The Company Parties have responded to all questions in the due diligence questionnaire (and any amendment or additional questions or questionnaires) provided by the Purchaser prior to the date hereof completely and truthfully and have provided in response all of the information available to them that would reasonably be qualified as responsive thereto, except where such Company Parties have indicated to the Purchaser that specific information could not be provided and why.

2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):

 

(a) Organization; Authority. The Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of the Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject only to the Standard Enforceability Exceptions.

 

(b) Own Account. The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. The Purchaser is acquiring the Transaction Securities acquired as of the date this representation is made as principal for its own account, in the ordinary course of business, and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Transaction Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any such Security in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of any such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law; provided, that nothing in this clause (b) shall be construed to limit the Purchaser’s ability to sell such Securities or to require the Purchaser to hold any such Securities for any minimum or other specific term and the Purchaser reserves the right to dispose of any such Securities at any time in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

(d) Experience of The Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Purchased Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle (whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets), the representation set forth above in this clause ‎(f) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to acquire the Purchased Securities covered by this Agreement.

On the next trading day following receipt of such notice and request from the Purchaser, the Company shall deliver an acknowledgment of such amendment in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion; provided, that the Company’s failure to timely provide such acknowledgement shall not change the effectiveness of such amendment.

In addition, the Company shall update with the Transfer Agent at least monthly the amount reserved pursuant to this Section 4.3(a).

4.4 Disclosures.

 

(a) No Material Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, each Company Party covenants and agrees that none of it, its Related Parties or any other person acting on their behalf, will provide the Purchaser, any Purchaser Party or their respective agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, could constitute, or that any Company Party believes constitutes or could constitute, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such information is disclosed to the public or the Purchaser shall have entered after the date hereof into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. There has been no public announcement of a pending or proposed Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control that has not been consummated. Each Company Party represents and warrants that the Purchaser has not been provided by any Company Party, any Related Party of any Company Party, or any other person acting on their behalf, any information, that constitutes, or may constitute, or that any such person believes constitutes or may constitutes, material non-public information with respect to any Company Party. Any non-disclosure agreement entered into between the Purchaser and any Company Party is terminated as provided in clause ‎(b) below. Therefore, the Purchaser does not have any duty of confidentiality (or a duty not to trade on the basis of material non-public information) to any Company Party, any of Related Party of any Company Party, or any other person acting on their behalf, and is governed only by applicable Regulations. Each Company Party understands and confirms that the Purchaser is and shall be relying on the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants in effecting transactions in Transaction Securities and any other Securities of the Company.

(b) Disclosure of Transaction Documents. The Company shall issue a press release by 9 a.m. on the trading day next following the date hereof publicly announcing the execution of the Transaction Documents and shall file with the SEC a current report on Form 8-K or 1-U, as applicable, that includes the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto within the time required by the Exchange Act. The Company represents and warrants to, and agree with, each Purchaser Party that, from and after such disclosure, it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any Purchaser Party or their Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) by any Company Party (including through agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Thereafter, to the extent any new Transaction Document (including any notice provided thereunder) could be argued to include any material non-public information, the Company shall within two (2) trading days disclose such Transaction Document on Form 8-K or 1-U, as applicable. From and after such disclosure, the Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser Party that it shall have publicly disclosed (and shall ensure that as part of such disclosure and thereafter it shall publicly disclose within two (2) trading days) all material, non-public information delivered to any Purchaser Party or any of their Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) by any Company Party or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon such disclosure, any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any Contractual Obligation, whether written or oral, between any Company Party, any of their Affiliates or any of their respective Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors), on the one hand, and any Purchaser Party or any of their Related Parties (or their respective agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors), on the other hand, shall immediately terminate and, from and after such disclosure, no such obligations shall be valid, even if entered into after the date of this Agreement (unless such obligation specifically mentions and refers to this clause (a) as inapplicable in a writing signed by such Purchaser Party), including “click through” agreements and confidentiality clauses incorporated in larger agreements.

 

(c) No Form D Filing. This is a private transaction negotiated with, and tailored to, the Purchaser and no Securities were offered or sold to the Purchaser by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising. This transaction does not rely on Regulation D under the Securities Act and, therefore, the Company does not intend or need to file a Form D.

