be prohibited from selling Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement as a result of Suspensions on or after the date that the Company ceases to be eligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 on more than three occasions of not more than sixty (60) days each in any twelve month period.  In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the Company fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 9.2(c).

(d)           Provided that a Suspension in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 9.2 is not then in effect a Purchaser may sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such Registrable Securities. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company will

 

17.



 

provide an adequate number of current Prospectuses to the Purchaser and to any other parties requiring such Prospectuses.

(e)           In the event of a sale of Registrable Securities by a Purchaser, unless such requirement is waived by the Company in writing, such Purchaser shall deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, of a Seller’s Certificate of Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix III.

(f)            If (i) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities (a) is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline or (b) has not been declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, or (ii) a Registration Statement ceases to be effective as to, or ceases to be available to the Purchasers with respect to, all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period other than during the continuance and for the enumerated time periods of any Suspension in accordance with paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 9.2 (any such event, a “Registration Default”), then the Company shall pay each Purchaser liquidated damages in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser for the Registrable Securities available for sale under the Registration Statement at the time of the Registration Default per calendar month, including a pro rata portion thereof for any partial calendar month, that such Registration Default continues (Liquidated Damages); provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be entitled to Liquidated Damages with respect to any Registrable Securities previously sold or then eligible to be sold within a three (3) month period without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The Company shall not in any event be required to pay Liquidated Damages for more than one Registration Default at any given time, and upon cure of a Registration Default (by the filing or the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as applicable) such Liquidated Damages shall cease to accrue. All accrued Liquidated Damages shall be paid in cash to the Purchasers entitled thereto, in proportion to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by each such Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, all periods in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be tolled to the extent of any delays caused solely by any Purchaser Delay.

9.3          Expenses of Registration.  Except as specifically provided herein, all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 9 hereof, including, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Purchasers (which shall be in addition to any fees pursuant to Sections 12.9 but which shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000), blue sky fees and expenses, fees and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company) (collectively, the “Registration Expenses”) shall be borne by the Company.

Furthermore, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in a registration statement regarding such Purchaser or its plan of distribution set forth in such registration statement.

9.5          Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 9.

(a)           The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the partners, officers and directors of each Purchaser, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) 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, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such Registration Statement; and the Company will pay as incurred to each such Purchaser, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.5 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Company from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which (i) occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement by such Purchaser, partner, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Purchaser or (ii) based upon a claim that a Preliminary Prospectus contained an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such person was not sent or given a copy of the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person and the untrue statement contained in or omission from such Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the final Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented) unless such failure is the result of noncompliance by the Company of Section 9.1(b) or (d) hereof; provided, further, that this indemnification agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to the Purchasers.

19.



 

(b)           Each Purchaser will, if Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser are included in the securities as to which such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement is being filed, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, any underwriter and any other Purchaser selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Purchasers partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Purchaser, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Purchaser, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Purchaser may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are 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 by such Purchaser specifically for use in connection with such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; and each such Purchaser will pay as incurred any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other person registering shares under such registration, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other person registering shares under such Registration Statement in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9.5 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Purchaser from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Purchaser; provided, further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 9.5 exceed the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Purchaser from the sale of such Purchasers Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.5 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9.5, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 9.5, unless and to the extent that such failure is materially prejudicial to the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9.5.

20.



 

(d)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, or (ii) if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Purchaser hereunder exceed the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Purchaser from the sale of such Purchasers Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(e)           The obligations of the Company and the Purchasers under this Section 9.5 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement and the termination of this Agreement.

9.6          Agreement to Furnish Information.  In connection with an underwritten registration in which such Purchaser is participating, each Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Purchaser shall provide such information related to such Purchaser as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Companys securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

9.7          Assignment of Registration Rights.  The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 9 may be assigned (but only with the related obligations) by a Purchaser, provided (i) each transfer to each transferee or designee involves either (X) all Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser, (Y) not less than twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of Preferred Stock, or (Z) an affiliate, partner or former partner of such Purchaser, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee, (iii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to assume the obligations of this Section 9 and (iv) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such shares by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act (for purposes of this statement, if the transferee (x) is able to sell all of the Restricted Securities held by such transferee pursuant to Rule 144(k) or (y) holds less than 1% of the Company’s Common Stock following such transfer and has the ability to sell all of such Common Stock under Rule 144

 

21.



