COVENANTS
Borrower covenants to Creditor as follows:
5.01. Notices. Promptly upon becoming aware thereof, Borrower shall give Creditor notice of:
(a) any Event of Default or Potential Default, together with a written statement setting forth the details thereof, and the action being taken by Borrower to remedy the same; or
(b) the commencement, existence or threat of any proceeding by or before any Official Body against or affecting Borrower which, if adversely decided, would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower or on its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
5.02 Books and Records. Borrower shall maintain and keep proper records and books of account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all its dealings and business affairs.
5.03 Right to Participate in Future Financings. Creditor shall have the right, but not the obligation, so long as any part of the principal of the Loan (or any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) remains outstanding to participate, on the same terms and conditions as other investors, in any equity or debt financings effected by Borrower; and, in any such financing in which the Creditor may elect, in its sole discretion, to participate the Creditor may, at its option, apply the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) towards the purchase price of the securities acquired by it in any such financing.
5.04 Limitation on Equity and Debt Financings. So long as the Loan, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding, Borrower shall not, without the express written consent of the Creditor, which consent may be withheld in Creditor’s sole and absolute discretion, enter into any agreements, written or otherwise, that would (i) evidence an indebtedness to any person or entity, other than Creditor, that would require repayment by Borrower, or (ii) sell, in one or more transactions, shares of Borrower’s common stock representing, in the aggregate, more than twenty percent (20%) of Borrower’s shares of common stock outstanding as of the Closing Date.
5.05 Registration Rights. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that, beginning on the first anniversary of the Closing Date:
(a) Demand Registration. Creditor shall have demand registration rights for all of the shares issuable upon (i) conversion of the then principal balance of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loan and (ii) the exercise of the Warrant (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). Upon receipt by the Borrower of notice of a demand, Borrower shall, at its own expense, prepare and file a registration statement on behalf of Creditor.
4 |
(b) Piggy-Back Registration. If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower proposes to file a registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to an underwritten offering by the Borrower for its own account or for the account of others of any class of security (other than (a) a registration statement on Forms S-4 or S-8, (b) a registration statement filed in connection with an exchange offer or (c) a registration statement filed as a result of Section 2 hereof), then the Borrower shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to the Creditor at least 30 days prior to the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer the Creditor the opportunity to register such shares of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request. The Borrower shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the holders of Registrable Securities requested in writing within fifteen (15) days after the notice given by the Borrower to be included in the registration for such offering to include such securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Borrower included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering delivers an opinion to the Creditor that the total amount of securities which it or the Borrower or any other persons or entities intend to include in such offering is sufficiently large to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount or kind of securities to be offered for the accounts of the Creditor shall be reduced pro rata with respect to each holder to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities (other than those exercising demand registration rights) as well as the Borrower, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of securities intended to be offered by the Creditor than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities with respect to the amount of securities they intended to offer.
(c) Registration Procedures.
Whenever any Registrable Securities are required to be registered pursuant to Sections 5.05 (a) or (b) of this Agreement, the Borrower will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as diligently as practicable, and in connection therewith, the Borrower agrees that it shall also do the following:
(i) use its reasonable best efforts to diligently prepare for filing and file with the Commission a registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration to become effective promptly following such filing; provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Borrower will furnish to counsel to the holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement. And the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (other than exhibits, unless so requested) a reasonable time prior thereto, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of such counsel and such holders and underwriters, and will notify each holder of the Registrable Securities of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered;
(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for a period of not less than three years (or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or withdrawn or are eligible for sale by the holders thereof under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act without volume limitations); cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act applicable to it with regard to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus;
(iii) furnish to any holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters if any, without charge, at least one signed copy of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto upon request, and such number of conformed copies thereof and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as such holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities being sold by such holder (it being understood that the Borrower consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto unless the Borrower notifies such persons to the contrary); and pursuant to Section 152 under the 1933 Act, furnish to the New York Stock Exchange copies of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto for purpose of redelivery to its members upon their request, and furnish a reasonable number of additional copies thereof, when requested by the New York Stock Exchange, from time to time for the purpose of redelivery to members upon their request;

(vii) if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or any holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to the plan of distribution as the managing underwriter or underwriters or such holder, as the case may be, reasonably requests to be included therein, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by such holder to any underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and with respect to any other terms of the underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
(viii) as promptly as practicable after filing with the Commission of any document which is incorporated by reference in a prospectus contained in a registration statement, deliver a copy of such document to each holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement who so requests;

(xiii) make available for inspection by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Borrower (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Borrower’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such inspector in connection with such registration statement; provided that records which the Borrower determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration statement or (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction give notice to the Borrower and allow the Borrower at its expense, to undertake appropriate action and to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential; and
(xiv) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a cold comfort letter from the Borrower’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request.
