Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

  

Calm Private Placement

 

On July 8, 2019, XpresSpa Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Calm Purchase Agreement”) with Calm.com, Inc. (“Calm”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell (i) an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 in 5.00% unsecured convertible Notes due 2022 (the “Calm Notes”), which will be convertible into shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 937,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Calm Warrants”) (collectively, the “Calm Private Placement”).

 

The Company expects to receive $2,500,000 in gross proceeds from the Calm Private Placement. The Company expects to close the Calm Private Placement as soon as possible following the signing of the transaction documents.

 

Purchase Agreement

 

The Calm Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and Calm which are typical for transactions of this type. In addition, the Calm Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants on the Company’s part that are typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following additional covenants: (i) until Calm holds less than 10% of the Calm Notes, the Company agreed not to enter into any variable rate transactions and (ii) the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to hold a stockholder meeting within 120 days of the closing date at which the Company will solicit its stockholders’ affirmative vote for approval of its issuance of certain shares in connection with the transactions described in the transaction documents in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Shareholder Approval”).

 

The Calm Purchase Agreement obligates the Company to indemnify Calm and various related parties for certain losses including those resulting from (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company, (ii) any breach of any obligation of the Company, and (iii) certain claims by third parties.

 

Notes and Warrants

 

The Calm Notes are the unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company. Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the Calm Notes will mature on May 31, 2022. The Calm Notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum, subject to increase in the event of default to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. The Calm Notes are convertible at any time until the Calm Notes are no longer outstanding, in whole or in part, at the option of Calm into shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to $3.10 per share, except that no shares of Series E Preferred Stock may be issued as payment of interest or in connection with anti-dilution protection or voluntary reduction of the conversion price until receipt of Shareholder Approval. Interest on the Calm Notes is payable in arrears beginning on the last day of each February, May, August and November during the period beginning on the original issuance date and ending on, and including, the maturity date, when all amounts outstanding under the Calm Notes become due and payable in cash. The Company may elect to pay interest in cash, shares of Series E Preferred Stock or a combination thereof.

 

If the Company receives gross cash proceeds of $10,000,000 or more in connection with a closing of an offering of its securities, the Calm Notes require the Company to make an offer to Calm to repay Calm out of the net proceeds, if such a closing occurs, of up to 100% of the principal amount of the Calm Notes and accrued but unpaid interest designated by Calm. In addition, if the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than 150% of the conversion price for the Series E Preferred Stock then in effect for at least 20 consecutive trading days, the Company has the option to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Calm Notes, in whole or in part, by paying to Calm 110% of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and any other sums due, accrued or payable to Calm under the Calm Notes.

 

The Calm Notes also contain certain negative covenants, including prohibitions on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, amendments to the Company’s organizational documents, dividends, redemption, related party transactions and entry into any equity line of credit agreement or variable rate transactions. The Calm Notes also contain standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, failure to observe or perform covenants or agreements contained in the Calm Notes, existence of a default or event of default under any of the Calm transaction documents, the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and unsatisfied judgments against the Company.

 

 

 

 

The Calm Warrants entitle Calm to purchase an aggregate of 937,500 shares of Common Stock. The Calm Warrants are exercisable beginning six months from the date of issuance, have a term of five years and feature an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share.

 

The terms of each of the Calm Notes and the Calm Warrants provide for (i) anti-dilution price protection for issuances of Common Stock at a price per share less than the price equal to the conversion price or exercise price, as applicable and (ii) voluntary reduction of the conversion price or exercise price, as applicable, by the Company in its discretion, in each case subject to Shareholder Approval. In the event of a “fundamental transaction,” as defined in the Calm Notes and Calm Warrants, (i) upon any subsequent conversion of the Calm Notes, Calm has the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such fundamental transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Calm Notes are convertible immediately prior to such fundamental transaction and (ii) Calm will have the right to receive the value in cash of the Calm Warrants, as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model.

 

The Calm Notes and Calm Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Calm Notes and the Calm Warrants, as applicable (the “Underlying Calm Shares”) have not been registered under the Securities Act and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Calm acquired the securities for investment and acknowledged that it is an accredited investor as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act. The Calm Notes, Calm Warrants and Underlying Calm Shares may not be offered or sold in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Calm Purchase Agreement, Calm Note and Calm Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the Calm Purchase Agreement, on July 8, 2019, the Company and Calm entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Calm Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to register the Underlying Calm Shares on a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Calm Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC within forty-five (45) days after the date of the issuance of the Calm Notes and Calm Warrants and to cause the Calm Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act. If certain of the Company’s obligations under the Calm Registration Rights Agreement are not met, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to Calm.

 

The foregoing description of the Calm Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Calm Collaboration Agreement

 

On July 8, 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Product Sale and Marketing Agreement with Calm (the “Amended and Restated Collaboration Agreement”), which replaced the parties’ previous Product Sale and Marketing Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2018. The Amended and Restated Collaboration Agreement primarily relates to the display, marketing, promotion, offer for sale and sale of Calm’s products in each of the Company’s branded stores throughout the United States. The Amended and Restated Collaboration Agreement shall remain in effect until July 31, 2021, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Amended and Restated Collaboration Agreement, and automatically renews for successive terms of six months unless either party provides written notice of termination no later than thirty days prior to any such automatic renewal of the Amended and Restated Collaboration Agreement.

 

 

 

 

The Company intends to file a copy of the Amended and Restated Collaboration Agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ending September 30, 2019, portions of which that are not material and would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed may be redacted pursuant to Regulation S-K Item 601(b).

 

Amendment to Certificate of Designation of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On July 8, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E COD Amendment”) with the State of Delaware to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of Series E Preferred to 2,397,060 and (ii) upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, reduce the conversion price to $2.00. The Series E COD Amendment was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”). The Company intends to seek Shareholder Approval of the Series E COD Amendment.

 

A copy of the Series E COD Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

B3D Transaction

 

On July 8, 2019, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to its existing Credit Agreement with B3D, LLC (“B3D”) in order to, among other provisions, (i) extend the maturity date to May 31, 2021, (ii) reduce the applicable interest rate to 9.0%, and (iii) amend and restate its existing convertible promissory note in order to increase the principal amount owed to B3D to $7.0 million, which principal and any interest accrued thereon will be convertible, at B3D’s option, into Common Stock subject to receipt of Shareholder Approval (the “B3D Note”) (together, the “B3D Transaction”).

 

Notes

 

The B3D Notes are the senior secured obligations of the Company, secured by the personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries. Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the B3D Notes will mature on May 31, 2021. The B3D Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.00% per annum, calculated on a monthly basis. Interest only is payable in arrears on the last business date of each month (the “Monthly Interest”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the earlier of (i) ninety days from the date of the Credit Agreement Amendment or (ii) the date upon which Shareholder Approval is received (the “Interest Deferment Date”), the Monthly Interest will continue to accrue, will be compounded monthly, and all unpaid amounts thereof will be due and payable on the Interest Deferment Date. At the option of the Company, all or any portion of the Monthly Interest that is payable (i) on the Interest Deferment Date or (ii) after the Interest Deferment Date, but not more than twenty-one days and not less than five trading days prior to the date on which each payment of Monthly Interest is due, may be paid in shares of Common Stock. At any time after receipt of Shareholder Approval until the B3D Note is no longer outstanding, all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the B3D Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be convertible into Common Stock at the option of B3D at a conversion price equal to $2.00 per share.

 

In addition, the Company has the option to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the B3D Notes in whole or in part. In the event the Company prepays the B3D Note in full before the date that is fifteen business days prior to the maturity date, the Company shall pay a premium equal to the greater of (i) 4% of the outstanding principal amount of the B3D Notes that is prepaid or (ii) the Black Scholes value of the outstanding principal amount that is prepaid.

 

The terms of the B3D Notes provide for anti-dilution protection for issuances of Common Stock at a price per share less than the price equal to the conversion price, subject to Shareholder Approval. In the event of a “fundamental transaction” as defined in the B3D Notes, upon any subsequent conversion of the B3D Notes, B3D has the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such fundamental transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the B3D Note is convertible immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

 

 

 

 

The B3D Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the B3D Notes (the “Underlying B3D Shares”) have not been registered under the Securities Act and were issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. B3D acquired the securities for investment and acknowledged that it is an accredited investor as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act. The B3D Notes and Underlying B3D Shares may not be offered or sold in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Agreement Amendment and B3D Note do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are attached as Exhibits 10.3 and 4.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the B3D Notes, on July 8, 2019, the Company and B3D entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “B3D Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to register the Underlying B3D Shares on a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “B3D Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC within forty-five (45) days after the date of the issuance of the B3D Notes and to cause the B3D Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act. If certain of the Company’s obligations under the B3D Registration Rights Agreement are not met, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to B3D.

 

The foregoing description of the B3D Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Certificate of Designation of Series F Preferred Stock

 

In connection with the May 2018 SPA Amendment, on July 8, 2019, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Certificate of Designation”) establishing and designating the rights, powers and preferences of the Series F Preferred Stock. The Company designated 9,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

 

Pursuant to the Series F Certificate of Designation, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock are entitled, among other things, to the right to participate in any dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders on an as-converted basis. The Series F Preferred Stock has no voting rights except as required by law. The Series F Preferred Stock contains certain anti-dilution price protection such that, following receipt of Shareholder Approval, if at any time while the Series F Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company issues any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect for the Series F Preferred Stock, then the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be lowered to a price equal to such issuance. The Series F Preferred Stock will be convertible only following receipt of Shareholder Approval, at any time and from time to time without the payment of additional consideration into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments and has a stated value of $100.00 per share of Series F Preferred Stock. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Series F Preferred Stock will rank junior to the Company's Series E Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, and any other class of preferred stock of senior rank to the Series F Preferred Stock, senior to any other class of preferred stock and to the Common Stock in the distribution of assets, to the extent legally available for distribution. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock will initially be convertible into 50 shares of Common Stock.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Series F Certificate of Designation, under certain conditions, the Company has the right, but not the obligation to convert the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Additionally, following receipt of Shareholder Approval, the Company will have the option to repurchase the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying to the holder a sum of money in cash equal to the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such holder multiplied by the stated value then in effect.

 

The offering is exempt from registration pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) the Securities Act and Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

The shares of Series F Preferred Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

AMENDMENT TO THE
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES,

RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS

OF

SERIES E CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

This Amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (this “Amendment”) is dated as of July 8, 2019.

 

WHEREAS, the board of directors (“Board of Directors”) of XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to authority granted to it by the certificate of incorporation of the Company, has previously fixed the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to a series of the Company’s preferred stock, consisting of 1,473,300 authorized shares of preferred stock, classified as Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) and the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 13, 2018 evidencing such terms;

 

WHEREAS, Calm.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Holder”) is the record and beneficial owner of certain shares of the Series E Preferred Stock, issued pursuant to that certain (a) Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2018, by and between the Company and Calm.com, Inc. and (b) the Certificate of Designation;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 19 of the Certificate of Designation, any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series E Preferred Stock may be waived or amended on behalf of all holders of Series E Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least 50% of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Required Holders”);

 

WHEREAS, the Holder constitutes the Required Holders pursuant to the Certificate of Designation and has consented in writing, in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), on July 8, 2019, to this Amendment on the terms set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has duly adopted resolutions proposing to adopt this Amendment and declaring this Amendment to be advisable and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, this Amendment has been duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL and has been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company as of the date first set forth above to amend the terms of the Certificate of Designation as follows:

 

1. Capitalized Terms. Unless otherwise specified in this Amendment, all terms herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Certificate of Designation.

