10. Covenants of the Company Regarding Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the March Subscribers, the March Subscribers’ officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the March Subscribers or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by Company or breach of any representation or warranty by Company in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company and the March Subscribers relating hereto.
(b) Promptly after receipt by a March Subscriber of notice of the commencement of any action, such March Subscriber shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company hereunder, notify the Company in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have the Subscriber other than under this Section 10(b) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such March Subscriber under this Section 10(b), except and only if and to the extent the Company is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against a March Subscriber and it shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such March Subscriber, and, after notice from the Company to such March Subscriber of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to such March Subscriber under this Section 10(b) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such March Subscriber in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both such March Subscriber and the Company and the Company shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to such March Subscriber which are different from or additional to those available to the Company or if the interests of the March Subscriber reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of each other, the March Subscriber and the Company, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the March Subscriber and Company, and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Company as incurred.
11.1. Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
(a) Within 3 business days (such third business day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that March Shares have been sold pursuant to a registration statement, if any, or Rule 144, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the March Subscriber and/or its broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to the March Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in Section 4(i) above (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted certificate, if any, to the March Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date. In the event that the Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the Company’s transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend (indefinitely, if pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) of the 1933 Act, or for six months if pursuant to the other provisions of Rule 144).
- 3 -
(b) In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of a March Subscriber, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the March Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company will cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of the March Subscriber’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in such DWAC system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11 hereof later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a March Subscriber. As compensation to a March Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the March Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.1 for an aggregate of 30 days, then each March Subscriber or assignee holding March Shares subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the March Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120% of the purchase price of such March Shares, or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the aforedescribed 30-day period and the denominator of which is the purchase price of the March Shares, as the case may be, during such 30 day period, multiplied by the purchase price of the March Shares (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”). The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
(d) In addition to any other rights available to a March Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to a March Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement, within 7 business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date and the March Subscriber or a broker on the March Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such March Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the March Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the March Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the March Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the March Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a March Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the March Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The March Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
(e) In the event a March Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 11.1 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.1, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such March Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with such March Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company or at the Company’s request or with the Company’s assistance, and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such March Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the March Shares which are subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in effect until the final unappealable disposition of the litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such March Subscriber to the extent March Subscriber obtains judgment in such March Subscriber’s favor.

11.3. Subscriber Questionnaire. Each March Subscriber shall answer the questions set forth in Selling Shareholder Questionnaire (“Subscriber Questionnaire”) in the form attached as Exhibit C and deliver such completed Subscriber Questionnaire to the Company and Broker on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller represents that the information provided by such Seller shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date and the date such Subscriber Questionnaire is delivered to the Company and Broker.
12. (a) Favored Nations Provision. Other than in connection with the Excepted Issuances (defined below), with respect to the March Shares still owned of record and beneficially by a March Subscriber until eighteen months after the Closing Date of the transactions contemplated by the Original Subscription Agreement, if the Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the purchase price in respect of the March Shares, without the consent of each March Subscriber, then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to each March Subscriber respecting those March Shares at the time of the Lower Price Issuance so that the average per share purchase price of such March Shares is equal to such other lower price per share and the Exercise Price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock. The delivery to a March Subscriber of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock upon the sooner of the agreement to or actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the purchase price of the March Shares. The rights of each March Subscriber set forth in this Section 12(a) are in addition to any other rights the March Subscriber has pursuant to any Transaction Document (as that term is defined in Section 5(c) of the Original Subscription Agreement), and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which such March Subscriber and Company are parties. Each March Subscriber is also given the right to elect to substitute any term or terms of any other offering in connection with a Lower Price Issuance for any term or terms of the Offering in connection with March Shares owned by such March Subscriber as of the date of a Lower Price Issuance.“Excepted Issuances” shall mean (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans described on Schedule 5(d), (iv) an underwritten public offering that raises gross proceeds of not less than $5,000,000 from the sale of Common Stock at not less than $1.00 per share, preferred stock the initial conversion ratio for which is equivalent to not less than $1.00 per share of Common Stock, and in the case of warrants or options issued in connection therewith at exercise prices of not less than $1.00 per share (“Underwritten Offering”), and (v) as a result of the exercise of Warrants which are granted or issued pursuant to the Original Subscription Agreement on the terms described in the Transaction Documents as of the Closing Date.

(e) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.

Subject to Section 13(d) hereof, the Company hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(f) Independent Nature of March Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each March Subscriber under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other March Subscriber, and no March Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other March Subscriber under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each March Subscriber has represented that the decision of each March Subscriber to purchase March Shares has been made by such March Subscriber independently of any other March Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other March Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other March Subscriber, and no March Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any March Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any March Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the March Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the March Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each March Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other March Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all March Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the March Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the March Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(g) Damages. In the event the March Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated damages pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the March Subscriber may elect to receive the greater of actual damages or such liquidated damages.
(h) Consent.

(j) Maximum Payments. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the March Subscriber and thus refunded to the Company.
- 7 -
(k) Calendar Days. All references to “days” in the Transaction Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated. The terms “business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours. Time periods shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were occurring in New York City. Any deadline that falls on a non-business day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the next business day and interest, if any, shall be calculated and payable through such extended period.
(l) Captions: Certain Definitions. The captions of the various sections and paragraphs of this Addendum have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience; such captions are not a part of this Addendum and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Addendum.

(m) Severability. In the event that any term or provision of this Addendum shall be finally determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that determination shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability: (i) by or before that authority of the remaining terms and provisions of this Addendum, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable term or provision were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority of any of the terms and provisions of this Addendum.
(n) Successor Laws. References in the Transaction Documents to laws, rules, regulations and forms shall also include successors to and functionally equivalent replacements of such laws, rules, regulations and forms.