 

(d) Press Releases and other Public Disclosures. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing other press releases and making any other public disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the Purchaser or any Company Party shall issue any such public disclosure without each other’s prior consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by Regulation, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Irrespective of the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser in any filing with the SEC or any Trading Market or any other Governmental Authority, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except as required by Regulations, in which case the Company shall provide to the Purchaser prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause ‎(d).

 

(e) Use of Purchaser Trademark. Notwithstanding anything else in any Transaction Document, no Company Party shall, and each Company Party shall ensure that their Subsidiaries do not, publicly disclose the name, trademark, service mark, symbol, logo (or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof) of, or otherwise refer to, the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party (including in any filing with the SEC, regulatory agency or Trading Market for any Securities of any Company Party or their Subsidiaries, including any Form 8-K or, as applicable, Form 1-U filing) without the prior consent of the Purchaser (including in any press release, letterhead, public announcement or marketing material), except, and then only after consulting with such Purchaser, to the extent required to do so under applicable Regulations (including as required in any registration statement filed with the SEC). None of the Company Parties and their Affiliates shall represent that any Company Party or any of its Affiliates, any product or service of the Company Parties or their Affiliates, or any know how or policy or practice of the Company Parties or their Affiliates has been approved or endorsed by any Purchaser Party.

 

(f) Financing Statements and Other Periodic Filings. Following the date of this Agreement, (i) the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by Exchange Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act and (ii) the Company shall timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Whether or not the Company shall be subject to the Exchange Act, the Company shall meet the current public information requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act.

(g) Public Information Failure Payments. At any time during the period commencing from the six (6)-month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Transaction Securities have been sold or may be sold by the Purchaser without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell its Transaction Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser’s Purchased Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchaser to transfer pursuant to Rule 144 any Transaction Securities. The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section ‎4.4(g) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) business day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments when required by the preceding sentence, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per month (accruing and due daily and prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief and recovery of loss profits.

 

(h) Disclosures to the Purchaser. The Company shall immediately notify the Purchaser in writing of the occurrence of (i) any Default or Event of Default, (ii) any failure to comply with any Transaction Document, (ii) any Disqualification Event relating to any Company Covered Person and (iii) any event that, with the passage of time, would become such a Disqualification Event. Each Company Party shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) business days) provide to each Purchaser Party any documents or other information requested by such Purchaser Party to determine compliance with any provision of any Transaction Document, to Sell any Transaction Security or to enforce its rights under any Transaction Document.

 

4.5 DWAC Eligible, Freely Tradeable and Listed, Piggyback Registration.

 

(a) DWAC. The Company shall ensure that (i) its shares of Common Stock are and remain eligible at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for full services pursuant to DTC’s operational arrangements, including transfer through DTC’s Deposits/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system, and not subject to any restriction or limitation imposed by or on behalf of the Deposit Trust Corporation on any of its services or any other restriction or limitation on the use of the services provided by the Deposit Trust Corporation (i.e., a “DTC chill”), (ii) the Company has been approved (without revocation) by the DTC’s underwriting department, (iii) the Transfer Agent is approved as an agent in the DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, (iv) the Issuable Securities are otherwise eligible for delivery via DWAC, and (v) the Transfer Agent does not have a policy prohibiting or limiting delivery of the Issuable Securities via DWAC (“DWAC Eligible”).

 

(b) Freely Tradeable. The Company shall ensure that all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents (including the Issuable Securities) are freely tradeable. For the purposes of this Agreement, such shares shall be deemed “freely tradeable” if such shares are eligible for resale pursuant to (i) Rule 144 (provided the Company is compliant with its current public information requirements) promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or such shares are the subject of a then effective registration statement or (ii) an effective “shelf” or resale registration statement under the Securities Act, in customary form and reasonably acceptable to all of the holders thereof, is effective under the Securities Act, registering the resale of such Transaction Securities by all such holders and names all such holders as selling security holders thereunder.

 

(c) Piggyback Registrations.

- 13 - 
 

 

(d) Trading Markets. The shares of Common Stock are trading, and the Company believes in good faith that they shall continue to trade uninterrupted, on the Principal Trading Market and all other Trading Markets for such Common Stock. All of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents (including the Issuable Securities) are listed or quoted for trading, and the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that such shares continue to be listed or quoted for trading interrupted, on the Principal Trading Market and each such other Trading Market.