 

 

 

 

2. Amendment to Section 1. Section 1 of the Certificate of Designation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Designation and Amount. The class of preferred stock hereby classified shall be designated the “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock”. The number of authorized shares of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall be 2,397,060, which, except as provided herein, shall not be subject to increase without the consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.01.”

 

3. Amendment to Section 5. Section 5 of the Certificate of Designation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Voting Rights. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each Holder shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the holders of shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to that certain Unsecured Convertible Note due May 31, 2022 (the “Note”) be permitted to exercise a greater number of votes than such holders would have been entitled to cast if the Note had immediately been converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $1.73 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events). Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Charter, the holders of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.”

 

4. Amendment to Section 6.1.1.1. Section 6.1.1.1 of the Certificate of Designation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) by the Series E Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion (the result of such fraction, the “Series E Conversion Rate”).

This Amendment to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (this “Amendment”) is dated as of July 8, 2019.

 

WHEREAS, the board of directors (“Board of Directors”) of XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to authority granted to it by the certificate of incorporation of the Company, has previously fixed the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to a series of the Company’s preferred stock, consisting of 500,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, classified as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) and the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 23, 2016 evidencing such terms;

 

WHEREAS, the Holders identified on the signature pages hereto (the “Holders”) are the record and beneficial owners of certain shares of Series D Preferred Stock, issued pursuant to that certain (a) Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2016, as subsequently amended, by and among the Company (formerly known as FORM Holdings Corp.), FHXMS, LLC, XpresSpa Holdings LLC, the unitholders of XpresSpa Holdings LLC who were parties thereto (the “Unitholders”) and Mistral XH Representative, LLC, as representative of the Unitholders and (b) the Certificate of Designation;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 18 of the Certificate of Designation, any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series D Preferred Stock may be waived or amended on behalf of all holders of Series D Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least 50% of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Required Holders”);

 

WHEREAS, the Holders constitute the Required Holders pursuant to the Certificate of Designation and have consented in writing, in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), on July 8, 2019, to this Amendment on the terms set forth herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has duly adopted resolutions proposing to adopt this Amendment and declaring this Amendment to be advisable and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders; and

 

WHEREAS, the Holders have agreed to convert their shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) pursuant to Section 6.1.1 of the Certificate of Designation, as amended by this Amendment, upon receipt of Shareholder Approval (as defined below).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, this Amendment has been duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL and has been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company as of the date first set forth above to amend the terms of the Certificate of Designation as follows:

 

1. Capitalized Terms. Unless otherwise specified in this Amendment, all terms herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Certificate of Designation.

 

 

 

 

2. Amendment to Section 6.1.1.1. Section 6.1.1.1 of the Certificate of Designation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) by the Series D Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion (the result of such fraction, the “Series D Conversion Rate”). The “Series D Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $6.00 (before giving effect to the reverse stock split of the Common Stock that was effective on February 22, 2019 (the “Reverse Stock Split”)), but shall be amended to be equal to $2.00, as may be adjusted as provided below, upon receipt of shareholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) (“Shareholder Approval”).

For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made to the Series D Conversion Price after July 8, 2019 but prior to receipt of Shareholder Approval shall be made equitably and proportionately to the Series D Conversion Price following Shareholder Approval. For further avoidance of doubt, other than the Reverse Stock Split, no other event has occurred after the Initial Issuance Date but prior to July 8, 2019 that would result in the adjustment of the Series D Conversion Price.”

 

3. Amendment to Section 6.3.4. Section 6.3.4 of the Certificate of Designation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to add a new Section 6.3.4 as follows:

 

“6.3.4       Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall, automatically and without further action on the part of any holder thereof, be converted effective upon, subject to, and concurrently with, the receipt of the Shareholder Approval, into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock calculated based on the then-applicable Series D Conversion Rate (after giving effect to the amendment thereto occurring upon receipt of the Shareholder Approval as provided in Section 6.1.1). Each holder of any shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock converted pursuant to this Section 6.3.4 shall deliver to this corporation during regular business hours at the office of any transfer agent of this corporation for the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, or at such other place as may be designated by the Corporation, the certificate or certificates for the shares so converted, duly endorsed or assigned in blank or to the Corporation. As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, at the place designated by such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of the Common Stock to be issued and such holder shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record of Common Stock on the date of receipt of the Shareholder Approval unless the transfer books of the Corporation are closed on that date, in which event he, she or it shall be deemed to have become a stockholder of record of Common Stock on the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open.”

 

4. No Other Amendment. Except for the matters set forth in this Amendment, all other terms of the Certificate of Designation and the Series D Preferred Stock shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

6.1.1.  Right to Convert.

 

6.1.1.1.  Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Stated Value (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) by the Series F Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion (the result of such fraction, the “Series F Conversion Rate”). The “Series F Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $2.00. Such initial Series F Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. On the Initial Issuance Date, the Series F Conversion Rate shall be equal to 50 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

6.1.1.2.  Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

6.1.2.  Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock the Holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

 

 

 

6.2. Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following manner:

 

6.2.1.  Conversion Notice. The Holder of record of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall (A) transmit by email (or otherwise deliver) a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Corporation and if the Corporation has appointed a registered transfer agent, the Corporation’s registered transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) (if the Corporation does not have a registered transfer agent, references hereto to the “Transfer Agent” shall be deemed to be references to the Corporation) and (B) if required by Section 6.2.3, surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Corporation as soon as practicable following such date the original certificates, if any, representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 10) (the “Preferred Stock Certificates”).

 

6.2.2.  Corporation’s Response. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall (A) as soon as practicable, but in any event within three (3) Trading Days, send, via email, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, if applicable, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (B) on or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt by the Corporation of such Conversion Notice, (1) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is greater than the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock being converted, then the Corporation shall or shall direct the Transfer Agent, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock not converted or it shall direct the Transfer Agent to update the Holder’s account to reflect the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock not converted.

  

6.2.3.  Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the Preferred Stock Certificate, if any, unless (A) the full or remaining number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate are being converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver such Preferred Stock Certificate to the Corporation promptly following such conversion, or (B) a Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. The Holder and the Corporation shall maintain records showing the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Corporation, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Corporation establishing the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock to the Corporation, whereupon the Corporation will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock represented by such certificate may be less than the number of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock stated on the face thereof.

 

 

 

 

6.2.4.  Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall, so long as any shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock according to the terms hereof, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in all reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Charter. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series F Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series F Convertible Conversion Price.

 

6.2.5.  Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Series F Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via email within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If such Holder and the Corporation are unable to agree upon the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Series F Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day submit via email the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Series F Conversion Rate to any “big four” international accounting firm that is reasonably acceptable to the Corporation and the Holder. The Corporation shall cause, at the Corporation’s expense (unless the accounting firm determines in favor of the Corporation, in which case the Holder shall be responsible for such expense), the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Corporation and the Holders of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.

 

6.2.6.  Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the date of conversion.

 

6.2.7.  Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote in the capacity of a Holder, shall forthwith cease and terminate except only the right of the holder thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversation as provided in Section 6.1.2, and payment of any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared). Any shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and shall not be reissued, and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized Series F Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

6.2.8.  Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates, if any, for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

  

 

 

 

6.2.9.  Corporation's Failure to Timely Convert. If within two (2) Trading Days after the Corporation’s receipt of the copy of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (a "Conversion Failure"), then (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Conversion Failure an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) the higher of (i) the then in effect Series F Conversion Price or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock that have not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 6.2.9 or otherwise. In addition, if on or after the Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Corporation (a "Buy-In"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Corporation shall, within two (2) Trading Days after the Holder's request pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Corporation's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate. “Closing Sale Price” means, for the shares of Common Stock as of any date, the last closing price for such security on the principal market on which such security is traded, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., or if the foregoing does not apply, the last closing price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg L.P., or, if no closing price is reported for such security by Bloomberg L.P., the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc. (formerly Pink Sheets LLC).

 

6.2.10.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by a Holder shall not be convertible by such Holder, and the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such Holder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by such Holder shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by such Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Corporation for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability of a Holder to convert shares of Series F Preferred Stock, or of the Corporation to issue shares of Common Stock to such Holder, pursuant to this Section 6.2.10. shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 6.2.10. with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility or issuance (as the case may be). For purposes of this Section 6.2.10., beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 6.2.10 .shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6.2.10. to correct this Section 6.2.10. (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 6.2.10. shall apply to a successor holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Corporation may not waive this Section 6.2.10. without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Certificate of Designation.

 

 

 

 

6.3. Corporation’s Right to Convert.

 

6.3.1.  At any time or from time to time after the Initial Issuance Date of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, if (i) the closing price of the Common Stock listed on the Principal Market equals or exceeds $2.75 (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar transactions after the Issuance Date) for not less than fifteen (15) consecutive Trading Days (the “Corporation Conversion Right Measuring Period”); (ii) the daily average number of shares of Common Stock listed on the Principal Market traded during the Corporation Conversion Right Measuring Period equals or exceeds 100,000 (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar transactions after the Issuance Date); and (iii) no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined below) has occurred (unless such Equity Conditions Failure has been waived) as of such date (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Corporation Conversion Right Event”), the Corporation will have the right, but not the obligation, to convert each outstanding share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock calculated based on the Series F Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) (a “Mandatory Conversion”).

 

6.3.2.  The Corporation may exercise its right to require conversion under Section 6.3.1 by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following the end of such Corporation Conversion Right Measuring Period a written notice thereof by facsimile or electronic mail to the Holder (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice” and the date that the Holder received such notice is referred to as the “Mandatory Conversion Notice Date”), which conversion date shall be thirty (30) days following delivery of the Mandatory Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”). The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Conversion Notices tendered from the time of delivery of the Mandatory Conversion Notice until the Corporation Conversation Date has occurred. Unless otherwise indicated by the Holder, all shares of Series F Preferred Stock converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock required to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date.

