Item 1. Description of Business.
Business of NovaRay Medical, Inc.
On October 6, 2006, we incorporated with the name Vision Acquisition I, Inc. under the laws of
the State of Delaware to investigate and, if such investigation warranted, acquire a target company
or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. On December 26,
2007, we changed our name to NovaRay Medical, Inc. Upon completion of the Merger, we adopted
NovaRays business plan. The combined company is named NovaRay Medical, Inc.
2
Business of NovaRay
NovaRay is our wholly-owned subsidiary and a Delaware corporation based in Palo Alto,
California. In June 2005, NovaRay acquired substantially all the assets, including intellectual
property, of NexRay, Inc. (NexRay), a privately held developer of digital x-ray technology for
medical imaging, through the purchase of such assets in NexRays then pending Chapter 11 bankruptcy
proceeding. The technology enables real-time, low-dose tomographic imaging for a variety of
clinical applications. NexRay developed much of NovaRays current cardiac imaging system. From
NexRays inception in May 1992 through June 2005, NexRay raised approximately $80 million,
principally through the issuance of preferred stock and loans from various investors. See Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
NovaRays first product, which has received 510(k) marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), addresses the cardiac catheterization market. NovaRays proprietary
technology provides for enhanced image quality, real-time multi-slice tomography, reduction in
radiation exposure for physicians and patients, and open patient access. These advantages
especially benefit the image-guided, minimally invasive cardiac procedures that are rapidly growing
in number and that are among the most profitable procedures for U.S. hospitals. The bulk of the
market for cardiac catheterization imaging systems is controlled by the medical divisions of
General Electric, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba. Our goal is to capture significant market share
within this market on the basis of the proprietary features and unique capabilities of our product.
To date NovaRay has not sold any products to customers.
Approximately $80 million has been invested in the development of this system, and we have 23
issued U.S. patents with claims as to our system and its underlying technologies.
Product
The NovaRay Cardiac Catheterization Imaging System
We believe that our cardiac catheterization imaging system incorporates a number of unique
developments. Our system uses a large-area scanning x-ray source to project an x-ray beam through
the patient onto a small-area, high-efficiency detector. A high-speed computer reconstructs
multi-slice tomographic images in real time. This geometry and reconstruction provides many imaging
and performance advantages as well as radiation-reduction advantages for the patient, cardiologist,
and catheterization lab staff. We believe these advantages will be compelling to interventional
cardiologists and to a hospitals cardiac program.
Continuous high-quality diagnostic imaging at low radiation exposure
.
Our inverse geometry and
high-efficiency detector allows our system to produce high-quality diagnostic images at an
equivalent radiation exposure as the lower-quality interventional mode of conventional systems.
Further, our x-ray source cooling allows our system to operate as long as needed in the diagnostic
mode, rather than being limited to approximately 20-second intervals as with current conventional
systems.
High image quality in large patients or when viewing at steep angles.
We believe our system
excels at imaging larger patients or viewing patients at steep angles. Our system is capable of
this result because it utilizes a small-area detector at a large distance from the patient. For
geometric reasons, virtually no scattered x-ray photons strike the x-ray detector. In conventional
x-ray geometries, scattered x-rays impinge on the detector and add to background noise reducing
image quality. These effects of scattered x-rays are more pronounced with large patients or when
viewing patients at steep angles. Our detector receives negligible scattered x-ray radiation and,
therefore, maintains its high image quality even in these challenging imaging situations.
Real-time multi-slice tomography.
Because of its unique scanning x-ray source, our system
captures many different views through the patient at high speed with no motion of the gantry. A
high-speed computer reconstructs multi-slice tomographic images in real time. The computer can
combine all the tomographic slices to form a projection image, similar to conventional
catheterization imaging systems, or the computer can select one or a few tomographic slices to form
images with enhanced clarity of a specific region within the body.
Overlying anatomy removed from images
.
Because our systems images are formed in the computer
by combining individual tomographic slices, the slices associated with ribs or spine can be
eliminated to provide
3
enhanced clarity of either the entire heart or of the specific area where the intervention is
taking place, at the physicians option.
Catheter-tracking and navigation.
Our multi-slice imaging technology enables real-time
tracking of objects within the imaging volume. With a previously obtained CT or MRI scan, the
objects position can be plotted against a 3-D rendering of the relevant anatomy. For example,
specialized electrophysiology (EP) catheters can be followed through the chambers of the heart in
order to allow a physician to position a device precisely in relation to the heart wall. Thus, our
system has the potential to eliminate the need for the auxiliary navigation system that is often
used in conjunction with conventional cardiac catheterization imaging systems. This feature does
not yet have regulatory clearance.
Dramatically reduce radiation.
Our systems inverse geometry and high-efficiency detector
reduce the radiation exposure delivered to the patient by as much as 10X, and reduce the exposure
delivered to the physician and other hospital personnel by as much as 5X. Conventional systems used
for interventional procedures expose the patients to the equivalent of 200 to 500 chest x-ray
equivalents per minute. Cardiac catheterization procedures typically have 10 to 30 minutes of
imaging time and some lengthy procedures can have up to 60 minutes of imaging time, resulting in
radiation exposures of up to 30,000 chest x-ray equivalents. With these high exposure levels and
the increasing concern for radiation safety, the advantage of our systems radiation exposure
reduction to the patient is substantial. Many interventional cardiologists do not wear their
radiation-monitoring badges to prevent detection of radiation overexposure and the corresponding
loss of hospital privileges and income. Our systems reduced radiation mitigates this compliance
problem and enables an increased level of physician productivity and income. The reduced radiation
to patients, cardiologists, and catheterization lab staff is both a safety benefit and a system
advantage.
Open patient access.
The inverse geometry of our system allows the detector to be positioned
approximately one meter above the patient. This open design is less claustrophobic to the patient
and provides better patient access for the cardiologist.
Simple, accurate quantification of dimensions
.
Our system will enable precise measurements and
quantification because the magnification of every image slice is known. Vessel diameter and
stenosis length are easily and accurately measured in order to select the correct stent size. This
feature does not yet have regulatory clearance and will require a filing with the FDA.
As described above, our system provides imaging and performance benefits as well as safety
advantages for the patient, cardiologist, and catheterization lab staff. We expect that our system
can be manufactured at a cost comparable to that of a conventional cardiac catheterization imaging
system, and that its maintenance costs will be comparable or less.
Other applications beyond cardiac catheterization
We believe our proprietary systems have many applications beyond the cardiac catheterization
market segment. These other market segments include abdominal, peripheral vascular, neurovascular
and low-dose lung-nodule imaging, perhaps enabling screening. We have an existing license agreement for certain of these
other applications with NRCT LLC, an entity formed by certain of our officers and directors to
license our technology for certain of these other applications. See Certain Relationships and
Related Party Transactions, and Director Independence, NRCT LLC.
Our cardiac catheterization imaging system can be modified to address the abdominal,
peripheral vascular, and neurovascular markets. These applications require a larger imaging field
of view to image both legs simultaneously or the entire brain. The field of view of our system may
be increased by making the x-ray source physically larger. This change is analogous to making a
larger television picture tube. Other imaging requirements for these applications are generally
less challenging than cardiac catheterization since there is no rapidly moving anatomy, as is the
case with the heart.

Sales and Marketing Strategy
The key elements of our sales and marketing strategy are:
Use reference sites to generate sales.
We intend to place systems at two key sites with
on-site technical support. We plan to use these systems in clinical settings to demonstrate the
advantages of our system and to generate sales.
Penetrate the U.S. cardiac catheterization lab market using a dedicated industry-experienced
sales force.
We intend to build a team of sales professionals, including a Vice President of Sales,
supported by industry-experienced marketing, application, and technical service professionals. This
direct sales force will allow us to target hospitals in the U.S. We plan to market our systems
directly to interventional cardiologists and hospital administrators, who are the key decision
makers in the purchase of this equipment. We expect that our initial placements will likely be in
mixed-use electrophysiology / cardiac catheterization labs.
Work with key opinion leaders.
The NovaRay cardiac catheterization system has enjoyed the
support of its clinical and scientific advisors. As we move closer to the placement of our first
production systems, we will expand this group and formalize it into an advisory board. We expect
the members of this board to publish articles in peer-reviewed journals regarding the unique
capabilities of our system.
Clinical Applications Specialists.
We will provide clinical application specialists to work
with the reference sites to ensure that the cardiologist maximize the utility and unique features
of the system.
Service and support.
Service and support are crucial to the sale and acceptance of this type
of system. We will provide an on-site service professional with each of the initial two system
placements. These individuals will be direct employees of ours and will be fully trained before the
initial systems are delivered to customer sites. These individuals will have the goal of 100%
uptime of the system and will provide vital feedback to the engineering organization for quality
improvement.
Competition
The market for medical devices is intensely competitive. We believe that our ability to
compete in this marketplace will be based on our patent protection, trade secrets, and proprietary
know-how, which we believe in turn will present a challenge for any potential competitor to
replicate our system.
The primary suppliers of cardiac catheterization imaging systems are the medical divisions of
four multi-national companies: General Electric, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba. This is a mature
industry with little product differentiation. These four companies control the bulk of the market.
In addition, there are a few companies with smaller market shares, such as Hologic, Hitachi, and
Shimadzu.
Other imaging modalities such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and CT have
limitations and we do not expect any of them to displace cardiac catheterization imaging systems
for the definitive diagnosis and guidance of catheter-based interventional procedures. These
alternative imaging modalities play an increasing role in the diagnosis and assessment of
cardiovascular disease. This trend is expected to continue, and we believe that this will increase
the total number of patients referred for interventional procedures in the cardiac catheterization
lab as these alternative imaging technologies help identify more patients who can benefit from
these procedures.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property strategy is important to maintaining the advantages of our
technology. As of November 2007, we had 23 issued U.S. patents and have filed several international
patents in Western Europe and Japan. We believe our success in obtaining patents demonstrates that
our technology is substantially different from the technology used in other medical imaging
systems, enabling us to generate a broad patent portfolio primarily around various aspects of the
x-ray source, detector, and image-reconstruction, including:
5
|
|
Target/coolant/collimator apparatus;
|
|
|
X-ray source construction;
|
|
|
Electron-beam scanning apparatus and method;
|
|
|
Image-reconstruction apparatus and methods; and
|
|
|
Locating catheter apparatus.
|
We believe that we also have protection through trade secrets and know-how regarding
manufacturing processes, algorithms, software, and materials selection.
Governmental Approvals
As a manufacturer of medical devices, we are subject to the regulations and oversight of the
FDA and other appropriate international regulatory bodies. X-ray based cardiac catheterization
imaging systems are classified by the FDA as Class II devices, and are subject to performance
standards outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations.
5
10(k)
Premarket Notification
.
A 510(k) premarket notification was submitted to the FDA
seeking clearance
...for use in generating real-time fluoroscopic images in patients where medically
indicated.
This clearance was granted on September 1, 1998.
Quality System Regulation
.
We intend to be in strict compliance with Federal regulations,
referred to as the Quality System Regulation (QSR), which includes the Good Manufacturing Practices
(GMP) that define the elements of quality assurance. These practices will be established prior to
system design validation, production, and distribution, and are subject to periodic audits by the
FDA.
International Regulation
.
International sales of medical devices are subject to foreign
government regulations, which vary substantially from country to country. The time required to
obtain approval by a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval,
and the requirements may differ.
The primary regulatory environment in Europe is that of the European Union, which consists of
15 countries encompassing most of the major countries in Europe. Other countries, such as
Switzerland, have voluntarily adopted laws and regulations that mirror those of the European Union
with respect to medical devices. The European Union has adopted numerous directives and standards
regulating the design, manufacture, clinical trials, labeling, and adverse event reporting for
medical devices. Devices that comply with the requirements of a relevant directive are entitled to
bear CE (European Compliance) conformity marking, indicating that the device conforms with the
essential requirements of the applicable directives and, accordingly, can be commercially
distributed throughout the European Union. We have not yet met the requirements for CE conformity
that would allow commercial activities in Europe.
In Japan, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare must approve our device. We have not yet
applied for approval in Japan.
Reimbursement
.
X-ray imaging for cardiac catheterization procedures is a standard of care in
the United States and other developed countries. The costs associated with such procedures are
reimbursed. Our system is a replacement system for current systems that have standard
reimbursement. Thus, we believe that we will not have to apply for new CPT or DRG codes.
Research and Development
Research and Development expenditures for each of the periods from June 7, 2005 through
December 31, 2005, the year ended December 31, 2006, and the nine months ended September 30, 2007
was approximately $14,000, $20,000, and $122,000, respectively. Additionally, NovaRay contracts
Triple Ring Technologies, Inc. (Triple Ring) for both administrative support and research and
development work.
6
Employees
As of the closing of the Merger, we have three employees. We contract through Triple Ring for
research and development, regulatory, intellectual property, finance, and other administrative
functions.
Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained
in this report before purchasing shares of our common stock. Investing in our common stock involves
a high degree of risk. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, our business,
operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. As a result,
the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of the money you
paid to purchase our common stock.
On December 27, 2007, the Merger was completed, and the business of NovaRay was adopted as our
business. As such, the following Risk Factors are focused on the current and historical operations
of NovaRay, and generally exclude the risks associated with the prior limited operations of Vision
Acquisition I, Inc.
We have limited operating experience and a history of net losses and may never achieve or maintain
profitability.
We have incurred net losses since inception and expect to continue to operate at a loss for
the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$4,823,000. Neither the Company nor NovaRay has been profitable, and we may never achieve or
sustain profitability. Neither the Company nor NovaRay has achieved any revenue to date. If our
revenues grow more slowly than anticipated or fail to grow or if operating expenses exceed our
expectations, our ability to achieve profitability will be adversely affected. Our future operating
results are likely to fluctuate substantially from period to period and will depend upon numerous
factors, many of which are outside of our control. Such factors include, but are not limited to:
|
|
our ability to control costs associated with the commercialization of our system;
|
|
|
|
the market acceptance of our system;
|
|
|
|
our ability to compete with larger and more established competitors;
|
|
|
|
the development of new technologies to perform intravascular procedures;
|
|
|
|
the predicted length of our sales cycle;
|
|
|
|
the rate and size of expenditures associated with the implementation of our marketing
strategy for our system in the United States;
|
|
|
|
our ability to enter into agreements for the manufacture of our system on acceptable
terms;
|
|
|
|
developments with respect to regulatory matters;
|
|
|
|
our ability to attract key personnel to assist in the sales and marketing of our system;
|
|
|
|
on-going adverse economic conditions as well as economic uncertainties, recent and
possible future terrorist activities and other geopolitical instability, all of which have
increased the likelihood that hospitals may contract their spending, resulting in a
contraction of the market for cardiovascular catheterization imaging system; and
|
|
|
|
our ability to develop strategic distribution relationships in Europe and Asia.
|
Our limited operating history makes evaluation of our business difficult.
NovaRay was incorporated in June, 2005, and we have limited historical financial data upon
which to base planned operating expenses or forecast accurately our future operating results.
Revenue and income potential in our business is unproven. As a development-stage company operating
in an unproven market, we face risks and
7
uncertainties relating to our ability to implement our business plan successfully. We have not
yet demonstrated our ability to successfully commercialize any product. Successful
commercialization will require us to, among other things, obtain and maintain all applicable
regulatory approvals for our ScanCath system; finish developing our ScanCath system; manufacture
our ScanCath system; and conduct sales and marketing activities. Our operations have been limited
primarily to organizing and staffing, acquiring, developing and securing the proprietary technology
used in our product system. These operations provide a limited basis for you to assess our ability
to commercialize our product candidates and the advisability of investing in our securities.
We have not developed commercially marketable products to date.
Since inception, NovaRay has only engaged in research and development activities, and the
Company has not engaged in any business operations. We have not proven our ability to produce and
market successfully our products broadly, and we must conduct additional development before our
products will be ready for commercial sale, including product development by Triple Ring, a
third-party contractor, upon which we will depend significantly for future development. Our
operations may be adversely affected by problems encountered in connection with the development and
utilization of new technologies. These problems may limit our ability to develop commercially
successful products on a timely basis. Even if we develop products for commercial use, these
products may not be accepted by the marketplace, or we may not be capable of selling these products
at prices that will enable us to become profitable.
Market acceptance of our system is uncertain.
Our success and growth will depend on the level of market acceptance of our system by
physicians and hospitals. Physicians may not use, and hospitals may not purchase, our system unless
they determine, based on clinical data and other factors, that our system is, among other things,
an effective means of reducing radiation exposure and enhancing image quality. These determinations
will depend in part on their cost effectiveness and quality relative to competing x-ray systems and
the development of any improved systems for the catheterization lab. In addition, we will need to
expend a significant amount of resources on marketing and educational efforts to create awareness
of our system and to encourage its acceptance and adoption in the catheterization lab. If the
market for our system or its technologies does not develop sufficiently or our system or technology
is not adopted, our revenue, if any, will be harmed.
Our competitors have greater resources, which may increase the difficulty for us to achieve
significant market penetration.
The market for medical devices is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change, and
significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry
participants. Our competitors include large multinational corporations and their operating units,
including General Electric, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba. These companies and certain of our other
competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than we do. Each
of these companies is either publicly traded or a division of a publicly traded company, and enjoys
several competitive advantages, including:
|
|
significantly greater name recognition;
|
|
|
established relationships with health care professionals and customers;
|
|
|
additional lines of products, and the ability to offer rebates or bundle products to offer
higher discounts or incentives to gain a competitive advantage;
|
|
|
established distribution networks and relationships with customers; and
|
|
|
greater resources for product development, sales and marketing, and patent litigation.
|
These companies and others have developed and will continue to develop new products that
compete directly with our system. In addition, our competitors spend significantly greater funds
for the research, development, promotion, and sale of new and existing products. These resources
allow them to respond more
8
quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. For all the
foregoing reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future
competitors.
Failure to successfully develop, manufacture, market, and sell our system will have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We currently have only one product under development. The successful development and
commercialization of this product is critical to our future success. Our ability to develop,
manufacture, market, and sell our system successfully is subject to a number of risks, many of
which are outside our control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and
manufacture our system successfully in commercial quantities at acceptable costs, market our
system, or generate sales of our system. Failure to achieve any of the foregoing would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For
example, we have contracted with Triple Ring to redesign the image-construction computer used in
out product in order to lower costs and address parts obsolescence. If this redesign is not
successful, our ability to market our product will be adversely affected and this will harm our
sales. In addition, we do not have long-term supply agreements with any of our key parts vendors.
If we cannot reliably obtain parts from these vendors in the future at prices acceptable to us, our
ability to manufacture and sell our product will be harmed, and such a situation would in turn harm
our sales and operating margins.
The cardiac catheterization market is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change.
The cardiac catheterization market is extremely competitive and characterized by evolving
industry standards and new product enhancements. Our system is technologically innovative and
requires significant planning, design, development, and testing at the technological, product, and
manufacturing process levels. These activities require significant capital commitments and
investment. There can be no assurance that our system or proprietary technologies will remain
competitive following the introduction of new products and technologies. Furthermore, there can be
no assurance that our competitors will not develop products that are more effective or that can be
produced at a lower cost than our system or which render our system obsolete. There can be no
assurance that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition from new technologies or
products introduced by existing competitors and by new companies entering the market.
We also face competition from companies that are developing drugs or other medical devices or
procedures to treat or prevent the conditions for which our product is designed to address. The
medical device and pharmaceutical industries make large investments in research and development and
innovation is rapid and continuous. If new products or technologies emerge that provide the same or
superior benefits as our products at equal or lesser cost, they could render our products obsolete,
unmarketable or less in demand. For example, cholesterol lowering drugs could significantly lessen
the demand for the cardiac procedures our product is used for, and it is possible that alternative
imaging technologies, such as MRI technologies, could advance in a manner that would make them more
competitive with our fluoroscopy technology.
We have no sales and marketing experience or current staff and any failure to expand sales of our
system will negatively impact future sales.
We have no experience in marketing, sales, and distribution of our system and currently have
no marketing and sales staff. We are in the process of establishing marketing, sales, and
distribution capabilities in order to support our commercialization efforts. We will be required to
recruit and retain highly trained salespeople, and no assurance can be given that such personnel
will be available on terms acceptable to us. There can also be no assurance that our marketing and
direct sales force, if established, will be successful in marketing our system to physicians and
hospitals. Failure to establish an effective sales and marketing organization would have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our goal is to
establish key initial reference sites by the end of 2008 and first system placements in the first
half of 2009. If we are unsuccessful in doing so, or test sites do not meet our expectations, our
ability to generate revenue will be adversely affected. In addition, due to the limited market
awareness of our system, we believe that the sales process could be lengthy, requiring us to
educate patients and physicians regarding the benefits of our system.
9
Because we have no manufacturing experience for commercial-scale quantities of our system and we
rely on third party suppliers for many of our components, we may be unable to control the
availability of our system.
We have no manufacturing experience for commercial-scale quantities of our proprietary system.
Our failure to enter into or maintain agreements with suppliers for sufficient quantities of
components needed to manufacture our system or to enter into agreements with third parties to
expand commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities as needed would have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our
current or future contract manufacturers will meet our requirements for quality, quantity, or
timeliness. If the supply of any of our component parts is interrupted, alternative contract
manufacturers may require prior FDA approval and/or validation and parts may not be available in
sufficient volumes within required timeframes, if at all, to meet our production needs. Each of
these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
We will need to retain our key personnel and attract and retain many new employees.
We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management, in particular Jack Price,
our Chief Executive Officer and President, Marc Whyte, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief
Financial Officer and Edward Solomon, our Chief Technical Officer. We do not carry key person
insurance covering any members of our senior management. The loss of any of these persons could
prevent the implementation and completion of our objectives, including the development and
introduction of our products, and could require the remaining management members to direct
immediate and substantial attention to seeking a replacement.
We currently have only three employees. We plan to expand rapidly our operations and
significantly grow our sales and marketing, and financial and administrative operations. This
expansion is expected to place a significant strain on our management and will require hiring a
substantial number of qualified personnel. Accordingly, recruiting and retaining such personnel in
the future will be critical to our success. There is intense competition from other companies and
research and academic institutions for qualified personnel in the areas of our activities. If we
fail to identify, attract, retain and motivate these highly skilled personnel, we may be unable to
continue our development and commercialization activities.
We are dependent on certain related parties for contract development services and commercialization
of our technologies outside our anticipated primary markets.
To date, substantially all of development of our technology and product has been performed by
others. At present, we have contracted with Triple Ring to provide research and development
services to prepare a commercial-ready improved version of NovaRays ScanPath X-ray fluoroscopy
system. Payments in excess of $9,500,000 are anticipated over the term of this agreement for these
development services and related tooling and materials costs. Existing officers and directors of
the Company own approximately 42.3% of Triple Rings outstanding shares. In part due to our lack of
control over Triple Ring, we have less ability to affect the likelihood of success of these
research and development activities.
NovaRay has granted an exclusive license to NRCT LLC for certain closed gantry applications
and a non-exclusive license for industrial applications and certain open gantry applications. All
such licenses are for applications and fields that we do not currently consider competitive, but
the markets for our products may change in the future and cause this license to have a restrictive
effect on our operations. NRCT LLC, which is seeking to sublicense our technology to third parties
within these fields, is owned 90% by certain of our existing stockholders and our officers and
directors own approximately 74% of the outstanding ownership interests of NRCT LLC. As
consideration for the grant of this license, we hold a 10% interest in NRCT LLC. NRCT LLC may not
be successful in licensing our technology or in obtaining a return to us for these other
applications.
New regulations, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may
cause us difficulty in retaining or attracting qualified officers and directors, which could
adversely affect the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our
common stock.
We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of
board committees required to provide for our effective management because of the recent changes in
the rules and regulations that
10
govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications by principal
executive officers. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the issuance of a
series of new rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the
SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by the stock exchanges and NASDAQ. The
perceived increase personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified
individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.
Further, some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee
membership, particularly with respect to an individuals independence from the corporation and
level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and
retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain
qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to retain listing
of our common stock on any stock exchange could be adversely affected.
We currently depend on third party suppliers and manufacturers for components of our system, and
the loss of any of these suppliers or manufacturers could materially harm our business.
Outside contractors and suppliers supply numerous components, subsystems, and other parts used
in our system. Many of these components, subsystems, and other parts are only available from single
or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, some of these contractors and suppliers require
validation studies in order to act as a contractor or supplier for our system. To the extent our
current contractors and suppliers cannot support our system, we will be forced to validate other
contractors and suppliers that could result in a delay in the manufacturing of our system.
Operating results could be materially adversely affected by a stoppage or delay of supply,
substitution by more expensive or less reliable alternate parts, receipt of defective parts, an
increase in the pricing of such parts, or our inability to obtain reduced pricing from our
suppliers in response to competitive pressures.
Our failure to obtain or maintain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals could hurt our
ability to distribute and market our system.
Our system is classified as a medical device and we are subject to regulation and supervision
by the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries. Medical devices
are also subject to ongoing controls and regulations, including inspections, compliance with
established manufacturing practices, device-tracking, record-keeping, advertising, labeling,
packaging, and compliance with other standards. Comparable agencies in certain states may also
regulate our activities. The process of complying with such regulations with respect to current and
new products can be costly and time-consuming and involves compliance by third-party suppliers over
which we have no control.
Although we have been granted 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA for our imaging system
product, we have made certain technological changes since this clearance was obtained and there is
no assurance that the clearance will continue to be adequate. In addition, new functionalities for
our system, such as the quantification software, may require additional approvals. Delays in
obtaining approvals and clearances, or recalls related to our system could have material adverse
effects on us and our operations. We are also subject to certain FDA regulations governing
defective products and complaints about our system. The FDA has the authority to inspect our
facilities and may have the authority to inspect certain third-party suppliers facilities to
ensure compliance with FDA regulations. Other regulations include Medical Device Reporting,
requiring reports to the FDA regarding certain types of adverse events involving our products, and
the FDAs general prohibition against promoting products for unapproved (off-label) uses. Failure
to comply with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
Our manufacturing operations are required to comply with applicable Quality System Regulation
(QSR) of the FDA, which incorporate the Good Manufacturing Practices regulations. QSR addresses the
design controls, methods, facilities, and quality assurance controls used in manufacturing,
packing, storing, and installing medical devices. Prior to shipment of our system, we will need to
obtain the approval of the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) and there is no assurance that we
will obtain UL approval in time for the sale of our first product, if at all. In addition, certain
international markets have quality assurance and manufacturing requirements that may be more or
less rigorous than those in the United States. Furthermore, any FDA regulations now governing our
system are subject to change at any time, which may cause delays and could have material adverse
effects on our operations.
11
We must also comply with numerous other federal, state, and local laws relating to such
matters as safe working conditions, environmental protection, industrial safety, and hazardous
substance disposal. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations in the
future, and lack of compliance could have material adverse effects on our operations.
If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology, or are blocked by a competitors patent, we
may not be able to compete effectively.
Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and enforce patent protection for our
system and our future products, both in the United States and other countries, and operate without
infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. The scope and extent of patent protection for
our system is uncertain and frequently involves complex legal and factual questions. We cannot
predict the breadth of claims that will be allowed and issued in patents related to medical device
applications. Once such patents have issued, we cannot predict how the claims will be construed or
enforced.
We have 23 issued US patents and have related international patent filings in Western Europe
and Japan. We rely on these patents and other intellectual-property protection to prevent our
competitors from developing, manufacturing, and marketing products based on our technology. Our
patents may not be enforceable and they may not afford us protection against competitors,
especially since there is a lengthy lead-time between when a patent application is filed and when
it is issued. Because of this, we may infringe on intellectual-property rights of others without
being aware of the infringement. If a patent holder believes that our system infringes on their
patent, they may sue us even if we have received patent protection for our technology. If another
party claims we are infringing their technology, we could face a number of issues, including the
following:
|
|
defending a lawsuit, which is very expensive and time consuming;
|
|
|
paying a large sum for damages, if we are found to be infringing;
|
|
|
being prohibited from selling or licensing our system until we obtain a license from the
patent holder, who may refuse to grant us a license or will only agree to do so on
unfavorable terms, including the payment of substantial royalties or the grant of
cross-licenses to our patents; and
|
|
|
redesigning our system so it does not infringe on the patent holders technology if we are
unable to obtain a license, which, if even possible, may require additional capital and would
delay commercialization.
|
The coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly narrowed before a patent is
issued, both in the United States and other countries. We do not know whether any of our pending or
future patent applications will result in the issuance of patents. To the extent patents have been
issued or will be issued, we do not know whether these patents will be subjected to further
proceedings limiting their scope, will provide significant proprietary protection or competitive
advantage, or will be circumvented or invalidated. Furthermore, patents already issued to us, or
patents that may issue on our pending applications, may become subject to dispute, including
interference proceedings in the United States to determine priority of invention or opposition
proceedings in foreign countries contesting the validity of issued patents.
We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how to develop and maintain our competitive
position. Some of our current or former employees, consultants or scientific advisors, or
collaborators, may unintentionally or willfully disclose our confidential information to
competitors or use our proprietary technology for their own benefit. Furthermore, enforcing a claim
alleging the infringement of our trade secrets or proprietary know-how would be expensive and
difficult to prove, making the outcome uncertain. Our competitors may also independently develop
equivalent knowledge, methods, and know-how or gain access to our proprietary information through
some other means.
12
There is no assurance that our system will be reimbursed under existing reimbursement codes and any
changes in reimbursement procedures by domestic and international payors may adversely impact our
ability to market and sell our system.
The business and financial condition of medical device companies, including us, will continue
to be affected by the efforts of third-party payors rules, government health administration
authorities, private health insurance, and other organizations to contain or reduce the cost of
health care. The federal government has in the past and may in the future consider, and certain
state and local as well as a number of foreign governments are considering or have adopted, health
care policies intended to curb rising health care costs. Such policies include rationing of
government-funded reimbursement for health care services and imposing price controls upon providers
of medical products and services. We cannot predict what health care reform legislation or
regulation, if any, will be enacted in the United States or elsewhere. Significant changes in the
health care systems in the United States or elsewhere are likely to have a significant impact over
time on the manner in which we conduct our business. Such changes could have a material adverse
effect on us.
In addition, the federal government regulates reimbursement of fees for certain diagnostic
examinations and capital equipment acquisition costs connected with services to Medicare
beneficiaries. Although we currently anticipate that our system will be reimbursed under existing
reimbursement codes, there is no assurance that the existing reimbursement codes will apply to our
products. If they do not, the resulting inability of health care providers to obtain reimbursement
for our products will materially adversely impact our ability to market and sell our system. In
addition, certain legislation has limited Medicare reimbursement for diagnostic examinations, and
other third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price and cost-effectiveness of medical
products and services. These policies may have the effect of limiting the availability of
reimbursement for procedures, and as a result may inhibit or reduce demand by health care providers
for products in the markets in which we compete. We cannot predict what effect the policies of
government entities and other third party payors will have on future sales of our system, and there
can be no assurance that such policies would not have an adverse impact on our operations.
If we become subject to product-liability claims, the damages may exceed our insurance coverage.
Our business exposes us to potential product-liability claims, product recalls, and associated
adverse publicity, which are inherent in the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of medical devices,
and as such we may face substantial liability to patients or medical personnel for damages
resulting from the faulty design or manufacture of our system. A product-liability claim could
materially adversely affect our business or financial condition.
If we do not provide quality customer service, we would lose customers and our operating results
would suffer.
Our ability to provide superior customer service to our customers, health care professionals
and educators is critical. To effectively compete, we must build strong brand awareness among our
customers, much of which is based upon personal referrals. In order to gain these referrals, we
must provide customer service representatives who are able and available to provide our customers
with answers to questions regarding our system. This will require us to build and maintain customer
service operations. We may rely on a third-party provider to support new customers, but no
assurance is made that we will do so.
Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and can
exercise significant influence.
Our executive officers and directors and their affiliates own approximately 64.68% of our
issued and outstanding common stock as set forth in Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management below. Accordingly, these stockholders will likely be able to
determine the composition of a majority of our Board, retain the voting power to approve certain
matters requiring stockholder approval, and continue to have significant influence over our
affairs. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in our control. See Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management for
further information about the ownership of our common stock by our executive officers, directors,
and principal stockholders.
13
We have not paid out cash dividends in the past and may not do so in the future.
Our policy is to retain any earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of our
business and, accordingly, we have paid no cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate
doing so in the future.
If we require future capital, we may not be able to secure additional funding in order to expand
our operations and develop new products.
We may seek additional funds from public and private stock offerings, borrowings under bank or
lease lines of credit, or other sources. This additional financing may not be available on a timely
basis on terms acceptable to us, or at all. The Financing may be dilutive to stockholders or may
require us to grant a lender a security interest in our assets. The amount of money we will need
will depend on many factors, including:
|
|
revenues generated by sales of our system and our future products, if any;
|
|
|
expenses we incur in developing and selling our system;
|
|
|
the commercial success of our research and development efforts; and
|
|
|
the emergence of competing technological developments.
|
If adequate funds are not available, we may have to delay development or commercialization of
our system or license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we
would otherwise seek to commercialize. We also may have to reduce marketing, customer support, or
other resources devoted to our system. Any of these results would materially harm our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
There is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for our common stock.
There currently is no market for our common stock. Further, although our common stock may be
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board in the future, the trading of our common stock may be extremely
sporadic. For example, several days may pass before any shares may be traded. There can be no
assurance that a more active market for our common stock will develop. Accordingly, investors must
assume they may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in our common stock for an
indefinite period of time.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive.
We are a public reporting company in the U.S. and, accordingly, subject to the information and
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securities laws, and the compliance
obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly
reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to
stockholders are significant.
Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be time
consuming, difficult, and costly.
Our management team does not have experience as officers of a publicly-traded company, and we
have never operated as a publicly-traded company. We will incur significant time and expense in
developing and implementing the internal controls and reporting procedures required by
Sarbanes-Oxley. We will need to hire experts in financial reporting, to include developing and
implementing sound internal control procedures in order to comply with numerous financial reporting
requirements. If we are unable to comply with Sarbanes-Oxleys internal controls and disclosure
contracts requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant attestations or
certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain. If management
or our auditors determine that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting, we could incur additional costs and suffer adverse publicity and other consequences of
any such determination.
When the registration statement becomes effective, there will be a significant number of shares of
our common stock eligible for sale, which could depress the market price of such stock.
14
Following the effective date of the registration statement, a large number of shares of our
common stock will become available for sale in the public market, which could harm the market price
of the stock. Further, certain shares may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant
to Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect as well.
We cannot assure you that, even following the Merger, our common stock will become liquid or that
it will be listed on a securities exchange.
We do not meet the initial listing standards of the New York Stock exchange, the Nasdaq Global
Market, or other similar exchanges. Until our common stock is listed on an exchange, we expect that
our common stock will be eligible to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter
quotation system, or in the pink sheets. In those venues, however, an investor may have
difficulty in obtaining accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In
addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would
be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established
customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from
recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also
increase the difficulty for us raise additional capital.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes to those statements included in this 8-K other previous SEC filings. This
discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below, as well as
those discussed elsewhere in this 8-K, including those factors discussed under the heading Risk
Factors. See Forward Looking Statements.
Overview
On December 27, 2007, the Merger was completed, and the business of NovaRay was adopted as our
business. As such, the following Management Discussion is focused on the current and historical
operations of NovaRay, and excludes the prior operations of Vision.
We were incorporated in June 2005, and shortly thereafter the assets along with the related
underlying debt of NexRay were contributed to us in connection with the foreclosure proceedings by
certain lenders of NexRay that are currently investors in NovaRay. See NexRay Transaction. We
have incurred ongoing losses totaling approximately $4,823,000 from operations since our date of
inception (June 7, 2005) through September 30, 2007. To date, substantially all of our expenditures
have been related to administration, continuing intellectual property maintenance, and support of
the cardiac catheterization imaging system technology. Development and manufacturing expenses are
anticipated to increase in future years for personnel and equipment cost required for the product
introduction and the start-up of our manufacturing efforts. We expect to incur selling, general,
and administrative expenses in connection with the development of our sales and marketing
organization, the expansion of our facilities and staff, and the commercial launch of our system.
We have achieved no revenues to date. Our goal is to begin commercial sales for our cardiac
catheterization imaging system in the first half of 2009. We believe that the success of early
placements will be critical to gathering strong customer references for future sales. Our efforts
are subject to the risks inherent in the development of innovative products, including the risk
that the product will be found to be ineffective, or that the product, if effective, will be
difficult to manufacture on a large scale, or will be uneconomical to market. No assurance can be
given that we will be able to produce our system in commercial quantities at acceptable costs or
without delays, or that we will be able to market our system successfully. Any failure of the
device to achieve acceptable market performance or the identification of technical deficiencies
could lead to delays in the introduction and market acceptance of the product and could jeopardize
the viability of our company. In addition, we will need to obtain additional regulatory approvals
before our system can be sold in a number of significant international markets, and we may
encounter delays in obtaining such approvals or other regulatory delays to the commercial
productions of our system. See Risk Factors.
15
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon
our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities.
Currently, our only estimate is that of depreciation expense. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on other assumptions that we believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Going Concern
Our audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, for the period
from inception (June 7, 2005) to December 31, 2005, and from inception (June 7, 2005) to December
31, 2006 contain a going concern opinion from our auditors as a result of ongoing losses from
operations and insufficient cash to meet operating requirements for the next twelve months.
These financial statements have been presented on a basis that contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and assumes we will
continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $4,823,000
and cash equivalents of $80,105 as of that date. Based on these circumstances and at September 30,
2007, we believe that we did not have adequate liquidity to meet our various cash needs for the
year ending December 31, 2007 and beyond, unless we were subsequently able to obtain additional
cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. On December 27, 2007, we completed the
Financing and received gross proceeds in excess of $10 million.
These conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as
of the date of such financial statements. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments
to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Prepaid expenses
This balance consists primarily of fees paid to advisors in preparation for the contemplated
reverse merger into a public shell in conjunction with the raising of additional equity. On the
basis of the completion of the Merger and the Financing, this balance will be charged to additional
paid in capital by the successor company.
Accrued Liabilities
We have incurred interest expense on the various debt instruments issued by us, which was
converted into equity instruments at the time of the completion of the Financing.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
At September 30, 2007, fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and
convertible promissory notes approximate their carrying amount due to the short period of time to
maturity.
Property and equipment
We record property and equipment at cost and calculate depreciation using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is estimated to be three years.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the expected useful life
of the assets, are expensed to operations while major repairs are capitalized. The gain or loss on
disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets, and, if any, is
recognized in the statements of operations.
16
Simultaneous with our incorporation, one of our shareholders assigned to us computer hardware,
software, equipment, and substantial intellectual property that will be utilized in the design of
our principal product. In conjunction with the assignment, we assumed a series of promissory notes
held by certain of our shareholders and other financial institutions.
Stock-based compensation
As of January 1, 2006, SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment
, became effective for all companies
and addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the
ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB No. 25, and generally
requires instead that such transactions be accounted and recognized in the statement of operations
based on their fair value. We have never implemented a stock option plan nor have we ever issued
stock in lieu of compensation to anyone. As such, this pronouncement has no impact on these
financial statements but its provisions will apply to the extent we engage in such activities in
the future.
Results of Operations (Unaudited)
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
Expenses for the nine months ended September, 2007 were approximately $879,000. The expenses
consist primarily of general and administrative expenses for maintaining minimal operation, legal
expenses related to patents, and other consulting costs related to supporting our future growth.
Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $4,000 and was
primarily the result of loans extended to stockholders for their subscriptions to purchase our
common stock. Interest expense of approximately $194,000 was the result of loans incurred by us to
fund our working capital requirements.
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately $1,069,000.
Year Ended December 31, 2006
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were approximately $986,000. These expenses were
primarily attributable to general and administrative expenses, consisting of legal expenses related
to patents and other consulting costs related to supporting our growth.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $1,000. We also
realized a one time gain of $80,000 as the result of selling an internet domain name we had
registered to a third party. Interest expense of approximately $246,000 was the result of loans
incurred by us to fund our working capital requirements.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $1,151,000.
From Date of Inception June 7, 2005 to December 31, 2005
Expenses for the seven months ended December 31, 2005 were approximately $2,496,000. These
expenses were primarily attributable to write down of certain acquired assets and general
administrative expenses, consisting of legal expenses related to patents and other consulting costs
related to supporting our growth. Additionally, we recognized the impairment of the carrying value
of certain assets acquired by us from NexRay.
Interest income for the seven months ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $67. Interest
expense of approximately $107,000 was the result of loans incurred by us to fund our working
capital requirements.
Net loss for the seven months ended December 31, 2005 was approximately $2,604,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our need for funds will increase from period to period as we increase the scope of our
development, marketing, and manufacturing activities. From inception through September 30, 2007, we
have funded this need with approximately $5 million, which we obtained through private placements
of equity securities and issuance of short and long term debt instruments. On October 25, 2006, we
closed an equity financing totaling approximately $1.5 million, $1.150 million of which was the
conversion of long-term debt into shares of NovaRay Series A Preferred Stock.
As of September 30, 2007, our principal source of liquidity included cash and short-term
investments of approximately $80,000.
We plan to finance our capital needs principally from the net proceeds of the sale of our
common and preferred stock and our existing capital resources. Our working capital and capital
requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the level of resources that we devote to
the development, clinical, regulatory, and marketing aspects of our product. We anticipate
incurring expenses of approximately $11.5 million for development and manufacturing startup and
approximately $3 million for marketing, sales, regulatory and general administrative expenses over
the next 12 months. This includes hiring 17 new employees. As we expand from the development stage,
we expect to expand our production facilities or establish alternate facilities and to hire
additional marketing, and sales personnel. We believe that the financial resources available,
including our current working capital, will be sufficient to finance our planned operations and
capital expenditures through 2008. We further believe that the level of financial resources
available to us is an important competitive factor and, accordingly, we may seek to raise
additional capital through public or private equity or debt financing(s) in the future. Failure to
raise such capital may adversely affect our operations and prospects.
Item 3. Description of Property.
Our principal facility is located in an approximately 12,000 square foot building in Palo
Alto, California. We lease this facility pursuant to a lease expiring on January 30, 2008. We are
in negotiations to obtain a new office and research facility upon the expiration of our existing
lease.
Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our
common stock, as of December 27, 2007 and after giving effect to the Merger or our sale of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and the Warrants, by:
|
|
|
each beneficial owner of 5% or more of the currently outstanding shares of our common
stock;
|
|
|
|
|
each of our directors;
|
|
|
|
|
each of our executive officers; and
|
|
|
|
|
all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
|
In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership
of that person, shares of our common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that
are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 27, 2007 are deemed
outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other
person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to this table and subject to
applicable community property laws, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment
power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such persons name. Except as otherwise
indicated, the address of each of the persons in this table is c/o NovaRay Medical, Inc., 1850
Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California 94303.
Each stockholders percentage ownership is based on 9,767,853 shares of our common stock
outstanding as of December 27, 2007.

