Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 28, 2009, Bioheart, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice of an event of default (the “Default Notice”) under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2007 (as amended from time to time, the “BlueCrest Agreement”), between BlueCrest Venture Finance Master Fund Limited, as assignee of BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. (the “Lender”) and the Company, as borrower. The Default Notice was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2009.
On February 2, 2009, the Company received from the Lender a notice of acceleration of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and demanded repayment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Loan, including late charges, in the aggregate amount of $2,947,045. A copy of the acceleration notice from the Lender was filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2009. (The acceleration notice, together with the Default Notice, are referred to as the “Notices”).
The Company and the Lender entered into an Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement as of April 2, 2009 (the “Amendment”), that, among other things, includes the Lender’s agreement to forbear from exercising any of its rights or remedies regarding the defaults described in Notices (the “Forbearance”) as long as there are no new defaults under the BlueCrest Agreement, as amended.
The Amendment, (a) increases the amount of permitted unsecured indebtedness of the Company, (b) amended the amortization schedule for the Loan, and (c) prohibits the Company from granting any lien against its intellectual property and grants to the Lender a lien against the Company’s intellectual property that will become effective in the event of a default. In addition, the Company issued the Lender a warrant to purchase $700,000 of the Company’s common shares at a price per share equal to the average closing price over the preceding five (5) trading days.
The effectiveness of the Amendment was conditioned on (i) the Company’s payment to the Lender of a fee of $15,000 prior to April 15, 2009, (ii) Hunton & Williams delivering to the Lender prior to April 10, 2009, a subordination agreement for the indebtedness owed to them by the Company, (iii) the payment to the Lender of accrued interest in the amount of $126,077, (iv) consents to the Amendment from each subordinated lender, including Bank of America, and (v) the delivery by the Company of each of the closing documents.
All conditions to the effectiveness of the Amendment, including all deliveries of documents by the Company and others, and all payments by the Company, have been satisfied.
A copy of the Amendment and each of the closing documents are filed herewith as exhibits.

(“ Lender ”), and Bioheart, Inc., a Florida corporation (“ Borrower ”).
RECITALS
          A. Borrower and Lender are parties to the Loan and Security Agreement (No. V07107) dated as of May 31, 2007, as amended from time to time (the “ Loan Agreement ”), pursuant to which Lender has agreed to provide certain financial accommodations to or for the benefit of Borrower upon the terms and conditions contained therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
          B. Borrower has informed Lender that an Event of Default (the “ Existing Default ”) has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.1(a) of the Loan Agreement as a result of Borrower’s failure to pay amounts due as scheduled for January 2009, February 2009 and March 2009 with respect to the Term Loan under the Loan Agreement.
          C. Borrower has requested that Lender forbear from exercising its rights and remedies as a result of the Existing Default and that Lender consider amending the Loan Agreement to restructure the terms and conditions thereof.
          D. Lender is willing to amend the Loan Agreement and forbear from exercising its rights and remedies as a result of the Existing Default, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender hereby agree as follows:
1. Ratification and Incorporation of Loan Agreement and Other Agreements . Except as expressly modified by this Agreement, Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and ratifies all of the terms and conditions set forth in, and all of its obligations under, the Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that as of April 1, 2009, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan was $2,943,431.78, and (ii) accrued but unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loan was $126,077.00. Borrower represents that it has no offset, defense, counterclaim, dispute or disagreement of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the amount of such indebtedness.
2. Forbearance in Respect of Existing Default .
          2.1 Acknowledgment . Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Existing Default has occurred and is continuing, and that the Existing Default entitles Lender to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and applicable law, and Borrower further represents and warrants that as of the date hereof no Defaults or Events of Default have occurred and are continuing other than the Existing Default. Lender has not waived, presently

 