  

6.3.3.  On the Mandatory Conversion Date, the outstanding shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares, if any, are surrendered to the Corporation or its Transfer Agent, and certificates previously representing shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall represent only the shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock previously represented thereby have been converted pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of any shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock unless certificates evidencing such shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, if any, are either delivered to the Corporation or the holder notifies the Corporation that such certificates, if any, have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. Upon the occurrence of the conversion of the Series F Convertible Preferred pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Holders of shares of Series F Convertible Preferred shall surrender the certificates representing such shares to the Corporation and the Corporation shall cause its Transfer Agent to deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (in the same manner set forth in Section 6.2.2) to the Holder within two (2) Business Days of the Holder’s delivery of the applicable Series F Convertible Preferred certificates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the conversion of a holder’s shares of Series F Preferred Stock would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive any such Excess Shares (or the beneficial ownership of, including voting rights with respect to, any such Excess Shares) and any Excess Shares shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.3.3, upon conversion of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, no holder thereof shall be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the shares of Series F Preferred Stock to the Company following conversion thereof unless (A) the full or remaining number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock represented by the certificate are being converted or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of shares of Series F Preferred Stock upon physical surrender of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

  

7.    Adjustment of Series F Conversion Price.

 

7.1.1.  Adjustment of Series F Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. The Series F Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 7. If the Corporation at any time after the Initial Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time after the Initial Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.

 

 

 

 

7.1.2.  Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 7, if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 7 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 7 (and the provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series F Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock.

 

7.1.3.  Certain Anti-Dilution Adjustments. If the Corporation shall, at any time while any of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock are outstanding, issue any shares of its Common Stock, other than Exempt Issuances, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Series F Conversion Price, then with respect to any such issuance, the Series F Conversion Price as in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith be lowered to a price equal to the issuance, conversion, exchange or exercise price, as applicable, of any such securities so issued. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 7.1.3. shall not apply until receipt of the Shareholder Approval.

 

7.2.  Notices.

 

7.2.1. Immediately upon any adjustment of the Series F Conversion Rate and Series F Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Corporation will give written notice thereof sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid to each Holder at its address appearing on the stock register, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.2.5.

 

7.2.2.  Except as otherwise required by law, the Corporation will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Corporation closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, or (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock.

 

7.2.3.  The Corporation will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which a Deemed Liquidation Event will take place.

 

8.    Optional Repurchase. Commencing upon the date Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Corporation will have the option of repurchasing the shares of Series F Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, by paying to the Holder a sum of money in cash equal to (a) the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock then held by such Holder multiplied by the aggregate Stated Value of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock plus (b) any other amounts due to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Designation (the “Repurchase Amount”). The Corporation’s election to exercise its right to repurchase shares of Series F Preferred Stock must be by notice in writing (“Repurchase Notice”). The Repurchase Notice shall specify the date for such optional repurchase (the “Repurchase Payment Date”), which date shall be thirty (30) days after Holder receives the Repurchase Notice. On the Repurchase Payment Date, the Repurchase Amount, less any cash portion of the Redemption Amount against which the Holder has permissibly exercised its conversion rights, shall be paid to the Holder in immediately available funds.

 

 

 

 

9.    Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the Corporation.

 

10.  Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Certificates representing the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, if any, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking (with surety, if reasonably requested by the Corporation) by the holder thereof to the Corporation in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Corporation shall not be obligated to re-issue preferred stock certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert such Series F Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

 

11.  Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. The Corporation covenants to each holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Corporation (or the performance thereof). The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Corporation therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

12.  Notice. Whenever notice or other communication is required to be given hereunder, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with contact information provided by each Holder to the Corporation and set forth in the register for the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock maintained by the Corporation as set forth in Section 15.

 

13.  Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

14.  Transfer of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock. A Holder may assign some or all of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and the accompanying rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Corporation; provided that such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

15.  Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Register. The Corporation shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, in which the Corporation shall record the name, address and email address of the persons in whose name the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock have been issued, as well as the name, address and email address of each transferee. The Corporation may treat the person in whose name any Series F Convertible Preferred Stock is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.

 

16.  Stockholder Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Corporation pursuant to the DGCL, this Certificate of Designation or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof may be effected by written consent of the Corporation’s stockholders or at a duly called meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the DGCL and the applicable provisions hereof. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the DGCL permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

 

 

 

 

17.  General Provisions. In addition to the above provisions with respect to Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, such Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to and be entitled to the benefit of the provisions set forth in the Charter with respect to preferred stock of the Corporation generally.

 

18.  Waiver and Amendment. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived or amended on behalf of all holders of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least 50 % of the shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

Section 2.      Interest, Payment and General Provisions.

 

(a)       Interest in Cash or in Kind. Holder shall be entitled to receive, and Borrower shall pay, cumulative interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note compounded monthly at the annual rate of five percent (5%) (as subject to increase as set forth in this Note) from the Original Issue Date through the Maturity Date. Interest shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each February, May, August and November during the period beginning on the Original Issue Date and ending on, and including, the Maturity Date (each an “Interest Payment Date”), with the first Interest Payment Date being August 31, 2019. Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date in cash, or at the election of the Borrower, such interest may be paid in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Series E Preferred Stock, or a combination thereof (the amount to be paid in shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the “Interest Share Amount”). If any Interest Payment Date is not a Trading Day, the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Trading Day. The Interest Share Amount will be determined by dividing the amount of interest on the subject Interest Payment Date by the then applicable Conversion Price. The Holder shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the delivery of any such Interest Share Amount as if such shares were being issued pursuant to a voluntary conversion pursuant to Section 4(a). Borrower must give Holder not less than five (5) Trading Days’ notice prior to an Interest Payment Date of Borrower’s intention to pay interest as an Interest Share Amount in lieu of cash. Borrower may not pay interest by delivery of an Interest Share Amount without the consent of the Holder in the event that the Equity Conditions are not in effect on each day commencing ten (10) Trading Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date through the date the Interest Share Amount is delivered to the Holder or if a Public Information Failure has occurred during such period.

 

(b)       Maturity Date Payment. On the Maturity Date, the Holder shall surrender the Note to Borrower and Borrower shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing the outstanding principal balance of this Note plus any accrued and unpaid interest plus any other amounts owing under this Note other than principal and interest, including fees and damages, if any.

 

(c)       Payment Grace Period. The Borrower shall not have any grace period to pay any monetary amounts due under this Note.

 

(d)       Conversion Privileges. The Conversion Rights set forth in Section 4 shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof and until the Note is paid in full regardless of the occurrence of an Event of Default. This Note shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless previously converted into Common Stock in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

 

(e)       Application of Payments. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed. Payments made in connection with this Note shall be applied first to amounts due hereunder other than principal and interest, thereafter to interest and finally to principal.

 

6

 

 

(f)       Manner and Place of Payment. Principal and interest on this Note and other payments in connection with this Note shall be payable at the Holder’s offices as designated above in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Upon assignment of the interest of Holder in this Note, Borrower shall instead make its payment pursuant to the assignee’s instructions upon receipt of written notice thereof. Except as set forth herein, this Note may not be prepaid or mandatorily converted without the consent of the Holder.

 

Section 3.      Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

 

(a)       Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be payable for such registration of transfer or exchange.

This Note has been issued subject to certain investment representations of the original Holder set forth in the Purchase Agreement and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.

 

(c)       Reliance on Note Register. Prior to due presentment for transfer to Borrower of this Note, Borrower and any agent of Borrower may treat the Person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither Borrower nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Section 4.      Conversion.

 

(a)       Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, this Note, including interest accrued hereon, shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time. The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to Borrower a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note and accrued interest, if any, to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Borrower unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). Borrower may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(b)       Conversion Price. The conversion price for the principal and interest, if any, in connection with voluntary conversions by the Holder shall be equal to $3.10, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

(c)       Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)       Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted plus accrued interest, if any, elected by the Holder to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

(ii)       Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates (or book entry entitlements recorded in the books and records of the Transfer Agent) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon such conversion of all or part of this Note.

 

(iii)       Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates (or book entry entitlements) are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to Borrower at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event Borrower shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to Borrower and the Holder shall promptly return to Borrower the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Notice of Conversion.

 

(iv)       Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. Borrower’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to Borrower or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of Borrower to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by Borrower of any such action Borrower may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, Borrower may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and Borrower posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, Borrower shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (or book entry entitlements) pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii)) by the Share Delivery Date, Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages being to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for Borrower’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(v)       Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii)), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder or Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Underlying Common Shares in respect of Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then Borrower shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue (after giving effect to the further conversion of the Conversion Shares into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock) multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock that would have been issued if Borrower had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii)). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Underlying Common Shares in respect of Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of Borrower, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(vi)       Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Borrower covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Series E Preferred Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note as herein provided, and shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon further conversion of the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock, in each case, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than 100% of the aggregate number of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus interest which has accrued and would accrue on such principal amount assuming such principal amount was not converted through the Maturity Date. Borrower covenants that all shares of Series E Preferred Stock and Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

9

 

 

(vii)       Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, Borrower shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

(viii)      Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates (or book entry entitlements) for shares of the Series E Preferred Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to Borrower the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Borrower that such tax has been paid. Borrower shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

 

Section 5.      Certain Adjustments.

 

(a)       Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If Borrower, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Series E Preferred Stock on shares of Series E Preferred Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued by Borrower upon conversion of the Note), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock, any shares of capital stock of Borrower, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock (excluding any treasury shares of Borrower) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

10

 

 

(b)       Subsequent Equity Sales. In addition to the reductions of the Conversion Price described in Section 4(b)Section 5(a), if, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Per Common Share Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Per Common Share Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Per Common Share Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price times 1.55 and the Per Common Share Conversion Price shall be reduced to the Base Conversion Price, in each case subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If the Borrower enters into a Variable Rate Transaction despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 5(b) shall not apply until receipt of the Shareholder Approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) unless the Borrower is not then subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). The Borrower shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Borrower provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

 

(c)       Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) and (b) above, if at any time Borrower grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note and further conversion of such Conversion Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(d)       Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Note is outstanding, if Borrower shall declare or make any dividend whether or not permitted, or makes any other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note and further conversion of such Conversion Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

 

11

 

 

(e)       Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of Borrower with or into another Person, (ii) Borrower, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by Borrower or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of Borrower, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note and further conversion of such Conversion Shares into Common Stock immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of five (5) shares of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and Borrower shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. Borrower shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which Borrower is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note and further conversion of such Conversion Shares into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Borrower” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of Borrower and shall assume all of the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as Borrower herein.

(f)       Voluntary Adjustment by the Borrower. The Borrower may at any time during the term of this Note reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 5(f) shall not apply until receipt of the Shareholder Approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) unless the Borrower is not then subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

 

(g)       Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of Borrower) issued and outstanding.

 

(h)       Notice to the Holder.

 

(i)        Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, Borrower shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii)       Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) Borrower shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) Borrower shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) Borrower shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of Borrower shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which Borrower is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) Borrower shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of Borrower, then, in each case, Borrower shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, Borrower shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

13

 

 

(i)       Nasdaq Approval. Until the Borrower receives the approval of its shareholders for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) and for so long as such requirement is applicable to the Borrower, the Borrower may not issue any Interest Share Amount in violation of such Listing Rule nor additional Conversion Shares resulting from a Dilutive Issuance in excess of the amount of Conversion Shares issuable prior to the reduction of the Conversion Price due to the Dilutive Issuance adjustment.