 

4.6 Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a) The Transaction Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with applicable securities Regulations. In connection with any transfer of Transaction Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section ‎4.6(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, at the Company’s sole expense in the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Transaction Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

(b) The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, for as long as is required by this Section ‎4.6, of a legend on all of the Purchased Securities in the following form:

 

[THIS SECURITY HAS NOT] [NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [CONVERTIBLE][EXCHANGEABLE] HAVE] BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES REGULATIONS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE OR PLEDGED AS SECURITY IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION WITHOUT RELIANCE ON AN EXEMPTION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES REGULATIONS. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [CONVERSION] [EXERCISE] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN FROM AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of its Transaction Securities to a financial institution that is a sophisticated investor and an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Transaction Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Company’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Transaction Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Transaction Securities.

 

(c) No certificate evidencing any Transaction Security shall contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section ‎4.6(b)) in the following cases: (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Transaction Security is effective under the Securities Act; (ii) following any sale of such Transaction Security pursuant to Rule 144; (iii) if such Transaction Security is eligible for sale under Rule 144; or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall upon request of the Purchaser and at the Company’s sole expense cause its counsel (or at the Purchaser’s option, exercised in its sole discretion, counsel selected by the Purchaser) to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after any of the events described in (i)-(iv) in the preceding sentence to effect the removal of any legend (including that described in Section ‎4.6(b)), with a copy to the Purchaser and its broker. If all or any portion of any Purchased Security is converted or exercised, respectively, at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Issuable Securities, or if any Transaction Security may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) then such Issuable Security or Transaction Security shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section ‎4.6(c), it will, no later than two (2) trading days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing a Transaction Security issued with a restrictive legend (such second (2nd) trading day being referred to as the “Legend Removal Date” of such Transaction Securities of the Purchaser), instruct the Transfer Agent to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section ‎4.6. Certificates for the Transaction Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser.

 

- 14 - 
 

 

(d) In addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $1,000 per trading day for each trading day after the Legend Removal Date for such Transaction Securities of the Purchaser until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Transaction Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

4.7 Trading Activities of Purchaser. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that (i) the Purchaser has not been asked by the Company to agree, nor has the Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling Transaction Securities of the Company or from entering into Short Sales or Derivatives based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Transaction Securities for any specified term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by the Purchaser, specifically including Short Sales or Derivatives, before or after any Closing, as well as the closing of any future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities, (iii) the Purchaser, and counter-parties in Derivatives to which the Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the shares of Common Stock and (iv) the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any Derivative. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) the Purchaser may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Transaction Securities are outstanding, including, during the periods that the value of the Issuable Securities deliverable with respect to Transaction Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities and Derivatives do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

 

4.8 Indemnification of Each Purchaser Party.

 

(a) Each Company Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify against, and hold harmless from, the Purchaser, its Related Parties, each person who controls any of them (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and their agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors (each, a “Purchaser Party”) any and all Losses that any Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any of the following: (a) the execution, existence, administration, performance or enforcement by any Purchaser Party of any of the Transaction Documents or consummation of any transaction described therein, including any real or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or real or alleged omission of any material fact, in any SEC Report, including any registration statement, or any prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (b) the existence of, perfection of, a Lien upon or the Sale or collection of, or any other damage, Loss, failure to return or other realization upon any Collateral, (c) any representation or warranty of any Company Party or any of their Related Parties in any Transaction Document being untrue when made or the failure of any Company Party or any of their Related Parties (whether directly or through their agents, contractors, trustees, representatives and advisors) to observe, perform or discharge any of the covenants or duties under any of the Transaction Documents, or (d) any Proceeding, whether or not any Purchaser Party is a party thereto (including Proceedings instituted by any Governmental Authority or any holder of any equity interest in, or other direct or indirect investor in, the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party) with respect to any of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated therein. Additionally, if any Taxes (excluding Taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of the recipient of any payment made under any Transaction Document, but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be imposed on any Company Party or Purchaser Party, whether or not lawfully payable, on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Transaction Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of obligations hereunder, by reason of any applicable Regulations now or hereafter in effect, each Company Party shall, jointly and severally, pay (or shall promptly reimburse such Purchaser Party for the payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest, penalties, expenses and other Losses with respect thereto), and will indemnify and hold the Purchaser Parties harmless from and against all Losses arising therefrom or in connection therewith. The foregoing indemnities shall not apply to Losses (x) incurred by any Purchaser Party as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) incurred by any Purchaser Party and directly and solely caused by the Company Parties including in SEC Reports or any prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto information about such Purchaser Party provided by such Purchaser Party and approved by such Purchaser Party for inclusion in such filing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document, the obligations of the Company Parties with respect to each indemnity given by them in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in favor of the Purchaser Parties shall survive the payment in full of the Notes, the exercise of the Warrants, the Sale of the Transaction Securities and the termination of this Agreement. The indemnification required by this Section ‎4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnification contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against any Company Party or others and any liabilities any Company Party may be subject to pursuant to any Regulation.

