Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
     This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Registrant from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, Registrant’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Registrant’s management. When used in the filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to Registrant or Registrant’s management identify forward looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of Registrant with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to Registrant’s industry, Registrant’s operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by Registrant. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
     Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward looking statements are reasonable, Registrant cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On March 5, 2007, Novint Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) entered into a Unit Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) among the Registrant and 42 accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Registrant issued and sold $9,000,000 of Units, at a price of one dollar per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and one five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50. Accordingly, an aggregate of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock, and warrants to purchase 9,000,000 shares of common stock were issued (the “Financing”). The Financing closed on March 5, 2007. Under the terms of the Unit Subscription Agreement the Company may sell an additional 1,000,000 Units for $1,000,000 to a strategic investor. Gross proceeds from the Financing to the Company were $9,000,000, of which $320,000 was paid to certain individuals who served as placement agents for the transaction and approximately $50,000 was paid to counsel for the Purchasers in connection with the transaction. Mr. Tom Anderson, the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer, invested $25,000 in the Financing. The net proceeds of the Financing will be used by the Registrant for general working capital purposes.
     As part of the terms of the Agreement, the Registrant entered into an Investor Rights Agreement among the Purchasers pursuant to which the Registrant has agreed to file a registration statement to register for resale the shares of common stock sold in the Financing, including the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, within 55 days following the closing of the Financing. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event the registration statement is not filed within such 55 day period or does not become effective within certain time periods set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, the Registrant would be required to pay each purchaser in the Financing an amount in cash equal to 0.0333% of the sum of (i) the purchase amount paid by the Purchaser and (ii) the amount paid upon exercise of the warrants for each day the filing or effectiveness of the registration statement is delayed and, pursuant to the terms of the warrants, the Purchasers would be entitled to exercise their warrants pursuant to a cashless exercise formula. In addition, the Registrant has agreed not to grant any registration rights that are senior to the registration rights of the Purchasers for a period of two years from the closing date without the prior written consent of a majority of the Purchasers.
     The foregoing description of the Unit Subscription Agreement, the warrants, and the Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the form of warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, the form of Unit Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the form of Investor Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
     The information set forth in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated into this Item 3.02. The common stock and warrants to purchase common stock issued at the closing of the Financing were offered and issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each Purchaser represented to the Registrant that such Purchaser was an “accredited investor” as such term is defined under such Regulation D and the Financing did not involve any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

          3.3. Company to Reaffirm Obligations . The Company shall, at the time of any exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights (including, without limitation, any right to registration of the Underlying Securities, if any) to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant; provided , however, that if the Holder of this Warrant shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such Holder any such rights.
          3.4. Certain Exercises . If an exercise of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a registered public offering or sale of the Company, such exercise may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned on the consummation of the public offering or sale of the Company, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed effective until the consummation of such transaction.
          3.5. Limited Net Issue Exercise . If at any time or from time to time after the Mandatory Registration Effective Date or Mandatory Subsequent Registration Date with respect to the Underlying Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) (as such terms are defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), to the extent there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the Underlying Securities by the Holder, this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “Net Issue Exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive Underlying Securities equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised by Net Issue Exercise) by surrender of this Warrant to the Company together with notice of such Net Issue Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Underlying Securities computed as of the date of surrender of this Warrant to the Company using the following formula:
          X = Y x (A-B)

X =
  the number of Underlying Securities to be issued to Holder pursuant to this Section 3.5;
 
   
Y =
  the number of Underlying Securities otherwise purchasable under this Warrant, or any lesser number of Underlying Securities as to which this Warrant is being exercised (at the date of such calculation);
 
   
A =

B =
  the Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).
     4. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc., on Exercise; Buy-In .