 

Section 6.     Prepayment and Redemption. This Note may not be prepaid, redeemed or mandatorily converted without the consent of the Holder except as follows:

 

(a)       Mandatory Repayment Offer. In connection with a Subsequent Financing conducted pursuant to a Form S-3 registration statement, Borrower shall, on a Trading Day, at least two (2) hours prior to Borrower’s receipt of the proceeds of such Subsequent Financing, offer in writing (the “Offer Notice”) to the Holder the right to receive out of the net proceeds of such Subsequent Financing to be applied in satisfaction of up to 100% of the then-outstanding Principal Amount and accrued but unpaid interest designated by Holder. In connection with a Subsequent Financing not involving a Form S-3 registration statement, Borrower shall provide the Offer Notice not later than five (5) Trading Days before the closing of the Subsequent Financing. Holder must notify the Borrower within four (4) Trading Days of receipt of the Offer Notice if such Holder elects to exercise the right to receive repayment out of the Subsequent Financing net proceeds. If Holder’s notice to elect to receive payment is received at least one (1) Trading Day prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the amount required to be paid to Holder must be paid to Holder not later than the closing of the Subsequent Financing. If Holder’s notice to receive payment is not given to Borrower at least one (1) Trading Day prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, then payment must be made to the Holder not later than five (5) Trading Days after the closing of the Subsequent Financing.

 

(b)       Optional Prepayment. If the VWAP of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least 20 consecutive Trading Days, including the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Borrower provides the related Notice of Redemption (as defined below), Borrower will have the option of prepaying, in whole but not in part, the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note (“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of money in cash equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Principal Amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note through the Redemption Payment Date, as defined below (the “Redemption Amount”). The Borrower’s election to exercise its right to prepay this Note must be by notice in writing (“Notice of Redemption”). The Notice of Redemption shall specify the date for such Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”), which date shall be a date certain not sooner than ten (10) Trading Days after Holder receives the Notice of Redemption (the “Redemption Period”). In addition to the VWAP condition specified in the first sentence of this clause (b), a Notice of Redemption, if given, must be given within two Trading Days following thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days during which all of the Equity Conditions have been satisfied each day (other than the Equity Conditions set forth in clause (c) thereunder). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of the Principal Amount for which the Holder has previously delivered an election to convert, nor for conversions initiated or made by the Holder during the Redemption Period. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount, less any cash portion of the Redemption Amount against which the Holder has exercised its conversion rights, shall be paid to the Holder in immediately available funds. In the event the Borrower fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then (i) such Notice of Redemption will, at the election of the Holder, be null and void, (ii) the Borrower will not have the right to deliver another Notice of Redemption, and (iii) Borrower’s failure may be deemed by Holder to be a non-curable Event of Default. In the event the Equity Conditions cease to be satisfied prior to the payment of the Redemption Amount, the Holder may, upon written notice to the Borrower at any time prior to the payment of the Redemption Amount, cancel the Notice of Redemption.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower referred to in this Article, Holder shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to Holders, for the purpose ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of Borrower, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section. With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, Holder undertakes to perform or to observe only such covenants and obligation as are specifically set forth in this Section and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Note against the Holder. Holder does not have any fiduciary duties to holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 

(e)       Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of Borrower made on the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the Note shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which Holders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Section to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holder shall, as between Borrower, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and Holder, be deemed to be a payment by Borrower to or on account of Senior Indebtedness, and no payments or distributions to Holder of cash, property or securities payable or distributable to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to which Holder shall become entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall, as between Borrower, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and Holder, be deemed to be a payment by Borrower to Holder of or on account of the Note.

 

(f)       Borrower Obligation to Pay Unconditional. The provisions of this Section are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the one hand, and Holder on the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair, as between Borrower and Holder, the obligation of Borrower, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holder thereof the principal thereof and premium, if any, and interest thereon and any other amounts owing under, if any, in accordance with the terms of the Note nor shall anything herein prevent Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or under the Note upon default under the Note, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness under the provisions of this Section to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Holder.

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

 

Warrant No.: 2019-E1

Number of Shares of Common Stock: 937,500

Date of Issuance: July 8, 2019 (“Issuance Date”)

 

XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Calm.com, inc., the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after January 8, 2020 (the “Initial Exercise Date”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), 937,500 fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”) shall have the meanings set forth in Section 18 or as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below). This Warrant represents the Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “SPA Warrants”) issued pursuant to Section 2 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2019 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and Calm.com, Inc. (the “Buyer”) (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

 

 

 

 

1.         EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and prior to the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”) (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) has not been delivered by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be extended one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall (X) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Warrant Shares are not eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such date of delivery being the “Exercise Date”), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until such Person other than the Holder requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $2.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

 

 

 

(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If (I) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (a) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to issue to the Holder a certificate without any restrictive legend for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or (b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are not eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice for delivery on or before the Share Delivery Date a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, or (II) after the Initial Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), (x) the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of all of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, (y) the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, so notify the Holder and (z) the Company fails to, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred to as a “Notice Failure”) and either a Notice Failure or an event described in clause (I) above (referred to herein as an “Exercise Failure”) occurs, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Notice Failure or Exercise Failure an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) the higher of (i) the then in effect Exercise Price of this Warrant or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. If the Company is required to pay liquidated damages hereunder solely as a result of a Notice Failure, the liquidated damages related thereto will cease to accrue upon delivery of a written notice to the Holder specifying the correct status of the applicable Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that the Company may be liable for Registration Delay Payments pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement in the event of an Exercise Failure or Notice Failure. In addition to the foregoing, if an Exercise Failure or Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after the Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale through a broker by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out of pocket expenses related to the Buy-In, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (such number of shares not to exceed the number of Warrant Shares failed to be delivered) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the sale price of the Common Stock at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if 180 days after the issuance of this Warrant a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or other applicable registration statement under the 1933 Act) (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Warrant Shares is not available for the issuance of such Warrant Shares, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Exercise Price, elect instead to exercise this Warrant by means of a cashless exercise (a “Cashless Exercise”) in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

 

 

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(d).

 

(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

 

f) [Reserved].

 

(g) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount” and the failure to have such sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock, an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock without soliciting its stockholders, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver in satisfaction of such exercise, then unless the Holder elects to void such attempted exercise, the Holder may require the Company to pay to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of the applicable exercise, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company is unable to deliver pursuant to this Section 1(g), by (y) the total number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant) and (ii) the Black Scholes Value; provided, that (x) references to “the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction” in the definition of “Black Scholes Value” shall instead refer to “the date the Holder exercises this Warrant and the Company cannot deliver the required number of Warrant Shares because of an Authorized Share Failure” and (y) clause (iii) of the definition of “Black Scholes Value” shall instead refer to “the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the highest Weighted Average Price during the period beginning on the date of the applicable date of exercise and the date that the Company makes the applicable cash payment.”

 

 

 

 

2.         ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Certain Anti-Dilution Adjustments. In addition to the reductions of the Exercise Price described in Section 2(b), if, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company or any subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Exercise Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Exercise Price, subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued;. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 2(a) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(a), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(a), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Exercise Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise. In the event the Exercise Price is reduced pursuant to this Section 2(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2(a) shall not apply until receipt of the Shareholder Approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) and for as long as such rule is applicable to the Company.

 

(b) Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(c) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2(c) shall not apply until receipt of the Shareholder Approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) unless the Company is not then subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). 

 

 

 

 

3.         RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled, and the Company shall reserve the Holder’s pro rata share of the Distribution pending complete exercise of this Warrant, to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

 

4.         PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled, and the Company shall reserve the Holder’s pro rata share of the Purchase Rights pending complete exercise of this Warrant, to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any direct or indirect purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”); then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; providedhowever, until the first anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction shall be capped at the initial Exercise Price of this Warrant; providedfurther, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or the consideration is not in all stock of the Successor Entity, Holder shall have the option to require the Company or any Successor Entity to purchase its Warrant for the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction using the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(c)       At Company’s option, exercisable in writing by notice to the Company at any time, (i) not more than thirty (30) but not less than five (5) Business Days, prior to the Interest Deferment Date, at Company’s sole discretion, all or any portion of the Monthly Interest that is payable on the Interest Deferment Date, or (ii) after the Interest Deferment Date, not more than twenty-one (21) days but not less than five (5) Business Days, prior to the date upon which each payment of Monthly Interest is due, at Company’s sole discretion, all or any portion of the Monthly Interest that is payable on such payment date (in each case, the “Share Portion”), shall be paid by way of issuance of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and tradeable shares of Common Stock (such number of Common Stock to be issued instead of cash payment, the “Interest Share Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2(b), until the Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Monthly Interest on $500,000 of the principal of this Note, shall be payable by cash payment alone in accordance with Section 2(a) and may not be included in the Share Portion. The Interest Share Amount will be determined by dividing the amount of the Share Portion set forth in Lender’s exercise notice by a price per share of Common Stock equal to ninety percent (90%) of the VWAP on the Trading Date immediately preceding the date of the exercise notice (the “Initial Interest Share Price”). The Parent shall deliver to Lender certificates evidencing the Interest Share Amount within two (2) Business Days after the date of the exercise notice. If ninety percent (90%) of the average VWAP for the 30 Trading Days prior to and including the Interest Deferment Date or, if the Interest Deferment Date is not a Trading Day, on the next succeeding Trading Day (such price, the “Make Whole Price”), is less than the Initial Interest Share Price, then the Lender shall be entitled to additional shares of Common Stock as partial (and additional) payment of the Interest Share Amount (such shares, the “Make Whole Shares”). The quantity of Make Whole Shares will be determined by (y) dividing the amount of the Share Portion set forth in Lender’s exercise notice by the Make Whole Price, and (z) subtracting therefrom the Interest Share Amount. The Parent shall deliver to Lender certificates evidencing the Make Whole Shares within two (2) Business Days after the Interest Deferment Date. The Lender shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to the delivery of any such Interest Share Amount and the Make Whole Shares as if such shares were being issued pursuant to a voluntary conversion pursuant to Section 7(a). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be permitted to pay Monthly Interest in shares of Common Stock until Shareholder Approval has been obtained.

 

(d)       All Monthly Interest arising and accruing from and after the Interest Deferment Date, shall be paid in accordance with Section 2(a) above (except as set forth in Section 2(c) above).

 

3.         Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, all principal of this Note and each fee and other amount then due and payable by the Company hereunder or under the Credit Agreement (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to six percent (6.00%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to this Note.