5.3 Modifications and Signatures.

 

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain and constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior negotiations, agreements, and understandings, whether written or oral, of the parties hereto, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, including any non-disclosure agreements or obligations of the Purchaser that may exist, all of which are hereby terminated pursuant to Section 4.4(b).

 

(b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be effective without the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. No waiver or consent shall be effective against any party unless given in writing by such party and then any such waiver shall then be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. Any modification effected in accordance with accordance with this Section 5.3(b) shall be binding upon the Purchaser, each other holder of Purchased Securities and the Company Parties.

 

(c) Beneficiaries; Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any other Transaction Document with respect to such Transaction Document, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall bind and inure solely to the benefit of the Company Parties, the Purchaser, the other Purchaser Parties, and their respective successors and, if permitted, assigns; provided, that no Company Party may assign, Sell, or Sell, issue, negotiate or grant participations in, all or any part of any right, obligation, benefit, title or interest under, including any remedy under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, without the Purchaser’s prior written consent and any assignment done without such consents shall be void ab initio. Unless otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, the Purchaser may Sell, or Sell, issue, negotiate or grant participations in, all or any part of any right, obligation, benefit, title or interest under, including any remedy under, any Transaction Security or Transaction Document without the consent of any Company Party; provided, that (i) any transferee of Purchased Securities shall agree in a writing for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Company to be bound, with respect to, and in proportion to, such transferred Purchased Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the Purchaser and, while failure to obtain such agreement shall not affect the underlying transfer of such Purchased Securities, any such agreement shall be effective, ratably in proportion to such transfer, to make such transferee a party to the Transferred Documents as the Purchaser and to be bound by, and benefit from, the provisions of such Transaction Documents applying to the Purchaser and shall, to the extent of such transfer, relieve the Purchaser of all of its obligations hereunder with respect to any event occurring after the effective date of such agreement and (ii) any transferee of the rights, titles and obligations of the Purchaser under Transaction Documents shall agree in a writing for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Company to be bound, with respect to, and to the extent of, such Transaction Documents, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the Purchaser and any such agreement shall be effective, to the extent of such transfer, to make such transferee a party to such Transferred Documents as the Purchaser and to be bound by, and benefit from, the provisions of such Transaction Documents applying to the Purchaser and shall, to the extent of such transfer, relieve the Purchaser of all of its obligations hereunder with respect to any event occurring after the effective date of such agreement; provided, further, that, upon the effectiveness of any such transfer, the Company shall agree to execute and deliver to the existing Purchaser and the new Purchasers new Transaction Documents (including this Agreement), each of which shall be identical to the existing Transaction Documents except that they shall, mutatis mutandis and in proportion to such transfer, reflect the identity of the new Purchasers after giving effect to, and to the extent of, such assignment (which may include the existing Purchaser) and, in the case of a partial transfer, their respective allocations of the Purchase Prices, as well as, if requested by the existing Purchaser or any new Purchaser, appropriate conforming changes to other provisions of any Transaction Documents.