5


 

          (a) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within ten Business Days thereafter (the “ Delivery Date ’), the Company at its own expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes and subject to the provisions of Section 2) may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock or Other Securities to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then current Market Price of one full share.
     (b) Issuance of Certificates. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Underlying Securities by the third (3rd) trading day following the Delivery Date (or such longer or shorter time is then required by the SEC regulations on the settlement of trades), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Underlying Securities pursuant to an exercise by the fifth (5th) trading day after the Delivery Date, and if after such day the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) securities to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Underlying Securities which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s 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 Underlying Securities that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Underlying Securities for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of Underlying Securities that would have been issued had the Company 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 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 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 Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Underlying Securities upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
     5.  Adjustment for Stock Splits; Dividends . The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of any of the following. In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital

6


 

stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then the number of Underlying Securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Underlying Securities or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised in advance thereof Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Underlying Securities or other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Underlying Securities or other securities resulting from such adjustment at a Purchase Price per share or other security obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price per share in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Underlying Securities purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing by the number of Underlying Securities or other securities of the Company resulting from such adjustment. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. The Company shall not declare or pay a dividend in cash or other assets prior to the Expiration Date unless the aggregate amount of any such dividends is less than 50% of the Company’s net operating income for the previous fiscal year.
     6.  Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“ Other Property ”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing formula. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Underlying Securities for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6. For purposes of this Section 6, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the

7


 

happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.
          7. Further Assurances; Reports . The Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Underlying Securities upon the exercise of all Warrants from time to time outstanding. For so long as the Holder holds this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the Holder contemporaneously with delivery to the holders of Common Stock, a copy of each report of the Company delivered to such holders.
          8. Certificate as to Adjustments . In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the Underlying Securities, the Company shall, at its expense, promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, and the number of shares of Common Stock or Other Securities outstanding or deemed to be outstanding. The Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder.
          9. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event of
     (a) any taking by the Company of a record of its stockholders for the purpose of determining the stockholders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any             shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining stockholders who are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, or
     (b) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
then and in each such event the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such 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 and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, as of which the Holders of record of Underlying Securities shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Underlying Securities for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

          11. Exchange of Warrants . Subject to the provisions of Section 2, upon surrender for exchange of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company, as soon as practicable (and in any event within three Business Days) the Company at its own expense shall issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Holder or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face of this Warrant so surrendered.

Exhibit 3
Form of Legal Opinion- General Counsel
The opinion will be subject to standard qualifications and exceptions, reasonably acceptable to counsel for the Investors.
     1. The Company is validly existing as a corporation and is in good standing under the law of the State of Delaware.
     2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Investment Documents to which it is a party and to (i) sell and issue the Securities under the Agreement, (ii) issue the Underlying Securities upon the Restated Certificate being duly filed and accepted in the State of Delaware and thereafter the exercise of the Warrants, and (iii) perform its obligations under the Investment Documents.
     3. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 4,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Based upon (i) a Certificate of the Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) in reliance upon the Dilution Agreements (which we assume have been duly executed and are binding upon the signatory parties thereto), we believe that the Company’s statements in the Company Disclosure Letter concerning the effect of the application of anti-dilution provisions in currently outstanding securities and agreements of the Company correctly reflects the application of those provisions in light of the Dilution Agreements and giving effect to the Closing.
     4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Investment Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on part of the Company. Each of the Investment Documents to which the Company is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
     5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Investment Documents, the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Investment Documents, and the issuance of the Securities do not violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Restated Certificate or By-laws of the Company, or any provision of any Federal law applicable to the Company and to be customarily applicable to transactions of the nature set forth in the Investment Documents.
     6. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Investment Documents, the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Investment Documents, and the issuance of the Securities do not violate, or constitute a default under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease or other instrument filed as an exhibit to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 to which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject (it being understood that no opinion is expressed with respect to any financial covenant in any such note, bond,

 


 

mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease or other instrument insofar as the covenant requires a computation).
     7. Other than as set forth in the Investment Documents and the Company Disclosure Letter, to our knowledge, there are no preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or rights of first offer with respect to the issuance of the Securities or the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Investment Documents, and the Securities and Underlying Securities, when issued and paid for, all in compliance with the provisions of the Investment Documents will be free of any liens and encumbrances other than restrictions on transfer imposed by Federal or state securities laws
     8. When issued and paid for and when certificates representing the Shares and the Warrants have been issued to the Investors, all in compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Shares and Warrants will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; provided , however , that the Shares and Warrants may be subject to restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws. The Underlying Securities, when issued upon the due exercise of the Warrants including the payment of consideration thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
     9. Based solely on a Certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as to factual matters, the Company is not, and, immediately after giving effect to the sale of the Securities in accordance with the Investment Documents and the application of the proceeds as described in Section 2.17 of the Agreement, will not be, required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
     10. Subject to the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties in the Agreement, and upon the filing of Form D in compliance with Regulation D under the Securities Act, the sale of the Units in conformity with the terms of the Agreement constitutes a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.
     11. Based solely upon our review of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the Investment Documents, the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants has been validly reserved for issuance assuming the filing and acceptance of the Restated Certificate in the State of Delaware.