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
NexRay Transaction
In June 2005, substantially all of our assets were acquired from NexRay, a privately held
development stage company. NexRay developed the substantial portion of our current cardiac
catheterization imaging system. From NexRays inception in July 1993 through June 2005, NexRay
raised approximately $80 million, principally through the issuance of preferred stock and
convertible notes to various investors. In May 2004, a significant investor of NexRay determined
that it would not provide further financing necessary to fund NexRays continued operations.
Certain other investors of NexRay entered into negotiations to continue funding NexRay without the
participation of this investor under terms agreeable to this non-participating investor. The
investors were ultimately unable to reach an agreement and in August 2004, NexRay filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection. The total outstanding debt of NexRay was approximately $1 million in
trade debt and $10 million in convertible notes to investors. Approximately $1 million of these
loans were secured by substantially all of the assets of NexRay. In early April 2005 , a secured
lenders motion for relief from stay was granted. In June 2005, all the assets of NexRay were
acquired by this secured lender and NexRay converted to Chapter 7 status. In June 2005, we
incorporated. Pursuant to an Assignment and Consent Agreement, all of the former assets of NexRay
were contributed to us, subject to the secured NexRay loans and to the lien and security interests
established in connection with the September 20, 2004 Order Authorizing Post-Petition Financing of
approximately $1.2 million on a Secured Basis of United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of California. Concurrent with this contribution of assets and the forgiveness of certain
note preference, these NexRay investors were issued in aggregate 1,683,571 shares
23
(Pre-Merger share figure) of NovaRay common stock. As of September 30, 2007, there remained
approximately $1,857,193 in NovaRay debt outstanding.
Triple Ring Technologies, Inc.
We have entered into an agreement with Triple Ring to perform ongoing product development
work, final assembly and test for the cardiac imaging system (the Professional Services
Agreement). As partial consideration for these services, we agreed to issue a warrant to Triple
Ring to purchase 1,332,000 shares of NovaRay common stock pursuant to a Warrant to Purchase Shares
of NovaRay, Inc. dated as of December 19, 2007. The warrant will not be exercisable until the
acceptance by NovaRay of the deliverables from Triple Ring in accordance with the terms of the
Professional Services Agreement. The exercise price for the warrant is established based on the

Item 8. Description of Securities.
We currently have authorized capital of 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 are
designated as common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock), and 10,000,000 shares
are preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Preferred Stock), all of which are
currently designated as our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Following completion of the
Merger and the initial closing of the Financing, the Company has outstanding 9,767,853 shares of
Common Stock and 4,946,888 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible at
the current rate of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred for one share of our Common Stock.
Additionally, there are outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible
into, an aggregate of up to 2,248,960 shares of our Common Stock (exclusive of those shares of our
Common Stock issuable on conversion of the 4,946,888 shares of outstanding Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock or on the exercise and subsequent conversion of the Series J Warrant to purchase up
to 2,309,469 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock). A holder of Series A Warrants may not
exercise a Series A Warrant if the number of shares of our Common Stock to be issued upon such
exercise, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock
then owned by such holder and its affiliates,
would result in such holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of our Common Stock (the Series A Warrant Exercise Restriction); provided, that a holder
of a Series A Warrant may, on not less than sixty-one (61) days notice to us (the Series A Warrant
Waiver Notice), terminate the Series A Warrant Exercise Restriction with regard to any or all
shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Series A Warrant. The sixty-one (61) day
notice period does not apply during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the expiration date of a
Series A Warrant, so that the Series A Warrant Exercise Restriction may be immediately terminated on
giving the Series A Warrant Waiver Notice to us during the last sixty-one (61) days of the term of
a Series A Warrant. In addition, the Series J-A Warrant and the warrant issued to Triple Ring may become
exercisable, for the issuance of up to an additional 769,823 shares and 1,332,000 shares of our
Common Stock, respectively. A holder of the Series J-A Warrant may not exercise the Series J-A Warrant if the number
of shares of our Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise, when aggregated with all other
shares of our Common Stock then owned by such holder and its affiliates, would result in such
holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of our Common Stock (the Series J-A Warrant Exercise Restriction); provided, that a holder
of the Series J-A Warrant may, on not less than sixty-one (61) days notice to us (the Series J-A
Warrant Waiver Notice), terminate the Series J-A Warrant Exercise Restriction with regard to any
or all shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series J-A Warrant. The sixty-one
(61) day notice period does not apply during the sixty-one (61) day period prior to the expiration
date of the Series J-A Warrant, so that the Series J-A Warrant Exercise Restriction may be
immediately terminated on giving the Series J-A Warrant Waiver Notice to us during the last
sixty-one (61) days of the term of the Series J-A Warrant.
Common Stock
Holders of shares of our Common Stock shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share held
at all stockholders meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors. Our Common
Stock does not have cumulative voting rights. No holder of shares of stock of any class shall be
entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase or receive any part of any new or
additional issue of shares of stock of any class, or of securities convertible into shares of stock
of any class, whether now hereafter authorized or whether issued for money, for consideration other
than money, or by way of dividend.
26
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company filed a Certificate of Designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
with the Secretary of State of Delaware on December 27, 2007. The following provides only a summary
of certain of the terms of the Companys Preferred Stock.
Voluntary Conversion
. At any time on or after the date of the initial issuance of our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Issuance Date), the holder of any such shares of our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, at such holders option, subject to the limitations set
forth in the following paragraph, elect to convert (a Voluntary Conversion) all or any portion of
the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such person into a number of fully
paid and nonassessable shares of our Common Stock for each such share of our Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, 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 our Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock.
At no time may a holder of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock convert shares of our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if the number of shares of our Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock
owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of our Common Stock
which would result in such holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock (the Conversion Restriction);
provided, however, a holder of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may provide the Company
with sixty-one (61) days notice (the Series A Convertible Preferred Waiver Notice) that such
holder would like to waive this restriction with regard to any or all shares of our Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Conversion Restriction
will be of no force or effect with regard to those shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock referenced in the Series A Convertible Preferred Waiver Notice.
In the event of a reclassification, capital reorganization or other similar change in the
outstanding shares of our Common Stock, our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will become
convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including
cash) that the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have received if our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into our Common Stock immediately prior to
such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change. Upon our issuance of certain shares
of our Common Stock at prices less than $2.67 per share, the conversion rate of the Series A
Convertible Preferred is subject to upward adjustment on the basis of a broadly based weighted
average so as to cause a share of outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred to be potentially
convertible into more than one share of Common Stock. This weighted average formula takes into
account the number of then outstanding shares and the relative dilution to such shares at the $2.67
value per share by the number of shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents issued at the
price below $2.67 per share.
Voting
. Except as otherwise required by Delaware law and the following paragraph, our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. Our Common Stock into which our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same
voting rights as other issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
So long as any shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the
affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a
meeting, of the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of our Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (in addition to any other corporate approvals then required to effect
such action), shall be required (a) for any change to the Certificate of Designation of the
Relative Rights and Preferences of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Companys
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which would amend, alter, change or repeal any of
the powers, designations, preferences and rights of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or (b)
for the issuance of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and certain
purchasers of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Dividends
. If declared by the Company, dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be on a pro rata basis with all other equity securities of the Company ranking pari
passu with our Common Stock as to the payment
27
of dividends before any Distribution (as defined below) shall be paid on, or declared and set apart
for all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms do not
rank senior to our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Junior Stock). So long as any shares of
our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not declare, pay or set
apart for payment any dividend or make any Distribution on any Junior Stock (other than dividends
or Distributions payable in additional shares of Junior Stock), unless at the time of such dividend
or Distribution the Company shall have paid all accrued and unpaid dividends on the outstanding
shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event of a voluntary conversion, all
accrued and unpaid dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being converted shall be,
at the option of the Company, either payable in cash on the date of the voluntary conversion, or
converted into additional shares of our Common Stock at the then-applicable conversion price for
our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to our Common Stock. Distribution shall mean shall mean
the transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or otherwise,
payable other than in shares of our Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, or the
purchase or redemption of shares of the Company (other than repurchases of our Common Stock held by
employees or consultants of the Company upon termination of their employment or services pursuant
to agreements providing for such repurchase or upon the cashless exercise of options held by
employees or consultants) for cash or property.
Liquidation
. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of
the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of our Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company
available for Distribution to its stockholders, an amount per share of our Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock equal to the amount distributable with respect to that number of shares of our
Common Stock into which one share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is then convertible,
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (collectively, the Series A Liquidation Preference
Amount) before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any other
Junior Stock. If the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the Series A
Liquidation Preference Amount payable to the holders of outstanding shares of our Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and the corresponding pari passu Distribution with respect to our
Common Stock and any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock ranking pari passu, as
to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
and our Common Stock, then all of said assets will be distributed among the holders of our Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, our Common Stock and the other classes of stock ranking pari passu
with our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and our Common Stock, if any, ratably in accordance
with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon
were paid in full. The liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding fractional share of our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the
liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding share of our Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock. All payments for which this paragraph provides shall be in cash, property (valued at its
fair market value as determined by an independent appraiser reasonably acceptable to the holders of
a majority of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof; provided,
however, that no cash shall be paid to holders of Junior Stock unless each holder of the
outstanding shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been paid in cash the full
Series A Liquidation Preference Amount to which such holder is entitled as provided herein. A
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company
of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting shares of
the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction or
series of transactions is disposed of or conveyed, shall be deemed to be a liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up within the meaning of this paragraph and no consolidation, merger, sale
of assets or sale or disposition of the outstanding shares shall result which is inconsistent with
this paragraph. The Company shall provide written notice of any, voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, stating a payment date and
the place where the distributable amounts shall be payable, by mail, postage prepaid, no less than
twenty (20) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of our Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of
the Company, which notice shall also state the amount per share of our Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock that will be paid or distributed on such redemption or liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, as the case may be.

PART II
Item 1. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrants Common Equity and Other Shareholder
Matters
Our shares of common stock are not registered under the securities laws of any state or other
jurisdiction, and accordingly there is no public trading market for our common stock. Outstanding
shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless
subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any
other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Compliance with the criteria for
securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is
extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the
elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and
subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.
Item 2. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be involved
in legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of business.
Item 4. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
See Item 3.02 of this Form 8-K for information relating to recent issuances of unregistered
securities.
Item 5. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and by-laws provide that we shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from
time to time, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a corporation
to provide indemnification to a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, including
attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such party acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful as determined in accordance with the statute, and except that with respect to
any action which results in a judgment against the person and in favor of the corporation the
corporation may not indemnify unless a court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to the indemnification. Section 145 further provides that indemnification shall be
provided if the party in question is successful on the merits.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the Securities Act) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the
SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered) we will, unless
in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

) shall convert, on a one-for-one basis, into common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of NovaRay (the

Conversion of NovaRay Common Stock

Section 1.10
, each share of
NovaRay Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than
shares of NovaRay Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub and Dissenting Shares (as defined in
Section 1.10
below)) will be automatically converted into and represent the right to
receive (subject to
Section 1.7(c)
) three (3) shares of Parent Common Stock, such
aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock being referred to in this Agreement as the
Merger
Consideration
. If any shares of NovaRay Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other
condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with

Common Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture
or other condition, and the certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock may
accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. In this regard the pro-forma capitalization of

Schedule 1.7(a)
.
(b)

. At the Effective Time, all warrants to purchase NovaRay Common Stock

Section 5.5
hereof.
3
(c)
Capital Stock of Merger Sub
. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of
Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into
and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the
Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such
shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving
Corporation.
(d)
Adjustments to Merger Consideration
. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to
reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend
(including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Parent Common Stock or NovaRay Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent
Common Stock or NovaRay Common Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date
hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
(e)
Fractional Shares
. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by
virtue of the Merger. In lieu thereof any fractional share will be rounded to the nearest whole
share of Parent Common Stock (with 0.5 being rounded up).
(f)
Withholding
. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger
Consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder of NovaRay Common Stock or NovaRay
Warrants pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent is required to deduct or withhold
therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code
) or under any
provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or
withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid
to the holder of NovaRay Common Stock or NovaRay Warrants to whom such amounts would otherwise
have been paid.
1.8.
Rights of Holders of NovaRay Capital Stock
.
(a) On and after the Effective Time and until surrendered for exchange, each outstanding
stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of NovaRay
Common Stock (except Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled or extinguished pursuant to
Section 1.10
) shall be deemed for all purposes, to evidence ownership of and to represent
the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of NovaRay Common Stock
shall have been converted pursuant to
Section 1.7(a)
above. The record holder of each
such outstanding certificate representing shares of NovaRay Common Stock, shall, after the
Effective Time, be entitled to vote the shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of
NovaRay Common Stock shall have been converted on any matters on which the holders of record of
the Parent Common Stock, as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time, shall be entitled to
vote. In any matters relating to such certificates of NovaRay Common Stock, Parent may rely
conclusively upon the record of stockholders maintained by NovaRay containing the names and
addresses of the holders of record of NovaRay Common Stock on the Effective Time.
(b) On and after the Effective Time, Parent shall reserve a sufficient number of authorized
but unissued shares of Parent Common Stock for issuance in connection
4
with (i) the conversion of NovaRay Common Stock into Parent Common Stock and (ii) the
exercise of all options, warrants, and any other instrument convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, shares of NovaRay Common Stock, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time.
1.9.
Procedure for Exchange of NovaRay Common Stock
.
(a) After the Effective Time, holders of certificates theretofore evidencing outstanding
shares of NovaRay Common Stock (except Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled or extinguished
pursuant to
Section 1.10
), upon surrender of such certificates to the transfer agent for
Parent Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive certificates representing the number of whole
shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of NovaRay Common Stock theretofore represented
by the certificates so surrendered shall have been converted as provided in
Section
1.7(a)
hereof. Parent shall not be obligated to deliver the Merger Consideration to which
any former holder of shares of NovaRay Common Stock is entitled until such holder surrenders the
certificate or certificates representing such shares (subject to
Section 1.9(e)
below).
Upon surrender, each certificate evidencing NovaRay Common Stock shall be cancelled. If there is
a transfer of NovaRay Common Stock ownership which is not registered in the transfer records of
NovaRay, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock may be
issued to a person other than the person in whose name the certificate so surrendered is
registered if: (x) upon presentation to the Secretary of Parent, such certificate shall be
properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (y) the person requesting such
certificate shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of
Parent Common Stock to a person other than the registered holder of such certificate or establish
to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable, and
(z) the issuance of such Parent Common Stock shall not, in the sole discretion of Parent, violate
the requirements of the Regulation D safe harbor of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act
) with respect to the private placement of Parent Common Stock that will
result from the Merger.

business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business
conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except for any

Section 2.3
hereof).
2.2.
Authorization; Enforcement
. NovaRay has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to consummate the Merger in accordance with
the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by NovaRay, and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly and validly authorized
by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of NovaRay or its Board
of Directors or stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
NovaRay. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of NovaRay enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors rights and remedies
or by other equitable principles of general application.

agreement granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its

that would prohibit or otherwise impair the ability of NovaRay to perform any of its obligations

NovaRay Material Adverse Effect.

any of its subsidiaries are bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant
to clauses (i) and (iv) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,

Outside Date
);
provided, however

Merger, then in addition to the other remedies provided herein, the non-defaulting party (the
Non-Defaulting Party
) shall be entitled to seek and obtain money damages from the
Defaulting Party, or may seek to obtain an order of specific performance thereof against the
Defaulting Party from a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Non-Defaulting Party
seeking such protection must file its request with such court within forty-five (45) days after it

of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension

right.