 

- 18 - 
 

 

(d) No Implied Waivers or Notice Rights. No notice to or demand on any Company Party, whether or not in any Proceeding, pursuant to any Transaction Document shall entitle any Company Party to any other or further notice (except as specifically required hereunder or under any other Transaction Document) or demand in similar or other circumstances. The failure by any Purchaser Party at any time or times to require strict performance by any Company Party of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the granting of any waiver or indulgence shall not waive, affect or otherwise diminish any right of any Purchaser Party thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance with such provision, shall not affect, or operate a waiver under, any other provision of any Transaction Document (except as specifically mentioned) and shall not constitute a course of dealing by such Purchaser Party at variance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and therefore, among other things, shall not be construed to require any notice by such Purchaser Party of its intent to require strict adherence to the terms of such Transaction Document in the future). No waiver of any Default or Event of Default, and no default under, or breach of any provision, condition or requirement of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default, default or breach of, or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; nor shall any failure, delay or omission of any party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any manner impair the exercise of such or any other right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. None of the foregoing actions shall in any way affect the ability of each Purchaser Party, in its discretion, to exercise any rights available to it under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or under applicable Regulations, except as specifically agreed in any written waiver or other modification made in accordance with accordance with this Section 5.3.

 

(e) Counterparts. This Agreement and each Transaction Document may be executed in counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. In proving this Agreement in any Proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by email or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart by hand.

 

(f) Electronic Signatures. Each party agrees that the electronic signatures, whether digital or encrypted, of the parties included in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. Electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, including emailed electronic signatures. The Company expressly agrees that this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents are “transferable records” as defined in applicable Regulations relating to electronic transaction and that it may be created, authenticated, stored, transmitted and transferred in a manner consistent with and permitted by such applicable Regulations.

 

5.4 Notices.

 

(a) All notices, requests, demands, and other communications to either party hereto given under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be in writing (including email) and shall be given to such party at the physical address or send to the email address set forth in the signature pages hereof or at such other physical address or email address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to the Purchaser and the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section ‎5.4.

 

(b) Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, three (3) business days after such communication is deposited in the U.S. Mail with first class postage pre-paid, addressed to the noticed party at the address specified herein, (ii) if by nationally recognized overnight courier, when delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party, (iii) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered with receipt acknowledged in writing by the noticed party or (iv) if given by email, when delivered (receipt by the sender of a receipt using the “return receipt” function or receipt of a reply email being presumptive evidence of receipt thereof); provided, that, if the Common Stock is listed on a Trading Market and such email is not sent prior to the last trading hour of the Principal Trading Market of the Common Stock on a trading day, such email shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of trading on the next trading day for such Principal Trading Market. Any notice that must be given “promptly” or “immediately” shall be given by email. Any written notice, request or demand that is not sent in conformity with the provisions hereof shall nevertheless be effective on the date that such notice, request or demand is actually received by the individual to whose attention at the noticed party such notice, request or demand is required to be sent.

5.5 Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Regulations and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Purchaser Party is hereby authorized by the Company Parties at any time or from time to time, without notice or demand to any Company Party or to any other person, any such notice or demand being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness or other amounts at any time held or owing by such Company Party to or for the credit or the account of any Company Party or any of their Related Parties against and on account of any amounts due by any Company Party or any of their Related Parties to any Purchaser Party under any Transaction Documents (including from the purchase price to be disbursed hereunder for the purchase of the Purchased Securities), irrespective of whether or not (a) such Purchaser Party shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on any Note or any other Obligation shall have become due and payable and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. If, as a result of such set off, appropriate or application, such Purchaser Party receives more than it is owed under any Transaction Document, it shall hold such amounts in trust for the other Purchaser Parties and transfer such amounts to the other Purchaser Parties ratably according to the amounts they are owed on the date of receipt.

 

5.6 Governing Law; Courts.

 

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in any other Transaction Document, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all claims, disputes, Proceedings, and matters related hereto or thereto or arising hereunder or thereunder or arising from or relating to the relationship among any of the parties hereto or thereto, are governed by, and shall be construed, interpreted and enforced exclusively in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware).

 

(b) Any such Proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the Delaware state courts sitting in Wilmington, DE or the federal courts of the United States of America for the District of Delaware sitting in Wilmington, DE; provided, that the Purchaser and any Purchaser Party may bring Proceedings in other jurisdictions to enforce any Transaction Document. Each Company Party (i) accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue, whether based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or on the fact that such jurisdiction is improper or otherwise, or any other objection that such party is not subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, that it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any Proceeding in that jurisdiction, (iii) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the service of process of any court referred to above in any Proceeding by the mailing of copies of the process to the parties hereto as provided in Section ‎5.4 (Notices) and (iv) irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Service effected as provided in this manner will become effective ten (10) calendar days after the mailing of the process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in any Transaction Document shall affect the right of any Purchaser Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Regulations or commence Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Company Party in any other jurisdiction.