3


 

registering (such registration, the “ Mandatory Registration ”) under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Shares for resale by, and for the account of, the Investors as selling stockholders thereunder (the “ Registration Statement ”). The Registration Statement shall permit the Investors to offer and sell, on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, any or all of the Registrable Shares.

          (e) In the event the amount of Shares and Underlying Shares covered by such Registration Statement is limited by the SEC, the Company: (i) shall register the maximum number of Registrable Shares permitted by the SEC, without adding any other shares to the Registration Statement, and (ii) shall file additional registration statements (the “ Subsequent Registration Statements ”) covering the balance of the Registrable Shares as soon as practicable in light of SEC positions, rules and regulations (each a “ Mandatory Subsequent Registration Filing Date ”). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any and all Subsequent Registration Statements to become effective within seventy five (75) days after filing (each, a “ Mandatory Subsequent Registration Effective Date ”)
     4.  Obligations of the Company . In connection with the Company’s obligations under Section 3 hereof to file the Registration Statement with the SEC and to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as set forth in Section 3, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, subject to Section 10 hereof:

4


 

          (a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary in order to keep the Registration Statement effective until the Mandatory Registration Termination Date;
          (b) furnish to the selling Holders such reasonable number of copies of the Registration Statement and a final prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents (including, without limitation, prospectus amendments and supplements as are prepared by the Company in accordance with Section 4(a) above) as the selling Holders may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public or other disposition of such selling Holders’ Registrable Shares;
          (c) use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities laws or blue sky (“ Blue Sky ”) laws of all states requiring such securities or Blue Sky registration or qualification, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions; and
          (d) use reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Shares registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange (including without limitation The Nasdaq SmallCap Market) on which securities of the same class issued by the Company are then listed.
     5.  Furnish Information .
          (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them and the securities held by them as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in order to effect any registration by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
          (b) The Registration Statement will provide for a plan of distribution with respect to the Registrable Shares substantially as follows, provided such plan of distribution may be modified at the request of the SEC: The Registrable Shares may be sold from time to time by the Holders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The Registrable Shares may be sold by one or more of the following: (i) a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (ii) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to the resale registration statement; (iii) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; (iv) one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; (v) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and (vi) transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/dealer. In addition, any securities covered by the Registration Statement that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to the Registration Statement. For so

5


 

long as a Holder Owns any Registrable Shares, such Holder shall not maintain a Net Short Position. For purposes of this Section, a “ Net Short Position ” by a person means a position whereby such person has executed one or more sales of Common Stock that is marked as a short sale and that is executed at a time when such Holder has no equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock. For purposes of determining whether a Holder has an equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock, all Common Stock that is Owned by such Holder shall be deemed to be held long by such Holder. The Holders may also distribute the Registrable Shares and Warrants to their partners, members, stockholders or shareholders to the extent such distributions are effected in full compliance with applicable securities laws and provided that the distributing Holders and the distributees provide the Company with such documents and other information as reasonably requested by the Company. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling Holders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or discounts from selling Holders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
     6.  Expenses of Registration . All expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation all registration and qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel, Hahn & Hessen LLP as counsel for the selling Holders, shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for the fees and disbursements of any additional counsel for any of the selling Holders. All Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Holders of the Registrable Shares so registered and sold, pro rata on the basis of the number of their Registrable Shares so registered and sold.
     7.  Delay in Filing or Effectiveness of Registration Statement .
          (a) If (i) the initial Registration Statement is not filed by the Company with the SEC on or prior to fifty five (55) days after the Closing (the “ Mandatory Registration Date ”), (ii) such Registration Statement is not effective on the Mandatory Registration Effective Date, (iii) any Subsequent Registration Statement is not filed by the Mandatory Subsequent Registration Filing Date, or (iv) any Subsequent Registration Statement is not effective on the Mandatory Subsequent Registration Effective Date (each such event a “ Registration Failure ”), then for each day (w) following the Mandatory Registration Date, (x) following each Mandatory Subsequent Registration Filing Date, (y) following the Mandatory Registration Effective Date, or (z) following each Mandatory Subsequent Registration Effective Date, until but excluding the date the Registration Statement or Subsequent Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective, as applicable, the Company shall, for each such day, pay the Holder with respect to any such failure, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 0.0333% of the sum of (i) the purchase amount paid by such Holder (or if such Holder was not an Investor, by the Investor from which the Holder directly or indirectly acquired the Registrable Shares) for its Registrable Shares pursuant to the Unit Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Payment” ) and (ii) amount paid for Underlying Securities held by such Holder (the “Warrant Payment” ); and for any such day, such payment shall be made no later than the first business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs; provided however, that liquidated damages arising from a Registration Failure shall accrue or be payable by the