Exhibit 3.4
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF THE RELATIVE RIGHTS AND
PREFERENCES
OF THE
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
NOVARAY MEDICAL, INC.
The undersigned, the Chief Executive Officer of NovaRay Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the
Company
), in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
does hereby certify that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the following resolution creating a series of
preferred stock, designated as Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, was duly adopted on December 27, 2007, as follows:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of
Directors of the Company by provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the
Certificate of Incorporation
), there hereby is created out of the shares of the Companys
preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, authorized in Article 5 of the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended (the
Preferred Stock
), a series of Preferred Stock of the
Company, to be named
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
, consisting of 10,000,000
shares, which series shall have the following designations, powers, preferences and relative and
other special rights and the following qualifications, limitations and restrictions:
1.
Designation and Rank
. The designation of such series of the Preferred Stock shall
be the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
Series A
Preferred Stock
). The maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be 10,000,000
shares. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu as to liquidation rights and other
matters to the Companys common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
Common Stock
),
and senior to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms
do not rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (
Junior Stock
). The Series A Preferred
Stock shall be subordinate to and rank junior to all indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter
outstanding.
2.
Payment of Dividends
. If declared by the Company, dividends on the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be on a pro rata basis with all other equity securities of the Company
ranking pari passu with the Common Stock as to the payment of dividends before any Distribution
shall be paid on, or declared and set apart for Junior Stock.
(a) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not
declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or make any Distribution on any Junior Stock
(other than dividends or Distributions payable in additional shares of Junior Stock), unless at the
time of such dividend or Distribution the Company shall have paid all accrued and unpaid dividends
on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(b) In the event of a voluntary conversion pursuant to
Section 5(a)
hereof, all
accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock being converted shall be, at the
1
option of the Company, either payable in cash on the Voluntary Conversion Date (as defined in
Section 5(a)(ii)(1)
hereof), or converted into additional shares of Common Stock at the
then-applicable Conversion Price.
(c) For purposes hereof, unless the context otherwise requires,
Distribution
shall
mean the transfer of cash or property without consideration, whether by way of dividend or
otherwise, payable other than in shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company,
or the purchase or redemption of shares of the Company (other than repurchases of Common Stock held
by employees or consultants of the Company upon termination of their employment or services
pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase or upon the cashless exercise of options held
by employees or consultants) for cash or property.
3.
Voting Rights
. Except as otherwise required by Delaware law and in
Section
7
hereof, the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. The Common Stock into which
the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible shall, upon issuance, have all of the same voting
rights as other issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
4.
Liquidation Preference
.
(a) In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for
Distribution to its stockholders, an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the
amount distributable with respect to that number of shares of the Common Stock into which one share
of the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon
(collectively, the
Series A Liquidation Preference Amount
) before any payment shall be
made or any assets distributed to the holders of any other Junior Stock. If the assets of the
Company are not sufficient to pay in full the Series A Liquidation Preference Amount payable to the
holders of outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding pari passu
Distribution with respect to the Common Stock and any series of Preferred Stock or any other class
of stock ranking pari passu, as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, with the
Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, then all of said assets will be distributed among the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock and the other classes of stock ranking pari
passu with the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, if any, ratably in accordance with the
respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in
full. The liquidation payment with respect to each outstanding fractional share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the liquidation payment with
respect to each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock. All payments for which this
Section 4(a)
provides shall be in cash, property (valued at its fair market value as
determined by an independent appraiser reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the
Series A Preferred Stock) or a combination thereof;
provided
,
however
, that no cash
shall be paid to holders of Junior Stock unless each holder of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock has been paid in cash the full Series A Liquidation Preference Amount to which such
holder is entitled as provided herein.
2
(b) A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or
corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the
effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
50% of the voting shares of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation
of such transaction or series of transactions is disposed of or conveyed, shall be deemed to be a
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up within the meaning of this
Section 4
, and no
consolidation, merger, sale of assets or sale or disposition of the outstanding shares shall result
which is inconsistent with this
Section 4
.
(c) The Company shall provide written notice of any, voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, stating a payment date and the place where
the distributable amounts shall be payable, by mail, postage prepaid, no less than twenty (20) days
prior to the payment date stated therein, to the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock
at their respective addresses as the same shall appear on the books of the Company, which notice
shall also state the amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock that will be paid or distributed
on such redemption or liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be.
5.
Conversion
. The holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following
conversion rights (the
Conversion Rights
):
(a)
Voluntary Conversion
.
(i) At any time on or after the date of the initial issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock
(the
Issuance Date
), the holder of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at
such holders option, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 6
herein, elect to
convert (a
Voluntary Conversion
) all or any portion of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock held by such person into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock for
each such share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of: (a) the Original Issue Price
(as defined in
Section 5(b)
below), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, divided
by (b) the Conversion Price (as defined in
Section 5(b)
below) in effect as of the date of
the delivery by such holder of its notice of election to convert. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, 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 A Preferred Stock.
(ii) The Voluntary Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be conducted in the following
manner:
(1)
Holders Delivery Requirements
. To convert Series A Preferred Stock into full
shares of Common Stock on any date (the
Voluntary Conversion Date
), the holder thereof
shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New
York time on such date, a copy of a fully executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto
as
Exhibit I
(the
Conversion Notice
), to the Company at its then principal
offices, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, and (B) surrender to a common carrier for delivery to
the Company as soon as practicable following such Voluntary Conversion Date the
3
original certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted (or
an indemnification undertaking with respect to such shares in the case of their loss, theft or
destruction) (the
Preferred Stock Certificates
) and the originally executed Conversion
Notice.
(2)
Companys Response
. Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile copy of a
Conversion Notice and the Preferred Stock Certificates, the Company shall immediately send, via
facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such holder. Upon receipt by the
Company of a copy of the fully executed Conversion Notice and the Preferred Stock Certificates, the
Company or its designated transfer agent (the
Transfer Agent
), as applicable, shall,
within three (3) business days following the date of receipt by the Company of the fully executed
Conversion Notice and Preferred Stock Certificates, issue and deliver to the Depository Trust
Company (
DTC
) account on the holders behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System (
DWAC
) as specified in the Conversion Notice, certificates registered in the name
of the holder or its designee, representing the number of shares of Common Stock to which the
holder shall be entitled. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its
Transfer Agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holders
behalf via DWAC if a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is effective. If the number of shares of
Preferred Stock represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) submitted for conversion is
greater than the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, then the Company
shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) business days after receipt of
the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) and at the Companys expense, issue and deliver to the holder a
new Preferred Stock Certificate representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock not
converted.
(3)
Dispute Resolution
. In the case of a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion, the Company shall cause its
Transfer Agent to promptly issue to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not
disputed and shall submit the arithmetic calculations to the holder via facsimile as soon as
possible, but in no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of such holders
Conversion Notice. If such holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the arithmetic
calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion within one
(1) business day of such disputed arithmetic calculation being submitted to the holder, then the
Company shall within one (1) business day thereafter submit via facsimile the disputed arithmetic
calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion to the
Companys independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the accountant to perform the
calculations and notify the Company and the holder of the results no later than seventy-two (72)
hours from the time it receives the disputed calculations. Such accountants calculation shall be
binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The reasonable expenses of such accountant in
making such determination shall be paid by the Company, in the event the holders calculation was
correct, or by the holder, in the event the Companys calculation was correct, or equally by the
Company and the holder in the event that neither the Companys or the holders calculation was
correct. The period of time in which the Company is required to effect conversions or redemptions
under this Certificate of Designation shall be tolled
4
with respect to the subject conversion or redemption pending resolution of any dispute by the
Company made in good faith and in accordance with this
Section 5(a)(ii)(3)
.
(4)
Record Holder
. The person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes
as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock from and after the Conversion Date.
(5)
Companys Failure to Timely Convert
. If within five (5) business days of the
Companys receipt of an executed copy of the Conversion Notice (so long as the applicable Preferred
Stock Certificates and original Conversion Notice are received by the Company on or before such
third business day) (the
Delivery Date
) the Transfer Agent shall fail to issue and
deliver to a holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such
holders conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or to issue a new Preferred Stock Certificate
representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to
Section 5(a)(ii)
(a
Conversion Failure
), in addition to all other
available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the
Purchase Agreement
) among the Company and the
initial holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay additional damages to such
holder on each business day after such third (3
rd
) business day that such conversion is
not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of
shares of Common Stock not issued to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to
Section
5(a)(ii)
and to which such holder is entitled and, in the event the Company has failed to
deliver a Preferred Stock Certificate to the holder on a timely basis pursuant to
Section
5(a)(ii)
, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate, as of the last possible date
which the Company could have issued such Preferred Stock Certificate to such holder without
violating
Section 5(a)(ii)
and (B) the price of the Common Stock on the last possible date
which the Company could have issued such Common Stock and such Preferred Stock Certificate, as the
case may be, to such holder without violating
Section 5(b)(2)
. If the Company fails to pay
the additional damages set forth in this
Section 5(a)(ii)(5)
within five (5) business days
of the date incurred, then such payment shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lower of 1.5%
per month (pro rated for partial months) or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law until such
payments are made.
(6)
Buy-In Rights
. In addition to any other rights available to the holders of Series
A Preferred Stock, if the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the holder a
certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the holder is
required by its broker to purchase (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 conversion of Series A Preferred Stock which the holder anticipated receiving upon such
conversion (a
Buy-In
), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the holder the amount by
which (x) the holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
5
Series A Preferred Stock that the Company was required to deliver to the holder in connection
with the conversion at issue times (B) the Conversion Price, as adjusted in accordance with the
provisions set forth herein, and (2) at the option of the holder, either reinstate the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion
was not honored or deliver to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. 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 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale
price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay to the holder $1,000. The holder shall
provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the holder in respect of the
Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Company. Nothing herein shall limit a holders 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 Companys failure to timely deliver certificates
representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock as required
pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b) (i)
Original Issue Price; Conversion Price
. The term
Original Issue
Price
shall mean $2.67, and the term
Conversion Price
shall mean an amount equal to
the Original Issue Price, subject to the adjustment under
Section 5(d)
hereof.
Notwithstanding any adjustment hereunder, at no time shall the Conversion Price be greater than the
Original Issue Price, except if it is adjusted pursuant to
Section 5(d)(i)
.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if during any period (a
Black-out
Period
), a holder of Series A Preferred Stock is unable to trade any Common Stock issued or
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately due to the postponement of
filing or delay or suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or because the Company
has otherwise informed such holder of Series A Preferred Stock that an existing prospectus cannot
be used at that time in the sale or transfer of such Common Stock (provided that such postponement,
delay, suspension or fact that the prospectus cannot be used is not due to factors solely within
the control of the holder of Series A Preferred Stock or due to the Company exercising its rights
under Section 3(n) of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)),
such holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the option but not the obligation on any
Conversion Date within ten (10) trading days following the expiration of the Black-out Period of
using the Conversion Price applicable on such Conversion Date or any Conversion Price selected by
such holder of Series A Preferred Stock that would have been applicable had such Conversion Date
been at any earlier time during the Black-out Period or within the ten (10) trading days
thereafter.

(d) Adjustments of Conversion Price.
(i)
Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations
. If the Company shall, at any time
or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a split of the outstanding
6
Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall,
at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this
Section 5(d)(i)
shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or
combination becomes effective.
(ii)
Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions
. If the Company shall, at any
time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other Distribution
payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased
as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the
close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a
fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record
date; and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record
date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
Distribution.
(iii)
Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions
. If the Company shall, at any
time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the
determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other Distribution
payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an
appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made
(by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock
receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had
their Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had
such holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the
Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any Distributions payable thereon during
such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this
Section 5(d)(iii)
with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock;
provided
,
however
, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such
dividend is not fully paid or if such Distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor,
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment
of such dividends or Distributions; and
provided
further
,
however
, that no
such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series A Preferred Stock simultaneously receive (i)
a dividend or other Distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of
shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event or (ii) a dividend or other
Distribution of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are convertible, as of the date of such
event, into such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of
7
additional shares of Common Stock being issued with respect to each share of Common Stock in
such dividend or Distribution.
(iv)
Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution
. If the Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock at any time or from time to time after the
Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of
stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a
stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in
Sections 5(d)(i)
,
(ii)
and
(iii)
, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets
provided for in
Section 5(d)(v))
, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the
Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price
or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right
thereafter to convert such share of Series A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of shares of
stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other
change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A
Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange,
substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(v)
Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of
Assets
.
If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization
of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or
Distributions provided for in
Section 5(d)(i)
,
(ii)
and
(iii)
, or a
reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in
Section 5(d)(iv)
), or
a deemed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company as provided in
Section 4(c)
above, (an
Organic Change
), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision
to the Conversion Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by
adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holder of each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such share of Series A Preferred Stock
into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any
successor corporation resulting from Organic Change that was received or is to that number of
shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible
immediately prior to giving effect to such Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this
Section 5(d)(v)
with
respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the Organic Change to
the end that the provisions of this
Section 5(d)(v)
(including any adjustment in the
Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an
equivalent manner as may be practicable as determined by the Companys Board of Directors.
(vi)
Additional Conversion Price Adjustments
. In addition to the foregoing, the
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(1) (A) If the Company shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock were first issued (the
Purchase Date
), any Additional Shares of Common Stock (as
defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance
8
of such Additional Shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
each such issuance shall (except as otherwise provided in this Section 5(d)(vi)) be adjusted
concurrently with such issuance to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and
deemed issued pursuant to Section 5(d)(vi)(1)(E) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number
of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such
issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding and deemed issued pursuant to Section 5(d)(vi)(1)(E)
immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock.
(B) No adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5(d)(vi) shall be made in
an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be
made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment made prior to one (1) year from the date of the event giving rise to the
adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of one (1) year from the date of the
event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided
for in Sections 5(d)(iv)(1)(E)(3) and 5(d)(iv)(1)(E)(4), no adjustment of such Conversion Price
pursuant to this Section 5(d)(iv) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(C) For purposes of this Section 5, in the case of the issuance of Additional Shares of Common
Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before
deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by this
Issuer for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(D) For purposes of this Section 5, in the case of the issuance of the Additional Shares of
Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than
cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Companys Board of Directors
irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the Purchase Date) of options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities (
Convertible Securities
), the following provisions shall apply
for all purposes of this Section 5:
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming
the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including, without limitation, the passage of
time, of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have
been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the
consideration (determined in the manner provided in Sections 5(d)(vi)(1)(C) and 5(d)(vi)(1)(D)), if
any, received by the
9
Company upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided
in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or
in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability,
including, without limitation, the passage of time, for any such convertible or exchangeable
securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible
or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a
consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by this Company for any such securities
and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or
accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by this
Issuer upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or
rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Sections
5(d)(vi)(1)(C) and 5(d)(i)(D)).
(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the
consideration payable to this Issuer upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of
or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a
change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price, to the extent in
any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to
reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common
Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to
convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or
exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed
using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be
recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or
exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or
rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or
rights related to such securities.
(5) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid
therefor pursuant to Sections 5(d)(vi)(1)(E)(1) and 5(d)(vi)(1)(E)(2) shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Section
5(d)(vi)(1)(E)(3) or 5(d)(vi)(1)(E)(4).
(2)
Termination
. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the right to any
adjustments to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 5(d)(vi) shall terminate upon the
occurrence of an Organic Change.
10
(3) For purposes of this Section 5,

shall mean any
shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section (5)(d)(vi)(E)) by

exercisable securities outstanding as of the Purchase Date or subsequently issued after the
Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 5;

acquisition of or by this Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or
exchange of stock or otherwise, each as approved by the Board of Directors of this Company;
(F) up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations, recapitalizations or the like) issued or issuable to persons or entities with which
this Company has business relationships provided such issuances are for other than primarily equity
financing purposes; or
(G) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with any transaction where such
securities so issued are excepted from the definition Additional Shares of Common Stock by the
affirmative vote of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(vii)
Record Date
. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common
Stock or any other Preferred Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common
Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.
(e)
No Impairment
. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of
Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
11
Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions
of this Section 5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.
In the event a holder shall elect to convert any shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided
herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or anyone
associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless (i) the
Company receives an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission prohibiting such conversion,
or (ii) an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and/or adjoining conversion of all or of
said shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been issued.
(f)
Certificates as to Adjustments
. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment
of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series
A Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Section 5
, the Company at its expense shall promptly
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment,
showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall,
upon written request of the holder of such affected Series A Preferred Stock, at any time, furnish
or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and
readjustments, the Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock
and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon
the conversion of a share of such Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an
increase or decrease of at least one percent of such adjusted amount.
(g)
Issue Taxes
. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding
federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of
shares of Common Stock on conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant hereto;
provided
,
however
, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer
taxes resulting from any transfer requested by any holder in connection with any such conversion.
(h)
Notices
. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by facsimile or five (5) business days following

to the holder of record at its address appearing on the books of the Company. The Company will give
written notice to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the date
on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or
Distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders
of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and in no event shall such notice be provided to such holder
prior to such information being made known to the public. The Company will also give written notice
to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any
Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up will take place and in no event shall such
notice be provided to such holder prior to such information being made known to the public.
12
(i)
Fractional Shares
. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder
would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round the number of shares to be issued upon
conversion up to the nearest whole number of shares. For such purpose, all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be aggregated, and any
resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash.
(j)
Reservation of Common Stock
. The Company shall, so long as any shares of Series A
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 A Preferred Stock,
such number of shares of Common Stock equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. The initial number of
shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Series A Preferred Stock and any increase in
the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder of
record at the time of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock or increase in the number of
reserved shares, as the case may be. In the event a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of
such holders shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata
portion of the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any shares of Common
Stock reserved and which remain allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
pro rata based on the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such holder.
(k)
Retirement of Series A Preferred Stock
. Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be deemed to have been effected on the Conversion Date. Upon conversion of only a portion of
the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for
conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder, at the expense of the Company, a
new certificate covering the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock representing the
unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered.
(l)
Regulatory Compliance
. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the
purpose of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock require registration or listing with or approval
of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state
law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon
conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as
possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
6.
Conversion Restriction
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Certificate of Designation, at no time may a holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock convert
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock
owned by such Holder and its affiliates at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which
would result in such Holder and its affiliates beneficially owning (as determined in
13
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of
4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock;
provided
,
however
,
that upon a holder of Series A Preferred Stock providing the Company with sixty-one (61) days
notice (the
Waiver Notice
) that such holder would like to waive
Section 6
of this
Certificate of Designation with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, this
Section 6
will be of no force or effect with
regard to those shares of Series A Preferred Stock referenced in the Waiver Notice.
7.
Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Stock
. The affirmative vote at a
meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting, of the holders of
not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (in addition to
any other corporate approvals then required to effect such action), shall be required (a) for any
change to this Certificate of Designation or the Companys Certificate of Incorporation which would
amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the
Series A Preferred Stock or (b) for the issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock other than
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(i)
Lost or Stolen Certificates
. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates
representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder to the Company and, in the case of
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), In the event
that the share certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted has been
lost or destroyed, the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock shall be required to execute an
agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in
connection with such certificates. On the date of the occurrence of an Automatic Conversion Event,
each holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of
the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, notwithstanding that the certificates representing
such shares of Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Company, that
notice from the Company shall not have been received by any holder of record of shares of Preferred
Stock, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually
delivered to such holder. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or after
such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred
Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which he shall be
entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable
as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, plus any declared and unpaid
dividends on the converted Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred
Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of
such shares of Common Stock on such date;
provided
,
however
, that if the conversion
is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act
or a merger, sale, financing, or liquidation of the Company or other event, the conversion may, at
the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing
of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, in which case the person(s) entitled to
receive the Common
14
Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have
converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such transaction or the
occurrence of such event.
(ii) The Company shall execute and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor
and date;
provided
,
however
, that the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue
Preferred Stock Certificates if the holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
8.
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 and
nothing herein shall limit a holders right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company

WHEREAS, Client desires Company to perform such work in furtherance of Clients business.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and intending to be
legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
|
|
Services, Compensation, Deliverables and Schedule.
The Companys services performed hereunder
(the Services), compensation (including provisions for payment thereof), deliverables (the
Deliverables) and schedule for the performance of Services shall be as set forth in Exhibit
A (the Statement of Work) and in any future Statements of Work entered into in writing by
the parties, which may be amended in writing from time to time (solely as provided in Section
26), or supplemented with subsequent estimates for Services to be rendered by the Company and
agreed to in writing by the Client, and which collectively are hereby incorporated by
reference. If there is any conflict between this Agreement, any Statement of Work (including
Exhibit A and any future Statements of Work entered into in writing by the parties), or any
attachments to the Statement of Work(s), the following priority shall apply in decreasing
order of priority: this Agreement, the Statement of Work, and attachments to the Statement of
Work. The document (or portion of a document) with a higher priority shall prevail and govern
over the lower-priority document (or portion of document) in the area of conflict.
|
|
|
|
Company shall, to the best of its ability, render the Services, in a timely and professional
manner consistent with the highest industry standards, by the
|
|
|

Proposal) and on pages 11 and 12 of the proposal attached hereto at Attachment 2 to Exhibit A
entitled Project Proposal ScanCath Dedicated Cardio Project (Phase II Proposal).
|
|
|
|

the Services (each a Project Manager, and the Client Project Manager and the Company
Project Manager). Client shall have the right to approve of Companys choice of Company
Project Manager. The parties expect to have a close and ongoing working relationship. To
facilitate this relationship, the Project Managers shall interact regularly and shall generally
serve as point people to ensure good communication between the parties.
|
|
|
|
Client shall have the right, upon request, to review the qualifications of such potential
employee or subcontractor. Company shall also obtain Client Project Managers prior written
approval for any purchases that require Client approval as provided in Exhibit A.
|
|
2.
|
|
Compliance with Law; FDA Filings.
Company shall use its good faith effort to comply with all
applicable laws and regulations in its performance of the Services under this Agreement. To
the extent provided for in the applicable Statement of Work, Company shall be responsible, on
Clients behalf, for submitting FDA filings, obtaining FDA approvals and communicating with
the FDA as part of the Services. Company shall provide copies to Client of all proposed
filings, applications and submissions to the FDA for review reasonably in advance to allow for
Clients comments and shall obtain the prior written approval of Clients Project Manager
prior to submission of such documents to the FDA. It is understood, however, that such
submissions to and communications with the FDA are at the sole direction and control of
Client. Client, and Client alone, shall be solely responsible for its own FDA regulatory
strategy, and determining the necessity or advisability of any particular filing or
communication.
|
|
3.

meets, to Clients reasonable satisfaction, the requirements specific to the particular
Deliverable set forth in such Statement of Work, including the specifications set forth on
pages 6-31 of the Phase I Proposal and on pages 6-8 of the Phase II Proposal (the
Specifications). If Client does not accept such Deliverable within such thirty (30) day
period, Client shall, at Companys request, explain what led to the rejection. Company shall
use commercially reasonable
|
|
|
efforts to correct any such problems in the Deliverable and to deliver a corrected Deliverable
to Client for its review and acceptance as set forth above in a timely manner. If Client does
not accept such corrected Deliverable, Client, in its sole discretion and in addition to any
other available remedies, may deem Companys failure to provide to Client an acceptable
Deliverable to be a default, and immediately terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 18.
Client may only reject a Deliverable if it is not reasonably within the acceptable parameters
that are defined in the Statement of Work.
|
|
4.
|
|
Term.
The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall continue in

Project). Prior to any such engagement or participation in any such Competitive Business for
any third party, Company shall notify Client and shall give Client a reasonable opportunity to
determine the degree of any such risk of unauthorized use or disclosure. Company acknowledges

|
14.
|

higher authority within each participating partys organization for resolution. Failing
resolution of conflicts at the organizational level, the Company and Client agree that any
remaining conflicts arising out of or relating to this Contract shall be submitted to
nonbinding mediation for up to thirty (30) days unless the Company and Client mutually agree
otherwise. If the dispute is not resolved during such time period through non-binding
mediation, then the parties may submit such matter to a court of competent jurisdiction for
resolution. Company recognizes that the covenants contained herein, including without
limitation in Sections 11 and 13, are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of Client, that Client would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of
such covenants, and that Companys breach or threatened breach of such covenants shall cause
Client irreparable harm and significant injury, the amount of which shall be extremely
difficult to estimate and ascertain, thus, making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate.
Therefore, Company agrees that Client shall be entitled to the issuance of injunctive relief
enjoining any breach or threatened breach of such covenants and for any other relief such
court deems appropriate. This right shall be in addition to any other remedy available to
Client at law or in equity.

17.
|
|
Merger.
This Agreement shall not be terminated by the merger or consolidation of the Client
or the Company into or with any other entity.
|
18.
|
|
Termination.
Client may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by
ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Company. In addition, either party may
terminate this Agreement immediately if the other party shall breach any material term or
provision of this Agreement and shall fail or refuse, within thirty (30) days after receipt of
written notice from the non-breaching party regarding such breach, to cure or remedy such
breach. Upon termination or expiration, to the extent permitted by law, Company shall
transfer to Client all permits, approvals, FDA filings and all other regulatory filings
related to the Services that Company holds (if any) as of the time of termination or
expiration. All amounts owed by Client to Company under the Statement of Work shall be paid
within seven (7) days of a termination by either party.
|
19.
|
|
Survival.
The parties agree that all rights and obligations under Sections 5-11, 13-16, and
18-30 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
|

All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, if any, successors, and
permitted assigns.
|
21.
|
|
Choice of Law; Venue.
The laws of the state of California shall govern the validity of this
Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation of the rights and services of
the parties hereto, without regard to conflicts of law principles. All disputes in connection
with this Agreement shall be submitted to a federal or state court located in Santa Clara
County, California. Each party hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of all
such courts and waives all defenses they may have to such personal jurisdiction and venue,
including without limitation the defense of forum

other shall not be construed as a continuing waiver.
|
24.
|
|
Assignment.
The Agreement is not assignable or transferable by Client or by the Company
without the written consent of Client and the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however that the consent of the Company shall not be required
for Client to assign this Agreement to an affiliate, or to its successor in interest in
connection with the transfer or sale to a third party successor of all or substantially all of
the business of Client to which this Agreement relates, whether by merger, sale of stock, sale
of assets or otherwise. Any purported assignment not in accordance with this Section 24 shall
be void.

Notices.
Any and all notices, demands, or other communications required or desired to be
given hereunder by any party shall be in writing and shall be validly given or made to another

2 Introduction
This proposal outlines Triple Ring Technologies approach to preparing a commercial-ready, improved
version of NovaRays X-ray fluoroscopy system for electrophysiology (EP) / Cardiac applications.
The project culminates in the delivery of a ScanCath EP / Cardiac instrument to NovaRays first
customer. The proposed system architecture can be extended to both Cardiac and Vascular
fluoroscopy applications. A companion proposal,
NOV.ScanCath.Dedicated.Cardio.prop.06.16
,
discusses the activities required to deliver a ScanCath Dedicated Cardio instrument using the
system architecture developed here.
2.1 Scope
This proposal describes activities required to update NovaRays existing fluoroscopy instrument
for commercial use as the ScanCath EP / Cardiac instrument. Our design implementation will make
accommodations for subsequent versions of the ScanCath instrument, wherever possible. In
fulfilling this proposal we will:

3 Team Experience
Triple Ring is an engineering services firm focused on commercializing novel medical devices and
instrumentation. We have an extensive track record in the development of medical and biological
instrumentation, as well as sensor-based biotechnology and industrial systems. Projects for
clients have included bioimpedance instrumentation for catheter tracking and cell identification,
x-ray tubes for radiation therapy, x-ray imaging systems for whole-body CT and electrophysiology,
and detector systems for scanning electron microscopy. In-house development projects have included
an optical imaging system for sentinel node biopsy, state-of-the-art detectors for next-generation
x-ray and SPECT applications, and imaging systems for tracking a new generation of biomarkers.
Triple Ring is intimately familiar with the NovaRay technology, as numerous team members
participated in the development efforts at Cardiac Mariners and NexRay. This allows us to restart
development with minimal delay and expense. With this proposal we plan to use in-house resources
already familiar with the NovaRay system or employ or contract with former Cardiac Mariners and
NexRay employees whenever possible.

6.3 System Verification and Validation
We will integrate the subsystems into complete Cardio fluoroscopy instruments and verify their
performance against the design specifications. The master validation plan,
NOV.VVPL.Rev1,
describes our approach to a comprehensive validation plan. It defines the process and
activities for validating:
[***]
Figure 19: Validation Process
6.4 Risk Management
TRT shall use its good faith efforts to follow the guidelines established in IEC 60601-1,
5
th
Edition in regards to risk management. TRT shall use its good faith efforts to
follow the recommendations of the Risk Analysis performed for the existing NovaRay system which
is detailed in
NovaRay.RA.Rev1
6.5 UL Certification
We will manage the UL certification process required as a condition of the FDAs 510(k)
marketing clearance and before commercial distribution. Equipment will be certified to the
relevant sections of UL/IEC/CSA 60601-1, as well as any other appropriate standards and
regulations.
6.6 Regulatory
This System was granted clearance by the FDA in September of 1998 [510(k) # K982345], and is
indicated for use in generating real-time fluoroscopic images in patients where medically
indicated. We do not anticipate that the proposed changes to the NovaRay System will be
significant enough to warrant any additional marketing clearance from the Food and Drug
Administration. Although not defined at this time, any changes in indications for use or
additional features not claimed in the original filing will, however, require 510(k) filing.
Regulatory filing support is not included in the scope of this proposal.

2 Introduction
This proposal outlines Triple Ring Technologies approach to preparing a commercial-ready improved
version of NovaRays ScanCath Cardio X-ray fluoroscopy system. It is predicated on the completion
of all phase one activities described in the companion proposal
NOV.ScanCath.EP.Cardiac.prop.06.16.
The development activities described here build upon the ScanCath EP / Cardiac system
architecture. This proposal culminates in the delivery of a ScanCath Cardio instrument to the
first customer.
2.1 Scope
This proposal describes the activities required to update NovaRays ScanCath EP fluoroscopy
instrument for commercial use as the ScanCath Cardio instrument. In fulfilling this proposal we

3 Team Experience
Triple Ring is an engineering services firm focused on commercializing novel medical devices and
instrumentation. We have an extensive track record in the development of medical and biological
instrumentation, as well as sensor-based biotechnology and industrial systems. Projects for
clients have included bioimpedance instrumentation for catheter tracking and cell identification,
x-ray tubes for radiation therapy, x-ray imaging systems for whole-body CT and electrophysiology,
and detector systems for scanning electron microscopy. In-house development projects have included
an optical imaging system for sentinel node biopsy, state-of-the-art detectors for next-generation
x-ray and SPECT applications, and imaging systems for tracking a new generation of biomarkers.
Triple Ring is intimately familiar with the NovaRay technology, as numerous team members
participated in the development efforts at Cardiac Mariners and NexRay. This allows us to restart
development with minimal delay and expense. With this proposal we plan to use in-house resources
already familiar with the NovaRay system or employ or contract with former Cardiac Mariners and
NexRay employees whenever possible.
4 ScanCath System Roadmap
The ScanCath Cardio is the second in a series of fluoroscopy instruments from NovaRay, including
ScanCath EP, ScanCath Neuro, and ScanCath Vascular. Table 1 contains a summary of key user
requirements from NovaRay for each instrument, and Table 2 contains a summary of corresponding
functional requirements. Advanced features for the follow-on instruments [***] are noted here for
planning purposes but are not discussed in detail within this proposal. See the individual
proposals for development of the follow-on instrumentation for discussion of those features.