 

does not intend to waive and may never waive the Existing Default, and nothing contained herein or in the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to constitute any such waiver. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender has the presently exercisable right to declare Borrower’s Liabilities to be immediately due and payable under the terms of the Loan Agreement but that Lender has agreed to forbear from exercising such rights in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
          2.2 Forbearance .
               (a) In reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of Borrower contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any documents or instruments executed in connection herewith, Lender agrees, during the period (the “ Forbearance Term ”) beginning as of the date hereof and ending on the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default other than the Existing Default, to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and Other Agreements in respect of or arising out of the Existing Default, subject to the conditions, amendments and modifications contained herein.
               (b) Upon the termination of the Forbearance Term, the agreement of Lender to forbear shall automatically and without further action terminate and be of no force and effect, it being expressly agreed that the effect of such termination will be for Lender to have the right in its sole discretion to exercise such rights and remedies immediately, without any further notice, passage of time or forbearance of any kind.
          2.3 No Waivers; Reservation of Rights .
               (a) Lender has not waived, is not by this Agreement waiving, and has no intention of waiving, any Defaults or Events of Default that may be continuing on the date hereof (including the Existing Default) or any Defaults or Events of Default that may occur after the date hereof (whether similar to the Existing Default or otherwise), and Lender has not agreed to forbear with respect to any of its rights or remedies concerning any Defaults or Events of Default (other than, during the Forbearance Term, the Existing Default to the extent expressly set forth herein), that may have occurred or are continuing as of the date hereof or that may occur after the date hereof.
               (b) Subject to Section 2.2 above (solely with respect to the Existing Default), Lender reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to exercise any or all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and the Other Agreements as a result of any Defaults or Events of Default that may be continuing on the date hereof or any Defaults or Event of Default that may occur after the date hereof, and Lender has not waived any of such rights or remedies, and nothing in this Agreement, and no delay on its part in exercising any such rights or remedies, should be construed as a waiver of any such rights or remedies.
               (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender hereby waives its right to collect interest at the default rate provided under the Loan Agreement for the period commencing on date of the acceleration notice, February 2, 2009, through the date hereof.

Grantor will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby the Patents or Patent Registrations may become abandoned or dedicated or the remedies available against potential infringers weakened and shall notify Lender immediately if it knows of any reason or has reason to know that any such Patent Registration may become abandoned or dedicated, unless Grantor, in the exercise of its prudent business judgment, deems any such Patent not to have any significant commercial value.

Effective as of the Trigger Date, Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact and agrees that Lender may perform (but Lender shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to Grantor or any third party for failure so to do) any act which Grantor is obligated by this Security Agreement to perform, and to exercise such rights and powers as Grantor might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to (a) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for all royalties, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (b) insure, process, preserve and enforce the Collateral; (c) make any compromise or settlement, and take any commercially reasonable action it deems advisable, with respect to the Collateral; (d) pay any indebtedness of Grantor relating to the Collateral; and (e) execute UCC financing statements and other documents, instruments and agreements required hereunder; provided , however , that Lender shall exercise such powers only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Grantor agrees that the Indemnities do not assume, and shall have no responsibility for, the payment of any sums due or to become due under any agreement or contract included in the Collateral or the performance of any obligations to be performed under or with respect to any such agreement or contract by Grantor, and Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless with respect to any and all claims by any Person relating thereto.
          (b) Grantor hereby releases the Indemnitees from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by Lender under the powers of attorney granted in Section 5 hereof, other than actions or omissions determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen through the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitees.
          (c) Grantor agrees to cause Lender to be named as an additional insured with respect to any policy of insurance held by Grantor from time to time, if any, covering product liability or intellectual property infringement risk.
          (d) Nothing contained in this Section 8 shall, however, be deemed to require Grantor to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnitee from or against any losses, costs, suits, expenses, claims or damages to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from any such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
      9.  Miscellaneous .

     (g)  Termination of this Security Agreement . Subject to Section 9(f) , this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the later to occur of the full, complete and final payment of the Secured Obligations and the termination of Lender’s commitments under the Loan Agreement.