6


 

Company only to the extent of the number of Registrable Shares affected by such Registration Failure.
          (b) If the Holder shall be prohibited from selling Shares under the Registration Statement as a result of a Suspension of more than thirty (30) days or Suspensions on more than two (2) occasions of not more than thirty (30) days each in any 12-month period, then for each day on which a Suspension is in effect that exceeds the maximum allowed period for a Suspension or Suspensions, but not including any day on which a Suspension is lifted, the Company shall pay the Holders, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 0.0333% of the purchase price paid by such Holder (or if such Holder was not an Investor, by the Investor from which the Holder directly or indirectly acquired the Registrable Shares) for its Registrable Shares pursuant to the Unit Subscription Agreement for each such day, and such payment shall be made no later than the first business day of the calendar month next succeeding the month in which such day occurs. For purposes of this Section 7, a Suspension shall be deemed lifted on the date that notice that the Suspension has been lifted is delivered to the Holder pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement.
          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay such liquidated damages to more than one Holder in respect of the same Registrable Shares for the same period of time. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 7 shall not constitute the Holder’s exclusive remedy for such events.
          (d) Payments under this Section 7 shall be made to the Holder in cash, provided that the Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay the liquidated damages amounts accruing after the first three months (in each instance in which liquidated damages may occur) with additional Shares, with the price of each such additional Share to be deemed equal to the average closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on the OTCBB for each such 30 business day period, or portion thereof. In no event shall payment pursuant to this Section exceed 20% in the aggregate of (i) the Subscription Payment and (ii) the Warrant Payment. These payments will be prorated on a daily basis during the 30-business day period and will be paid to each Holder within ten business days following the end of each 30-business day period as to which payment is due hereunder provided that the respective Holder delivered to the Company at least two business days prior thereto information with respect to the number of Shares, Warrants and Underlying Securities not previously sold by such Holder (together with reasonable supporting documentation). The Holders may make a claim for additional damages as a remedy for the Company’s failure to comply with the timelines set forth in this Section, but acknowledgement of such right in this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by the Company that any such damages exist or may exist. Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be read to limit the ability of the Holders to seek specific performance of this Agreement.
     8.  Indemnification .
          (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder (including the partners or officers, directors and stockholders of such Holder), and each person, if any, who controls such selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which

they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and other federal or state securities laws, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) arise out of any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state securities law; and will reimburse such selling Holder, or such officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, damage, liability or action, to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in connection with the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus by the selling Holders, any broker/dealer acting on their behalf or controlling person with respect to them.
          (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, or any selling Holders, and all other selling Holders against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person or such other selling Holder may become subject to, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent and only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the selling Holder expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus; and such selling Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, or other selling Holder in connection with investigating or defending any