Figure 2: Validation Process
6.4 Risk Management
TRT shall follow the guidelines established in IEC 60601-1, 5
th
Edition in regards to
risk management. TRT shall follow the recommendations of the Risk Analysis performed for the
existing NovaRay system which is detailed in NovaRay.RA.Rev1
6.5 UL Certification
We will manage the UL certification process required as a condition of the FDAs 510(k)
marketing clearance and before commercial distribution. Equipment will be certified to the
relevant sections of UL/IEC/CSA 60601-1, as well as any other appropriate standards and
regulations.
6.6 Regulatory
This System was granted clearance by the FDA in September of 1998 [510(k) # K982345], and is
indicated for use in generating real time fluoroscopic images in patients where medically
indicated. We anticipate that the following changes proposed for the ScanCath Cardio instrument
will warrant additional 510(k) marketing clearances from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA):
Triple Ring will handle the necessary FDA filings as required, in a manner consistent with
NovaRays instructions, which Triple Ring shall obtain in advance. On each and every FDA
filing, Triple Ring shall obtain NovaRays advance, written consent to the filing (including
without limitation the content of the filing). As part of the process of obtaining NovaRays
consent, Triple Ring shall address and incorporate to NovaRays satisfaction any comments
NovaRay may have.
6.7 Installation and Acceptance Testing
We will install a pilot production unit at NovaRays first customer site and support instrument
acceptance testing. We will coordinate the necessary site engineering and preparation prior to
shipping the unit.

3.
Exercise of Warrant
.
(a)
Method of Exercise
. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in
part during the Exercise Period by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached
hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company of
an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such
exercise multiplied by the number of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is
then being exercised, payable at such Holders election (i) by certified or official bank check,
wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the Company, the
cancellation by the Holder of indebtedness or other obligations of the Company to the Holder, (ii)
by cashless exercise in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 3, or
(iii) by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant.
(b)
Cashless Exercise
. In addition to a cash exercise, to the extent the market value
of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of calculation
as set forth below), the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed notice of
exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock
computed using the following formula:
|
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
X =
|
|
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Y =
|
|
the market value of one share of Common Stock as of the close
of the business day preceding the date of exercise
|
3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A =
|
|
the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the number of shares
being purchased multiplied time the per share strike price under the Warrant)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B =
|
|
the aggregate market value of all shares of Common Stock
being purchased by exercise of the warrant as of the close of the business day
preceding the date of exercise.
|
(c)
Cashless Exercise with Share Withholding for Tax
. In addition to a cash exercise
and a cashless exercise, to the extent the market value of one share of Common Stock is greater
than the Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may
exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise with share withholding for tax and shall receive the
number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this
Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed notice of
exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock
computed using the following formula:
|
|
|
|
|
Where:
|
|
X =
|
|
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Y =
|
|
the market value of one share of Common Stock as of the close
of the business day preceding the date of exercise
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A =
|
|
the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the number of shares
being purchased multiplied time the per share strike price under the Warrant),
plus the amount of money needed to satisfy Holders tax obligations with
respect to the exercise, at the Holders marginal state and federal income tax
rate (the Tax Amount).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B =
|
|
the aggregate market value of all shares of Common Stock
being purchased by exercise of the warrant as of the close of the business day
preceding the date of exercise.
|
As soon as reasonably practicable following the exercise, the Company shall pay the holder the
amount in cash equal to the Tax Amount.
(d)
Delivery of Stock Certificates
. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been
exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as
provided above, and the person or entity entitled to receive the Warrant Shares issuable upon such
exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close
of business on such date. As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within
ten (10) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the
person, persons, or entity entitled to receive the same, a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part,
the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor exercisable for the
4
number of shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised. No adjustments shall be made
on Warrant Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant for any cash dividends paid or payable
to holders of record of Common Stock prior to the date as of which the Holder shall be deemed to be
the record holder of such Warrant Shares.
(e)
Adjustment
. In the event the Company (i) splits, subdivides, or combines the
Common Stock into a different number of securities of the same class, (ii) pays a stock dividend on
the Common Stock, (iii) reclassifies the Common Stock into the same or a different number of
securities (each, an Adjustment Event) then the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted
and this Warrant shall represent the right to acquire such number and the kind of securities that
would have been issued had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such an
Adjustment Event.
(f)
Market Stand-Off
. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the
Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the
Securities Act, including the Companys initial public offering, the Holder shall not sell, make
any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise
dispose or transfer for value or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect
to this Warrant or Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant without the prior written
consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time after the effective date of
such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters (not to exceed
one hundred eighty (180) days);
provided
,
however
, that all executive officers and
directors of the Company then holding Common Stock enter into similar agreements. This Section
3(f) shall only remain in effect for the two-year period following the effective date of the
Companys initial public offering. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, or other change affecting the Companys outstanding Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted, or additional securities distributed with
respect to this Warrant or securities issued upon conversion of this Warrant shall be immediately
subject to the provisions of this Section 3(f). It is expressly understood and agreed that the
restrictions imposed by this Section 3(f) shall only apply to the extent the underwriter selected
by Company requests that a provision comparable to that set forth in this Section 3(f) be imposed
upon the Warrant.
4.
No Fractional Shares or Scrip
. No fractional shares or scrip representing
fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional
share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal
to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
5.
Replacement of Warrant
. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss,
theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new
warrant of like tenor and amount.
6.
Rights as Shareholder
. The Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive
dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company that
5
may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything
contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter
submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate
action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of
par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or
to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until
the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.
7.
Transfer of Warrant
.
(a)
Warrant Register
. The Company will maintain a register (the Warrant Register)
containing the names and addresses of the Holder or Holders. Any Holder of this Warrant or any
portion thereof may change this address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the
Company requesting such change. Any notice or written communication required or permitted to be
given to the Holder may be delivered or given by mail to such Holder as shown on the Warrant
Register and at the address shown on the Warrant Register. Until this Warrant is transferred on
the Warrant Register of the Company, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant
Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.
(b)
Warrant Agent
. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder, appoint an agent
for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 7(a) hereof, issuing the
Warrant Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this
Warrant, replacing this Warrant, or any or all of the foregoing. Thereafter, any such
registration, issuance, exchange, or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at the office
of such agent.
(c)
Transferability and Nonnegotiability of Warrant
. This Warrant may not be offered,
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of for value. With respect to any permissible offer, sale
or other disposition of this Warrant or securities into which this Warrant may be converted, the
Holder will give written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner
thereof. Unless the Company reasonably determines that such transfer would violate applicable
securities laws, or that such transfer would adversely affect the Companys ability to account for
future transactions to which it is a party as a pooling of interests, and notifies the Holder
thereof within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of the transfer, the Holder may effect
such transfer. Each Warrant thus transferred and each certificate representing the securities thus
transferred shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to
ensure compliance with the Securities Act, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company such
legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may
issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.
(d)
Exchange of Warrant Upon a Transfer
. On surrender of this Warrant for exchange,
properly endorsed on the Assignment Form and subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect
to compliance with the Securities Act and with the limitations on assignments and transfers and
contained in this Section 7, the Company at its expense shall issue
6
to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the
Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for
the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof.
(e)
Compliance with Securities Laws
.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the
Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holders own
account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise
hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws.
(ii) This Warrant and all certificates representing the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise
hereof or conversion thereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the
following form (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES AND ANY
SECURITIES OR SHARES ISSUED HEREUNDER MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED
IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THERE FROM UNDER
SAID ACT.
(iii) The Company agrees to remove promptly, upon the request of the holder of this Warrant
and Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, the legend set forth in Section 7(e)(ii)
hereof from the documents/certificates for such securities upon full compliance with this Agreement
and Rules 144 and 145.
8.
Notices
.
(a) In case:
(i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or
securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling
them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;
(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock
of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation
(subject to Section 8(b) below), or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company to another corporation;
(iii) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
7
(iv) of any redemption of all outstanding Common Stock; or
(v) of the filing of the Companys first registration statement with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC); then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be
mailed to the Holder or Holders a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the
amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, (B) the date on which such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation,
winding-up, redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of
which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities at the time receivable
upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or
such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up, or (C) the anticipated date on which the Company expects its first registration
statement with the SEC to become effective. Such notice shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the date therein specified.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 8(a) above, the Holder hereby: (i) waives its right to any notice
that may otherwise be required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to this Warrant if a
wholly-owned subsidiary of a company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (PubCo), merges with, and into the Company,
whereby, following such Merger, the security holders of the Company become security holders of
PubCo and the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (a Reverse Merger), and (ii)
assuming the Reverse Merger is consummated, consents to the assumption of the Warrant by PubCo and
all obligations hereunder so long as lawful and adequate provisions are made whereby the Holder
hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common
Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights
represented hereby), at the same aggregate exercise price, such shares of stock, securities or
other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of
outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented
hereby. In any Reverse Merger, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and
interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as
nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise hereof.
(c) All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be effective
upon receipt and shall be in writing and may be delivered in person, by telecopy, electronic mail,
overnight delivery service or three (3) business days after deposit if deposited in the United
States mail for mailing by first-class, certified mail, postage prepaid, and addressed (i) if to
the Holder, at such Holders address as set forth on the signature page hereto or as such Holder
shall have furnished to the Company in writing; or (ii) if to the Company, at its address set forth
on the signature page hereto, or at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the
Holder in writing.

9.
Amendments
. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended, waived or modified
(either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for
a specified period of time or indefinitely), upon the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.
10.
Covenants of the Company
.
(a) Covenants as to the Exercise of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant
Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and
agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved,
free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise
of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel,
be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
(b) No Impairment. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the
Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
11.

any part thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Holder has no present intention of
selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing this Warrant or the Warrant
Shares. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the entire legal and
beneficial interest of this Warrant will be held for Holders account only, and neither in whole or
in part for any other person. The Holder further hereby represents and warrants to the Company
that the Holder has no present contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to

Warrant or the Warrant Shares to be issued following exercise of this Warrant.
9
(b) The Holder is aware of the Companys business affairs and financial condition and has
acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision
to acquire this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.
(c) The Holder understands and hereby acknowledges that the issuance of the Warrant and
Warrant Shares is being effected by the Company without registration under the Securities Act on
the basis of the fact that the issuance of the Warrant is exempt from the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption therefrom under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and in reliance upon Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and
that Companys reliance upon such exemption is predicated upon, among other things, the
representations and warranties of the Holder to the Company set forth herein.
(d) The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Holder either has a
preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or any of its partners, officers,
directors or controlling persons, or by reason of the Holders business or financial experience or
the business or financial experience of the Holders professional advisers who are unaffiliated
with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company,
directly or indirectly, has the capacity to protect the Holders own interests in connection with
the Holders investment in the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of the
Warrant.
(e) The Holder hereby further represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the Holder has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters (either directly or by reason of an
adviser as described above in Section 11(d)) so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of Holders prospective investment in the Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise
of the Warrant, (ii) the Holder has received all of the information Holder has requested from the
Company that Holder considers necessary or appropriate for determining whether to accept the
Warrant, (iii) the Holder has the ability to bear the economic risks of Holders prospective
investment in the Warrant Shares, and (iv) Holder is able, without materially impairing its
financial condition, to hold the Warrant and the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time
and to suffer complete loss on its investment in the Warrant Shares.
(f) The Holder understands and hereby acknowledges that (i) the Warrant and the Warrant Shares
must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act is available with
respect to any sale or other disposition of such Warrant or Warrant Shares, and (ii) the Company is
not under any obligation to register such Warrant or Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder at
any time.
(g) The Holder is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities
Act, which in substance permits limited public resale of restricted securities acquired directly
or indirectly from the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such issuer) in a non-public
offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: (i) the
availability of certain public information about the issuer of such restricted securities,
(ii) the resale occurring not less than one year after the holder of such restricted
10
securities has purchased and made full payment for (within the meaning of Rule 144) the
restricted securities to be sold, (iii) the sale being made through a broker in an unsolicited
broker transaction or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under
the Securities Act), (iv) the amount of restricted securities being sold during any three month
period not exceeding the greater of (a) one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of the same
class of securities as the restricted securities to be sold, as shown by the most recent report
or statement of the issuer, or (b) the average weekly reported volume of trading in shares of the
same class of securities as the restricted securities to be sold on all national securities
exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities
association during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of notice of proposed sale, if
applicable and (v) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable. Holder further understands and
hereby acknowledges that, at the time Holder wishes to sell the Warrant Shares to be issued to the
Holder in connection with exercise of the Warrant, there may be no public trading market upon which
to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then exists, the Company may not be
satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that, in such event, the
Holder would be precluded from selling the Warrant Shares issued to Holder in connection with
exercise of the Warrant under Rule 144, even if the one year minimum holding period had been
satisfied. The Holder further understands and hereby acknowledges that, in the event that all of
the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act or
some other exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act would be required to sell the Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder in connection with exercise
of the Warrant.
(h) The Holder is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act.

rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock (as the case may be).
(e)
No Conflicts
. Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.1(e)
hereto, the

the Company of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated herein and therein do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Companys
Certificate or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice

indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a
party or by which it or its properties or assets are bound, (iii) create or impose a lien,
mortgage, security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property of the Company

are bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) and (iv)
above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The
business of the Company and its subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation of any laws,
ordinances or regulations of any governmental entity, except for possible violations which
singularly or in the aggregate do not and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is
not required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental
agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction

Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof (other than (x) any consent,
authorization or order that has been obtained as of the date hereof, (y) any filing or registration
that has been made as of the date hereof or (z) any filings which may be required to be made by the
Company with the Commission or state securities administrators subsequent to the Closing, any
registration statement which may be filed pursuant hereto, and the Certificate of Designation);
provided

Merger Agreement. At the times of their respective filings, the Company has complied in all
material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations
applicable to such documents, and, as of their respective dates, none of the Commission Documents

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company
included in the Commission Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other
applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been

granted or issued by or binding upon any subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares
of capital stock of any subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or
evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor
any subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise
acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary or any convertible securities,
rights, warrants or options of the type described in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company
nor any subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or
transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any subsidiary.

experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect, and since September 30, 2007, the Companys
subsidiaries have not experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect.

or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or their
respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, which, under
applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but
which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed, other than with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which such Purchaser is
a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule,
or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to

any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Preferred Shares
or
15
Warrants, nor will such Purchaser engage in any short sale that results in a disposition of
any of the Preferred Shares or Warrants by such Purchaser, except in compliance with any applicable
state and Federal securities laws. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the
financial risks associated with an investment in the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and that it
has been given full access to such records of the Company and the subsidiaries and to the officers
of the Company and the subsidiaries and has carefully reviewed and considered all such information
as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct such Purchasers due diligence investigation
and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in
terms of the Companys stage of development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of
its investment in the Company.

such questions and received answers to the full satisfaction of such Purchaser, and such Purchaser
desires to invest in the Company.
(g)
No General Solicitation
. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Preferred Shares
and the Warrants were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public
solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature,
including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper,
magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting
to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.
(h)
Rule 144

unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is
available. Such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules
and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act
(
Rule 144
), and that such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only
under certain circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not

reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state
securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,

disposing of the Shares purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act,
and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Shares. Each
Purchaser understands that nothing in the Agreement or any other materials presented to such
Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Preferred Shares and Warrants constitutes
legal, tax or investment advice. Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment
advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its
purchase of the Preferred Shares and Warrants.
(k)
Risk of Loss; No Public Market
. Each Purchaser understands that its investment in
the Preferred Shares and Warrants involves a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total
loss of such Purchasers investment. Each Purchaser understands that there currently is no public
market for the securities of the Company; that the purchase price for the Shares was established by
negotiations between NovaRay and the Lead Investor; and that no representation is being made as to
the future value of any of the Companys securities.

Section 3.7
Amendments
. The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the
Certificate or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would adversely affect the liquidation
preferences, dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights or redemption rights of the
Preferred Shares;
provided
,
however
, that any creation and issuance of another
series of Junior Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) shall not be deemed to
materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges.
Section 3.8
Other Agreements
. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which
the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability of the Company or any
subsidiary to perform under any Transaction Document.
Section 3.9
Distributions
. So long as any Preferred Shares or Underlying Preferred
Shares remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or
make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for
value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company except for
(y) repurchases of shares of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors, or
consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services
pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, and (z) repurchases of shares of
Common Stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company or
its subsidiaries pursuant to rights of first refusal contained in agreements providing for such
rights.
Section 3.10
Use of Proceeds
. The net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder
shall be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes and not to redeem
any Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock or to
settle any outstanding litigation.
Section 3.11
Reservation of Shares
. So long as any of the Preferred Shares or
Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred ten percent (110%)
of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the

Section 3.12
Transfer Agent Instructions
. The Company shall issue irrevocable
instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates,
registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the
Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (or Underlying Preferred Shares) or exercise of the
Warrants in the form of
Exhibit F
attached hereto (the
Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions
). Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under
the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in
Section 5.1
of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the
Irrevocable Transfer
19
Agent Instructions referred to in this
Section 3.12
will be given by the Company to
its transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares
may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company
with reasonable assurances that such Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any
restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be
immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in
such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive
legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this
Section
3.12
will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for
a breach of its obligations under this
Section 3.12
will be inadequate and agrees, in the
event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Section
3.12
, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer,
without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
Section 3.13
Disposition of Assets
. So long as any Preferred Shares and/or Underlying
Preferred Shares remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its
software and intellectual property, to any person except for licenses or sales to customers in the
ordinary course of business or with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the
Preferred Shares and Underlying Preferred Shares then outstanding.
Section 3.14
Reporting Status
. So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the
Shares, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant
to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not cease filing reports under the Exchange Act even if
the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.
Section 3.15
Disclosure of Transaction
. The Company shall issue a press release

each series of Warrant and the Press Release) as soon as practicable following the Closing Date but
in no event more than four (4) Trading Days following the Closing Date, which Press Release and

exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) shall be open for trading.
20
Section 3.16
Disclosure of Material Information
. The Company covenants and agrees
that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any
Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information (other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement), unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding
the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.
Section 3.17
Pledge of Securities
. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the
Shares may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan
or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock. The pledge of Common Stock shall not
be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common Stock hereunder, and no Purchaser
effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof
or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions
of
Article V
hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Common Stock to
such pledgee. At the Purchasers expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such
documentation as a pledgee of the Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge
of the Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser.
Section 3.18
Form SB-2 Eligibility

eligibility and transaction requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form SB-2
applicable to resale registrations on Form SB-2.

No Commissions in connection with Conversion of Preferred Shares
. In
connection with the conversion of the Preferred Shares or Underlying Preferred Shares into
Conversion Shares, neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf will take any action
that would result in the Conversion Shares being exchanged by the Company other than with the then

Stock Certificate Legend
Section 5.1
Legend
. Each certificate representing the Preferred Shares, the

conversion thereof, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the
following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or blue sky
laws):
THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE
SECURITIES
)
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
SECURITIES ACT
) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE
RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of
any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the
manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed
transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the
Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with
such proposed transfer, or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such
proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective
under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the
securities or blue sky laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed
disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws has been
effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such
notice from a holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under
this
Section 5.1
, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify
to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would
subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject,
or (z) to comply with state securities or blue sky laws of any state for which registration by
coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer
25
contained in this
Section 5.1
shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation
of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever
a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a
Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion
Shares or Warrant Shares (
provided
that a registration statement under the Securities Act
providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares is then in effect), the
Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or Warrant
Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser or such Purchasers Prime Broker

ARTICLE VI
Indemnification
Section 6.1
Indemnification of Purchasers
. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members,
shareholders, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any
inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.
Section 6.2
Indemnification Procedure
. Any party entitled to indemnification under
this
Article VI
(an
indemnified party
) will give prompt written notice to the
party required to provide indemnification under this
Article VI
(the
indemnifying
party
) of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification;
provided
, that the
failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall
not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this
Article VI
except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give prompt notice.
In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which
indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in
and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it
and the indemnifying party may exist with respect to such action, proceeding or claim, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event
that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for
indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification
notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its
sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time
after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or
otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying
party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or
action, the indemnified partys costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or
compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification
hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully 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
which
26
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party
fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with
respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the
indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at
its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything
in this
Article VI
to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the
indemnified partys prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of
any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or
which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the
plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The
indemnification required by this
Article VI
shall be made by periodic payments of the
amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or
expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees
to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such
party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in
addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the
indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to
pursuant to the law.
Section 6.3
Exclusive Remedy
. After the Closing, the indemnities provided for herein
shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any indemnified party for damages arising out of,
resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims related to this Agreement or arising out
of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants. In addition, the Lead Investor
hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to
this Article VI to the extent that any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the
Company contained in this Agreement also constitutes a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant of the Company or its subsidiary, Vision Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., contained in
Article 3 of the Merger Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
Miscellaneous
Section 7.1
Fees and Expenses
. Irrespective of whether the Initial Closing is

out-of-pocket expenses of one special counsel for the Lead Investor, not to exceed [$100,000] in
the aggregate, $10,000 of which has already been paid. If any action at law or in equity is
necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of the Transaction Documents, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys fees, costs and necessary disbursements in addition to
any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
Section 7.2
Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction
.
(a) The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur
in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other
27
Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an
injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or
thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or
equity.
(b) Each of the Company and the Purchasers (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court sitting in the Southern District of New York and the courts of
the State of New York located in New York county for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any
such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the
venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Purchasers
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
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 in
this
Section 7.2
shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.
Section 7.3
Entire Agreement; Amendment
. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents
collectively contain the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the
matters covered hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein or in the Transaction
Documents, neither the Company nor any of the Purchasers makes any representations, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters and they supersede all prior understandings
and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision
of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Company
and the holders of at a majority of the Preferred Shares and Underlying Preferred Shares then
outstanding, and no provision hereof may be waived other than by an a written instrument signed by
the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is sought. No such amendment
shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Preferred
Shares and Underlying Preferred Shares then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid

Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the

may be.

and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
Section 7.8
Successors and Assigns
. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.
Section 7.9
No Third Party Beneficiaries
. This Agreement is intended for the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the
29
benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person (other than the
indemnified parties under
Article VI
).
Section 7.10
Governing Law
. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the
conflicts of law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law of another
jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against
the party causing this Agreement to be drafted.
Section 7.11
Survival
. The representations and warranties of the Company and the
Purchasers shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the Closings hereunder for a period
of one year following the last Closing Date.
Section 7.12
Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being
understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the
same force and effect as if such facsimile or electronic signature were the original thereof.
Section 7.13
Publicity
. The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not
include in any public announcement, the name of the Purchasers without the consent of the
Purchasers unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then
only to the extent of such requirement.
Section 7.14
Severability
. The provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine
that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or
part of a provision of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and such provision shall be
reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such
provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and
enforceable to the maximum extent possible.
Section 7.15
Further Assurances
. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the
request of any Purchaser or the Company, each of the Company and the Purchasers shall execute and
deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable
to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement, the
Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Certificate of
Designation, the Registration Rights Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
Section 7.16

30

thousand dollar ($50,000) break-up fee (the

further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other, and no
Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents as a
result therefrom.

Re: NovaRay Medical, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are counsel to NovaRay Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
Company
), and
have represented the Company in connection with that certain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the
Purchase Agreement
), dated as of December 27, 2007,
by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the
Purchasers
)
pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers shares (the
Preferred Shares
) of
its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
Preferred
Stock
) and warrants (the
Warrants
) to purchase shares of the Companys common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (the
Common Stock
) and/or Preferred Stock, as applicable.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has also entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement with the Purchasers (the
Registration Rights Agreement
), dated as of December
27, 2007, pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable
Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the
1933 Act
). In connection with the Companys obligations
under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ______, 200_, the Company filed a
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-___) (the
Registration Statement
)
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) relating to the resale of the
Registrable Securities which names each of the present Purchasers as a selling stockholder
thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SECs 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]
and we have no
knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SECs 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 and accordingly, the Registrable Securities are available for resale under
the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Master Fund, Ltd. or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the
Term (as hereinafter defined), up to that number of shares of the duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Issuer determined by dividing the number of
shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Series J Warrant (as defined in the Purchase