 

5.7 Severability. Any provision of any Transaction Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Transaction Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. In addition, upon any determination that any such term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify the relevant Transaction Document so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 

5.8 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser Party exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser Party may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, that, in the case of a rescission by the Purchaser of a conversion or exercise of any Transaction Security, the Purchaser shall return to the Company any Issuable Security subject to such rescinded conversion or exercise.

 

- 20 - 
 

 

5.9 Replacement of Certificates. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Transaction Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Transaction Securities.

 

5.10 Remedies.

 

(a) In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations of any Company Party contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b) If any Company Party shall fail to discharge any covenant, duty or obligation hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, the Purchaser may, in its discretion at any time, for the account and at the expense of the Company Parties jointly and severally, pay any amount or do any act required of such Company Party hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by the Purchaser (including buying replacement Securities in the Principal Trading Market of such Securities in case of failure by the Company to deliver Securities). All fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the taking of any such action shall be reimbursed to the Purchaser by the Company Parties, jointly and severally, on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate from the date such payment is made or such costs or expenses are incurred to the date of payment thereof. Any payment made or other action taken by the Purchaser under this clause ‎(b) shall be without prejudice to any right to assert, and without waiver of, any breach of any Transaction Document and without prejudice to any Purchaser Party’s right to proceed thereafter as provided herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents.

 

(c) The remedies provided in this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under any Transaction Document, whether at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

 

(d) Nothing in any Transaction Document shall limit any Purchaser Party’s rights to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by any Company Party to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

(e) Each Company Party acknowledges and agrees that any Event of Default will cause irreparable harm to each Purchaser Party and the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Therefore, in the event of any such Event of Default, each such Purchaser Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

5.11 Marshaling; Payment Set Aside. No Purchaser Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Company Party or any other party or against or in payment of any amount due under any Transaction Document. To the extent that any Company Party makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser Party pursuant to any Transaction Document or any Purchaser Party enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to any Company Party, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any Regulation (including any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then, to the extent of any such restoration, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, the Transaction Documents and all Liens, rights and remedies thereunder, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

- 21 - 
 

 

5.12 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Company Party hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser Party in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of each Company Party under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable Regulations (the “Maximum Rate”) and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that any Company Party may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable Regulations. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by any Company Party to any Purchaser Party with respect to any Obligation, such excess shall be applied to any outstanding Obligation or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the election of the Purchaser.

 

5.13 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.14 Further Assurances. The Company Parties agree to take such further actions as the Purchaser shall reasonably request from time to time in connection herewith to evidence, give effect to or carry out this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

5.15 Interpretation. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of any Transaction Document. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, if the last or appointed day for a payment, the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted under any Transaction Document shall not be a business day, then such payment may be made, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding business day. As used in any Transaction Document, references to the singular will include the plural and vice versa and references to the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders and vice versa, as appropriate.

The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement and (z) “trading day” means a day on which the Principal Trading Market for the Common Stock is open for trading; provided, that “trading day” shall not include, unless the Purchaser otherwise agrees, any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade thereon for less than four and a half hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or, if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00 p.m.); provided, further that, if the Common Stock does not trade on any Trading Market, “trading day” shall mean “business day”. All references in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to statutes and regulations shall include all amendments of same and implementing regulations and any successor statutes and regulations; to any instrument or agreement (including any of the Transaction Documents) shall include any and all modifications and supplements thereto and any and all restatements, extensions or renewals thereof to the extent such modifications, supplements, restatements, extensions or renewals of any such documents are permitted by the terms hereof and thereof. An Event of Default shall be deemed to exist at all times during the period commencing on the date that such Event of Default occurs to the date on which such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Whenever in any provision of any Transaction Document, the Purchaser is authorized to take or decline to take any action (including making any determination) in the exercise of its “discretion,” such provision shall be understood to mean that the Purchaser may take or refrain to take such action in its sole discretion.