The Company may, at its option, prepay this Note in full or in part at any time and from time to time by notifying the Lender in writing not later than the date of such prepayment specifying the principal amount of this Note to be prepaid and the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and the amount specified in each such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified. Each partial prepayment of this Note pursuant to this Subsection shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, or, if less than $100,000, the outstanding principal balance of this Note. In the event the Company prepays this Note in full before the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay a premium equal to the greater of (i) four percent (4%) or (ii) the Black Scholes Value of the outstanding principal amount subject to such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or in any other Loan Document, there shall be no premium or penalty payable by the Company in the event that the Company either (y) prepays this Note in full on or after the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date and before the Maturity Date or (z) repays this Note in full on the Maturity Date. Simultaneously with each prepayment of this Note, the Company shall prepay all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. If no Event of Default exists and if the proceeds arising out of any insurance claim or series of related claims do not exceed $250,000, loss payments in each instance will be applied by the applicable Credit Party to the repair and/or replacement of property with respect to which the loss was incurred to the extent reasonably feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof remaining, to the extent not so applied, shall be payable to the applicable Credit Party; provided, however, that payments received by any Credit Party after an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of $250,000 for any occurrence or series of related occurrences shall be paid to the Lender for itself and on behalf of the secured parties under the Security Agreement and, if received by such Credit Party, shall be held in trust for the secured parties under the Security Agreement and immediately paid over to the Lender unless otherwise directed in writing by the Lender.

7.         Conversion.

 

(a)       Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the receipt of Shareholder Approval until this Note is no longer outstanding, all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such amount that is outstanding on the Conversion Date shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Lender, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 7(d) hereof). The Lender shall effect conversions by delivering to Parent a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Note and accrued interest, if any, to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (each such date, a “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Parent unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Lender and Parent shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). Parent may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Lender shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Lender, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of the Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(b)       Conversion Price. The conversion price for the principal and interest, if any, in connection with voluntary conversions by the Lender pursuant to clause (a) above shall be two dollars ($2.00) per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

 

(c)       Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i)       Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount to be converted plus interest, if any, elected by the Lender to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

(ii)       Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than two (2) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Lender a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares, which, on the Share Delivery Date shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. Parent shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by Parent under this Section 7(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

 

(iii)       Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Lender by the Share Delivery Date, the Lender shall be entitled to elect by written notice to Parent at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event Parent shall promptly return to the Lender any original Note delivered to Parent and the Lender shall promptly return to Parent the Common Stock certificates issued to such Lender pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

10

 

 

(iv)       Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. Parent’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Lender to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Lender or any other Person of any obligation to Parent or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Lender or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of Parent to the Lender in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by Parent of any such action Parent may have against the Lender. In the event the Lender of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, Parent may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Lender or anyone associated or affiliated with the Lender has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Lender, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and Parent posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Lender in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Lender to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, Parent shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If Parent fails for any reason to deliver to the Lender such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 7(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, Parent shall pay to the Lender, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages being to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Lender rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Lender’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for Parent’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Lender shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Lender from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(v)       Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Lender, if Parent fails for any reason to deliver to the Lender such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 7(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Lender is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Lender or Lender’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Lender of the Conversion Shares which the Lender was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then Parent shall (A) pay in cash to the Lender (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Lender) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Lender’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Lender was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Lender, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Lender the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if Parent had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 7(c)(ii). For example, if the Lender purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, Parent shall be required to pay the Lender $1,000. The Lender shall provide Parent written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Lender in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of Parent, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Parent’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(vi)      Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Parent covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Lender (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than 125% of the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 8) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and interest which has accrued and would accrue on such principal amount assuming such principal amount was not converted through the Maturity Date. Parent covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

(vii)     Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Lender would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, Parent shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

(viii)    Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Lender hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, Parent shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Lender of this Note so converted and Parent shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to Parent the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid. Parent shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

8.         Certain Adjustments.

 

(a)       Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If Parent, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by Parent upon conversion of the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of Parent, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of Parent) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(b)       Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Parent or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price, subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 8(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If the Parent enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, the Parent shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 8(b) shall not apply until receipt of the Shareholder Approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) unless the Parent is not then subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). The Company and the Parent shall notify the Lender in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 8(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Parent provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 8(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Lender is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Lender accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

 

13

 

 

(c)       Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 8(a) and (b) above, if at any time Parent grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Lender will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Lender could have acquired if the Lender had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, if any) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(d)      Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Note is outstanding, if Parent shall declare or make any dividend whether or not permitted, or makes any other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Lender shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Lender would have participated therein if the Lender had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, if any) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

 

14

 

 

(e)       Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) Parent, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of Parent with or into another Person, (ii) Parent, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by Parent or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) Parent, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) Parent, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Lender shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 7(d) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of Parent, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 7(d) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and Parent shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Lender shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. Parent shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which Parent is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of Parent under this Note, the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Parent Guaranty, and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and approved by the Lender (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Lender in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Lender. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Parent” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of Parent and shall assume all of the obligations of Parent under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as Parent herein.

 

(f)       Calculations. All calculations under this Section 8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 8, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of Parent) issued and outstanding.

 

15

 

 

(g)       Notice to the Lender.

 

(i)       Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 8, Parent shall promptly deliver to each Lender a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii)       Notice to Allow Conversion by Lender. If (A) Parent shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) Parent shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) Parent shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of Parent shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which Parent is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) Parent shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of Parent, then, in each case, Parent shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Lender at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding Parent or any of the Subsidiaries, Parent shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Lender shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

(h)       Nasdaq Approval. Until the Parent receives the approval of its shareholders for the issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) and for so long as such requirement is applicable to the Parent, the Parent may not issue any Interest Share Amount in violation of such Listing Rule nor additional Conversion Shares resulting from a Dilutive Issuance in excess of the amount of Conversion Shares issuable prior to the reduction of the Conversion Price due to the Dilutive Issuance adjustment.

 

16

 

 

9.         [Reserved]

 

10.       Lender Voting Rights; Rights to Receive Distributions. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, prior to the issuance to the Lender of the Conversion Shares to which the Lender is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of the Conversion Right, the Lender shall not be entitled to vote or receive distributions or dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock of the Parent for such purposes, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Lender, as such, any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any action, receive notice of meetings or other actions by stock holders of Parent, receive distributions, dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Lender to purchase any securities (upon exercise of the Conversion Right or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Parent, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Parent or the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 10, the Parent shall provide the Lender with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Parent generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to its stockholders.

 

11.       Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 13 and 14 hereof, the rights and obligations of the Company and Lender shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, permitted assigns and transferees of the parties.

Exhibit 4.4

 

XPRESSPA GROUP, INC.

AMENDMENT TO

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

This Amendment to Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (this “Amendment”), dated as of July 8, 2019, is being entered into by and between XpresSpa Group, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the Holders identified on the signature pages hereto (the “Holders”).

 

WHEREAS, the Holders are the record and beneficial owners of certain warrants (the “December 2016 Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2016, as subsequently amended (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company (formerly known as FORM Holdings Corp.), FHXMS, LLC, XpresSpa Holdings, LLC, the unitholders of XpresSpa Holdings, LLC who were parties thereto (the “Unitholders”) and Mistral XH Representative, LLC, as representative of the Unitholders.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 11 of the December 2016 Warrants, any term of the December 2016 Warrants may be amended or waived upon written consent of the Company and the Registered Holder of such December 2016 Warrant; and

 

WHEREAS, subject to receipt of shareholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) (“Shareholder Approval”), the Company and the Holders have agreed to amend the December 2016 Warrants to reflect (i) an adjustment to the exercise price and (ii) the inclusion of additional provisions regarding anti-dilution price protection and voluntary adjustment to the exercise price by the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the Holders and the Company hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Capitalized Terms. Unless otherwise specified in this Amendment, all terms herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the December 2016 Warrants.

 

2. Amendment to Introductory Language. Subject to receipt of Shareholder Approval, the introductory paragraph is hereby amended by adding the following proviso at the end of the first sentence:

 

; provided, however, that upon receipt of shareholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) (“Shareholder Approval”), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to be equal to $2.00.

 

 

 

 

3. Amendment to Section 2. Subject to receipt of Shareholder Approval, Section 2 of the December 2016 Warrant is hereby amended to include Section 2(e) as follows:

 

(e) Certain Anti-Dilution Adjustments. In addition to the reductions of the Exercise Price described in Section 2(a), if, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company or any subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or any securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) entitling any person to acquire Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “Base Exercise Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Exercise Price, subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued; notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 2(e) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. The Company shall notify the Registered Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 2(e), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(e), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Exercise Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Exercise Price in the Notice of Exercise. In the event the Exercise Price is reduced pursuant to this Section 2(e), the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2(e) shall not apply until the receipt of Shareholder Approval unless the Company is not then subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a) or Rule 5635(d).

 

For purposes of this Section 2(e), the following definitions shall apply:

 

Equity Line of Credit” shall include any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at an agreed price or price formula.

In connection with any transfer of 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 4.1(c), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company, at the Company’s expense, an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, 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 Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of such transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

(b)       Legend. The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

32

 

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

(c)       Pledge. 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 the Securities to a financial institution that is an Accredited Investor and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledge or secure 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 Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling shareholders thereunder.

 

(d)       Legend Removal. Certificates evidencing the Underlying Common Shares shall not contain any legend (“Unlegended Shares”) (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Common Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Common Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions 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 Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any Notes are converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Common Shares, or if such Underlying Common Shares 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 Commission) then such Underlying Common Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(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 Underlying Common Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such second (2nd) Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), 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. Certificates for Underlying Common Shares 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.

In addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, provided the conditions for legend removal set forth in Section 4.1(c) exist, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Common Shares (based on the higher of the actual purchase price or VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date (increasing to $20 per Trading Day after the fifth Trading Day) 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 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, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

(f)        DWAC. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of the Purchaser, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Purchaser is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system, provided that the Company’s Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Company’s transfer agent participates in the Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Legend Removal Date.

 

34

 

 

(g)       Injunction. In the event the Purchaser shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in this Section 4.1 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that the Purchaser or anyone associated or affiliated with the Purchaser has not complied with the Purchaser’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, 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 and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of the Purchaser in the amount of the greater of (i) 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Underlying Common Shares to be subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, or (ii) the VWAP of the Common Stock on the trading day before the issue date of the injunction multiplied by the number of Unlegended Shares to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Purchaser to the extent Purchaser obtains judgment in Purchaser’s favor.

 

(h)       Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the Legend Removal Date the Purchaser, or a broker on the Purchaser’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of the shares of Common Stock which the Purchaser was entitled to receive in unlegended form from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to the Purchaser (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Purchaser) the amount, if any, by which (A) the Purchaser’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 Purchaser 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 Underlying Common Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser $1,000, plus interest, if any. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In.

 

(i)        Plan of Distribution. The Purchaser agrees with the Company that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

4.2       Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Preferred Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

 

35

 

 

4.3       Furnishing of Information; Public Information.

 

(a)       Until the earliest of the time that (i) the Purchaser owns no Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to file all periodic reports with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act and maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act after such time as the Company initially becomes subject to such requirements and to 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 and timely file all reports that would be required to be filed by an issuer subject to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

(b)       At any time commencing on the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold 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 impairment of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and accrued interest thereon, and aggregate Exercise Price of Warrant Shares held by the Purchaser 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 the Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchaser to transfer the Underlying Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which the Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) 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 in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.0% per month (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, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

36

 

 

4.4       Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction or to effectuate such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the earlier of the closing of such subsequent transaction or effectuation of such other transaction.