); provided, however, that in the

(a)
Time of Exercise
. Subject to the proviso set forth in Section 1 above, the
purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term.
(b)
Method of Exercise
. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in
part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at
the principal office of the Issuer, and by the payment to the Issuer of an amount of consideration
therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number
of shares of Warrant Stock with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at
such Holders election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account
designated by the Issuer, (ii) by cashless exercise in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (c)
of this
Section 2
, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing
methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant.
(c)
Cashless Exercise
. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and
commencing one (1) year following the Original Issue Date if the Per Share Market Value of one
share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth
below), the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of
shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Issuer together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which
event the Issuer shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the
following formula:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
X =
|
|
Y -
(A)(Y)
B
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where
|
|
X =
|
|
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Y =
|
|
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being
exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A =
|
|
the Warrant Price.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
B =
|
|
the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
|
(d)
Issuance of Stock Certificates
. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of
Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the
Delivery Date
) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement
under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect and the
Holder
2
so
requests in writing of the Issuer), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company
(
DTC
) account on the Holders behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
System (
DWAC
) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such
exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the shares of
Warrant Stock so purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, the Issuer or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares
to the DTC on a holders behalf via DWAC if the Issuer and its transfer agent are participating in
DTC through the DWAC system. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification
undertaking in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer with respect to such Warrant in the
case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With
respect to partial exercises of this Warrant, the Issuer shall keep written records for the Holder
of the number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of exercise.
(e)
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise
.
In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to cause its transfer
agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Stock
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is
required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
Buy-In
), then the Issuer shall (1) pay in
cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer was required to deliver to
the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
times
(B) the Warrant Price, as may be adjusted
in accordance with this Warrant, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion
of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not
honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. 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 exercise of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate
sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide
the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In,
together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holders 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 Issuers failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(f)
Transferability/Exchangeability of Warrant
. Subject to
Section 2(h)
hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of
the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the
books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing
an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental
3
charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal office of the
Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock, each new
Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the Holder
hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges
shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the
number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
(g)
Continuing Rights of Holder
. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the
extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such
Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant;
provided
that if any such Holder shall fail to make, or the Issuer shall fail to honor,
any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford
such rights to such Holder.
(h)
Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant
and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely
for the Holders own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment,
and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any shares
of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective
registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any
applicable state securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates
representing shares of Warrant Stock issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or
imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE
HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY
NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any
4
transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer
describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be
effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the
Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, or (ii) a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been
filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective
under the Securities Act, and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that registration or qualification
under the securities or blue sky laws of any state is not required in connection with such
proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or blue sky laws
has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Issuer will respond
to any such notice from a holder within five (5) Trading Days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this
Section 2(h)
, the Issuer will pay the expenses of and use
reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or blue sky laws,
but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is
not then qualified, or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general
service of process in any state where it is not then subject. The restrictions on transfer
contained in this
Section 2(h)
shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation
of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant.
Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to a Holder
without a legend, at the request of the Holder, in lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to electronically
transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holders Prime
Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions
of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement).
(i)
Accredited Investor Status
. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in
whole or in part unless the Holder is an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D under the
Securities Act.
3.
Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants
.
(a)
Stock Fully Paid
. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all
shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise
hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The
Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be
exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise.
(b)
Reservation
. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares
5
may be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its
expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any
shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon,
and maintain and increase when necessary such listing of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to
time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (
provided
that such
Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act
then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all
unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the
same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c)
Covenants
. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation,
amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities
or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of
this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and
in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the
Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of
its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision
of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would materially
and adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may
be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and
restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body
having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
(d)
Loss, Theft, Destruction, Mutilation of Warrants
. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or
security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase
the same number of shares of Common Stock.
(e)
Payment of Taxes
. The Issuer will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to
the initial issuance of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant;
provided,
however
, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates representing
Warrant Stock in a name other than that of the Holder in respect to which such shares are issued.
4.
Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise
.
6
The Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 4
. The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which
requires an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4
in accordance with the notice provisions
set forth in
Section 5
.
(a)
Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale
.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following
(each, a
Triggering Event
): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person
and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or
merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the
Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged
for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the number of
shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon
the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of
such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering
Event, to receive at the Warrant Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of
such Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this
Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such
Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto
(including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive
upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as
nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this
Section
4
. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Issuer shall notify the
Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and provide the calculations in determining the
number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted
Warrant Price. Upon the Holders request, the continuing or surviving Person as a result of
such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the
right to purchase the adjusted number of shares of Warrant Stock and the adjusted Warrant
Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Section
4(a)(i)
. Notwithstanding
the foregoing to the contrary, this
Section
4(a)(i)
shall only apply if the
surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event has a class of equity securities
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock
is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system
or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the surviving entity pursuant to any such
Triggering Event is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national
securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the
Holder shall have the
7
right to demand that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the value of
this Warrant calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula.
(ii) In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the
consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the surviving entity pursuant to any
Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities registered pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on
a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin
Board, the surviving entity and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required
to deliver any shares of Warrant Stock (including all Securities, cash or property) upon the
exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered
to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the
Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such
Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer
from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to
deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions of this
subsection (a)
.
(b)
Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations
. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares
of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of
Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock,
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common
Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive
after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to
equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
(c)
Certain Other Distributions
. If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set
a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution of:
(i) cash,
8
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
Securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents
or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any
nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common
Stock), then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction
(A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of Common Stock at the date
of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be such Per Share Market Value
minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable
and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer
of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property
or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (2) the Warrant
Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of
the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or
from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of
stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to the holders of its Common Stock of
such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this
Section 4(c)
and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller
number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be
deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock within the meaning of
Section 4(b)
.
(d)
Warrant Price Adjustments
. The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:
(i) (A) If the Issuer shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Preferred
Stock were first issued (the
Purchase Date
), any Additional Shares of Common Stock
(as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price for this Warrant in effect immediately
prior to each such issuance shall (except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(d)(i)) be
adjusted concurrently with such issuance to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and deemed issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(i)(E) immediately prior to such
issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received
by this Issuer for such issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
9
Common Stock outstanding and deemed issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(i)(E) immediately prior
to such issuance plus the number of shares of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(B) No adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall be made in
an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required
to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to one (1) year from the date of the
event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of
one (1) year from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward.
Except to the limited extent provided for in Sections 4(d)(i)(E)(3) and 4(d)(i)(E)(4), no
adjustment of such Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i) shall have the effect of
increasing the Warrant Price above the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.
(C) For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), in the case of the issuance of Additional
Shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash
paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or incurred by this Issuer for any underwriting or otherwise in connection
with the issuance and sale thereof.
(D) For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), in the case of the issuance of the Additional
Shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by
the Board irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the Purchase Date) of
Common Stock Equivalents, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this
Section 4(d)(i):
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including, without
limitation, the passage of time, of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were
issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided
in Sections 4(d)(i)(C) and 4(d)(i)(D)), if any, received by this Issuer upon the issuance of
such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights
for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or
exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, for any such
convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights
to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at
10
the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a
consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Issuer for any such
securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued
interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be
received by the Issuer upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of
any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner
provided in Sections 4(d)(i)(C) and 4(d)(i)(D)).
(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or
in the consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such options or rights or upon
conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but
not limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the Warrant
Price, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or
securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be
made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the
exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such
rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such
convertible or exchangeable securities, the Warrant Price, to the extent in any way affected
by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such
securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of
Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually
issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such
securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.
(5) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed
paid therefor pursuant to Sections 4(d)(i)(E)(1) and 4(d)(i)(E)(2) shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either
Section 4(d)(i)(E)(3) or 4(d)(i)(E)(4).
(ii)
Termination
. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the right to any
adjustments to the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall terminate upon the earlier of:
(i) the expiration of the Term; or (ii) the occurrence of a Triggering Event. In addition, no
adjustment to the Warrant Price shall be made for all or any portion of this Warrant that is
exercised prior to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock that would require an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(d).
(e)
Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section
. The following
provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this
Section 4
:
(i)
Computation of Consideration
. Except as otherwise provided, to the
11
extent that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any
warrants or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration
received by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer
therefor, or, if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are
offered by the Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for
public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any
such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued
dividends and without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or
incurred by the Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the
issuance thereof). In connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Issuer is
the surviving Person (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed to or exchanged for the
stock or other securities of another Person), the amount of consideration therefore shall
be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board, of
such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving Person as the Board may
determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, as
the case may be. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable
pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the
additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of such warrants or other
rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the consideration received by the Issuer
for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Common Stock
Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Issuer in respect of the
subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right of conversion or
exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In the event of any consolidation or merger of
the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the surviving Person or in which the previously
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for the
stock or other securities of another Person, or in the event of any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities of any Person,
the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock
or securities or other property of the other Person computed on the basis of the actual
exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the
fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other
property of the other Person. In the event any consideration received by the Issuer for any
securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value thereof at the time
of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good faith by the Board.
In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the
Issuer for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this
Section 4(e)(i)
shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in
good faith by the Board.
(ii)
When Adjustments to Be Made
. The adjustments required by this
Section
12
4
shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment
shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the
case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in
Section 4(b)
) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either
by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one
percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than
such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and
made (x) as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this
Section 4
and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment, or (y) on
the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed
to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(iii)
Fractional Interests
. In computing adjustments under this
Section
4
, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one
one-hundredth (1/100
th
) of a share.
(iv)
When Adjustment Not Required
. If the Issuer shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or
distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the
distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such
dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall
be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made
in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(h)
Form of Warrant after Adjustments
. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(i)
Escrow of Warrant Stock
. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to
this
Section 4
by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but
prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this
Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be
deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow
for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event
actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other
provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is
rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property
returned.
5.
Notice of Adjustments
. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be
adjusted pursuant to
Section 4
hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5
, each an
Adjustment
), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a
13
certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the Adjustment, the
amount of the Adjustment, the method by which such Adjustment was calculated (including a
description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant
Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such Adjustment, and shall cause copies of
such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each Adjustment. Any
dispute between the Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in
such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to an Independent
Appraiser mutually selected by the Holder and the Issuer. The Independent Appraiser shall be
instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within
thirty (30) days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding
on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the initial firm selected as Independent
Appraiser shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder.
6.
Fractional Shares
. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in
connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall round
the number of shares to be issued upon exercise down to the nearest whole number of shares.
7.
Ownership Cap and Exercise Restriction
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when
aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such time, the number of
shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock;
provided
,
however
, that
upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to
Section 12
hereof) (the
Waiver Notice
) that such Holder would like to waive this
Section 7
with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, this
Section 7
will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of
the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice;
provided
,
further
, that during the
sixty-one (61) day period prior to the Expiration Date of this Warrant the Holder may waive this
Section 7 upon providing the Waiver Notice at any time during such sixty-one (61) day period,
provided
,
further
, that any Waiver Notice during the sixty-one (61) day period
prior to the Expiration Date will not be effective until the Expiration Date.

Issuance of Stock Certificates
. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the shares of
Warrant Stock so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder
hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) Trading Days after such exercise (the
Delivery Date
) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement
under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Stock is then in effect and the
Holder so requests in writing of the Issuer), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company

records for the Holder of the number of shares of Warrant Stock exercised as of each date of

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise
.
In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Issuer fails to cause its transfer
agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Stock
pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is
required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Stock which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a
Buy-In
), then the Issuer shall (1) pay in
cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Stock that the Issuer was required to deliver to
the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue
times
(B) the Warrant Price, as may be adjusted
in accordance with this Warrant, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion
of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Stock for which such exercise was not
honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
had the Issuer timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. 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 exercise of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate
sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Issuer shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide
the Issuer written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In,
together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Issuer.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holders 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 Issuers failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(f)
Transferability/Exchangeability of Warrant
. Subject to
Section 2(h)
hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, without the consent of
the Issuer. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the
books of the Issuer by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender
of this Warrant at the principal office of the Issuer, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing
an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other
governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This Warrant is exchangeable at the principal
office of the Issuer for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of shares of Warrant Stock,
each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares of Warrant Stock as the
Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or
exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as
to the number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable pursuant thereto.
(g)
Continuing Rights of Holder
. The Issuer will, at the time of or at any time after
each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the
extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such
3
Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant;
provided
that if any such Holder shall fail to make, or the Issuer shall fail to honor,
any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Issuer to afford
such rights to such Holder.
(h)

and the shares of Warrant Stock to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely

UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
OR THE ISSUER SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY
SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
(iii) The Issuer agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Stock, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any
transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Issuer
describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be
effected until: (a) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the
Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, or (ii) a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been
filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become effective
under the Securities Act, and (b) either (i) the Issuer has received an opinion of counsel

any proposed transfer under this
Section 2(h)
, the Issuer will pay the expenses of
and use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or blue sky
laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it
is not then qualified, or (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the
general service of process in any state where it is not then subject. The restrictions on
transfer contained in this
Section 2(h)
shall be in addition to, and not by way of
limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this
Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Stock is required to be issued to
a Holder without a legend, at the request of the Holder, in lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the Warrant Stock, the Issuer shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Warrant Stock to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holders Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with
any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement).
(i)
Accredited Investor Status
. In no event may the Holder exercise this Warrant in
whole or in part unless the Holder is an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D under the
Securities Act.
3.
Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants
.
(a)
Stock Fully Paid
. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all
shares of Warrant Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise
hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges. The
Issuer further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be
exercised, the Issuer will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the
issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise.
(b)
Reservation
. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance
upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or
qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares may
be so issued, the Issuer will in good faith use best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its
expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Issuer shall list any
shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon,
and maintain and increase when necessary such listing of, all shares of Warrant Stock from time to
time issued upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (
provided
that such
Warrant Stock has been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act
then in effect), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all
unissued shares of Warrant Stock which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of
Common Stock shall be so listed. The Issuer will also so list on each securities exchange or
market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant
5
shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities
of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Issuer.
(c)
Covenants
. The Issuer shall not by any action including, without limitation,
amending the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws of the Issuer, or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities
or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of
this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and
in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the
Holder hereof against dilution (to the extent specifically provided herein) or impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer will (i) not permit the par value, if any, of
its Common Stock to exceed the then effective Warrant Price, (ii) not amend or modify any provision
of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer in any manner that would materially
and adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Warrants, (iii) take all such action as may
be reasonably necessary in order that the Issuer may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances and
restrictions (other than as provided herein) upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iv) use best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body
having jurisdiction thereof as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Issuer to perform its
obligations under this Warrant.
(d)
Loss, Theft, Destruction, Mutilation of Warrants
. Upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Issuer of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or
security satisfactory to the Issuer or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Warrant, the Issuer will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase
the same number of shares of Common Stock.
(e)
Payment of Taxes
. The Issuer will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to
the initial issuance of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant;
provided,
however
, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates representing
Warrant Stock in a name other than that of the Holder in respect to which such shares are issued.
4.
Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise
. The
Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this
Section 4
.
The Issuer shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment
pursuant to this
Section 4
in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in
Section 5
.
(a)
Recapitalization, Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale
.
(i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following
(each, a
Triggering Event
): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other
6
Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation
or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and
the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such
consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged
for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or
substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such
Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made to the Warrant Price and the number of shares of Warrant Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant so that, upon
the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this
Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of
such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering
Event, to receive at the Warrant Price as adjusted to take into account the consummation of
such Triggering Event, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this
Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such
Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto
(including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive
upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as
nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this
Section
4
. Immediately upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Issuer shall notify the
Holder in writing of such Triggering Event and provide the calculations in determining the
number of shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the new warrant and the adjusted
Warrant Price. Upon the Holders request, the continuing or surviving Person as a result of
such Triggering Event shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor evidencing the
right to purchase the adjusted number of shares of Warrant Stock and the adjusted Warrant
Price pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Section
4(a)(i)
. Notwithstanding
the foregoing to the contrary, this
Section
4(a)(i)
shall only apply if the
surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event has a class of equity securities
registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock
is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system
or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the surviving entity pursuant to any such
Triggering Event is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national
securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the
Holder shall have the right to demand that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount in cash
equal to the value of this Warrant calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula.
(ii) In the event that the Holder has elected not to exercise this Warrant prior to the
consummation of a Triggering Event, so long as the surviving entity pursuant to any
Triggering Event is a company that has a class of equity securities registered pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on
a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin
Board, the surviving entity and/or each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required
to deliver any shares of Warrant Stock (including all Securities,
7
cash or property) upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by
written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant,
(A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the
consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall
not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant)
and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
subsection (a)
.
(b)
Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations
. If at any time the Issuer shall:
(i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the
purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares
of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of
Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock,
then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common
Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive
after the happening of such event, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to
equal (A) the Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
(c)
Certain Other Distributions
. If at any time the Issuer shall make or issue or set
a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any
dividend or other distribution of:
(i) cash,
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other
Securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents
or Additional Shares of Common Stock), or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its
indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property of any
nature whatsoever (other than cash, Common Stock Equivalents or Additional Shares of Common
Stock), then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable
shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of
8
Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment
multiplied by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the Per Share Market Value of
Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (B) the denominator of which shall be
such Per Share Market Value minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any
such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Issuer of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock,
other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so
distributable, and (2) the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the
Warrant Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such
adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common
Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Issuer to
the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the
meaning of this
Section 4(c)
and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such
reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may
be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of
Section 4(b)
.
(d)
Warrant Price Adjustments
. The Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time as follows:
(i) (A) If the Issuer shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Preferred
Stock were first issued (the
Purchase Date
), any Additional Shares of Common Stock
(as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such
Additional Shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price for this Warrant in effect immediately
prior to each such issuance shall (except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(d)(i)) be
adjusted concurrently with such issuance to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant
Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding and deemed issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(i)(E) immediately prior to such
issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received
by this Issuer for such issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and deemed
issued pursuant to Section 4(d)(i)(E) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
(B) No adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall be made in
an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required
to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to one (1) year from the date of the
event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of
one (1) year from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being
9
carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for in Sections 4(d)(i)(E)(3) and
4(d)(i)(E)(4), no adjustment of such Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4(d)(i) shall
have the effect of increasing the Warrant Price above the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment.
(C) For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), in the case of the issuance of Additional
Shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash
paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses
allowed, paid or incurred by this Issuer for any underwriting or otherwise in connection
with the issuance and sale thereof.
(D) For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i), in the case of the issuance of the Additional
Shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by
the Board irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the Purchase Date) of
Common Stock Equivalents, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this
Section 4(d)(i):
(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including, without
limitation, the passage of time, of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for
Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were
issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided
in Sections 4(d)(i)(C) and 4(d)(i)(D)), if any, received by this Issuer upon the issuance of
such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights
for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or
exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, for any such
convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights
to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or
exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued
or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if
any, received by the Issuer for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding
any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum
additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Issuer upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the
consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Sections 4(d)(i)(C)
and 4(d)(i)(D))
(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or
in the consideration payable to the Issuer upon exercise of
10
such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or
exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the
antidilution provisions thereof, the Warrant Price, to the extent in any way affected by or
computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such
change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or
any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such
rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such
convertible or exchangeable securities, the Warrant Price, to the extent in any way affected
by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such
securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of
Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually
issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such
securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.
(5) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed
paid therefor pursuant to Sections 4(d)(i)(E)(1) and 4(d)(i)(E)(2) shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either
Section 4(d)(i)(E)(3) or 4(d)(i)(E)(4).
(ii)
Termination
. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the right to any
adjustments to the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall terminate upon the earlier of:
(i) the expiration of the Term; or (ii) the occurrence of a Triggering Event. In addition, no
adjustment to the Warrant Price shall be made for all or any portion of this Warrant that is
exercised prior to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock that would require an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 4(d).
(e)
Other Provisions applicable to Adjustments under this Section
. The following
provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect provided for in this
Section 4
:
(i)
Computation of Consideration
. Except as otherwise provided, to the extent
that any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (or any warrants
or other rights therefor) shall be issued for cash consideration, the consideration received
by the Issuer therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Issuer therefor, or,
if such Additional Shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the
Issuer for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such Additional Shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering
without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case
subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and
without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the
Issuer for and in the underwriting of, or
11
otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). In connection with any merger or
consolidation in which the Issuer is the surviving Person (other than any consolidation or
merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be
changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another Person), the amount of
consideration therefore shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and
in good faith by the Board, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving
Person as the Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be. The consideration for any Additional Shares
of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or
purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Issuer for issuing such
warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Issuer upon
exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Common Stock Equivalents shall be the
consideration received by the Issuer for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for
or purchase such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the consideration paid or payable to the
Issuer in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus
the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Issuer upon the exercise of the right
of conversion or exchange in such Common Stock Equivalents. In the event of any
consolidation or merger of the Issuer in which the Issuer is not the surviving Person or in
which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into
or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another Person, or in the event of any
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer for stock or other securities
of any Person, the Issuer shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common
Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other Person computed on the basis of
the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration
equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or
securities or other property of the other Person. In the event any consideration received
by the Issuer for any securities consists of property other than cash, the fair market value
thereof at the time of issuance or as otherwise applicable shall be as determined in good
faith by the Board. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or
other assets of the Issuer for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed
as provided in this
Section
4(e)(i)
shall be allocated among such securities and
assets as determined in good faith by the Board.
(ii)
When Adjustments to Be Made
. The adjustments required by this
Section
4
shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment
shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
this Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the
case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in
Section 4(b)
) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either
by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than one
percent (1%) of the shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately
prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than
such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and
made (x) as soon as such
12
adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this
Section 4
and not
previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment, or (y) on the date of exercise. For
the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the
close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(iii)
Fractional Interests
. In computing adjustments under this
Section
4
, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one
one-hundredth (1/100
th
) of a share.
(iv)
When Adjustment Not Required
. If the Issuer shall take a record of the
holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or
distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the
distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such
dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall
be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made
in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(h)
Form of Warrant after Adjustments
. The form of this Warrant need not be changed
because of any adjustments in the Warrant Price or the number and kind of Securities purchasable
upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(i)
Escrow of Warrant Stock
. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to
this
Section 4
by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but
prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, and the Holder exercises this
Warrant, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of such adjustment shall be
deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary herein) and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow
for the Holder by the Issuer to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event
actually takes place, upon payment of the current Warrant Price. Notwithstanding any other
provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is
rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be cancelled by the Issuer and escrowed property
returned.
5.
Notice of Adjustments
. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be
adjusted pursuant to
Section 4
hereof (for purposes of this
Section 5
, each an
Adjustment
), the Issuer shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a
certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the Adjustment, the amount of
the Adjustment, the method by which such Adjustment was calculated (including a description of the
basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share
Number after giving effect to such Adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be
delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each Adjustment. Any dispute between the
Issuer and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may
at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to an Independent Appraiser mutually
selected by the Holder and the Issuer. The Independent Appraiser shall be instructed to deliver a
written opinion as to such matters to the Issuer and such Holder within thirty (30) days after
submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on
13
the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the initial firm selected as Independent
Appraiser shall be paid equally by the Issuer and the Holder.
6.
Fractional Shares
. No fractional shares of Warrant Stock will be issued in
connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Issuer shall round
the number of shares to be issued upon exercise down to the nearest whole number of shares.
7.
Ownership Cap and Exercise Restriction
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise this Warrant if the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when
aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder at such time, the number of
shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock;
provided
,
however
, that
upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Issuer with sixty-one (61) days notice (pursuant to
Section 12
hereof) (the
Waiver Notice
) that such Holder would like to waive this
Section 7
with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant, this
Section 7
will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of
the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice;
provided
,
further
, that during the
sixty-one (61) day period prior to the Expiration Date of this Warrant the Holder may waive this
Section 7 upon providing the Waiver Notice at any time during such sixty-one (61) day period,
provided
,
further
, that any Waiver Notice during the sixty-one (61) day period
prior to the Expiration Date will not be effective until the Expiration Date.
8.

any Holder, the date on which such Mandatorily Registrable Securities may be sold without any
restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a
written opinion letter, addressed to the Companys transfer agent to such effect (the
Effectiveness Period
). If at any time and for any reason, an additional Registration
Statement is required to be filed because at such time the actual number of shares of Common Stock
into which the Preferred Stock is convertible plus the number of shares of Common Stock previously
issued upon such conversion exceeds the number of shares of Mandatorily Registrable Securities
remaining under such Registration Statement, the Company shall have twenty (20) Business Days to
file such additional Registration Statement, and the Company shall use its reasonable commercial
efforts to cause such additional Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission
as soon as possible, but in no event later than sixty (60) Business Days after filing.
(b)
Demand Registration
. If the Company shall receive, at any time after the
Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement pursuant to a mandatory registration under
Section 2(a)
but prior to five (5) years from the date of this Agreement, a written request
from the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrant Shares (the
Initiating Holders
)
that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act, then the Company shall,
within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such
request to all Holders (the
Demand Notice
), and file by the Demand Filing Date a
Registration Statement (the
Demand Registration Statement
) under the Securities Act
covering all Warrant Shares requested to be registered by the Holders in a written request received
by the Company within fifteen (15) days of the mailing of the Demand Notice, provided that
iv
such Registration Statement must be declared effective by the Commission by the Demand
Effectiveness Date. The Demand Registration Statement required hereunder shall be on Form SB-2
(except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Warrant Shares on Form SB-2,
in which case the Demand Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form). The Demand
Registration Statement required hereunder shall contain the Plan of Distribution, attached hereto
as
Exhibit A
(which may be modified to respond to comments, if any, received by the
Commission). The Company shall (i) not permit any securities other than the Warrant Shares to be
included in the Demand Registration Statement and (ii) use its best efforts to cause the Demand
Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible
after the filing thereof, and to keep such Demand Registration Statement continuously effective
under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all Warrant Shares
covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold or (y) the date on which the Warrant
Shares may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to
the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the Companys transfer agent to such
effect (the
Demand Effectiveness Period
). The Company shall not be required to effect a
Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(b): (aa) after the Company has effected
one Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(b), and such registrations have been
declared or ordered effective; and (bb) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days
prior to the Companys good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one
hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration
Statement subject to Section 2(c), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith
all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective.
(c)
Piggyback Registrations Rights
. If at any time when there is not an effective
Registration Statement covering the Warrant Shares, the Company shall determine to prepare and file
with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the
account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4
or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to
equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business
or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the
Company shall send to each Holder of Warrant Shares written notice of such determination and, if
within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, or within such shorter period of time as may
be specified by the Company in such written notice as may be necessary for the Company to comply
with its obligations with respect to the timing of the filing of such registration statement, any
such Holder shall so request in writing (which request shall specify the Warrant Shares intended to
be disposed of by the Purchasers), the Company will cause the registration under the Securities Act
of all Warrant Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holder, to the
extent required to permit the disposition of the Warrant Shares so to be registered;
provided
that
if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to
the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the
Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities,
the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to such Holder and,
thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation
to register any Warrant Shares in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to
pay expenses in accordance with
Section 4
hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination
to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Warrant Shares being registered
pursuant to this
Section 2(c)
for the same period as the delay in registering such other
securities. The Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such
Warrant Shares such Holder requests to be registered;
provided, however
, that the Company shall not
be required to register any Warrant Shares pursuant to this
Section 2(c)
that are eligible
for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public
offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the
inclusion of the Warrant Shares in such registration statement, then if the Company after
consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such
Warrant Shares would materially
v
adversely affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on such
determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the Warrant
Shares of the Holders, then (x) the number of Warrant Shares of the Holders included in such
registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of
Warrant Shares requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation
with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Warrant Shares, or (y) none of the
Warrant Shares of the Holders shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company
after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Warrant Shares;
provided, however
, that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or
entities as well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the
number of Warrant Shares intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of similar
reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 2
, in the event
the Commission does not permit the Company to register all of the Mandatorily Registrable
Securities in a Registration Statement because of the Commissions application of Rule 415, the
Company shall register in such Registration Statement the number of Mandatorily Registrable
Securities as is permitted by the Commission,
provided, however
, that the number of Mandatorily
Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement or any subsequent registration
statement shall be determined in the following order: (i) first, the Shell Shares; (ii) second, the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be registered on a pro
rata basis among the holders of the Preferred Stock, and (iii) third, the Specified Shares shall be
registered on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Specified Shares. In addition, in the event
the Commission does not permit the Company to register all of the Warrant Shares in a Demand
Registration Statement because of the Commissions application of Rule 415, the Company shall
register in such Demand Registration Statement the number of Warrant Shares as is permitted by the
Commission,
provided, however
, that the number of Warrant Shares to be included in such Demand
Registration Statement or any subsequent registration statement shall be determined in the
following order: (i) first, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Underlying
Preferred Stock shall be registered on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Underlying
Preferred Stock, and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
shall be registered on a pro rata basis among the holders of the Warrants. In the event the
Commission does not permit the Company to register all of the Mandatorily Registrable Securities
and/or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) in a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its
reasonable commercial efforts to file subsequent Registration Statements to register the
Mandatorily Registrable Securities and/or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) that were not
registered in such Registration Statement as promptly as possible and in a manner permitted by the
Commission. For purposes of only this
Section 2(d)
,
Filing Date
means with
respect to each subsequent Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto, the later of (i) sixty
(60) Business Days following the sale of substantially all of the Registrable Securities included
in the initial Registration Statement or any subsequent Registration Statement and (ii) six (6)
months following the effective date of the initial Registration Statement or any subsequent
Registration Statement, as applicable, or such earlier date as permitted by the Commission. For
purposes of only this
Section 2(d)
,
Effectiveness Date
means with respect to each
subsequent Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto, the earlier of (A) the one hundred
twentieth (120
th
) Business Day following the filing date of such Registration Statement
(or in the event such Registration Statement receives a full review by the Commission, the one
hundred fortieth (140
th
) Business Day following such filing date) or (B) the date which
is within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Commission informs the Company (i)
that the Commission will not review such Registration Statement or (ii) that the Company may
request the acceleration of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement;
provided
that
, if the Effectiveness Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day which shall be
a legal holiday or a day on which the Commission is authorized or required by law or other
government actions to close, the Effectiveness Date shall be the following Business Day.

thereunder) in accordance with the plan of distribution as set forth on
Exhibit A

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective

Registration Statement is filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be
a review of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such
Registration Statement and (C) with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other
Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the applicable
Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement
covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation or threatening of any
Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties of the
Company contained in any agreement contemplated hereby ceases to be true and correct in all
material respects; (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for
such purpose; and (vi) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the
applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein
vii
by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any 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.
(d) Use its reasonable commercial efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the
withdrawal of, as promptly as possible, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the
applicable Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from
qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction.
(e) If requested by the Holders of a majority in interest of the applicable Registrable
Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the
applicable Registration Statement such information as the Company reasonably agrees should be
included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the
matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.
(f) If requested by any Holder, furnish to such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed
copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all
exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or
incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.
(g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and Special Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the
Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement
thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and subject to the provisions of
Sections 3(m)
and 3(n)
, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable commercial
efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and Special Counsel in
connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or
qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each
such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness
Period or the Demand Effectiveness Period, as applicable, and to do any and all other acts or
things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that the Company shall not be
required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject.
(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement,
which certificates, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement and applicable federal and
state securities laws, shall be free of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable
Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities.
viii
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
Section 3(c)(v)
, as promptly as
possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the
applicable Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither such Registration Statement nor such Prospectus
will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
(k) Use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause all Registrable Securities relating to the
applicable Registration Statement to be listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other
securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed or quoted, as and when required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission and make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end
of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal
year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective
date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.
For the avoidance of doubt, the filing and continued availability of the information on the EDGAR
electronic filing system shall satisfy the requirements of this subsection (l).
(m) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information
regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law to
be disclosed in the applicable Registration Statement, Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such
Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request
without penalty.
If a Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any
securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (if such reference to
such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal
statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement
to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference is
required.
Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will not sell any Registrable Securities under a
Registration Statement until the Company has electronically filed the Prospectus as then amended or
supplemented as contemplated in
Section 3(g)
and notice from the Company that such
Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as
contemplated by
Section 3(c)
.
Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a
notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in
Section
3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv), 3(c)(v) or 3(n)
, such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such
Holders receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement
contemplated by
Section 3(j)
, or until it is advised in writing (the
Advice
) by
the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has
received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
ix
(n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Companys
Board of Directors (the
Board
) reasonably determines not to be in the Companys best
interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, (ii) there is a
significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of
assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer
or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to
be in the Companys best interest to disclose, or (iii) the Company is required to file a
post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement to incorporate the Companys quarterly and
annual reports and audited financial statements on Forms 10-QSB and 10-KSB, then the Company may
postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed
thirty (30) consecutive days;
provided
that the Company may not postpone or suspend filing or
effectiveness of a registration statement under this
Section 3(n)
for more than sixty (60)
days in the aggregate during any three hundred sixty (360) day period;
provided, however
, that no
such postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive thirty (30) day periods arising
out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.
4.
Registration Expenses
.
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the
Company, except as and to the extent specified in this
Section 4
, shall be borne by the
Company whether or not any Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not
any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to any Registration Statement. The fees and expenses
referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and
filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required
to be made with the OTC Bulletin Board and each other securities exchange or market on which
Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed, (B) with respect to filing fees
required to be paid to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (

without limitation, pursuant to FINRA Rule 2710) and (C) in compliance with state securities or
Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Holders in
connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities and determination of the
eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as
the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities may designate)), (ii) printing expenses
(including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of
printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by the holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and

the Holders, in the case of the Special Counsel, up to a maximum amount of $5,000 for each
Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if
the Company desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the
Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the Companys independent public accountants (including the expenses
of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent public accountants of a

employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities
exchange as required hereunder. The Company shall not be responsible for any discounts,