Exhibit 2.6
SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
     This Subordination Agreement (hereinafter “Agreement”) is entered into and is effective this 2nd day of April 2009 by and between BlueCrest Venture Finance Master Fund Limited (“BlueCrest”) and Hunton & Williams, LLP with an office located at 1111 Brickell Avenue, Suite 2500, Miami, Florida 33131 (“Hunton”).
RECITALS
     A. At various times between June 2005 and March 2009, Hunton has provided Bioheart, Inc. (“Debtor”) legal representation in connection with a number of different legal matters and as of the date hereof, Debtor owes Hunton an aggregate of approximately $385,000 (the “ Subordinated Debt ”) for services provided in connection with the Legal Representation.
     B. BlueCrest has provided credit facilities or arrangements to Debtor, including, without limitation, those facilities provided under that certain Loan and Security Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) between BlueCrest and Debtor and, as of the date hereof, the aggregate outstanding principal and interest due on such facilities is approximately $3,070,000 (the outstanding amount referred to herein as the “Senior Debt”). In connection with the Senior Debt, BlueCrest has obtained a first position security interest in certain tangible and intangible assets of the Debtor and all cash and non-cash proceeds and products thereof which are described on the attached Schedule B (“BlueCrest Collateral”). (Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.)
     C. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Hunton and BlueCrest agree that Hunton will subordinate its right to repayment of the Subordinated Debt. .
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     1.  Disclaimer of Interest; Subordination by Hunton . (a) Lender disclaims any security interest which it may now or hereafter have in any collateral of Debtor, including the BlueCrest Collateral. Hunton hereby agrees that BlueCrest’s security interest in the BlueCrest Collateral is and shall be prior to all liens, claims and interests of Hunton under the Subordinated Debt.
(b) Hunton hereby subordinates payment by Debtor of the Subordinated Debt to the payment to BlueCrest, in full in cash, of all Senior Debt; provided , however , that any outstanding principal of and/or interest on the Subordinated Debt that is exchanged for or converted into the equity securities of Debtor shall not constitute repayment that is subject to subordination under this Agreement. Hunton agrees not to ask for, demand, take or receive payment in respect of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, including any interest payable thereon or in respect thereof, or take any enforcement action in respect thereof, unless and until all of the Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash and all obligations of BlueCrest to extend credit to Debtor have been irrevocably terminated.
Hunton represents and warrants that set forth on Schedule A attached hereto is its complete legal name and address, and the outstanding principal amount of Subordinated Debt owing by Debtor to Hunton as of the date hereof and that, except for this Agreement, Hunton has not executed any intercreditor agreements or subordination agreements with respect to the Subordinated Debt or Debtor. Hunton agrees that upon any distribution of the assets or readjustment of the indebtedness of Debtor by reason of liquidation, composition, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other similar action or proceeding (individually and collectively, a “Proceeding”), BlueCrest shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all of the Senior Debt prior to the payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, and in order to enable BlueCrest to enforce its rights hereunder in any Proceeding, BlueCrest is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered in its discretion (but without any obligation on its part), in connection with any Proceeding, to make and present for and on behalf of Hunton such proofs of claim against Debtor on account of the Subordinated Debt as BlueCrest may deem expedient or proper and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply same on account of the Senior Debt. Hunton further agrees to execute and deliver to BlueCrest such assignments or other instruments as may be required by BlueCrest in order to enable BlueCrest, in connection with any

1


 