 

4.5       Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchaser in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchaser to exercise its Warrants or convert its Notes. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver Underlying Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.6       Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall on or before the third Trading Day following the Closing Date, file a Current Report on Form 8-K including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto with the Commission (“Form 8-K”). A form of the Form 8-K is annexed hereto as Exhibit E. Such Exhibit E will be identical to the Form 8-K which will be filed with the Commission except for the omission of signatures thereto by the Company. From and after the filing of the Form 8-K, the Company represents to the Purchaser that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Purchaser by the Company or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue any press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of the Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding 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 Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market unless the name of the Purchaser is already included in the body of the Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except: (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

 

37

 

 

4.7       Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchaser.

 

4.8       Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

4.9       Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder substantially for the purposes set forth on Schedule 4.9 hereto and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt except as disclosed on Schedule 4.9 (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and consistent with prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

 

4.10       Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel for all Purchaser Parties. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of its material representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 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 indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.11     Reservation and Listing of Securities.

 

(a)       As of the date hereof, the Company, ignoring any conversion or exercise, has reserved for each Purchaser and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, the “Required Minimum”, free of preemptive rights. If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum plus such other amount as may be required for the Company’s other purposes, and reserve the Required Minimum on behalf of the Purchaser, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 60th day after such date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its shareholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its shareholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the shareholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock without soliciting its shareholders, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C.

 

39

 

 

(b)       The Company shall prior to the Closing: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market until the later of (i) at least five (5) years after the Closing Date, and (ii) for so long as the Notes or Warrants are outstanding, and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. In the event the aforedescribed listing is not continuously maintained for five (5) years after the Closing Date and for so long as Notes or Warrants are outstanding (a “Listing Default”), then in addition to any other rights the Purchaser may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, on the first day of a Listing Default and on each monthly anniversary of each such Listing Default date (if the applicable Listing Default shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Listing Default is cured, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate outstanding Note principal and accrued interest, conversion price of Conversion Shares and purchase price of Warrant Shares held by the Purchaser or which may be acquired upon exercise of Warrants on the day of a Listing Default and on every thirtieth day (pro-rated for periods less than thirty days) thereafter until the date such Listing Default is cured. If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in a timely manner, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 1.0% per month (pro-rated for partial months) to the Purchaser.

 

4.12     Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of the Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at a Closing under Applicable Law, including “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Purchaser.

 

40

 

 

4.13     Subsequent Equity Sales. From the date hereof until the date the Purchaser (or permitted assignee) holds less than ten percent (10%) of the Notes originally issued to the Purchaser, the Company will not, without the consent of Purchaser, enter into any Equity Line of Credit or similar agreement, issue or agree to issue floating or Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments nor issue or agree to issue any of the foregoing (subject to adjustment for stock splits, distributions, dividends, recapitalizations and the like) (collectively, a “Variable Rate Transaction”). For purposes hereof, “Equity Line of Credit” shall include any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at an agreed price or price formula, and “Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments” shall include: (A) any debt or equity securities which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or any of the foregoing at a price that can be reduced either (1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance, or upon the issuance of any debt, equity or Common Stock Equivalent, and (B) any amortizing convertible security which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Company is required or has the option to (or any investor in such transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization payments in shares of Common Stock which are valued at a price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security (whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity conditions). For purposes of determining the total consideration for a convertible instrument (including a right to purchase equity of the Company) issued, subject to an original issue or similar discount or which principal amount is directly or indirectly increased after issuance, the consideration will be deemed to be the actual net cash amount received by the Company in consideration of the original issuance of such convertible instrument and reduced by any consideration or value given by the Company to the purchaser of such convertible instrument. Until the receipt of Shareholder Approval, the Company will not issue or amend the terms of any securities or Common Stock Equivalents or of any agreement outstanding or in effect as of the date of this Agreement pursuant to which same were or may be acquired without the consent of Purchaser, if the result of such issuance or amendment would be to issue Common Stock or to reduce the effective price per share of Common Stock to less than the higher of the Per Common Share Conversion Price or Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such issuance or amendment.

 

4.14     [Reserved].

 

4.15     Capital Changes. In no event will the Company reduce the par value of the Common Stock to an amount less than the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price divided by five (5), or (ii) Warrant Exercise Price, then in effect.

 

41

 

 

4.16     Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Purchaser covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on the Purchaser’s behalf or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to a press release or Form 8-K as described in Section 4.6. The Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to a press release or Form 8-K as described in Section 4.6, the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Purchaser does not make any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to a press release or Form 8-K as described in Section 4.6, (ii) the Purchaser shall not be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with Applicable Law from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to a press release or Form 8-K, and (iii) the Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the filing of the Form 8-K. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the Purchaser that 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 covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

 

4.17     [Reserved]

 

4.18     [Reserved].

 

4.19     Maintenance of Property/Insurance. The Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, keep all of its property, which is necessary or useful to the conduct of its business, in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary for the businesses of the Company and Subsidiary. From and after the Closing Date and for so long as any Securities are held by a Purchaser, the Company will maintain directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount.

 

4.20     Preservation of Corporate Existence. The Company shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, privileges and franchises in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified, as a foreign entity in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of its business or operations and where the failure to qualify or remain qualified might reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect upon the financial condition, business or operations of the Company taken as a whole.

 

42

 

 

4.21     DTC Program. At all times that Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall employ as the transfer agent for its Common Stock and Underlying Common Shares a participant in the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program and cause the Common Stock and Underlying Common Shares to be transferable pursuant to such program.

 

4.22    Reimbursement. If the Purchaser becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by the Purchaser to or with any current stockholder), solely as a result of the Purchaser’s acquisition of the Securities under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the Purchaser who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Purchaser and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Purchaser and any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Purchaser nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Securities under this Agreement.

 

4.23     [Reserved].

 

4.24     Indebtedness. For so long as any Note is outstanding, the Company on a consolidated basis with the Subsidiaries will not incur nor be liable for any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness, without the consent of Purchaser.

 

4.25     Notice of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Purchaser in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person not otherwise disclosed herein or in the SEC Reports.

 

4.26    Duration of Undertakings. Unless otherwise stated in this Article IV, all of the Company’s undertakings, obligations and responsibilities set forth in Article IV of this Agreement shall remain in effect for so long as any Securities remain outstanding.

 

4.27     Shareholder Approval. The Company undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts within one hundred (120) days after the Closing Date to obtain the consent of its shareholders (the “Shareholder Approval”) for the reduction of the exercise price of the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series E CoD Amendment, the issuance of any additional shares of its Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to Section 5 of the Notes or Section 2 of the Warrants, any other shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable to the Purchasers pursuant to the Transaction Documents and any other provisions of the Transaction Documents stated therein to be contingent upon consent of the shareholders of the Company; provided, that in no event shall the Company seek the consent of its shareholders for the approval of the reduction in the exercise or conversion prices of any other security of the Company, whether or not outstanding on the date hereof, unless such approval is conditional upon simultaneous receipt of the Shareholder Approval. The Company represents and warrants that not less than the amount of Underlying Preferred Shares set forth on Schedule 4.27 may be immediately issued to the Purchaser upon Closing without the requirement of Shareholder Approval or any other approval.

5.6       Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7       Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

5.9       Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.10, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

5.10     Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf’ signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.11     Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

46

 

 

5.12     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 the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser may, at any time prior to the Company’s performance of such obligations, 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, however, that in the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Note or exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently with the return to the Purchaser of the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of the Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to the Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

 

5.13     Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any 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 Securities.

 

5.14     Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser and the Company 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 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.

 

5.15     Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Purchaser 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 the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, 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 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.

 

47

 

 

5.16     Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company 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 claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by the Purchaser 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 the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under Applicable Law (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 the Company 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 Closing Date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by Applicable Law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Purchaser’s election.

 

5.17     [Reserved].

 

5.18     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.

 

5.19     Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day or Trading Day, as the case may be, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day or Trading Day, as the case may be.

 

5.20     Construction. 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 the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. 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.

 

48

 

 

5.21     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

 

5.22     Equitable Adjustment. Trading volume amounts, price/volume amounts, the amount of Warrants, the amount of shares of Common Stock identified in this Agreement, Conversion Price, Exercise Price, the Underlying Common Shares, the Underlying Preferred Shares and similar figures in the Transaction Documents shall be equitably adjusted (but without duplication) to offset the effect of stock splits, similar events and as otherwise described in this Agreement, Note and Warrants.

8A. Applicable to Individuals ONLY. Please answer the following questions concerning your financial condition as an Accredited Investor (within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D). If the purchaser is more than one individual, each individual must initial an answer where the question indicates a “yes” or “no” response and must answer any other question fully, indicating to which individual such answer applies. If the purchaser is purchasing jointly with his or her spouse, one answer may be indicated for the couple as a whole:

 

8.1       Does your net worth* (or joint net worth with your spouse) exceed $1,000,000?

 

       
Yes   No

(a)       Initial Mandatory Registration. Promptly following the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Initial Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Initial Registrable Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use Form S-1 or such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f).

By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Initial Registration Statement.

Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Purchaser”) the “Plan of Distribution” and “Selling Shareholders” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be required by law.

(c)       [Reserved].

 

(d)       Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Purchaser shall have the right, at its own expense, to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (Legal Counsel), which shall be Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Purchaser. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(e)       Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as any such Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

 

(f)       Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement, the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants and such calculation shall assume the Warrants are then exercisable in full into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants).

(g)       Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If (i) the Initial Registration Statement when declared effective fails to register the Initial Required Registration Amount of Initial Registrable Securities (a “Registration Failure”), (ii) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (an “Effectiveness Failure”) or (iii) on any day after the applicable Effective Date, sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r))) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of the suspension of trading or any other limitation imposed by an Eligible Market, a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or a failure to maintain the listing of the Common Stock) (a “Maintenance Failure” and collectively with a Registration Failure, a Filing Failure, and an Effectiveness Failure, the “Failures” and each a “Failure”), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of a Failure (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or the additional obligation of the Company to register any Cutback Shares), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities whether or not included in such Registration Statement, on each of the following dates: (i) the day of a Registration Failure, (ii) the day of a Filing Failure; (iii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure; (iv) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure; (v) on the thirtieth day after the date of a Registration Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Registration Failure is cured; (vi) on the thirtieth day after the date of a Filing Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Filing Failure is cured; (vii) on the thirtieth day after the date of an Effectiveness Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (viii) on the thirtieth day after the initial date of a Maintenance Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Maintenance Failure is cured; provided however, in the event that there shall be more than one Failure occurring simultaneously, the 1.0% shall apply in the aggregate (e.g., during any single or multiple Failure, 1% shall be due, however 1% shall not be due “ per Failure” if the Failures are simultaneous and for so long as such Failures are simultaneous). The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(g) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates set forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Registration Delay Payments shall (i) not, in the aggregate, exceed seven percent (7%) of the aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) cease to accrue when all of the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations, and (iii) cease to accrue upon the termination of the Registration Period (as defined below).

3.       Related Obligations.

 

At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(e) or 2(f), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(a)       The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date that is two (2) years and six (6) months after the Closing Date or (ii) the date on which the Purchaser shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any 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 the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The term “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean, among other things, that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is promptly sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.