5.
Indemnification
.
(a)
Indemnification by the Company
. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination
of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, managers,
partners, members, shareholders, agents, brokers, investment advisors and employees of each of
them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, managers, partners, members,
shareholders, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
(including, without limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys fees) and expenses
(collectively,
Losses
), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any violation by
the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws, or any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws, or
(ii) untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding Holder or
such other Indemnified Party furnished to the Company by such Holder for use therein, which
information was relied on by the Company for use therein,
provided
,
however
, that
the foregoing indemnity and disbursements, agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus
will not inure to the benefit of any Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 5(a) from whom the
person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering,
if a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company will have furnished any
amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person
to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or
supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.
The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any
Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(b)
Indemnification by Holders
. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, managers, partners, members, shareholders,
officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, managers,
partners, members, shareholders, officers, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, based solely
upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or
in any preliminary prospectus, or based solely upon any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any
Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished by such Holder to the Company
expressly for use therein and that such information was reasonably relied upon by the Company for
use therein and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for the use
in the applicable Registration Statement or such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each
Holder shall be liable under this
Section 5(b)
for only that amount as does not exceed the
net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
applicable Registration Statement.
xi
(c)
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings
. If any Proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
Indemnified Party
), such
Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the
Indemnifying Party
) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof;
provided
that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only)
to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which
determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately
and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party,
and any such party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to
exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in
which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not
have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such
Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are
the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the
extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner
not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten
(10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is
ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder;
provided
that the Indemnified Party shall reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is
finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder).
(d)
Contribution
. If a claim for indemnification under
Section 5(a) or 5(b)
is
due but unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental
authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy
or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying
Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the offering of the Preferred
Stock and Warrants. If, but only if, the allocation provided by the foregoing sentence is not
permitted by applicable law, the allocation of contribution shall be made in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the foregoing sentence but
also the relative fault, as applicable, of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in
connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any
xii
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying
Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by
a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
in
Section 5(c)
, any reasonable attorneys or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by
such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified
for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such
party in accordance with its terms. In no event shall any selling Holder be required to contribute
an amount under this
Section 5(d)
in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder
upon sale of such Holders Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving
rise to such contribution obligation.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this
Section 5(d)
were determined by
pro rata
allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any
liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to the law.
6.
Rule 144
.
As long as any Holder owns Registrable Securities, the Company covenants 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 Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act. As long as any Holder owns Registrable Securities, if the Company is not required to
file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to
the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the
Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis
of such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would
otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would
have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it
will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from
time to time to enable such Person to sell Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, including providing any legal opinions relating to such sale
pursuant to Rule 144. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall delivery to such Holder a
written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such
requirements.
7.
Miscellaneous
.
(a)
Remedies
. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their
obligations under this Agreement, such Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to
being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery
of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The
Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any
losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby
further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach,
it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
xiii
(b)
No Inconsistent Agreements
. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has,
as of the date hereof entered into and currently in effect, 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 is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as disclosed in the Purchase Agreement,
neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement currently
in effect granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Holders of a
majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person
the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act
unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders
set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.
(c)
Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events
. The Company and the
Holders agree that the Holders will suffer damages if a Registration Statement is not filed on or
prior to the Filing Date and/or the Demand Filing Date, as applicable, and not declared effective
by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and/or the Demand Effectiveness Date, as
applicable and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period and/or
the Demand Effectiveness Period, as applicable, or if certain other events occur. The Company and
the Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages
with precision. Accordingly, if (A) the applicable Registration Statement is not filed on or prior
to the Filing Date and/or the Demand Filing Date, as applicable, or (B) the applicable Registration
Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and/or
the Demand Effectiveness Date, as applicable, or (C) the Company fails to respond in writing to any
and all comments from the Commission within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such comments or
(D) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with
Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within five (5) Business Days of the date that the
Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a
Registration Statement will not be reviewed, or is not subject to further review, or (E) the
applicable Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but
thereafter ceases to be effective as to all applicable Registrable Securities, as the case may be,
at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period and/or the Demand Effectiveness
Period, as the case may be, without being succeeded immediately by a subsequent Registration
Statement filed with and declared effective by the Commission in accordance with
Section 2
hereof, or (F) the Company has breached
Section 3(n)
, or (G) trading in the Common Stock
shall be suspended or if the Common Stock is no longer quoted on or is delisted from the OTC
Bulletin Board (or other principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) for any reason for
more than ten (10) Business Days in the aggregate (any such failure or breach being referred to as
an
Event
, and for purposes of clauses (A) and (B) the date on which such Event occurs, or
for purposes of clause (C) the date on which such ten (10) Business Day period is exceeded, or for
purposes of clause (D) the date on which such five (5) Business Day period is exceeded, or for
purposes of clause (E) after more than fifteen (15) Business Days, or for purposes of clause (G)
the date on which such ten (10) Business Day period is exceeded, being referred to as
Event
Date
), the Company shall pay an amount in cash or registered Common Stock (at the Companys
sole discretion) to each Holder, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to one
and a half percent (1.5%) of the amount of the Holders initial investment in the Preferred Stock
and Warrants for each calendar month or portion thereof thereafter from the Event Date until the
applicable Event is cured;
provided, however
, that (x) if there is a delay in a Registration
Statement being declared effective due to comments concerning the Merger or the status of the
Company prior to consummation of the Merger, the penalties pursuant to this Section shall be waived
until such comments have been satisfied, (y) should any Registrable Securities be freely tradable
pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall have no obligation to pay penalties pursuant to this
Section, and (z) in no event shall the amount of liquidated damages payable at any time and from
time to time to any Holder pursuant to this
Section 7(c)
exceed an aggregate of
xiv
twelve percent (12%) of the amount of the Holders initial investment in the Preferred Stock
and Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), if (i) any of the
Events described in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) or (G) shall have occurred, (ii) on or prior to
the applicable Event Date, the Company shall have exercised its rights under
Section 3(n)
hereof and (iii) the postponement or suspension permitted pursuant to such
Section 3(n)
shall remain effective as of such applicable Event Date, then the applicable Event Date shall be
deemed instead to occur on the third Business Day following the termination of such postponement or
suspension. Liquidated damages payable by the Company pursuant to this
Section 7(c)
shall
be payable on the first (1
st
) Business Day of each thirty (30) day period following the
Event Date. In the event that the Company exercises its right to pay the amounts due under this
Section 7(c)
in registered Common Stock, such shares shall be valued in a manner consistent
with valuation of such shares in the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this
Section 7(c)
, the Company may not exercise its right to pay the amounts due under
this
Section 7(c)
in registered Common Stock, unless such shares meet all the requirements
under this Agreement for transferability set forth in this Agreement applicable to shares of Common
Stock registered in accordance with this Agreement.
(d)
Amendments and Waivers
. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions
of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to
departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities outstanding. No
consideration shall be offered or paid to any Holders of Preferred Stock or Holders of the Warrants
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction
Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction
Documents, Holders of Preferred Stock or Holders of the Warrants, as the case may be. The Company
has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Purchasers relating to the terms or
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the
Transaction Documents. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder 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, nor shall any waiver by the Holder of any such right or rights on
any one occasion be deemed a waiver of the same right or rights on any future occasion.
(e)
Notices
. Any notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon hand delivery
or by facsimile 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

(f)
Successors and Assigns
. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
each Holder and its successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder.
(g)
Assignment of Registration Rights
. The rights of each Holder hereunder, including
the right to have the Company register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any Person who
acquires all or a portion of the Registrable Securities to any Person if: (i) the Holder 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) following such transfer or
assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted
under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless such securities are registered
in a Registration Statement under this Agreement (in which case the Company shall be obligated to
amend such Registration Statement to reflect such transfer or assignment) or are otherwise exempt
from registration, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated
by clause (ii) of this Section, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be
bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, each Holder
shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any other person with the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. The rights to assignment
shall apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.
(h)
Termination of Registration Rights
. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any
right provided for in this Agreement following the earlier of: (i) the fifth (5
th
)
anniversary of the date of this Agreement, or (ii) as to any Holder, such earlier time at which all
Registrable Securities held by such
xvi
Holder (and any affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under
Rule 144) can be sold in any ninety (90) day period without registration in compliance with Rule
144 of the Act.
(i)
Underwriter Status
. The Company may not deem any Holder to be an underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act within any Registration Statement without the prior
written consent of such Holder.
(j)
Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed
by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need
not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or
electronic mail transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile or electronic mail signature were the original thereof.
(k)
Governing Law; Jurisdiction
. The parties acknowledge and agree that any claim,

or inconvenient forum and agree not to seek to change venue on these grounds or any other grounds.
The parties hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, shall be entitled to reimbursement for
reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial
by jury. Nothing in this
Section 7(k)
shall affect or limit any right to serve process in
any other manner permitted by law.

. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive

Additional Purchaser, shall be added to Schedule I attached hereto and deemed a Purchaser
hereunder.
(n)
Severability
. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event
that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or
part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement and such provision shall be
reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such
provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and
enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

EXHIBIT A
Plan of Distribution
The selling security holders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock
being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which
shares of our common stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods
when disposing of shares:
|
|
|
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 resales by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
|
|
to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Commission;
|
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of
such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
|
|
|
a combination of any of these methods of sale; and
|
|
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(
Securities Act
), if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling security
holders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of
shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling security holders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin
provisions of customer agreements. If a selling security holder defaults on a margin loan, the
broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security
holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in
amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of
customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we
would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names
of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that
are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we
set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements
in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The selling security holders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution
of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These
provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the
shares by, the selling security holders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M,
persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in
market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time
prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All
of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
If any of the shares of common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are
transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent holders could not
use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such
holders. We offer no assurance as to whether any of the selling security holders will sell all or
any portion of the shares offered under this prospectus.
We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the
shares being offered under this prospectus. However, each selling security holder and purchaser is
responsible for paying any discounts, commissions and similar selling expenses they incur.
We and the selling security holders have agreed to indemnify one another against certain
losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this prospectus, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.

the addendum or addenda described in the Basic Lease Information, and this Lease Agreement are and
shall be construed as a single instrument and are referred to herein as the
Lease
.

and contains the square footage specified in the Basic Lease Information. The location and
dimensions of the Premises are depicted on
Exhibit A
, which is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference; provided, however, that any statement of square footage set forth in this

Paragraph 4(d)(iii) below, no economic terms based thereon shall be subject to revision whether or
not the actual square footage is more or less. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right (in
common with the other tenants, Landlord and any other person granted use by Landlord) to use the
Common Areas (as hereinafter defined), except that, with respect to the Projects parking areas
(the

No easement for light or air is incorporated in the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, the term
Common Areas

of Landlord, Tenant and other tenants of the Project and their respective employees, guests and
invitees. Tenant understands and agrees that the Premises shall be leased by Tenant in its as-is
condition without any improvements or alterations by Landlord.
Landlord has the right, in its sole discretion, from time to time, to: (a) make changes to
the Common Areas, the Building and/or the Project, including, without limitation, changes in the
location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, Parking Areas, ingress,

remove existing buildings or improvements therefrom; (d) use the Common
1

or any portion thereof; and (e) do and perform any other acts, alter or expand, or make any other
changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas, the Building and/or the Project as Landlord
may, in its sole discretion, deem to be appropriate. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord
reserves the right from time to time to install, use, maintain, repair, relocate and replace pipes,
ducts, conduits, wires, and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to the Premises or to
other parts of the Building which are above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within
the walls and in the central core areas of the Building which are located within the Premises or
located elsewhere in the Building. In connection with any of the foregoing activities of Landlord,
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts while conducting such activities to minimize any interference
with Tenants use of the Premises.
No rights to any view or to light or air over any property, whether belonging to Landlord or
any other person, are granted to Tenant by this Lease. If at any time any windows of the Premises
are temporarily darkened or the light or view therefrom is obstructed, the same shall be without
liability to Landlord and without any reduction or diminution of Tenants obligations under this
Lease.

indirectly, by any cost, charge or expense payable hereunder by Tenant or by others in connection
with the Premises, the Building and/or the Project or any part thereof. The provisions of this
Paragraph 4(b) for the payment of Tenants Proportionate Share(s) of Expenses (as hereinafter
defined) are intended to pass on to Tenant its share of all such costs and expenses. In addition
to the Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in accordance with this Paragraph 4, Tenants
Proportionate Share(s) of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with
the ownership, operation, maintenance, management and repair of the Premises,
2

), accounting, auditing, billing, postage, salaries
and benefits for clerical and supervisory employees, whether located on the Project or off-site,

accepted commercial real estate accounting practices, and (ii) with respect to all sums payable by
Tenant as Additional Rent under this Paragraph 4(b) for earthquake insurance deductibles, to the

then such deductible shall be allocated among such capital and non-capital items and the pro rata
share of the deductible payable by Tenant shall limited to the costs of the damage which are
allocable to the remainder of the Term (including any renewal term) based upon the costs of the

date of this Lease.
(d)
Payment of Additional Rent.
(i) Upon commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall submit to Tenant an estimate of monthly
Additional Rent for the period between the Commencement Date and the following December 31 and
Tenant shall pay such estimated Additional Rent on a monthly basis, in advance, on the first day of
each month. Tenant shall continue to make said monthly payments until notified by Landlord of a
change therein. If at any time or times Landlord reasonably determines that the amounts payable
under Paragraph 4(b) for the current year will vary from Landlords estimate given to Tenant,
Landlord, by notice to Tenant, may revise the estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by
Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate. By April 1 of each calendar year,
Landlord shall endeavor to provide to Tenant a statement (an
Expense Statement
) showing the
actual Additional Rent due to Landlord for the prior calendar year, to be prorated during the first
year from the Commencement Date. If the total of the monthly payments of Additional Rent that
Tenant has made for the prior calendar year is less than the actual Additional Rent chargeable to
Tenant for such prior calendar year, then Tenant shall pay the difference in a lump sum within
thirty (30) days after receipt of such Expense Statement from Landlord. Any overpayment by Tenant
of Additional Rent for the prior calendar year shall be credited towards the Additional Rent next
due, or returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days if no further Additional Rent is due.
(ii) Landlords then-current annual operating and capital budgets for the Building and the
Project or the pertinent part thereof shall be used for purposes of calculating Tenants monthly
payment of estimated Additional Rent for the current year, subject to adjustment as provided above.
Landlord shall make the final determination of Additional Rent for the year in which this Lease
terminates as soon as possible after termination of such year. Even though the Term has expired
and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Tenant shall remain liable for payment of any amount due to
Landlord in excess of the estimated Additional Rent previously paid by Tenant, and, conversely,
Landlord shall promptly return to Tenant any overpayment. Failure of Landlord to submit Expense
Statements as called for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenants obligation to pay
Additional Rent as herein provided.
(iii) With respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Building, Tenants
Proportionate Share
shall be the percentage set forth in the Basic Lease Information as Tenants
Proportionate Share of the Building, as adjusted by Landlord from time to time for a remeasurement
of or changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Building, whether such changes in size
are due to an addition to or a sale or conveyance of a portion of the Building or
6
otherwise. With respect to Expenses which Landlord allocates to the Project as a whole or to
only a portion of the Project, Tenants
Proportionate Share
shall be, with respect to Expenses
which Landlord allocates to the Project as a whole, the percentage set forth in the Basic Lease
Information as Tenants Proportionate Share of the Project and, with respect to Expenses which
Landlord allocates to only a portion of the Project, a percentage calculated by Landlord from time
to time in its reasonable discretion and furnished to Tenant in writing, in either case as adjusted
by Landlord from time to time for a remeasurement of or changes in the physical size of the
Premises or the Project, whether such changes in size are due to an addition to or a sale or
conveyance of a portion of the Project or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may
equitably adjust Tenants Proportionate Share(s) for all or part of any item of expense or cost
reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the
Premises or only a portion of the Building and/or the Project or that varies with the occupancy of
the Building and/or the Project. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant
understands and agrees that Landlord shall have the right to adjust Tenants Proportionate Share(s)
of any Utility Expenses based upon Tenants use of the Utilities or similar services as reasonably
estimated and determined by Landlord based upon factors such as size of the Premises and intensity
of use of such Utilities by Tenant such that Tenant shall pay the portion of such charges
reasonably consistent with Tenants use of such Utilities and similar services. If Tenant disputes
any such estimate or determination of Utility Expenses, then Tenant shall either pay the estimated
amount or cause the Premises to be separately metered at Tenants sole expense.
(e)
Tenants Right to Audit Expenses.
Provided that Tenant is not in Default under the terms
of this Lease (nor is any event occurring which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice,
or both, would constitute a Default hereunder), then Tenant shall have the right within ninety (90)
days after the delivery of the relevant Expense Statement to review and audit Landlords books and
records regarding such Expense Statement for the sole purpose of determining the accuracy of such
Expense Statement. Such review or audit shall be performed by a nationally recognized accounting
firm that calculates its fees with respect to hours actually worked and that does not discount its
time or rate (as opposed to a calculation based upon percentage of recoveries or other incentive
arrangement), shall take place during normal business hours in the office of Landlord or Landlords
property manager and shall be completed within three (3) business days after the commencement
thereof. If Tenant does not so review or audit Landlords books and records, Landlords Expense
Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant. In the event that Tenant determines on the basis
of its review of Landlords books and records that the amount of Expenses paid by Tenant pursuant
to this Paragraph 4 for the period covered by such Expense Statement is less than or greater than
the actual amount properly payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly
pay any deficiency to Landlord or, if Landlord concurs with the results of such audit in its
reasonable discretion, Landlord shall promptly refund any excess payment to Tenant, as the case may
be.
(f)
General Payment Terms.
The Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord hereunder, including, without limitation, any late charges assessed pursuant to
Paragraph 6 below and any interest assessed pursuant to Paragraph 45 below, are referred to as the
Rent
. All Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America. Checks are to be
made payable to Harbor Investment Partners and shall be mailed to: The Harbor, 0391, P.O. Box
3900, Los Angeles, California 90084 or to such other person or
7
place as Landlord may, from time to time, designate to Tenant in writing. The Rent for any
fractional part of a calendar month at the commencement or termination of the Term shall be a
prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon a thirty (30) day month.
5.
Utility Expenses
(a) Tenant shall pay the cost of all water, sewer use, sewer discharge fees and permit costs
and sewer connection fees, gas, heat, electricity, refuse pick-up, janitorial service, telephone
and all materials and services or other utilities (collectively,
Utilities
) billed or metered
separately to the Premises and/or Tenant, together with all taxes, assessments, charges and
penalties added to or included within such cost. Tenant shall be responsible for arranging for
janitorial service and all Utilities furnished to the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that the
Premises, the Building and/or the Project may become subject to the rationing of Utility services
or restrictions on Utility use as required by a public utility company, governmental agency or
other similar entity having jurisdiction thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its tenancy
and occupancy hereunder shall be subject to such rationing or restrictions as may be imposed upon
Landlord, Tenant, the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, and Tenant shall in no event be
excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be kept or performed by Tenant by reason of
any such rationing or restrictions. Tenant agrees to comply with energy conservation programs
implemented by Landlord consistent with such imposed rationing, restrictions or Laws.
(b) Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damage to property caused by or
resulting from any variation, interruption, or failure of Utilities due to any cause whatsoever, or
from failure to make any repairs or perform any maintenance. No temporary interruption or failure
of such services incident to the making of repairs, alterations, improvements, or due to accident,
strike, or conditions or other events shall be deemed an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant from
any of its obligations hereunder. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage to
the Premises or for any loss, damage or injury to any property therein or thereon occasioned by
bursting, rupture, leakage or overflow of any plumbing or other pipes (including, without
limitation, water, steam, and/or refrigerant lines), sprinklers, tanks, drains, drinking fountains
or washstands, or other similar cause in, above, upon or about the Premises, the Building, or the
Project.
6.
Late Charge
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that late
payment to Landlord of Rent, or other amounts due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. If
any Rent or other sums due from Tenant are not received by Landlord or by Landlords designated
agent within five (5) days after their due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge
equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount, plus any costs and attorneys fees incurred by
Landlord by reason of Tenants failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder;
provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to no more than three (3) notices of late payment
and a five (5) day cure period during the Term (not more than once in any twelve month period)
before any such late charge accrues. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that such late charges
represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenants
late payment and shall not be construed as a penalty.
8
Landlords acceptance of such late charges shall not constitute a waiver of Tenants default
with respect to such overdue amount or estop Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and
remedies granted under this Lease.

Security Deposit
(a)
Cash Security
(i) Concurrently with Tenants execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the
Security Deposit specified in the Basic Lease Information as security for the full and faithful
performance of each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease. Landlord may use, apply
or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit as may be reasonably necessary (a) to
remedy Tenants default in the payment of any Rent, (b) to repair damage to the Premises caused by
Tenant, (c) to clean the Premises upon termination of this Lease, if Tenant fails to surrender the
Premises to Landlord in the condition required by this Lease, (d) to reimburse Landlord for the
payment of any amount which Landlord may reasonably spend or be required to spend by reason of
Tenants default, or (e) to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may
suffer by reason of Tenants default. Should Tenant faithfully and fully comply with all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of
the Term, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant or, at the option
of Landlord, to the last assignee of Tenants interest in this Lease. Landlord shall not be
required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be
entitled to any interest on such deposit. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of
said deposit, within five (5) days after written demand therefor Tenant shall deposit cash with
Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full extent of the above
amount, and Tenants failure to do so shall be a Default under this Lease. In the event Landlord
transfers its interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the then remaining amount of the
Security Deposit to Landlords successor in interest, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further
liability to Tenant with respect to such Security Deposit.
(b)
Letter of Credit.
(i) In lieu of the cash security required pursuant to Paragraph 7(a) above, Tenant may deliver
to Landlord, at Tenants sole cost and expense, the Letter of Credit described below in the amount
of the Security Deposit specified in the Basic Lease Information (the
LC Face Amount
) as security
for Tenants performance of all of Tenants covenants and obligations under this Lease; provided,
however, that neither the Letter of Credit nor any Letter of Credit Proceeds (as defined below)
shall be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance payment of any other kind, or a measure of
Landlords damages upon Tenants breach of or default under this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall
be maintained in effect from the date hereof through the date that is sixty (60) days after the
Expiration Date (the
LC Termination Date
). On the LC Termination Date, Landlord shall return to
Tenant the Letter of Credit and any Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord (other than
those Letter of Credit Proceeds Landlord is entitled to retain under the terms of this Paragraph
7(b)(i)); provided, however, that in no event
9
shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its
obligations hereunder. Landlord shall not be required to segregate the Letter of Credit Proceeds
from its other funds and no interest shall accrue or be payable to Tenant with respect thereto.
Landlord may (but shall not be required to) draw upon the Letter of Credit and use the proceeds
thereof (the
Letter of Credit Proceeds
) or any portion thereof, to the extent reasonably required
(i) to remedy Tenants Default for non-payment of Rent and to cure any other Default under this
Lease, and in either case to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage Landlord incurs as a result
of such Default, (ii) to repair damage to the Premises caused by Tenant, (iii) to clean the
Premises upon termination of this Lease, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises to Landlord in
the condition required by this Lease, and (iv) to reimburse Landlord for the payment of any amount
which Landlord may for any purpose spend or be required to spend by reason of Tenants Default, it
being understood that any use of the Letter of Credit Proceeds shall not constitute a bar or
defense to any of Landlords remedies set forth in Paragraph 25 below. Landlord shall have the
additional right to draw on the Letter of Credit in accordance with Paragraph 7(b)(ii) below. In
any such event and upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the amount of the Letter
of Credit Proceeds so utilized by Landlord and the particular purpose for which such amount was
applied, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a
replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the full LC Face Amount. Tenants failure to
deliver such replacement Letter of Credit to Landlord within ten (10) days of Landlords notice
shall constitute an immediate Default hereunder. In the event Landlord transfers its interest in
this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit and any Letter of Credit Proceeds then
held by Landlord to Landlords successor in interest, and thereafter Landlord shall have no further
liability to Tenant with respect to such Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Proceeds.
(ii) As used herein, Letter of Credit shall mean an unconditional and irrevocable standby
letter of credit (herein referred to as the
Letter of Credit
) issued by Silicon Valley Bank, or
another major national bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, with assets of
not less than Fifty Billion Dollars ($50,000,000,000.00) and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord (the
Bank
), naming Landlord as beneficiary, in the amount of the LC Face Amount, and
otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall be
for an initial one-year term, shall automatically renew during the Term (without the necessity of
additional documentation or action on the part of any party), and shall provide: (i) that Landlord
may make partial and multiple draws thereunder, up to the full LC Face Amount, (ii) that Landlord
may draw upon the Letter of Credit up to the full amount thereof and the Bank will pay to Landlord
the amount of each such draw upon receipt by the Bank of a sight draft signed by Landlord and
accompanied by a written certification from Landlord to the Bank stating that Landlord is entitled
to draw on the Letter of Credit, and (iii) that the beneficial interest under the Letter of Credit
shall be freely transferable one or more times and, therefore, in the event of Landlords (or any
successor Landlords) assignment or other transfer of its interest in this Lease, the Letter of
Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord (or any successor Landlord), without recourse and
without the payment of any fee or consideration, to the assignee or transferee of such interest and
the Bank shall confirm the same to Landlord (or such successor) and such assignee or transferee.
Any and all costs and fees associated with the set-up or general maintenance Letter of Credit shall
be at the sole cost of Tenant.
10
(iii) In the event that the Bank shall at any time notify Landlord that the Letter of Credit
shall not be renewed beyond the next expiry date, then unless Tenant shall, not less than thirty
(30) days prior to such expiry date, deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit in the full
LC Face Amount and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, Landlord shall be entitled
to draw on the Letter of Credit and shall hold the proceeds of such draw as Letter of Credit
Proceeds pursuant to Paragraph 7(b)(i) above. The Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that,
to be effective, any notice on non-renewal given by the Bank must be provided by the Bank
concurrently to Landlord, Landlords property manager and Landlords counsel (at the address of
each such party specified in the Letter of Credit).
(c) Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and the benefits of Section 1950.7 of the
California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law now in force or that become in force after
the date of execution of this Lease, only to the extent that it provides that Landlord may claim
from a security deposit or Letter of Credit Proceeds only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy
defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant, or to clean the Premises upon
termination of this Lease, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition
required by this Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums
reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other foreseeable or unforeseeable loss or
damage caused by the act or omission of Tenant or Tenants Agents.
8.
Possession
(a)
Tenants Right of Possession.
Subject to Paragraph 8(b), Tenant shall be entitled to
possession of the Premises upon commencement of the Term.
(b)
Early Occupancy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall
have the right to enter and occupy the Premises upon mutual execution hereof for the sole purpose
of installing phone, data, equipment and otherwise preparing the Premises for Tenants occupancy,
provided that such entry shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease
including, without limitation, Tenants insurance and indemnity obligations contained herein,
excluding only the obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent.
9.
Use of Premises
(a)
Permitted Use.
The use of the Premises by Tenant and Tenants agents, advisors,
employees, partners, shareholders, directors, invitees and independent contractors (collectively,
Tenants Agents
) shall be solely for the Permitted Use specified in the Basic Lease Information
and for no other use. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odor, smoke, dust,
gas, noise or vibration to emanate from or near the Premises. The Premises shall not be used to
create any nuisance or trespass, for any illegal purpose, for any purpose not permitted by Laws,
for any purpose that would invalidate the insurance or increase the premiums for insurance on the
Premises, the Building or the Project or for any purpose or in any manner that would interfere with
other tenants use or occupancy of the Project. If any of Tenants office machines or equipment
disturb any other tenant in the Building, then Tenant shall provide adequate insulation or take
such other action as may be necessary to eliminate the noise or disturbance. Tenant agrees to pay
to Landlord, as Additional Rent, any increases in premiums on policies resulting from Tenants
Permitted Use or any other use or action by Tenant or Tenants Agents which
11
increases Landlords premiums or requires additional coverage by Landlord to insure the
Premises. Tenant agrees not to overload the floor(s) of the Building.
(b)
Compliance with Governmental Regulations and Private Restrictions.
Tenant and Tenants
Agents shall, at Tenants expense, faithfully observe and comply with (i) all municipal, state and
federal laws, statutes, codes, rules, regulations, ordinances, requirements, and orders
(collectively,
Laws
), now in force or which may hereafter be in force pertaining to the Premises
and such compliance is necessary due to Tenants specific use of the Premises, the Building or the
Project or any Alterations; provided, however, that except as provided in Paragraph 9(c) below,
Tenant shall not be required to make or, (subject to such limitations as provided in Paragraph 4
above) pay for, structural changes to the Premises or the Building not related to Tenants specific
use of the Premises unless the requirement for such changes is imposed as a result of any
improvements or additions made or proposed to be made at Tenants request; (ii) all recorded
covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project (
Private Restrictions
) now in force
or which may hereafter be in force; and (iii) any and all rules and regulations set forth in
Exhibit B
and any other rules and regulations now or hereafter promulgated by Landlord related to
parking or the operation of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project (collectively, the
Rules
and Regulations
). The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, or the admission of Tenant
in any action or proceeding against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant
has violated any such Laws or Private Restrictions, shall be conclusive of that fact as between
Landlord and Tenant.
(c)
Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act.
Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and
acknowledge that the Premises, the Building and/or the Project may be subject to, among other Laws,
the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law codified at 42 U.S.C. §
12101
et seq.
, including, but not limited to, Title III thereof, and all regulations and guidelines
related thereto, together with any and all laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes and statutes
now or hereafter enacted by local or state agencies having jurisdiction thereof, including all
requirements of Title 24 of the State of California, as the same may be in effect on the date of
this Lease and may be hereafter modified, amended or supplemented (collectively, the
ADA
).
Subject to reimbursement pursuant to Paragraph 4 above, if any barrier removal work or other work
is required to the Building, the Common Areas or the Project under the ADA, then such work shall be
the responsibility of Landlord; provided, however, that if such work is required under the ADA as a
result of Tenants particular use of the Premises or any work or Alteration (as hereinafter
defined) made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, then such work shall be performed by

accident or occurrence and in the amount of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for

conditioning, fixed partitioning, drapery, wall covering and paneling, built-in cabinet work and
carpeting installations made by Tenant, together with all property that has become an integral part
of the Premises or the Building, shall at once be and become the property of Landlord, and shall
not be deemed trade fixtures or Tenants Property. If requested by Landlord, Tenant will pay,
prior to the commencement of construction, an amount determined by Landlord necessary to cover the
costs of demolishing such Alterations and/or the cost of returning the Premises and the Building to
its condition prior to such Alterations.
(d) No private telephone systems and/or other related computer or telecommunications equipment
or lines may be installed without Landlords prior written consent. If Landlord gives such

which generate an undue amount of heat in the Premises, or if Tenant plans to use any high-power

Landlord to do so, until Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the date Tenant desires to
15
commence construction or installation of such Alterations and Landlord has approved such date
in writing, in order that Landlord may post appropriate notices to avoid any liability to
contractors or material suppliers for payment for Tenants improvements. Tenant will at all times
permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion of work.
(g) Tenant shall not, at any time prior to or during the Term, directly or indirectly employ,
or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer in the Premises, whether in
connection with any Alteration or otherwise, if it is reasonably foreseeable that such employment
will materially interfere or cause any material conflict with other contractors, mechanics, or
laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Project by Landlord, Tenant
or others. In the event of any such interference or conflict, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord,
shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave
the Project immediately.

particularly in areas where moisture accumulation is common.