Proceeding, to enforce any and all such claims and to collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements which may be made at any time on account of all and any of the Subordinated Debt.
     (c) Hunton shall endorse all notes and other written evidence of the Subordinated Debt with a statement that it is subordinated to the Senior Debt pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in such form as BlueCrest shall require, and, promptly upon BlueCrest’s request, Hunton will exhibit the originals of such notes and other written evidence of the Subordinated Debt to BlueCrest so that BlueCrest can confirm that such endorsement has been made, but this Agreement shall be fully effective, even if no such endorsement is made. In furtherance of the foregoing, the notes in respect of the Subordinated Debt shall be legended as follows:
     THIS NOTE, AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE DEBTOR HEREUNDER, HAVE BEEN SUBORDINATED TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF DEBTOR TO BLUECREST VENTURE FINANCE MASTER FUND LIMITED (“BLUECREST”) AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES DATED AS OF APRIL 2, 2009 (THE “SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT”). LENDER AND ANY SUBSEQUENT HOLDER HEREOF SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT UNTIL PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE SENIOR DEBT (AS DEFINED IN THE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT)TO BLUECREST AND SUCH SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
     (d) All terms used and not otherwise defined herein which are defined in Article 9 of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code shall have the meanings assigned to them in Article 9 of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
     2.  Extent of Subordination. The subordinations and priorities specified herein are applicable irrespective of the time, manner or order of attachment or perfection of any security interests, liens or claims, or the time or order of filing of any financing statements, or the giving or failure to give notice of the acquisition or expected acquisition of any purchase money security interests or other security interests; provided, however, if, for any reason, a security interest, lien or claim of a party to which a security interest, lien or claim of the other party is hereby subordinated is not perfected or is avoidable, then the subordination of such security interest, lien or claim of such other party shall not be effective as to the particular collateral which is the subject of the unperfected or avoidable security interest, lien or claim.
     3.  Continuing Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination. Subject to Section 6(b), the subordinations and priorities specified herein shall remain in full force and effect until all Senior Debt is paid in full and all contractual commitments by BlueCrest to extend credit to Debtor have terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude any party, without notice to the other parties, from lending money, extending credit or providing other financial services to or on behalf of Debtor; provided that any such loans, extensions of creditor other financial services by Hunton shall be subordinated to the rights of BlueCrest as provided herein. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall not be amended except with the written consent of Hunton and BlueCrest.
     4.  Payments Held in Trust . In the event that Hunton receives any payment (of any kind or character) of any Subordinated Debt which at the time paid or received is in violation of or is prohibited under this Agreement, except for equity securities of Debtor received by Hunton upon conversion or exchange of its Subordinated Debt, Hunton shall: (a) not credit such payments against the Subordinated Debt, (b) promptly notify BlueCrest in writing thereof, and (c) receive the same in trust for BlueCrest and promptly pay and deliver the same to BlueCrest in precisely the form received, except for any requisite endorsement or assignment, which Hunton will make and hereby authorizes BlueCrest or any of its officers or authorized employees to make in the event that Hunton does not make the same. BlueCrest will apply any such moneys so received by it to the Senior Debt and will hold any property other than money so received by it as Collateral therefor. If Hunton fails to make any endorsement or assignment required hereunder, BlueCrest is hereby appointed attorney-in-fact for Hunton, with full power of substitution, to make any such endorsement or assignment. Such power of attorney being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash and all obligations of BlueCrest to extend credit to Debtor have been irrevocably terminated.
     5.  Waivers; Consents. No delay on the part of Hunton or BlueCrest in exercising any right, power or privilege granted hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no purported waiver of any default, breach or violation of any

2


 