(b)       The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

 

(c)       The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for those filed by reason of the Company filing Annual Reports on Form 10 - K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, (B) permit the Purchaser to review and comment on the “Plan of Distribution” and “Selling Shareholders” sections of the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement to the extent any changes are made to those sections, and (C) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects; provided however, that if the delay in filing the Registration Statement is due to Legal Counsel’s or the Purchaser’s unreasonable objections (and unreasonable refusal to allow the Company to file the Registration Statement) then in such event, no Registration Failure (or similar event that triggers a Registration Delay Payment) shall be deemed to have occurred with such delay arising from Legal Counsel’s unreasonable objections, or solely with respect to the Purchaser, arising from the Purchaser’s unreasonable objections. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided however, that if the delay in filing the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is due to Legal Counsel’s unreasonable objections (and unreasonable refusal to allow the Registration Statement to become effective) then in such event, no Effectiveness Failure (or similar event that triggers a Registration Delay Payment) shall be deemed to have occurred. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

(f)       The Company shall notify Legal Counsel in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable but not later than the first Business Day after becoming aware of such event, (i) as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or 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 (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), or (ii) that results in the lack of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, or lack of effectiveness of any Registration Statement. The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel by email on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

(i)       If the Purchaser is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or the Company and the Purchaser agree that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the Purchaser, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Purchaser (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except if the Purchaser agrees to keep such Records confidential and not to trade on such information) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement.

Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and the Purchaser) shall be deemed to limit the Purchaser’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

(k)       The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure the inclusion for quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market or (iii) if, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on another Eligible Market for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).

 

(l)       The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser, and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Purchaser may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Purchaser may request.

(o)       Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of preventing the Company from performing its obligations hereunder.

 

(p)       The Company shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

 

(q)        Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Purchaser) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(r)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Purchaser in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Purchaser) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Purchasers in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed ten (10) consecutive Trading Days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of twenty (20) Trading Days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an “Allowable Grace Period). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Purchaser receives the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Purchaser receives the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Purchaser has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Purchaser’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Purchaser has not yet settled.

(s)       Except as required by applicable law, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify the Purchaser as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and the Purchaser being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” Section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement. If the Company is required by law or in response to a comment received by the SEC to identify the Purchaser as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market, prior to so identifying the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly notify each the Purchaser of the legal requirement and give each the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to persuade the applicable regulator that said disclosure is not required. If the Purchaser is unable to eliminate the legal requirement to be identified as an underwriter, the Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days, or such shorter time as required by the applicable regulator or applicable law, to consent to such disclosure or to agree to withdraw as a selling shareholder under the Registration Statement. If the Purchaser agrees to withdraw as a selling shareholder under the Registration Statement, the Company shall not be responsible for any such Failures with respect to the Purchaser.

 

4.       Obligations of the Purchaser.

 

(a)       At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated Filing Date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the information the Company requires from the Purchaser to be included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Purchaser that the Purchaser shall timely 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 reasonably required by the Company to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall timely execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(b)       The Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder.

 

14

 

 

(c)       The Purchaser agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) (a “No Sale Notice”), the Purchaser will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Purchaser’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Purchaser has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Purchaser’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) and for which the Purchaser has not yet settled.

 

(d)       The Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption there from in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

5.       Expenses of Registration.

6.       Indemnification.

 

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a)       To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Purchaser, the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may reasonably become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.

 

(b)       In connection with any Registration Statement in which an the Purchaser is participating, the Purchaser agrees to hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages 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 information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), the Purchaser shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Purchaser shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Purchaser as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9

 

16

 

 

(c)       Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, 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 and has acknowledged its indemnification obligations hereunder in writing, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Purchaser. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. 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 Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

17

 

 

(d)       The indemnification required by this Section 6 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 Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

(e)       The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

7.       Contribution.

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

8.       Reports Under the 1934 Act.

 

With a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (Rule 144), the Company agrees to:

 

(a)       make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b)       file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

(c)       furnish to the Purchaser so long as the Purchaser owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and that it has satisfied the current public information provisions set forth in Rule 144.

 

18

 

 

9.       Assignment of Registration Rights.

 

The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Purchaser to any transferee of all or any portion of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

10.       Amendment of Registration Rights.

 

Provisions of this Agreement 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 the Required Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon the 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. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

11.       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)       A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" and "Selling Shareholders" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be required by law. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.

 

(c)          Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, other than to register securities issued or issuable in connection with (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 15, 2018, as subsequently amended, by and between the Company and each purchaser identified on the signature page thereto (the “Palladium SPA”), (ii) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 8, 2019, by and between the Company and Calm.com, Inc. (the “Calm SPA”) and (iii) that certain reload offer letter, dated as of July 8, 2019 (the “Reload Offer Letter”).

 

(d)          Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right, at their own expense, to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 ("Legal Counsel"), which shall be Sills Cummis & Gross, P.C., or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company's obligations under this Agreement.

(e)          Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as any such Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

 

(f)          Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor's allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(c), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount.

 

(g)          Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If (i) the Initial Registration Statement when declared effective fails to register the Initial Required Registration Amount of Initial Registrable Securities (a "Registration Failure"), (ii) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a "Filing Failure") or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (an "Effectiveness Failure") or (iii) on any day after the applicable Effective Date, sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r))) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of the suspension of trading or any other limitation imposed by an Eligible Market, a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or a failure to maintain the listing of the Common Stock) (a "Maintenance Failure" and collectively with a Registration Failure, a Filing Failure, and an Effectiveness Failure, the “Failures” and each a “Failure”), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of a Failure (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or the additional obligation of the Company to register any Cutback Shares), the Company shall promptly give Holder and Legal Counsel written notice of any such Failure and shall pay to each Holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate amount of $7,000,000, on each of the following dates: (i) the day of a Registration Failure, (ii) the day of a Filing Failure; (iii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure; (iv) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure; (v) on the thirtieth day after the date of a Registration Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Registration Failure is cured; (vi) on the thirtieth day after the date of a Filing Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Filing Failure is cured; (vii) on the thirtieth day after the date of an Effectiveness Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (viii) on the thirtieth day after the initial date of a Maintenance Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Maintenance Failure is cured; provided however, in the event that there shall be more than one Failure occurring simultaneously, the 1.0% shall apply in the aggregate (e.g., during any single or multiple Failure, 1% shall be due, however 1% shall not be due “per Failure” if the Failures are simultaneous and for so long as such Failures are simultaneous). The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(g) are referred to herein as "Registration Delay Payments." Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates set forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Registration Delay Payments shall (i) not, in the aggregate, exceed seven percent (7%) of $7,000,000 (ii) cease to accrue when all of the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations, and (iii) cease to accrue upon the termination of the Registration Period (as defined below).

 

 6 

 

 

(h)          Limitation on Other Registration Statements. Other than to register securities issued or issuable in connection with the Palladium SPA, Calm SPA and the Reload Offer Letter, the Company shall not file another registration statement under the 1933 Act prior to the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the date that the Initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) the end of the Registration Period (as defined in Section 3(a)) nor include in the Initial Registration Statement or Additional Registration any securities except the Registrable Securities and Additional Registrable Securities; provided that, this Section 2(h) shall not prevent the Company from (a) filing a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 with the SEC at any time beginning thirty (30) calendar days after the initial filing of the Initial Registration Statement with the SEC or (b) filing a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3.

 

3.            Related Obligations.

 

At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(e) or 2(f), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(a)          The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date that is two (2) years and six (6) months after the Closing Date or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement (the "Registration Period"). The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any 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 the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The term "commercially reasonable efforts" shall mean, among other things, that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is promptly sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.

 

 7 

 

 

(b)          The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

 

(c)          The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for those filed by reason of the Company filing Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, (B) permit each Investor to review and comment on the “Plan of Distribution” and “Selling Shareholders” sections of the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement to the extent any changes are made to those sections, and (C) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects; provided however, that if the delay in filing the Registration Statement is due to Legal Counsel’s or an Investor’s unreasonable objections (and unreasonable refusal to allow the Company to file the Registration Statement) then in such event, no Registration Failure (or similar event that triggers a Registration Delay Payment) shall be deemed to have occurred with such delay arising from Legal Counsel’s unreasonable objections, or solely with respect to an Investor, arising from such Investor’s unreasonable objections. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided however, that if the delay in filing the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is due to Legal Counsel’s unreasonable objections (and unreasonable refusal to allow the Registration Statement to become effective) then in such event, no Effectiveness Failure (or similar event that triggers a Registration Delay Payment) shall be deemed to have occurred. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company's obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

(d)          The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(e)          The Company shall notify Legal Counsel in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable but not later than the first Business Day after becoming aware of such event, (i) as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or 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 (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), or (ii) that results in the lack of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, subject to Section 3(q), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, or lack of effectiveness of any Registration Statement. The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel by email on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. By 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the day following the date any post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

(f)          The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify Legal Counsel of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(g)          If any Investor is required by the SEC to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or the Company and an Investor agree that it should be identified as an underwriter of Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement and the Registration Statement is so modified, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.

 

 9 

 

 

(h)          If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or the Company and an Investor agrees that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor who agrees to keep such Records confidential and not to trade on such information) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, to the extent legally permitted and practicable under the circumstances, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors' ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

 

(i)          The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor a reasonable period of time, at the Investor's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

 

(j)          The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure the inclusion for quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market or (iii) if, despite the Company's commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on another Eligible Market for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(j).

 

(k)          The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

 

 10 

 

 

(l)          If reasonably requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.

 

(m)          The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

(n)          Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of preventing the Company from performing its obligations hereunder.

 

(o)          The Company shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

 

(p)          Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(q)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a "Grace Period"); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed ten (10) consecutive Trading Days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of twenty (20) Trading Days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an "Allowable Grace Period"). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(f) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Acquisition Agreements in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Investor's receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

 11 

 

 

(r)          Except as required by applicable law, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and any Investor being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any Securities Acquisition Agreements (including but not limited to all Loan Documents, as defined in the Credit Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the "Plan of Distribution" section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement. If the Company is required by law or in response to a comment received by the SEC to identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market, prior to so identifying any such Investor, the Company shall promptly notify each such Investor of the legal requirement and give each such Investor a reasonable opportunity to persuade the applicable regulator that said disclosure is not required. If the applicable Investors are unable to eliminate the legal requirement to be identified as an underwriter, the applicable Investor shall have five (5) Business Days, or such shorter time as required by the applicable regulator or applicable law, to consent to such disclosure or to agree to withdraw as a selling shareholder under the Registration Statement. If an Investor agrees to withdraw as a selling shareholder under the Registration Statement, the Company shall not be responsible for any such Failures with respect to any such Investor.

 

4.            Obligations of the Investors.

 

(a)          At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated Filing Date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall timely 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 reasonably required by the Company to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall timely execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(b)          Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees 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 Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

 

(c)          Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) (a “No Sale Notice”), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Acquisition Agreements in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

 12 

 

 

(d)          Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

5.            Expenses of Registration.

 

All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting or broker-dealer discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company.