 

within a three month period, then further disposition will not be deemed to be restricted under the Securities Act).

9.8          Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a)           Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act;

(b)           File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c)           So long as a Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Purchaser forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Purchaser may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

9.9          S-3 Eligibility.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to meet the requirements for the use of Form S-3 for registration of the resale by the Purchasers of the Registrable Securities. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in a timely manner and take all other necessary action so as to maintain such eligibility for the use of Form S-3.

9.10        Termination of Registration Rights.  Subject to the rights of transferees under Section 9.7 hereof, the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 9 shall terminate with respect to each Purchaser severally upon the earlier of (A) the date that such Purchaser has completed the distribution related to such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities, (B) such time that all Registrable Securities then held by such Purchaser can be sold without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or (C) such time as such Purchaser shall hold less than one percent of the Common Stock then outstanding as set forth under Rule 144(e)(1) under the Securities Act and has the ability to sell all of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities under Rule 144 within a three month period.  Following a termination of the Companys obligations pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to a Purchaser, any Securities held by such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be Registrable Securities thereafter, and the obligations of such Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9 shall also terminate.

9.11        Amendment of Registration Rights.  Provisions of this Section 9 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Purchasers who then hold not less than 75% of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or

 

22.



 

waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9.11 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities.

9.12        Legends.  Each certificate representing Shares shall (unless such Shares are then eligible for transfer pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or as otherwise permitted under applicable law or the provisions of the Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws or as provided elsewhere in this Agreement):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL OR BASED ON OTHER WRITTEN EVIDENCE IN THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

 

Nothing in this Section 9.12 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict the ability of the holder of any Securities to transfer any such Securities to an affiliate, partner or former partner of such holder in compliance with the Securities Act, nor shall any legal opinion be required in connection therewith.

SECTION 10.               BROKER’S FEE.    The Company and each Purchaser (severally and not jointly) hereby represent that there are no brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Units, and shall indemnify each other for any such fees for which they are responsible.

SECTION 11.               NOTICES.   All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent by email, confirmed facsimile or mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when so sent in the case of email or facsimile transmission, or when so received in the case of mail or courier, and addressed as follows:

(b)           if to the Purchasers, at the address as set forth at the end of this Agreement, or at such other address or addresses as may have been furnished to the Company in writing.

SECTION 12.               MISCELLANEOUS. 

12.1        Waivers and Amendments.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, terminated, modified or amended except upon the written consent of the Company and holders of at least 75% of the Shares (not taking into account any Shares that have been sold and no longer bear the restrictive legend referred to in Section 9.12).

12.2        Agreement to Vote for Issuance of Subsequent Units.  Each Purchaser agrees to vote all shares of voting capital stock the Company, registered in its respective name or for which it is otherwise entitled to vote, in favor of the sale of the Subsequent Units to be issued pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement

12.3        Headings.   The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement.

12.4        Severability.   In case any provision contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

12.5        Governing Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California as applied to contracts entered into and performed entirely in California by California residents, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

12.6        Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties.

12.7        Successors and Assigns.   Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

 

24.



 

12.8        Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and other documents delivered pursuant hereto, including the exhibits, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

12.9        Payment of Fees and Expenses.  Each of the Company and the Purchasers shall bear its own expenses and legal fees incurred on its behalf with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the reasonable fees of and expenses of one special counsel for Purchasers, not to exceed $25,000; provided, further, that the Company shall also reimburse the reasonable fees of and expenses of one further special counsel for Purchasers in the preparation of such filings as Purchasers may be required to make as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act, not to exceed $7,500 in the aggregate.  If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

12.10      Waiver of Conflicts.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that Cooley Godward LLP (“Cooley Godward”), outside general counsel to the Company, has in the past performed and is or may now or in the future represent one or more Purchasers or their affiliates in matters unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Investment”), including representation of such Purchasers or their affiliates in matters of a similar nature to the Investment.  The applicable rules of professional conduct require that Cooley Godward inform the parties hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent.  Cooley has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated the terms of the Investment solely on behalf of the Company.  It is the belief of Cooley Godward that these terms and conditions represent an arm’s length transaction between the Company and Purchasers. Purchasers have been represented by independent legal counsel regarding the terms of the Financing.  The Company and each Purchaser hereby (a) acknowledge that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation; (b) acknowledge that with respect to the Investment, Cooley Godward has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser; and (c) gives its informed consent to Cooley Godward’s representation of the Company in the Investment.