8


 

such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided , however , that the liability of each selling Holder hereunder (when aggregated with amounts contributed, if any, pursuant to Section 8(d)) shall be limited to the difference (the “ Difference ”) between (a) the amount received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement and (b) the amount paid by such Holder to the Company for such Registrable Shares pursuant to the Unit Subscription Agreement; and provided , further , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of those selling Holder(s) against which the request for indemnity is being made (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that the indemnifying party assumes any such defense, the indemnified party may participate in such defense with its own counsel and at its own expense, provided , however , that the counsel for the indemnifying party shall act as lead counsel in all matters pertaining to such defense or settlement of such claim and the indemnifying party shall only pay for such indemnified party’s reasonable legal fees and expenses for the period prior to the date of its participation in such defense, and provided further , however , that the indemnified party (together with all indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the representation of the indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay the fees of more than one separate counsel. The failure to notify an indemnifying party of the commencement of any such action will not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 8 (except to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action), nor shall the omission so to notify an indemnifying party relieve such indemnifying party of any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this Section 8. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.
          (d) If the indemnification provided in this Section 8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable

9


 

by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that shall have resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall any contribution by an Holder under this Section 8(d), when aggregated with amounts paid, if any, pursuant to Section 8(b), exceed the Difference. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
          (e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement under Section 3 and otherwise.
     9.  Reports Under the Exchange Act . With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use reasonable efforts: (a) to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (b) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and (c) undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of Rule 144.
     10.  Selling Procedures . Any sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to a registration statement filed in accordance with Section 3 hereof shall be subject to the following conditions and procedures:
          (a) Updating the Prospectus .
               (i) If the Company informs the selling Holder that any registration statement or final prospectus covering Registrable Shares then on file with the SEC is not current or otherwise does not comply with the Securities Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the selling Holder a current prospectus that complies with the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days after delivery of such notice.
               (ii) If the Company requires more than five (5) business days to update the prospectus under Section 10(a)(i) above, the Company shall have the right to delay the preparation of a current prospectus that complies with the Securities Act without explanation to such Holder, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10(b) below, for a total of not more than two periods of thirty (30) days each during any twelve-month period.
          (b) General . Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of (i) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements

10


 

to the Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information relating to the Registration Statement, (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) 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 Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (iv) the happening of any event which makes any statement made in the registration statement covering Registrable Shares or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the registration statement or prospectus so that, in the case of the registration statement, it will not 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 not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (v) that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, it is advisable to suspend use of the prospectus for a discrete period of time due to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC or that there exists material nonpublic information about the Company that the Board of Directors, acting in good faith, determines not to disclose in a registration statement, then the Company may suspend use of the prospectus (each a “ Suspension ”), in which case the Company shall promptly so notify each Holder and each Holder shall not dispose of Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement or prospectus until copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus are distributed to the Holders or until the Holders are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend use of the prospectus pursuant to Sections 10(a)(ii), 10(b)(iv) and 10(b)(v), and an Holder may be prohibited from selling or otherwise disposing of the Registrable Shares covered by the registration statement or prospectus, for no more than two periods of thirty (30) days during any such twelve-month period. The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure the use of the prospectus may be resumed as soon as practicable. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment. The Company shall, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by clause (iv), prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
     11.  Preemptive Rights . In the event that at any time after the date hereof until the date that is two (2) years after the Closing Date, the Company proposes to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, other than an Exempt Issuance, pursuant to a private offering for a cash investment not registered with the SEC, the Company shall send a notice (an “ Additional Share Notice ”) to the Holder setting forth the terms of such proposed issuance. The Holder shall be entitled to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock or

11


 