 

6.            Indemnification.

 

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a)          To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, "Claims"), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"), to which any of them may reasonably become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, "Violations"). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

 13 

 

 

(b)          In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages 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 information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement in the “Plan of Distribution” or “Selling Shareholders” sections thereof; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

(c)          Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, 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 and has acknowledged its indemnification obligations hereunder in writing, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. 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 Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

 14 

 

 

(d)          The indemnification required by this Section 6 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 Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

(e)          The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

7.            Contribution.

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

8.            Reports Under the 1934 Act.

 

With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees to:

 

(a)          make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b)          file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

 15 

 

 

(c)          furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and that it has satisfied the current public information provisions set forth in Rule 144.

 

9.            Assignment of Registration Rights.

 

The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor's Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Acquisition Agreements.

 

10.          Amendment of Registration Rights.

 

Provisions of this Agreement 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 the Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor 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. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

11.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

 

(b)          Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery or telegram, or (v) transmitted via electronic mail, in each case addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed effective (a) upon hand delivery at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), (b) on the second business day following the date of mailing by express courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or upon actual receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur or (c) on the date sent by e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient on a Business Day, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient on a non-Business Day. The addresses and email addresses for such communications shall be:

The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

Re:XpresSpa Group, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have been requested by XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain agreement and related documents, dated as of July ___, 2019 (collectively the "Securities Acquisition Agreements"), entered into by and among the Company and the Lender named therein (collectively, the "Holders") pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders a non-convertible promissory note (the “Note”) which, upon the Company’s receipt of stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), will become convertible for shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") (the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Note and Securities Acquisition Agreements, collectively, the "Conversion Shares"). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the Securities Acquisition Agreements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The description of the Registrable Securities are set forth on Schedule A hereto [Selling Shareholder Table]. In connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on July ___, 2019, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-_____________) (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling shareholder thereunder.

 

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC's staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]. We have no knowledge, subsequent to such telephonic conversation with the SEC's staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC. Based on the foregoing, the Registrable Securities set forth on Schedule A hereto are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

This letter, unless and until subsequently revoked or modified orally by [REQUIRES COMPLETION] or in writing from any member of this firm (which writing may include email correspondence), shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the Registrable Securities set forth on Schedule A hereto are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of Registrable Securities to the Holders as contemplated by the Company's Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated July [●], 2019.

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

 

 

EXHIBIT B

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The shares of Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issued upon conversion of the Notes that were issued to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Securities Acquisition Agreements dated as of July __, 2019 (the “Securities Acquisitions Agreement”), by and among the Company and the investors named therein. We are registering the shares of Common Stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

 The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the Note, as of _________, 2019.

 

The third column lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on (i) conversion of the Note or issuance of Common Stock.

 

 In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC, as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the Notes, a selling stockholder may not convert the Notes to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock following such exercise. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the Warrants issued pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders of such shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock. 

 

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

 

  · on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
  · in the over-the-counter market;
  · in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
  · through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
  · ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  · block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  · purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  · an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  · privately negotiated transactions;
  · short sales;
  · sales pursuant to Rule 144;
  · broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
  · a combination of any such methods of sale; and
  · any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

 

 

 

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock, Note owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.

  

 

 

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, estimated to be $[___] in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If (I) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (a) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to issue to the Holder a certificate without any restrictive legend for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or (b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are not eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice for delivery on or before the Share Delivery Date a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, (II) with respect to only the Warrant Shares originally issuable pursuant to this Warrant prior to any adjustment pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Warrant (the “Base Warrant Shares”), after the Initial Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and during the Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), (x) the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of all of the Base Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Base Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Base Warrant Shares, (y) the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement so notify the Holder and (z) the Company fails to, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, deliver the Base Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Base Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (III) with respect to any Additional Shares (as defined below), after 90 days after the Issuance Date (the “Additional Shares Effectiveness Deadline”), (x) a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Additional Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Additional Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Additional Shares, (y) the Company fails to promptly so notify the Holder and (z) the Company fails to, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, deliver the Additional Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Additional Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clauses (II) and (III) are hereinafter referred to as a “Notice Failure”) and either a Notice Failure or an event described in clause (I) above (referred to herein as an “Exercise Failure”) occurs, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Notice Failure or Exercise Failure an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) the higher of (i) the then in effect Exercise Price of this Warrant or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. If the Company is required to pay liquidated damages hereunder solely as a result of a Notice Failure, the liquidated damages related thereto will cease to accrue when the registration statement requirements set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement are complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that the Company may be liable for Registration Delay Payments pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement in the event of an Exercise Failure or Notice Failure. In the event of a Notice Failure, damages will accrue at the higher of (a) 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) the higher of (i) the then in effect Exercise Price of this Warrant or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice and (b) the rate set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, however, that damages shall not be cumulative. In addition to the foregoing, if an Exercise Failure or Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after the Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale through a broker by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out of pocket expenses related to the Buy-In, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (such number of shares not to exceed the number of Warrant Shares failed to be delivered) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the sale price of the Common Stock at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.”

10.        The Company undertakes to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain within one hundred (120) days after the date of this Amendment, Shareholder Approval for the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, including, without limitation, (a) the issuance of all the shares of its Common Stock that could be issued pursuant to Sections 6 and 7.1.3 of the Series F Certificate of Designation and (b) the reduction of the exercise price with respect to the Additional Shares (as defined in the Class A Warrants) to be issued in connection with Section 2(a) of the Class A Warrants to $2.00; provided, that in no event shall the Company seek the consent of its shareholders for the approval of the reduction in the exercise or conversion prices of any other security of the Company, whether or not outstanding on the date hereof, unless such approval is conditional upon simultaneous receipt of the Shareholder Approval. If, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts the Shareholder Approval is not initially obtained, the Company shall cause an additional shareholder meeting to be held every three (3) months thereafter until such Shareholder Approval is obtained. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10, the Company shall have no obligation to solicit or obtain the Shareholder Approval if Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) no longer applies to the Company or would not prohibit a Holder from acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Series F Certificate of Designation or Class A Warrants without receipt of such Shareholder Approval.

XpresSpa Strengthens its Liquidity, Capital Structure and Strategic Partnership

Generates First Quarter of Positive Comparable Store Sales Since 2017

 

NEW YORK, July 8, 2019 - XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA), a health and wellness holding company, today announced that it has improved its capital structure and significantly strengthened its financial condition through a series of debt and equity transactions. This new round of funding provides the Company the necessary working capital for operations, new initiatives to improve the business and capital to continue to renovate spas and build five new spas by the end of 2019.

 

Doug Satzman, XpresSpa Group CEO, stated, “While these series of transactions dilute existing common shareholders in the short-term, we are removing the liquidation preference of the Series D preferred shareholders, which is a necessary positive step forward for XpresSpa. Our Board had limited options to simplify and enhance our capital structure, address potential loan defaults, and secure additional working capital to support operations, invest in new technology, attract top talent, renovate spas and build five new spas by year-end. We have now substantially improved our balance sheet through the restructuring and reduction of outstanding secured debt and conversion of preferred shares to common, subject to shareholders’ approval. We thank our investors for their commitment and for providing us with greater flexibility as we execute our nearer-term and longer-term priorities and work to build a sustainable and enduring brand that is already demonstrating upward trending results.”

 

·The Company recently eliminated over $2.3 million of secured convertible notes due November 17, 2019 pursuant to an agreement by which the notes were converted into an aggregate of 942,432 shares of underlying common stock (585,660 shares of common stock that were issued and 356,772 shares underlying warrants that were issued as a result of a beneficial ownership blocker) at a conversion price equal to $2.48 per share.

 

·B3D, LLC, XpresSpa’s senior secured lender, has agreed to amend the Company’s $6.5 million senior secured note. The amendment extends the senior secured note’s maturity by 17 months to May 31, 2021, increases the principal amount by $0.5 million, reduces the interest rate from 11.24% to 9.00%, provides the Company the option to conserve cash and pay interest in common stock and, subject to Shareholder Approval, the entire principal amount due of the senior secured note will be convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share. This amendment will enable the Company to deploy more capital to operations and eliminate its obligation to pay down or refinance the current principal amount of $6.5 million by December 31, 2019.

 

·The Company recently received a second capital infusion from Calm.com, Inc. of $2.5 million in 5.00% unsecured convertible notes (the “Calm Note”) due May 31, 2022. Calm is the world’s #1 app for sleep, meditation and relaxation with over 50 million downloads and 75,000 new users daily. The outstanding principal balance of the Calm Note will be convertible at Calm’s option into shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to $3.10 per share. In addition, Calm was issued warrants to purchase 937,500 shares of common stock which are exercisable beginning six months from the time of issuance, have a term of five years, and feature an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

 

 

 

 

·In addition, on July 8, 2019, holders constituting a majority of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock agreed to convert approximately $24 million of the Series D 9% Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a price of $2.00 per share, subject to Shareholder Approval. The conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock creates a more simplified capital structure, aligns the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock with the common shareholders and removes the dilutive uncertainty associated with the Series D Preferred Stock when it automatically converted into common stock at maturity at the then current market price.

 

·Finally, the Company entered into an amendment with the investors to its May 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement to provide for, among other provisions, (i) the waiver of certain provisions regarding restrictions on subsequent equity sales and participation in subsequent financings, and the removal of certain such provisions upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, (ii) the amendment to certain provisions of the Class A Warrants issued pursuant to the May 2018 SPA to reduce the exercise price of the Class A Warrants issuable pursuant to anti-dilution price protection contained in such Class A Warrants to $2.00 per share with respect to a limited number of Class A Warrants and to $2.00 per share with respect to the remainder Class A Warrants following receipt of Shareholder Approval, (iii) the cancellation of all outstanding Class B Warrants and (iv) the establishment of a new class of preferred stock, to be designated Series F Convertible Preferred Stock and the issuance of 9,000 shares of such Series F Preferred Stock to the parties to the May 2018 SPA Amendment, which will be convertible into common stock upon receipt of Shareholder Approval.

 

Mr. Satzman continued, “We are grateful to our senior secured lender B3D, LLC for its continued commitment to our business and for the support and flexibility it has continued to provide to us by its willingness to once again restructure our senior secured credit facility. We are also pleased to receive our second investment from Calm, while also extending and broadening our strategic partnership. Looking ahead, we will be expanding our relationship to include XpresSpa’s international portfolio and we will collaborate on testing an expanded Calm brick-and-mortar experience at select domestic XpresSpa locations. We believe that these efforts will provide an even more holistic wellness experience for the traveler.”

 

Mr. Satzman concluded, “We also continue to execute on prioritized initiatives to improve performance. As we indicated in our first quarter 2019 earnings release, our sales momentum and employee engagement has been building since March when we marked our first month of positive comparable store sales growth since 2017. Encouragingly, this positive trend has now been sustained through June with the second quarter 2019 representing our first full quarter of positive comparable store sales in two years.”