TO THE PURCHASERS LISTED

ON EXHIBIT A HERETO

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Pharsight Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of June 25, 2002 (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), of an aggregate of 1,814,662 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,814,662 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrants”).  We are rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Agreement.  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Agreement.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made pursuant to the Agreement by the various parties and originals or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates, opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed below.  As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and have not independently sought to verify such matters.  Where we render an opinion “to the best of our knowledge” or concerning an item “known to us” or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based solely upon (i) an inquiry of attorneys within this firm who perform legal services for the Company, (ii) receipt of a certificate executed by an officer of the Company covering such matters, and (iii) such other investigation, if any, that we specifically set forth herein.

 

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed:  the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents; the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreement and the Warrants (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”)), where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents.  We have also assumed:  that all individuals executing and delivering documents in their

 

 

D-1.



 

individual legal capacities had the legal capacity to so execute and deliver; that you have received all documents you were to receive under the Transaction Documents; that the Transaction Documents are obligations binding upon the parties thereto other than the Company; if you or any Purchasers are a corporation or other entity, that such entities have filed any required California franchise or income tax returns and have paid any required California franchise or income taxes; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction Documents that would modify or interpret the terms of the Transaction Documents or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

 

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California and the General Corporation Law of Delaware.  We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof.  We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any antifraud law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.

 

With respect to the Company’s qualification to do business in various states identified in paragraph 1 below, we have relied exclusively on certificates of public officials; we have made no further investigation.

 

With respect to our opinions in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9, we have assumed:  (a) that with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants to be issued as part of the Subsequent Units, that the requisite vote of stockholders will be obtained under the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; (b) that except with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants to be issued as part of the Initial Units, there shall have been no change in law, facts or circumstances from the date of the sale of the Initial Units; (c) that all Preferred Shares, Warrants and other shares referred to in such opinions shall have been issued in compliance with the terms of the Agreement; and (d) that the Preferred Shares will convert or be redeemed within seven years of the date hereof.

 

On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the foregoing qualifications, we are of the opinion that:

FORM OF PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders may sell the shares of common stock from time to time. When we use the term “selling stockholders” in this prospectus, it includes donees, distributees, pledgees and other transferees (including without limitation pursuant to non-sale related transfers) who are selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder whose name appears in “Selling Stockholders”. If we are notified by a selling stockholder that a donee, distributee, pledgee or other transferee intends to sell more than 500 shares, we may file a supplement to the prospectus naming the successor-in-interest.  The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may make these sales on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise, at prices and terms that are then-prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, at fixed prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may use one or more of the following methods to sell the shares of common stock:

 

•                                            a block trade in which a selling stockholder’s broker or dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell all or a portion of the block as a principal to facilitate the transaction;

•                                            a broker or dealer may purchase the common stock as a principal and then resell the common stock for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

•                                            an exchange or over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange or Nasdaq;

 

•                                            a pledge to secure debt and other obligations; and

•                                            ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers.

 

The selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise. In these transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders also may sell shares short and redeliver the shares to close out short positions. The selling stockholders may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the shares. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer the shares under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may loan or pledge the shares to a broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may sell the loaned shares, or upon a default the broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares under this prospectus.

 

In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales. To the extent required, this Prospectus will be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

 

Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from selling stockholders. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of the shares for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell

 



 

as principal, or both. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with the sale. Broker-dealers or agents and any other participating broker-dealers or the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in connection with sales of the shares. Accordingly, any such commission, discount or concession received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or concessions under the Securities Act. Because selling stockholders may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, the selling stockholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Any shares covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. The selling stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale of the shares. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities in connection with their offering of the shares, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