Premises, the Building and/or the Project caused by or created due to any act, omission, negligence
or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenants Agents and to restore the Premises, the Building and/or
the Project, as applicable, to the condition existing prior to the occurrence of such damage;
provided, however, that in the event Landlord elects to perform such repair and restoration work,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection therewith. Landlords obligation hereunder to repair and maintain is subject to the
condition precedent that Landlord shall have received written notice of the need for such repairs
and maintenance and a reasonable time to perform such repair and maintenance. Tenant shall
promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition known to it which Landlord is
required to repair.
(c)

not be cancelable or otherwise subject to modification except after thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Landlord and the other parties named as additional insureds as required in this
Lease (except for cancellation for nonpayment of premium, in which event cancellation shall not
take effect until at least ten (10) days notice has been given to Landlord).
16.
Indemnification
(a)
Of Landlord.
Tenant shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and
Landlords Agents against and from any and all claims, suits, liabilities, judgments, costs,
demands, causes of action and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees,
costs and disbursements) arising from (i) the use of the Premises, the Building or the Project by
Tenant or Tenants Agents, or from any activity done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or Tenants
Agents in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project, including any mold or Mold
Conditions, and (ii) any act, neglect, fault, willful misconduct or omission of Tenant or Tenants
Agents, or from any breach or default in the terms of this Lease by Tenant or Tenants Agents, and
(iii) any action or proceeding brought on account of any matter in items (i) or (ii). If any
action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such claim, upon notice from
Landlord, Tenant shall defend the same at Tenants expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, Tenant hereby releases Landlord and
Landlords Agents from responsibility for, waives its entire claim of recovery for and assumes all
risk of (A) damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Premises, the Building or the
Project from any cause whatsoever (except that which is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or Landlords Agents or by the failure of Landlord to observe any of the
terms and conditions of this Lease, if such failure has persisted for an unreasonable period of
time after written notice of such failure), or (B) loss resulting from business interruption or
loss of income at the Premises. The obligations of Tenant under this Paragraph 16 shall survive
any termination of this Lease.
(b)
Of Tenant.
Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant against and from any and all
claims, liabilities, judgments, costs, demands, causes of action and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) arising from (i) the gross negligence of Landlord or from
any breach or default in the terms of this Lease by Landlord (if such breach or default has
persisted for an unreasonable period of time after written notice of such failure), and (ii) any
action or proceeding brought on account of any matter in item (i). If any action or proceeding is
brought against Tenant by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Tenant, Landlord shall defend
the same at Landlords expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant. The obligations of
Landlord under this Paragraph 16(b) shall survive any termination of this Lease.
(c)
No Impairment of Insurance.
The foregoing indemnities shall not relieve any insurance
carrier of its obligations under any policies required to be carried by either party pursuant to
this Lease, to the extent that such policies cover the peril or occurrence that results in the
claim that is subject to the foregoing indemnity.
17.
Subrogation
Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive any claim against the other and its Agents for any
loss or damage to any of their property located on or about the Premises, the Building or the
19
Project that is caused by or results from perils covered by property insurance carried by the
respective parties, to the extent of the proceeds of such insurance actually received with respect
to such loss or damage, whether or not due to the negligence of the other party or its Agents.
Because the foregoing waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation to an
insurance company or any other person, each party now agrees to immediately give to its insurer
written notice of the terms of these mutual waivers and shall have their insurance policies
endorsed to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage because of these waivers. Nothing
in this Paragraph 17 shall relieve a party of liability to the other for failure to carry insurance
required by this Lease.
18.
Signs
Tenant shall not place or permit to be placed in, upon, or about the Premises, the Building or
the Project any exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, advertisements or
notices, or erect or install any signs, windows or door lettering, placards, decorations, or
advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior the Premises without obtaining
Landlords prior written consent or without complying with Landlords signage criteria, as the same
may be modified by Landlord from time to time, and with all applicable Laws, and will not conduct,
or permit to be conducted, any sale by auction on the Premises or otherwise on the Project. Tenant
shall remove any sign, advertisement or notice placed on the Premises, the Building or the Project
by Tenant upon the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall
repair any damage or injury to the Premises, the Building or the Project caused thereby, all at
Tenants expense. If any signs are not removed, or necessary repairs not made, Landlord shall have
the right to remove the signs and repair any damage or injury to the Premises, the Building or the
Project at Tenants sole cost and expense.
19.
Free From Liens
Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and the Project free from any liens arising out
of any work performed, material furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. In the event
that Tenant shall not, within twenty (20) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the
lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have in
addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law the right but not the obligation to cause
same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving
rise to such lien. All such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection
therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys fees) shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant
upon demand. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises
any notices permitted or required by law or that Landlord shall deem proper for the protection of
Landlord, the Premises, the Building and the Project, from mechanics and materialmens liens.
Tenant shall give to Landlord at least five (5) business days prior written notice of commencement
of any repair or construction on the Premises.
20.
Entry By Landlord
Tenant shall permit Landlord and Landlords Agents to enter into and upon the Premises at all
reasonable times, upon reasonable notice (except in the case of an emergency, for which no notice
shall be required), and subject to Tenants reasonable security arrangements, for the
20
purpose of inspecting the same or showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or
tenants or to alter, improve, maintain and repair the Premises or the Building as required or
permitted by Landlord under the terms hereof, or for any other business purpose, without any rebate
of Rent and without any liability to Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the
Premises thereby occasioned (except for actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord); and Tenant shall permit Landlord to post notices of
non-responsibility and ordinary for sale or for lease signs. No such entry shall be construed
to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant
from the Premises. Landlord may temporarily close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other
facilities without liability to Tenant by reason of such closure in the case of an emergency and
when Landlord otherwise deems such closure necessary.
21.
Destruction and Damage
(a) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage
insurance, Landlord shall, at Landlords option:
(i) In the event of total destruction (which shall mean destruction or damage in excess of
twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof) of the Premises, elect either to
commence promptly to repair and restore the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to
completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; or not to repair or
restore the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate. Landlord shall give Tenant
written notice of its intention within sixty (60) days after the date (the
Casualty Discovery
Date
) Landlord obtains actual knowledge of such destruction. If Landlord elects not to restore
the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such total
destruction.
(ii) In the event of a partial destruction (which shall mean destruction or damage to an
extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof) of the Premises
for which Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost to repair and
restore such partial destruction and, if the damage thereto is such that the Premises may be
substantially repaired or restored to its condition existing immediately prior to such damage or
destruction within one hundred eighty (180) days from the Casualty Discovery Date, Landlord shall
commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair and restoration, in which event this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. If such repair and restoration requires longer than one
hundred eighty (180) days or if the insurance proceeds therefor (plus any amounts Tenant may elect
or is obligated to contribute) are not sufficient to cover the cost of such repair and restoration,
Landlord may elect either to so repair and restore, in which event this Lease shall continue in
full force and effect, or not to repair or restore, in which event this Lease shall terminate. In
either case, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention within sixty (60) days
after the Casualty Discovery Date. If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease
shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such partial destruction.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph, in the event of
damage to the Premises occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, Landlord or Tenant
may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice of such election given to the other within
thirty (30) days after the Casualty Discovery Date.
21
(b) If the Premises are damaged by any peril not covered by extended coverage insurance, and
the cost to repair such damage exceeds any amount Tenant may agree to contribute, Landlord may
elect either to commence promptly to repair and restore the Premises and prosecute the same
diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; or not
to repair or restore the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate. Landlord shall give
Tenant written notice of its intention within sixty (60) days after the Casualty Discovery Date.
If Landlord elects not to restore the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of
the date on which Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord, except that if the
damage to the Premises materially impairs Tenants ability to continue its business operations in
the Premises, then this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date such damage
occurred.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 21, Landlord shall have the
option to terminate this Lease, exercisable by notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the
Casualty Discovery Date, in each of the following instances:
(i) If more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value of the Building or the
Project is damaged or destroyed, regardless of whether or not the Premises are destroyed.
(ii) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed and the
repair and restoration of such damage requires longer than one hundred eighty (180) days from the
Casualty Discovery Date.
(iii) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed and the
insurance proceeds therefor are not sufficient to cover the costs of repair and restoration.
(iv) If the Building or the Project or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed during the
last twelve (12) months of the Term.
(d) In the event of repair and restoration as herein provided, the monthly installments of
Base Rent shall be abated proportionately in the ratio which Tenants use of the Premises is
impaired during the period of such repair or restoration; provided, however, that Tenant shall not
be entitled to such abatement to the extent that such damage or destruction resulted from the
criminal acts or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenants Agents. Except as expressly provided in
the immediately preceding sentence with respect to abatement of Base Rent, Tenant shall have no
claim against Landlord for, and hereby releases Landlord and Landlords Agents from responsibility
for and waives its entire claim of recovery for any cost, loss or expense suffered or incurred by
Tenant as a result of any damage to or destruction of the Premises, the Building or the Project or
the repair or restoration thereof, including, without limitation, any cost, loss or expense
resulting from any loss of use of the whole or any part of the Premises, the Building or the
Project and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair or restoration.
(e) If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as herein provided, Landlord
shall repair or restore only the initial tenant improvements, if any, constructed by Landlord in
the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease, substantially to their condition existing
immediately
22
prior to the occurrence of the damage or destruction; and Tenant shall promptly repair and
restore, at Tenants expense, Tenants Alterations which were not constructed by Landlord.
(f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(2) and Section
1933(4) which permit termination of a lease upon destruction of the leased premises, and the
provisions of any similar law now or hereinafter in effect, and the provisions of this Paragraph 21
shall govern exclusively in case of such destruction.
22.
Condemnation
(a) If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of either the Premises, the Building or the Project
or the Parking Areas is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful governmental
power or authority, by exercise of the right of appropriation, inverse condemnation, condemnation
or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking (each such event being referred to as a
Condemnation
), Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease as of the date title vests in
the condemning party. If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises is taken and if the
Premises remaining after such Condemnation and any repairs by Landlord would be untenantable for
the conduct of Tenants business operations, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as
of the date title vests in the condemning party. If either party elects to terminate this Lease as
provided herein, such election shall be made by written notice to the other party given within
thirty (30) days after the nature and extent of such Condemnation have been finally determined. If
neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease to the extent permitted above, Landlord
shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises, to the extent of any Condemnation award received by
Landlord, to substantially the same condition as existed prior to such Condemnation, allowing for
the reasonable effects of such Condemnation, and a proportionate abatement shall be made to the
Base Rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the portion of the floor area of the
Premises (adjusted for any increase thereto resulting from any reconstruction) of which, Tenant is
deprived on account of such Condemnation and restoration, as reasonably determined by Landlord.
Except as expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to abatement of
Base Rent, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for, and hereby releases Landlord and
Landlords Agents from responsibility for and waives its entire claim of recovery for any cost,
loss or expense suffered or incurred by Tenant as a result of any Condemnation or the repair or
restoration of the Premises, the Building or the Project or the Parking Areas following such
Condemnation, including, without limitation, any cost, loss or expense resulting from any loss of
use of the whole or any part of the Premises, the Building, the Project or the Parking Areas and/or
any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Condemnation, repair or restoration. The
provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, which allows either party to
petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the
Premises, the Building or the Project or the Parking Areas, and any other applicable law now or
hereafter enacted, are hereby waived by Tenant.
(b) Landlord shall be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards, or
any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with any Condemnation, and
Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired Term of this Lease or
otherwise; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award separately
allocated by the condemning authority to Tenant for Tenants relocation
23
expenses or the value of Tenants Property (specifically excluding fixtures, Alterations and
other components of the Premises which under this Lease or by law are or at the expiration of the
Term will become the property of Landlord), provided that such award does not reduce any award
otherwise allocable or payable to Landlord.
23.
Assignment and Subletting
(a) Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law, (i) mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or
encumber this Lease or any interest herein, (ii) assign or transfer this Lease or any interest
herein, sublease the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto,
or allow any other person (the employees and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the
Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that (A) Tenant is not then in
Default under this Lease nor is any event then occurring which with the giving of notice or the
passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default hereunder, and (B) the proposed transfer is
not an assignment or a sublease under a previous assignment or an existing sublease. Any Sale
Transaction (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed to be an assignment under this Lease. When
Tenant requests Landlords consent to such assignment or subletting, it shall notify Landlord in
writing of the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the nature and character
of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and shall provide (1) a fully completed
Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate for such assignee or subtenant in the form of
Exhibit D
hereto, and (2) current and prior financial statements for the proposed assignee or subtenant,
which financial statements shall be audited to the extent available and shall in any event be
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Tenant shall also provide
Landlord with a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment agreement, including all material terms
and conditions thereof. Landlord shall have the option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days of
receipt of the foregoing, to (w) terminate this Lease as of the commencement date stated in the
proposed sublease or assignment, (x) sublease or take an assignment, as the case may be, from
Tenant of the interest, or any portion thereof, in this Lease and/or the Premises that Tenant
proposes to assign or sublease, on the same terms and conditions as stated in the proposed sublet
or assignment agreement, (y) consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, or (z) refuse its
consent to the proposed assignment or sublease, provided that such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld so long as Tenant is not then in Default under this Lease nor is any event
then occurring which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a
Default hereunder. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease or sublease or take an
assignment from Tenant of the interest, or portion thereof, in this Lease and/or the Premises that
Tenant proposes to assign or sublease as provided in the foregoing clauses (w) and (x),
respectively, then Landlord shall have the additional right to negotiate directly with Tenants
proposed assignee or subtenant and to enter into a direct lease or occupancy agreement with such
party on such terms as shall be acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, and
Tenant hereby waives any claims against Landlord related thereto, including, without limitation,
any claims for any compensation or profit related to such lease or occupancy agreement. For
purposes of this Lease, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(i)
Capital Stock
means, with respect to any Person, any and all shares, interests,
participations, rights in, or other equivalents (however designated and whether voting or non-
24
voting) of, such Persons capital stock and any and all rights, warrants or options
exchangeable for or convertible into such capital stock (but excluding any debt security whether or
not it is exchangeable for or convertible into such capital stock).
(ii)
Person
means any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, joint stock company, governmental
body or other entity of any kind.
(iii)
Sale Transaction
shall mean: (A) (1) the merger or consolidation of Tenant into or
with one or more Persons, (2) the merger or consolidation of one or more Persons into or with
Tenant or (3) a tender offer or other business combination, if, in the case of clause (1), (2) or
(3) the stockholders of Tenant prior to such merger or consolidation do not retain at least a
majority of the voting power of the surviving Person; or (B) the voluntary sale, conveyance,
exchange or transfer to another Person, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of (1) the
voting Capital Stock of Tenant if, after such sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer, the
stockholders of Tenant prior to such sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer do not retain at least
a majority of the voting power of Tenant or (2) all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in Paragraph 23(a) above to the contrary, Tenant may, without
obtaining the prior consent of Landlord, without Landlords having any rights pursuant to clause
(w) or (x) of Paragraph 23(a) above, and without the payment of any amounts pursuant to Paragraph
23(d) below, assign, transfer or sublease this Lease or the whole or any part of the Premises to
any corporation or other entity which (a) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with Tenant, (b) acquires all or substantially all of Tenants assets or stock, or (c) results from
the merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity (each, a
Permitted Transferee
);
provided that (i) Tenant shall give not less than ten (10) days prior written notice thereof to
Landlord (to the extent such notice is permitted by applicable Law), (ii) Tenant shall continue to
be fully obligated under this Lease, (iii) any such assignee or sublessee shall expressly assume
and agree to perform all the terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant (but with
respect to a sublease, only with respect to that portion of the Premises that is the subject of the
sublease and excluding all rental obligations of Tenant hereunder), and (iv) the assignee or
sublessee shall have a tangible net worth, determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied (Net Worth), at least equal to Tenants Net Worth as
of the date of this Lease. In addition, (1) in no event shall an initial public offering by Tenant
be deemed to be constitute a Sale Transaction or other transfer requiring Landlords consent under
this Lease, (2) in no event shall any transfer of the Capital Stock of Tenant (whether voting or
otherwise) be deemed to constitute a Sale Transaction or other transfer requiring Landlords
consent under this Lease at any time during which Tenant is a publicly held entity, and (3) in no
event shall the merger or consolidation of one or more Persons into or with Tenant be deemed to
constitute a Sale Transaction or other transfer requiring Landlords consent under this Lease
provided that Tenant is the surviving entity and the Net Worth of Tenant immediately following such
merger or consolidation is equal to or greater than the Net Worth of Tenant immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation.
(c) Without otherwise limiting the criteria upon which Landlord may withhold its consent under
Paragraph 23(a) above, Landlord shall be entitled to consider all reasonable criteria including,
but not limited to, the following: (i) whether or not the proposed subtenant or
25
assignee is engaged in a business which, and the use of the Premises will be in an manner
which, is in keeping with the then character and nature of all other tenancies in the Project; (ii)
whether the use to be made of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee will conflict with
any so-called exclusive use then in favor of any other tenant of the Building or the Project, and
whether such use would be prohibited by any other portion of this Lease, including, but not limited
to, any rules and regulations then in effect, or under applicable Laws, and whether such use
imposes a greater load upon the Premises and the Building and the Project services then imposed by
Tenant; (iii) the business reputation of the proposed individuals who will be managing and
operating the business operations of the assignee or subtenant, and the long-term financial and
competitive business prospects of the proposed assignee or subtenant; and (iv) the creditworthiness
and financial stability of the proposed assignee or subtenant in light of the responsibilities
involved. In any event, Landlord may withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease, if (A)
the actual use proposed to be conducted in the Premises or portion thereof conflicts with the
provisions of Paragraph 9(a) or (b) above or with any other lease which restricts the use to which
any space in the Building or the Project may be put, or (B) the proposed assignment or sublease
requires alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or portions thereof.
(d) If Landlord approves an assignment or subletting as herein provided, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of the difference, if any, between (i) the Base
Rent plus Additional Rent allocable to that part of the Premises affected by such assignment or
sublease pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and (ii) the rent and any additional rent
payable by the assignee or sublessee to Tenant, less reasonable and customary market-based leasing
commissions, if any, incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease, which
commissions shall, for purposes of the aforesaid calculation, be amortized on a straight-line basis
over the term of such assignment or sublease. In any subletting undertaken by Tenant, Tenant shall
list or offer the sublease premises at a rental rate not less than Landlords then current
asking-rate for similarly situated space in the Project (the
Asking Rate
) and shall diligently
seek to obtain not less than the Asking Rate for the space so sublet. In any assignment of this
Lease in whole or in part, Tenant shall list or offer the premises subject to such assignment at a
rate not less than the Asking Rate and shall diligently seek to obtain from the assignee
consideration reflecting a value of not less than the Asking Rate for the space subject to such
assignment. The assignment or sublease agreement, as the case may be, after approval by Landlord,
shall not be amended without Landlords prior written consent, and shall contain a provision
directing the assignee or subtenant to pay the rent and other sums due thereunder directly to
Landlord upon receiving written notice from Landlord that Tenant is in default under this Lease
with respect to the payment of Rent. In the event that, notwithstanding the giving of such notice,
Tenant collects any rent or other sums from the assignee or subtenant, then Tenant shall hold such
sums in trust for the benefit of Landlord and shall immediately forward the same to Landlord.
Landlords collection of such rent and other sums shall not constitute an acceptance by Landlord of
attornment by such assignee or subtenant. A consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or
use shall not be deemed to be a consent to any other or subsequent assignment, subletting,
occupation or use, and consent to any assignment or subletting shall in no way relieve Tenant of
any liability under this Lease. Any assignment or subletting without Landlords consent shall be
void, and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a Default under this Lease.
26
(e) Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of
Tenants obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully responsible and liable for
the payment of the Rent and for compliance with all of Tenants other obligations under this Lease
(regardless of whether Landlords approval has been obtained for any such assignment or
subletting).
(f) Tenant shall pay Landlords reasonable fees (including, without limitation, the fees of
Landlords counsel), incurred in connection with Landlords review and processing of documents
regarding any proposed assignment or sublease.
(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the event Landlord consents to
an assignment or subletting by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 23, Tenants
assignee or subtenant shall have no right to further assign this Lease or any interest therein or
thereunder or to further sublease all or any portion of the Premises. In furtherance of the
foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and any assignee or subtenant
claiming under it (and any such assignee or subtenant by accepting such assignment or sublease
shall be deemed to acknowledge and agree) that no sub-subleases or further assignments of this
Lease shall be permitted at any time.
(h) Any Person who enters into an assignment or sublease under this Lease (a
Transferee
)
shall be deemed to have agreed to the provisions of clauses (i) through (iv) below:
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease or in any document,
instrument or agreement entered into by Tenant and any Transferee in connection with any assignment
or sublease (a
Transfer
), if for any reason whatsoever this Lease shall terminate prior to the
scheduled expiration of the Transfer (
e.g.
, the sublease) (including, without limitation, a
termination of this Lease upon a default by Tenant hereunder, a rejection and termination of this
Lease by Tenant in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or a consensual termination of this Lease
by Landlord and Tenant), Landlord shall have the election, exercisable in its sole and absolute
discretion, to (A) allow the Transfer to terminate as provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) below, or
(B) maintain the Transfer in full force and effect, in which event the assignee or sublessee (the
Transferee
) shall attorn to Landlord on the terms set forth in this Paragraph 23(h).
(ii) Within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease (such 30-day period being
herein referred to as the
Effective Period
), Landlord shall inform the Transferee in writing of
Landlords election to (A) allow the Transfer to terminate (such a notice, if given, being herein
referred to as a
Termination Notice
), or (B) maintain the Transfer in full force and effect (such
a notice, if given, being herein referred to as an
Attornment Notice
). Pending the receipt by
the Transferee of either such notice or, if neither notice is given, the expiration of the
Effective Period, the Transferee shall remain in possession of the premises demised under the
Transfer (the
Transfer Premises
) and shall continue to perform, for the benefit of Landlord, all
of the obligations of the Transferee under the Transfer, including, without limitation, the payment
directly to Landlord of all rent and other amounts coming due under the Transfer during the
Effective Period. Landlord shall not be deemed to have assumed or agreed to perform any
obligations of Tenant under the Transfer unless and until Landlord delivers an Attornment Notice to
the Transferee.
27
(iii) In the event that Landlord provides a Termination Notice to the Transferee during the
Effective Period or, if Landlord otherwise fails to deliver an Attornment Notice to the Transferee
within such Effective Period, then the Transfer shall automatically terminate effective as of the
delivery of the Termination Notice or, if no such Termination Notice is given, as of the end of the
Effective Period. If Landlord delivers an Attornment Notice to the Transferee within the Effective
Period, (A) the Transfer shall continue with the same force and effect as if Landlord and the
Transferee had entered into a lease on the same provisions as those contained in the Transfer,
excepting only that any unexercised renewal option or expansion option contained in the Transfer
shall lapse and shall no longer be exercisable by the Transferee, and (B) the Transferee shall
attorn to Landlord and perform all of the Transferees obligations under the Transfer directly to
Landlord as if Landlord were the landlord under the Transfer, and, provided that the Transferee is
not then in default, Landlord shall continue to recognize the estate of the Transferee created
under the Transfer and shall perform Tenants obligations thereunder arising from and after the
date of such termination of this Lease. The above provisions of this clause (iii) shall be
self-operative without the need for any additional documentation; however, upon the request of
Landlord, Tenant shall enter into a lease agreement or other document prepared by Landlord
memorializing the terms of Tenants attornment and continued occupancy of the Transfer Premises.
(iv) The Transferee shall be entitled to rely on any Attornment Notice received from Landlord
without the obligation to determine the validity thereof.
(i) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions, conditions and limitations imposed
by this Paragraph 23 on Tenants ability to assign or transfer this Lease or any interest herein,
to sublet the Premises or any part thereof, to transfer or assign any right or privilege
appurtenant to the Premises, or to allow any other person to occupy or use the Premises or any
portion thereof, are, for the purposes of California Civil Code Section 1951.4, as amended from
time to time, and for all other purposes, reasonable at the time that this Lease was entered into,
and shall be deemed to be reasonable at the time that Tenant seeks to assign or transfer this Lease
or any interest herein, to sublet the Premises or any part thereof, to transfer or assign any right
or privilege appurtenant to the Premises, or to allow any other person to occupy or use the
Premises or any portion thereof.
24.
Tenants Default
The occurrence of any one of the following events shall constitute an event of default on the
part of Tenant (
Default
):
(a) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant for a period of ten (10) consecutive days or any
vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant which would cause any insurance policy to be
invalidated or otherwise lapse, or the failure of Tenant to continuously operate Tenants business
in the Premises, in each of the foregoing cases irrespective of whether or not Tenant is then in
monetary default under this Lease. Tenant agrees to notice and service of notice as provided for
in this Lease and waives any right to any other or further notice or service of notice which Tenant
may have under any statute or law now or hereafter in effect;
28
(b) Failure to pay any installment of Rent or any other monies due and payable hereunder, said

remaining undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days;
(e) Receivership, attachment, or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenants
assets on the Premises, such attachment or other seizure remaining undismissed or undischarged for
a period of sixty (60) days after the levy thereof;
(f) Death or disability of Tenant or any Guarantor, if Tenant or such Guarantor is a natural
person, or the failure by Tenant or any Guarantor to maintain its legal existence, if Tenant or

five (5) days after written notice that the same are past due;

provided in Paragraph 7 above;
(j) Failure in the performance of any of Tenants covenants, agreements or obligations
hereunder (except those failures specified as events of Default in any other subparagraphs of this
Paragraph 24, which shall be governed by such other Paragraphs), which failure continues for twenty
(20) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, provided that, if Tenant has
exercised reasonable diligence to cure such failure and such failure cannot be cured within such
twenty (20) day period despite reasonable diligence, Tenant shall not be in default under this
subparagraph so long as Tenant thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the cure to
completion and actually completes such cure within sixty (60) days after the giving of the
aforesaid written notice;
(k) Chronic delinquency by Tenant in the payment of Rent, or any other periodic payments
required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease.
Chronic delinquency
shall mean failure by Tenant
to pay Rent, or any other payments required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease within
29
three (3) days after written notice thereof for any three (3) months (consecutive or
nonconsecutive) during any period of twelve (12) months. In the event of a Chronic delinquency, in
addition to Landlords other remedies for Default provided in this Lease, at Landlords option,
Landlord shall have the right to require that Rent be paid by Tenant quarterly, in advance;
(l) Chronic overuse by Tenant or Tenants Agents of the number of undesignated parking spaces
set forth in the Basic Lease Information.
Chronic overuse
shall mean use by Tenant or Tenants
Agents of a number of parking spaces greater than the number of parking spaces set forth in the
Basic Lease Information more than three (3) times during the Term after written notice by Landlord;
(m) Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be canceled