Convertible Securities, equal to its pro rata portion of 39% of the total number of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities proposed to be issued in the offering (the “Preemptive Amount” ), where such pro rata amount shall be determined based upon such Holder’s pro rata portion of the total number of Units sold under the Subscription Agreement. By way of example only, if the Holder purchased or acquired one half of the total Units sold under the Subscription Agreement, such Holder would be entitled to purchase one half of the Preemptive Amount. In addition, such Preemptive Amount is determined based on the sale of 10,000,000 Units, and in the event less than such number of Units is sold under the Subscription Agreement the Preemptive Amount shall be reduced proportionately. Such participation by Holder in the offering shall be made on the same terms set forth in the Additional Share Notice by (a) notice to the Company (the “ Purchase Notice ”) within 10 days of the date of the Additional Share Notice and (b) payment of the price for such shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or such other method of payment as the Company may approve, within 10 days after delivery to the Company of the Purchase Notice.
     12.  Issuance of Certain Securities . Until all Registrable Shares have been resold publicly pursuant to a registration statement or under Rule 144, without the prior written consent of Holders owning a majority of the Shares, during the three year period following the Closing Date, the Company shall not issue for cash (a) any Convertible Securities or similar securities that contain a provision that provides for any change or determination of the applicable conversion price, conversion rate, or exercise price (or a similar provision which might have a similar effect) based on any determination of the market price or other value of the Company’s securities or any other market based or contingent standard, such as so-called “toxic” or “death spiral” convertible securities; provided, however, that this prohibition shall not include Convertible Securities or similar securities the conversion or exercise price or conversion rate of which is (i) fixed on the date of issuance, (ii) subject to adjustment as a result of or in connection with a bona fide business combination or similar transaction or (iii) subject to adjustment based upon the issuance by the Company of additional securities, including without limitation, standard anti-dilution adjustment provisions which are not based on calculations of market price or other variable valuations; and provided, further, that in no event shall this provision be deemed to prohibit the transactions contemplated in the Unit Subscription Agreement, or (b) any preferred stock, debt instruments or similar securities or investment instruments provided for (i) preferences or other payments substantially in excess of the original investment by purchasers thereof or (ii) dividends, interest or similar payments other than dividends, interest or similar payments computed on an annual basis and not in excess, directly or indirectly, of the lesser of a rate equal to (A) twice the interest rate on 10 year US Treasury Notes and (B) 20%.
     13.  Assignment . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment shall have been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Holders shall also be for the benefit of and enforceable by any subsequent holder of any Registrable Shares who has executed a copy of this Agreement or otherwise indicated its agreement to be bound hereby. Without limitation on the Holders’ rights to transfer Registrable Shares, the Company acknowledges that any Holder may, at any time, transfer any of the Registrable Shares which it may own, beneficially or of record, to (a) its affiliates or (b) its partner(s), investor(s), security holder(s) or beneficial holder(s) pursuant to its organization documents or other agreements, and that, upon the consummation of

12


 

any such transfer, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each transferee of such Registrable Shares.
     14.  Entire Agreement . This Agreement (including the exhibits hereto), the Unit Subscription Agreement and the Warrants constitute and contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and such agreements also supersede any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof.
     15.  Miscellaneous .
          (a) Amendments . This Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated, and no rights or provisions may be waived, except with the written consent of the Majority Holders and the Company.

Each party further waives any objection to venue in New York and any objection to an action or proceeding in such state and county on the basis of forum non conveniens . Each party also waives any right to trial by jury.
          (c) Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns. This Agreement shall also be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any transferee of any of the Registrable Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time any Holder shall cease to own any Registrable Shares, all of such Holder’s rights under this Agreement shall immediately terminate.
          (d) Notices .

Exhibit 99.1
Novint Technologies Completes Institutional Capital Raise
$9 Million Raise as Company Prepares to Ship Revolutionary New Game Controller, the Novint Falcon
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Novint Technologies (OTCBB: NVNT News ), which develops, markets, and licenses technology that adds realistic virtual touch to computing, announced today that it has completed a $9 million capital raise led by institutional investors. Proceeds will be used to take Novint’s products to market.
The Company’s flagship product, the Novint Falcon game controller lets users experience video games and other computer applications using a realistic and detailed sense of touch. Holding its handle, users feel three-dimensional shapes, textures, weight, dimension and force feedback effects in enabled games.
CEO Tom Anderson said, “This is an enormous milestone for Novint. We have just received our first shipment of Novint Falcons from our manufacturing line in China, and are previewing many of our 3D touch games at a leading industry event this week. Now, having closed this funding round, we have the resources to take these products to market, create many more powerful games, and introduce to the world an entirely new field of computing. It is my hope, and I think realistic, that this round will take us to profitability.”
Marvin Maslow, a director and an early investor in Novint, added, “People are consistently astounded with this technology, as I was when I first tried it. After one plays with the Novint Falcon, one can never go back to traditional game playing. It would be like going back to black and white TV or silent movies.”
This capital raise was completed as a unit offering with a unit price of $1.00, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one 5 year warrant at a $1.50 exercise price. The aggregate amount of capital raised was $9 million with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $8.6 million. The shares of common stock issued in the private placement and issuable upon exercise of the warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be subsequently offered or sold by the investors absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Novint Technologies has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the securities issued in this transaction and issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