shall satisfy the requirements for notice under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161,
and Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to
commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.
25.
Landlords Remedies
(a)
Termination.
In the event of any Default by Tenant, then in addition to any other
remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord shall have the
immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written
notice of such intention to terminate. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this
Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent and any other sums due and payable which
have been earned at the time of such termination; plus
30
(ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other sums
due and payable which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the
amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and any other sums
due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately
caused by Tenants failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary
course would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, (A) any costs or
expenses incurred by Landlord (1) in retaking possession of the Premises; (2) in maintaining,
repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, altering, remodeling or rehabilitating the
Premises or any affected portions of the Building or the Project, including such actions undertaken
in connection with the reletting or attempted reletting of the Premises to a new tenant or tenants;
(3) for leasing commissions, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Premises; or (4)
in carrying the Premises, including taxes, insurance premiums, utilities and security precautions;
plus
(v) such reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a Default, and costs
in the event suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such remedy; and plus
(vi) at Landlords election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as
may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the
worth at the time of award
is computed by
allowing interest at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate
permitted by law, whichever is less. As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the
worth at the time
of award
is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). Tenant waives redemption or relief
from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other
pertinent present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the
Premises by reason of any Default of Tenant hereunder.
(b)
Continuation of Lease.
In the event of any Default by Tenant, then in addition to any
other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord shall have
the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in
effect after Tenants Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, provided that
Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). In addition,
Landlord shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure or refusal to relet the
Premises. For purposes of this Paragraph 25(b), the following acts by Landlord will not constitute
the termination of Tenants right to possession of the Premises:
(i) Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises, including, but not
limited to, alterations, remodeling, redecorating, repairs, replacements and/or painting as
Landlord shall consider advisable for the purpose of reletting the Premises or any part thereof; or
31
(ii) The appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of Landlord to protect Landlords
interest under this Lease or in the Premises.
(c)
Re-entry.
In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with
or without terminating this Lease, in compliance with applicable law, to re-enter the Premises and
remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a
public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant.
(d)
Reletting.
In the event of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or in the event that
Landlord shall elect to re-enter as provided in Paragraph 25(c) or shall take possession of the
Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord
does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Paragraph 25(a), Landlord may from time to
time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms
and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole
discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises in
Landlords sole discretion. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals
received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied in the following order: (i) to
reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord as a result of a Default and costs in the event
suit is filed by Landlord to enforce such remedies; (ii) to the payment of any indebtedness other
than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; (iii) to the payment of any costs of such
reletting; (iv) to the payment of the costs of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; (v) to
the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and (vi) the residue, if any, shall be held by
Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent and other sums payable by Tenant hereunder as the
same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such
reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of Rent hereunder, be less than the
Rent payable during the month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to
Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to
Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or
in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.
(e)
Termination.
No re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to
this Paragraph 25 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice
of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of
any Default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease
for any such Default.
(f)
Cumulative Remedies.
The remedies herein provided are not exclusive and Landlord shall
have any and all other remedies provided herein or by law or in equity.
(g)
No Surrender.
No act or conduct of Landlord, whether consisting of the acceptance of the
keys to the Premises, or otherwise, shall be deemed to be or constitute an acceptance of the
surrender of the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term, and such acceptance by
Landlord of surrender by Tenant shall only flow from and must be evidenced by a written
acknowledgment of acceptance of surrender signed by Landlord. The surrender of this Lease by
Tenant, voluntarily or otherwise, shall not work a merger unless Landlord elects in writing that
such merger take place, but shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of any and all existing
32
subleases, or Landlord may, at its option, elect in writing to treat such surrender as a
merger terminating Tenants estate under this Lease, and thereupon Landlord may terminate any or
all such subleases by notifying the sublessee of its election so to do within five (5) days after
such surrender.
26.
Landlords Right to Perform Tenants Obligations
(a) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Landlord contained in Paragraph 25 above, if
Tenant shall be in Default in the performance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or
conditions to be performed or complied with by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, then Landlord may at
Landlords option, without any obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant perform any such
term, provision, covenant, or condition, or make any such payment and Landlord by reason of so
doing shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage thereby sustained by Tenant or
anyone holding under or through Tenant or any of Tenants Agents.
(b) Without limiting the rights of Landlord under Paragraph 26(a) above, Landlord shall have
the right at Landlords option, without any obligation to do so, to perform any of Tenants
covenants or obligations under this Lease without notice to Tenant in the case of an emergency, as
determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute judgment, or if Landlord otherwise determines in
its sole discretion that such performance is necessary or desirable for the proper management and
operation of the Building or the Project or for the preservation of the rights and interests or
safety of other tenants of the Building or the Project.
(c) If Landlord performs any of Tenants obligations hereunder in accordance with this
Paragraph 26, the full amount of the cost and expense incurred or the payment so made or the amount
of the loss so sustained shall immediately be owing by Tenant to Landlord, and Tenant shall
promptly pay to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, the full amount thereof with interest
thereon from the date of payment by Landlord at the lower of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, or
(ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law.
27.
Attorneys Fees
(a) If either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease or if any
dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning the meaning or interpretation of any provision
of this Lease, then the defaulting party or the party not prevailing in such dispute, as the case
may be, shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party on account of such
default and/or in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation,
court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements. Any such attorneys fees and other
expenses incurred by either party in enforcing a judgment in its favor under this Lease shall be
recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment, and such
attorneys fees obligation is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Lease and
to survive and not be merged into any such judgment.
(b) Without limiting the generality of Paragraph 27(a) above, if Landlord utilizes the
services of an attorney for the purpose of collecting any Rent due and unpaid by Tenant or in
connection with any other breach of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord
33
reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred by Landlord for such services, regardless of the
fact that no legal action may be commenced or filed by Landlord.
28.
Taxes
Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, prior to delinquency, all taxes levied against
Tenants Property. If any Alteration installed by Tenant or any of Tenants Property is assessed
and taxed with the Project or the Building, Tenant shall pay such taxes to Landlord within ten (10)
days after delivery to Tenant of a statement therefor.
29.
Effect of Conveyance
The term
Landlord
as used in this Lease means, from time to time, the then current owner of
the Building or the Project containing the Premises, so that, in the event of any sale of the
Building or the Project, Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all
covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder to the extent the purchaser assumes in writing all
of Landlords obligations under this Lease, and it shall be deemed and construed, without further
agreement between the parties and the purchaser at any such sale, that the purchaser of the
Building or the Project has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations
of Landlord hereunder.
30.
Tenants Estoppel Certificate
From time to time, upon written request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord or its designee, an Estoppel Certificate in substantially the form attached
hereto as
Exhibit C
and with any other statements reasonably requested by Landlord or its designee.
Any such Estoppel Certificate delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 30 may be relied upon by a
prospective purchaser of Landlords interest or a mortgagee of Landlords interest or assignee of
any mortgage upon Landlords interest in the Premises. If Tenant shall fail to provide such
certificate within ten (10) business days of receipt by Tenant of a written request by Landlord as
herein provided, such failure shall, at Landlords election, constitute a Default under this Lease,
and Tenant shall be deemed to have given such certificate as above provided without modification
and shall be deemed to have admitted the accuracy of any information supplied by Landlord to a
prospective purchaser or mortgagee.
31.
Subordination
This Lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to
all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases affecting the Building or the Project
now or hereafter existing and each of the terms, covenants and conditions thereto (the
Superior
Lease(s)
), and to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect the Building, the Project or any
of such leases and each of the terms, covenants and conditions thereto (the
Superior
Mortgage(s)
), whether or not such mortgages shall also cover other lands, buildings or leases, to
each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals,
modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and spreaders and
consolidations of such mortgages. This Paragraph shall be self-operative and no further instrument
of subordination shall be required. Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any
reasonable instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of
34
any such mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to
evidence such subordination; if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such
instrument within ten (10) business days after request therefor, Tenant hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenants attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to
execute and deliver any such instrument for and on behalf of Tenant. Without limiting the
foregoing, Tenants failure to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instrument within the
aforesaid time period shall constitute a Default hereunder. As used herein the lessor of a
Superior Lease or its successor in interest is herein called
Superior Lessor
; and the holder of a
Superior Mortgage is herein called
Superior Mortgagee
.
Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Paragraph 31, if a Superior Lease or Superior
Mortgage is hereafter placed against or affecting any or all of the Building or the Premises or any
or all of the Building and improvements now or at any time hereafter constituting a part of or
adjoining the Building, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an agreement
from the holder thereof in recordable form and otherwise in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Tenant, whereby the holder of such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage agrees that
Tenant, upon paying the Base Rent and all of the Additional Rent and other charges herein provided
for, and observing and complying with the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on its
part to be observed and complied with, shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the
Premises during the Term (including any exercised renewal term), without hindrance or interference
from anyone claiming by or through said Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor and that said
Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall respect Tenants rights under this Lease and, upon
succeeding to Landlords interest in the Building and Lease, shall observe and comply with all of
Landlords duties under this Lease.
If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under
this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed
(such party so succeeding to Landlords rights herein called
Successor Landlord
), then Tenant
shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenants landlord under this Lease
(without the need for further agreement) and shall promptly execute and deliver any reasonable
instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. This
Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and
Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease, except that
the Successor Landlord shall not (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under
this Lease, except to the extent such act or omission shall constitute a continuing Landlord
default hereunder; (b) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided for in this Lease; or (c)
be bound by any previous modification of this Lease or by any previous prepayment of more than one
months Base Rent, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in
writing by the Successor Landlord (or its predecessor in interest).
32.
Environmental Covenants

Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate (
Initial Disclosure Certificate
), a fully completed

covenants, represents and warrants to Landlord that the information on the
35
Initial Disclosure Certificate is true and correct and accurately describes the Hazardous

times as Tenant desires to manufacture, treat, use or store on or about the Premises new or
additional Hazardous Materials which were not listed on the Initial Disclosure Certificate,

or in such updated format as Landlord may require
from time to time. Tenant shall deliver an Updated Disclosure Certificate to Landlord not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the date Tenant intends to commence the manufacture, treatment, use
or storage of new or additional Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises, and Landlord shall
have the right to approve or disapprove such new or additional Hazardous Materials in its sole and
absolute discretion. Tenant shall make no use of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises
except as described in the Initial Disclosure Certificate or as otherwise approved by Landlord in
writing in accordance with this Paragraph 32(a).
(b) As used in this Lease, the term
Hazardous Materials
means (i) any substance or material
that is included within the definitions of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic
substances, pollutant, contaminant, hazardous waste, or solid waste in any Environmental
Law (as defined in Paragraph 32(c) below); (ii) petroleum or petroleum derivatives, including crude

Environmental Laws
means all statutes, terms,
conditions, limitations, restrictions, standards, prohibitions, obligations, schedules, plans and
timetables that are contained in or promulgated pursuant to any federal, state or local laws
(including rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, judgments, orders, decrees, contracts, permits,
stipulations, injunctions, the common law, court opinions, and demand or notice letters issued,
entered, promulgated or approved thereunder), relating to pollution or the protection of the
environment, including laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of
Hazardous Materials into ambient air, surface water, ground water or lands or otherwise relating to
the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling
of Hazardous Materials including, but not limited to, the: Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), 42 U.S.C. 9601
et seq.
; Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. 6901
et seq.
; Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251
et seq.
; Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2601
et
seq.
; Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401
et seq.
; and the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. § 300f
et
seq.
Environmental Laws shall include any statutory or common law that has developed or develops
in the future regarding mold, fungus, microbiological pollutants, mildew, bacteria and/or other
organic spore material.
36
Environmental Laws shall not include laws relating to industrial hygiene or worker safety,
except to the extent that such laws address asbestos and asbestos containing materials (whether
friable or non-friable) or lead and lead-based paint or other lead containing materials.
(d) Tenant agrees that during its use and occupancy of the Premises it will: (i) not (A)
permit Hazardous Materials to be present on or about the Premises except in a manner and quantity
necessary for the ordinary performance of Tenants business or (B) release, discharge or dispose of
any Hazardous Materials on, in, at, under, or emanating from, the Premises, the Building or the
Project; (ii) comply with all Environmental Laws relating to the Premises and the use of Hazardous
Materials on or about the Premises and not engage in or permit others to engage in any activity at
the Premises in violation of any Environmental Laws; and (iii) immediately notify Landlord of (A)
any inquiry, test, investigation or enforcement proceeding by any governmental agency or authority
against Tenant, Landlord or the Premises, the Building or the Project relating to any Hazardous
Materials or under any Environmental Laws or (B) the occurrence of any event or existence of any
condition that would cause a breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Paragraph 32.
(e) If Tenants use of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises results in a release,
discharge or disposal of Hazardous Materials on, in, at, under, or emanating from, the Premises,
the Building or the Project, Tenant agrees to investigate, clean up, remove or remediate such
Hazardous Materials in full compliance with: (i) the requirements of (A) all Environmental Laws
and (B) any governmental agency or authority responsible for the enforcement of any Environmental
Laws; and (ii) any additional requirements of Landlord that are reasonably necessary to protect the
value of the Premises, the Building or the Project.
(f) Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord may inspect the Premises and surrounding areas
for the purpose of determining whether there exists on or about the Premises any Hazardous Material
or other condition or activity that is in violation of the requirements of this Lease or of any
Environmental Laws. Such inspections may include, but are not limited to, entering the Premises or
adjacent property with drill rigs or other machinery for the purpose of obtaining laboratory
samples. Landlord shall not be limited in the number of such inspections during the Term. In the
event (i) such inspections reveal the presence of any such Hazardous Material or other condition or
activity in violation of the requirements of this Lease or of any Environmental Laws, or (ii)
Tenant or Tenants Agents contribute or knowingly consent to the presence of any Hazardous
Materials in, on, under, through or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or exacerbate
the condition of or the conditions caused by any Hazardous Materials in, on, under, through or
about the Premises, the Building or the Project, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of
such inspections within ten (10) days of receipt of a written statement therefor. Tenant will
supply to Landlord such historical and operational information regarding the Premises and
surrounding areas as may be reasonably requested to facilitate any such inspection and will make
available for meetings appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. Tenant agrees to
give Landlord at least sixty (60) days prior notice of its intention to vacate the Premises so
that Landlord will have an opportunity to perform such an inspection prior to such vacation. The
right granted to Landlord herein to perform inspections shall not create a duty on Landlords part
to inspect the Premises, or liability on the part of Landlord for Tenants use, storage, treatment
or disposal of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for
all liability in connection therewith.
37
(g) Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, prior or subsequent to a Default,
without in any way limiting Landlords other rights and remedies under this Lease, to enter upon
the Premises, or to take such other actions as it deems necessary or advisable, to investigate,
clean up, remove or remediate any Hazardous Materials or contamination by Hazardous Materials
present on, in, at, under, or emanating from, the Premises, the Building or the Project in
violation of Tenants obligations under this Lease or under any Environmental Laws.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord shall also have the right, at its
election, in its own name or as Tenants agent, to negotiate, defend, approve and appeal, at
Tenants expense, any action taken or order issued by any governmental agency or authority with
regard to any such Hazardous Materials or contamination by Hazardous Materials caused by Tenant or
its Agents. All costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in the exercise of the rights set
forth in this Paragraph 32 shall be payable by Tenant upon demand.
(h) Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Lease free of (i) mold, Mold Conditions, debris, waste, and (ii) Hazardous Materials placed
on, about or near the Premises by Tenant or Tenants Agents, and in a condition which complies with
all Environmental Laws and any additional requirements of Landlord that are reasonably necessary to
protect the value of the Premises, the Building or the Project, including, without limitation, the
obtaining of any closure permits or other governmental permits or approvals related to Tenants use
of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises. Tenants obligations and liabilities pursuant to
the provisions of this Paragraph 32 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
(i) Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims,
damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, losses (including, without limitation, loss in value
of the Premises or the property in which the Premises is located, damages due to loss or
restriction of rentable or usable space, and damages due to any adverse impact on marketing of the
space and any and all sums paid for settlement of claims), liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys, consultants, and experts fees) incurred by Landlord during or
after the term of this Lease and attributable to (i) any Hazardous Materials placed on or about the
Premises, the Building or the Project by Tenant or Tenants Agents, or (ii) Tenants breach of any
provision of this Paragraph 32. This indemnification includes, without limitation, any and all
costs incurred by Landlord due to any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal or
restoration mandated by a federal, state or local agency or political subdivision.
(j) Because mold spores are present essentially everywhere and mold can grow in almost any
moist location, Tenant acknowledges the necessity of adopting and enforcing good housekeeping
practices, ventilation and vigilant moisture control within the Premises (particularly in kitchen
areas, janitorial closets, bathrooms, in and around water fountains and other plumbing facilities
and fixtures, break rooms, in and around outside walls, and in and around HVAC systems and
associated drains) for the prevention of mold (such measures,
Mold Prevention Practices
). Tenant
will, at its sole cost and expense keep and maintain the Premises in good order and condition in
accordance with the Mold Prevention Practices and acknowledges that the control of moisture, and
prevention of mold within the Premises, are integral to its obligations under this Lease.
38
(k) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall:
(i) Regularly monitor the Premises for the presence of mold and any conditions that reasonably
can be expected to give rise or be attributed to mold or fungus including, but not limited to,
observed or suspected instances of water damage, condensation, seepage, leaks or any other water
penetration (from any source, internal or external), mold growth, mildew, repeated complaints of
respiratory ailments or eye irritation by Tenants employees or any other occupants of the
Premises, or any notice from a governmental agency of complaints regarding the indoor air quality
at the Premises (the
Mold Conditions
); and
(ii) Immediately notify Landlord in writing if it observes, suspects, has reason to believe
mold or Mold Conditions exist at the Premises.
(l) In the event of suspected mold or Mold Conditions at the Premises, Landlord may cause an
inspection of the Premises to be conducted, during such time as Landlord may designate, to
determine if mold or Mold Conditions are present at the Premises.
(m) Tenant hereby releases and relieves Landlord from any and all liability for bodily injury
or damage to property and hereby waives any and all claims against Landlord related to or allegedly
caused by or associated with any mold and Mold Conditions in or on the Premises.
(n) The provisions of this Paragraph 32 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
33.
Notices
All notices and demands which are required or may be permitted to be given to either party by
the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent by United States mail, postage prepaid,
certified, or by personal delivery or overnight courier, addressed to the addressee at Tenants

as either party may from time to time designate in a notice to the other party given as provided
herein. Copies of all notices and demands given to Landlord shall additionally be sent to
Landlords property manager at the address specified in the Basic Lease Information or at such

on the third (3rd) day following deposit in the United States mail in the manner described above.
34.
Waiver
The waiver of any breach of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or any
other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by Landlord
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant, other than the failure of
Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlords knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No delay or omission in the exercise of
any right or remedy of Landlord in regard to any Default by Tenant
39
shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by Landlord of
any Default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other Default concerning the same
or any other provisions of this Lease.
35.
Holding Over
Any holding over after the expiration of the Term, without the express written consent of
Landlord, shall constitute a Default and, without limiting Landlords remedies provided in this
Lease, such holding over shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance, at a rental rate equal
to the greater of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent last due in this Lease or one
hundred percent (100%) of the fair market rental value for the Premises as determined by Landlord,
plus Additional Rent, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified, so far
as applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall any renewal or expansion option or other
similar right or option contained in this Lease be deemed applicable to any such tenancy at
sufferance.
36.
Successors and Assigns
The terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall, subject to the provisions as to
assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all
of the parties hereto. If Tenant shall consist of more than one entity or person, the obligations
of Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several.
37.
Time
Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and every term, condition and provision herein.
38.
Brokers
Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its officers
or agents nor anyone acting on its behalf has dealt with any real estate broker except the Brokers
specified in the Basic Lease Information in the negotiating or making of this Lease, and each party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from any claim or claims, and costs and expenses,
including attorneys fees, incurred by the indemnified party in conjunction with any such claim or
claims of any other broker or brokers to a commission in connection with this Lease as a result of
the actions of the indemnifying party.
39.
Limitation of Liability
Tenant agrees that, in the event of any default or breach by Landlord under this Lease or
arising in connection herewith or with Landlords operation, management, leasing, repair,
renovation, alteration or any other matter relating to the Project or the Premises, Tenants
remedies shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the lesser of (a)
the interest in the Buildings of the then current Landlord or (b) the equity interest Landlord
would have in the Buildings if the Buildings were encumbered by third party debt in an amount equal
to eighty percent (80%) of the value of the Buildings (as such value is determined by Landlord),
provided that in no event shall such liability extend to any sales or insurance proceeds
40
received by Landlord or the Landlord Parties in connection with the Project, any Building or
the Premises. For purposes of this Lease,
Landlord Parties
shall mean, collectively Landlord,
its partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, investment advisors, or any successor
in interest of any of them. Neither Landlord, nor any of the Landlord Parties shall have any
personal liability therefor, and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal
liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant. The
limitations of liability contained in this Paragraph 39 shall inure to the benefit of Landlords
and the Landlord Parties present and future partners, beneficiaries, officers, directors,
trustees, shareholders, agents and employees, and their respective partners, heirs, successors and
assigns. Under no circumstances shall any present or future partner of Landlord (if Landlord is a
partnership), future member in Landlord (if Landlord is a limited liability company) or trustee or
beneficiary (if Landlord or any partner or member of Landlord is a trust), have any liability for
the performance of Landlords obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
herein, neither Landlord nor the Landlord Parties shall be liable under any circumstances for
injury or damage to, or interference with Tenants business, including, but not limited to, loss or
profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of
use, in each case, however occurring. The provisions of this Paragraph shall apply only to
Landlord and the parties herein described, and shall not be for the benefit of any insurer nor any
other third party.
40.

Within ten (10) business days after Landlords request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the
then current financial statements of Tenant (including interim periods following the end of the
last fiscal year for which annual statements are available), prepared or compiled by a certified
public accountant, including a balance sheet and profit and loss statement for the most recent
prior year, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
applied. Tenant shall not be required to deliver such financial statements more frequently than
every six (6) months.
41.
Rules and Regulations
Tenant agrees to comply with such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may adopt from
time to time for the orderly and proper operation of the Building and the Project. Such rules may
include but shall not be limited to the following: (a) restriction of employee parking to a
limited, designated area or areas; and (b) regulation of the removal, storage and disposal of
Tenants refuse and other rubbish at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. The then current rules
and regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant. Landlord
shall not be responsible to Tenant for the failure of any other person to observe and abide by any
of said rules and regulations. Landlords current rules and regulations are attached to this Lease
as
Exhibit B
.
42.
Mortgagee Protection
(a)
Modifications for Lender.
If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Project or
any portion thereof, Landlords lender shall request reasonable modifications to this Lease as a
condition to such financing, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent to
41
such modifications, provided that such modifications do not materially adversely affect
Tenants rights or increase Tenants obligations under this Lease.
(b)
Rights to Cure.
Tenant agrees to give to any trust deed or mortgage holder (
Holder
), by
registered mail, at the same time as it is given to Landlord, a copy of any notice of default given
to Landlord, provided that, prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of
notice of assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Holder. Tenant
further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for
in this Lease, then the Holder shall have an additional twenty (20) days after expiration of such
period, or after receipt of such notice from Tenant (if such notice to the Holder is required by
this Paragraph 42(b)), whichever shall last occur within which to cure such default or if such
default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if within
such twenty (20) days, any Holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary
to cure such default (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if
necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated.
43.
Parking
(a) Provided that Tenant shall not then be in Default under the terms and conditions of this
Lease; and provided, further, that Tenant shall comply with and abide by Landlords parking rules
and regulations from time to time in effect, Tenant shall have a license to use for the parking of
standard-size passenger automobiles the number of exclusive and designated and non-exclusive and
undesignated parking spaces, if any, set forth in the Basic Lease Information in the Parking Areas;
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to enforce Tenants right to use such
parking spaces; and provided, further, that the number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant
hereunder shall be reduced on a proportionate basis in the event any of the parking spaces in the
Parking Areas are taken or otherwise eliminated as a result of any Condemnation or casualty event
affecting such Parking Areas or any modifications made by Landlord to such Parking Areas. All
unreserved parking spaces will be on a first-come, first-served basis in common with other tenants
of and visitors to the Project in parking spaces provided by Landlord from time to time in the
Projects Parking Areas. Tenants license to use the parking spaces provided for herein shall be
subject to such terms, conditions, rules and regulations as Landlord or the operator of the Parking
Areas may impose from time to time.
(b) Each automobile shall, at Landlords option to be exercised from time to time, bear a
permanently affixed and visible identification sticker to be provided by Landlord. Tenant shall
not and shall not permit Tenants Agents to park any vehicles in locations other than those
specifically designated by Landlord as being for Tenants use. The license granted hereunder is
for self-service parking only and does not include additional rights or services. Neither Landlord
nor Landlords Agents shall be liable for: (i) loss or damage to any vehicle or other personal
property parked or located upon or within such parking spaces or any Parking Areas whether pursuant
to this license or otherwise and whether caused by fire, theft, explosion, strikes, riots or any
other cause whatsoever; or (ii) injury to or death of any person in, about or around such parking
spaces or any Parking Areas or any vehicles parking therein or in proximity thereto whether caused
by fire, theft, assault, explosion, riot or any other cause whatsoever; and Tenant hereby waives
any claim for or in respect to the above and against all claims or liabilities arising
42
out of loss or damage to property or injury to or death of persons, or both, relating to any
of the foregoing. Tenant shall not assign any of its rights hereunder and, in the event an
attempted assignment is made, it shall be void.
(c) Tenant recognizes and agrees that visitors, clients and/or customers (collectively, the
Visitors
) to the Project and the Premises must park automobiles or other vehicles only in areas
designated by Landlord from time to time as being for the use of such Visitors, and Tenant hereby
agrees to ask its Visitors to park only in the areas designated by Landlord from time to time for
the use of Tenants Visitors. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to cause its Visitors to comply
with and abide by Landlords or Landlords parking operators rules and regulations governing the
use of such Visitors parking as may be in existence from time to time.
(d) In the event any tax, surcharge or regulatory fee is at any time imposed by any
governmental authority upon or with respect to parking or vehicles parking in the parking spaces
referred to herein, Tenant shall pay such tax, surcharge or regulatory fee as Additional Rent under

(a) If Tenant is an entity, Tenant is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the state of its organization and the persons executing this Lease on behalf of
Tenant have the full right and authority to execute this Lease on behalf of Tenant and to bind
Tenant without the consent or approval of any other person or entity. Tenant has full power,
capacity, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Lease and to perform all of its
obligations hereunder. This Lease is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Tenant, enforceable

creditors, (iii) suffered the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially
all of its assets, (iv) suffered the attachment or other judicial seizure of all or substantially
all of its assets, (v) admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due, or (vi)
made an offer of settlement, extension or composition to its creditors generally.
48.
Security
(a) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, while Landlord may engage security personnel to
patrol the Building or the Project, Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to
the Premises, the Building or the Project and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and
Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage

Building or the Project for cause, suspected cause or for drill purposes, the denial of any access

measures by Landlord and Landlords Agents, and the resulting interruption of service and cessation
of Tenants business, if any, shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenants use and

Tenant for any resulting damages or relieve Tenant from Tenants obligations under this Lease.
49.
Jury Trial Waiver
Tenant hereby waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding (a)
brought by Landlord, Tenant or any other party, relating to (i) this Lease and/or any
understandings or prior dealings between the parties hereto, or (ii) the Premises, the Building or

consent to waiver of trial by jury.
50.
Option to Renew
(a) Tenant shall have one (1) option (the
Renewal Option
) to extend the Term for a period of
two (2) years beyond the Expiration Date (the
Renewal Term
). The Renewal Option is personal to
Tenant and any Permitted Transferee and may not be exercised by any other sublessee or assignee, or
by any other successor or assign of Tenant. The Renewal Option shall be effective only if Tenant
is not in Default under this Lease, nor has any event occurred which with the giving of notice or
the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default hereunder, either at the time of exercise
of the Renewal Option or the time of commencement of the Renewal Term. The Renewal Option must be
exercised, if at all, by written notice (
Election Notice
) from Tenant to Landlord given not more
than twelve (12) months nor less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Term. Any such
notice given by Tenant to Landlord shall be irrevocable. If Tenant fails to exercise the Renewal
Option in a timely manner as provided for above, the Renewal Option shall be void. The Renewal
Term shall be upon the same terms and conditions as the initial Term, except that (i) no further
Renewal Option shall be available to Tenant at the expiration of the Renewal Term, and (ii) the
Base Rent during the Renewal Term (the
Renewal Rate
) shall be equal to the prevailing market
rate for space in similarly situated buildings in the vicinity of the Project comparable to the
Building in location, condition, quality and type at the commencement of the Renewal Term (the
Prevailing Rate
). The term Prevailing Rate shall mean the base rental for such comparable
space, taking into account any additional rental and all other payments and escalations payable
hereunder and by tenants under leases of such comparable space. The Prevailing Rate shall be
determined in accordance with Paragraph 50(b) below.
(b) Within thirty (30) days after Landlords receipt of the Election Notice or as soon
thereafter as is reasonably practicable, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (the
Renewal Rate
Notice
) of the Renewal Rate. Tenant shall have twenty (20) days (the
Response Period
) after
receipt of the Renewal Rate Notice to advise Landlord whether or not Tenant agrees with Landlords
determination of the Renewal Rate. If Tenant does not respond to Landlord in writing within the
Response Period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Renewal Rate specified by
Landlord in the Renewal Rate Notice. If Tenant agrees or is deemed to have agreed with Landlords
determination of the Renewal Rate, then such determination shall be final and binding on the
parties. If Tenant notifies Landlord in writing during the Response Period that Tenant disagrees
with Landlords determination of the Renewal Rate, then within twenty (20) days after Landlords
receipt of Tenants written notice, Landlord and Tenant shall each retain a licensed commercial
real estate broker with at least five (5) years experience negotiating commercial lease
transactions in the City of Palo Alto, California. If only one broker is appointed by the parties
during such twenty (20) day period, then such broker shall, within twenty (20) days after his or
her appointment, determine the Prevailing Rate, and such rate shall be the Renewal Rate for all
purposes of this Lease. If Landlord and Tenant each appoint a broker during such twenty (20) day
period as contemplated hereunder, then the brokers shall
45
meet at least two (2) times during the thirty (30) day period commencing on the date on which
the last of the brokers has been appointed (the
Broker Negotiation Period
) to attempt to mutually
agree upon the Prevailing Rate. If the brokers agree upon the Prevailing Rate on or before the
expiration of the Broker Negotiation Period, then the rate so determined by the brokers shall be
the Renewal Rate for all purposes of this Lease. If the brokers cannot agree upon the Prevailing
Rate at the expiration of the Broker Negotiation Period, but if the determinations of such brokers
differ by less than five percent (5%) of the higher of the two, the Renewal Rate shall be the
average of the two determinations. In the event such determinations differ by more than five
percent (5%) of the higher of the two, then such appraisers shall within twenty (20) days designate
a third broker, who shall have the same qualifications required for the initial two brokers. If
the two brokers fail to agree upon and appoint a third broker, then the third broker shall be
appointed by J.A.M.S./ENDISPUTE. The third broker shall, within twenty (20) days after his or her
appointment, make a determination of the Prevailing Rate. The determinations of Prevailing Rate
prepared by all three (3) brokers shall be compared and the Renewal Rate shall be the average of
the two closest determinations. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties.
Landlord and Tenant shall each bear the expense of the broker selected by it and shall share
equally the expense of the third broker, if any. Promptly following the determination of the
Renewal Rate pursuant to this Paragraph 50(b), the parties shall execute an amendment to this Lease
memorializing such Renewal Rate.
51.
Furniture
During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to use the modular work stations
and furniture currently located in the Premises (the
Furniture
). Tenant shall accept such
Furniture in its as-is condition without any representation or warranty by Landlord. Tenants
insurance as required under this Lease shall include an all risk property insurance policy for the
Furniture for its full replacement value, and Tenant shall maintain the Furniture in good condition
during the term hereof. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall at
Landlords option (i) return the Furniture to Landlord in the same condition received, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, or (ii) remove the Furniture from the Premises, in which case Landlord
shall transfer title thereto to Tenant.