term or provision contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of such term or provision unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving party. No such waiver shall in any event be deemed a waiver of any subsequent or other default, breach or violation. The rights or remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the parties would otherwise have. Hunton agrees that BlueCrest may at any time, and from time to time (a) extend the time of payment of or renew the Senior Debt, (b) receive and hold security for the payment of the Senior Debt and enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell or otherwise dispose of any such security, or (c) make any agreement with Debtor or with any other party or person liable on the Senior Debt, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof (in whole or in part), or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between BlueCrest and Debtor or any such other party or person, without in any way impairing or affecting this Agreement.
     6.  Termination; Reinstatement . (a) This Agreement may be terminated upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice by one party to the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall impair the rights or priorities created or acquired hereunder by either of the parties prior to the effective date of the termination. The notice of termination and other notices given in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given when received if personally delivered or sent by overnight courier or five (5) business days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Hunton and to BlueCrest, with a copy to Debtor, at their respective offices set forth above, or to such other address designated by such party by notice to the other.
     (b) If BlueCrest is required in any Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of Debtor, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the Senior Debt shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and repayment in full of the Senior Debt shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto.
     7.  Independent Investigation. Neither BlueCrest nor Hunton shall be responsible to the other for Debtor’s solvency or condition (financial or otherwise), statements, representations or warranties (whether oral or written), the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the documents executed by Debtor or the validity, sufficiency, enforceability or priority of any security interests granted by Debtor in connection therewith. Each of Hunton and BlueCrest have entered into their respective financing arrangements with Debtor based on their own investigation, and neither has made any representation or warranty to the other with respect to the matters described in this paragraph, nor relied upon any such representation or warranty by the other.
     8.  Successors and Assigns; Assignment . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. References herein to each party shall be deemed to refer to such party and its successors and assigns. No other person shall have or obtain any right, benefit, priority or interest under this Agreement. Any assignment by either party of any security interest, lien or claim in any of the BlueCrest Collateral or any financing statement covering the same shall be subject to this Agreement.
     9.  Attorneys’ Fees and Costs . In the event of any dispute between the parties arising in relation to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, in addition to all other sums to which it may be entitled.
     10.  Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois (without giving effect to its laws of conflicts) and to the extent applicable, federal law.
     11.  JURY WAIVER . LENDER AND BLUECREST HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AMONG DEBTOR, LENDER AND BLUECREST ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS DOCUMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO BLUECREST TO PROVIDE OR CONTINUE PROVIDING THE FINANCING EVIDENCED BY THE SENIOR DEBT.

The foregoing payments include interest at the Loan Interest Rate, which is precomputed for the period ending when such payments are due and on the assumption that all payments will be made on their respective due dates.
Any Interest Only Payment or Periodic Payment which is past due for a period in excess of five (5) days after its due date shall be overdue and shall be subject to a service charge in an amount equal to two percent (2 %) of the delinquent amount, but not more than the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.

Borrower shall additionally be liable for any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by Lender in collecting any sums due from Borrower to Lender including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable legal expenses incurred by Lender if this note is placed with an attorney for collection.
Demand, presentment for payment, notice of non-payment and protest are hereby waived by the undersigned.
This Note is made by Borrower and delivered to Lender in relation to that certain Loan and Security Agreement No. dated as of May 31, 2007 (“Loan Agreement”) by and between Borrower and Lender, as assignee of BlueCrest Capital Finance, L.P. and as amended by an Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement between Lender and Borrower, dated as of April 2, 2009 (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”).

Upon an “Event of Default,” as defined in the Loan Agreement, this Note may become or be declared due in the manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Agreement.

None of the rights or remedies of Lender (or its registered assigns) hereunder or under the Loan Agreement are to be deemed waived or affected by any failure to exercise same.
All remedies conferred upon Lender (or its registered assigns) under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any other instrument or agreement to which the undersigned or any guarantor hereof is a party or under any or all of them is bound, shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and such remedies may be exercised concurrently or consecutively at the option of Lender or its registered assigns.

The number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as provided below. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein. This Warrant is issued in connection with the Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), made as of April 2, 2009 by and between BlueCrest and the Company.
     1.  Term of Warrant . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, during the term commencing on the Warrant Issue Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the ten year anniversary of the Warrant Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”), and shall be void thereafter.
     2.  Exercise Price . The price at which this Warrant may be exercised shall be $0.5321 per share of Common Stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 14 hereof (the “Exercise Price”).
     3.  Exercise of Warrant .

 


 

          (a) In accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1(c) below, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time during the period commencing on the date that is three hundred and sixty-six (366) days following the Warrant Issue Date (the “ One Year Exercise Date ”).
          (b) During the period that this Warrant is exercisable in accordance with Sections 1(a) above, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by presentation and surrender of this Warrant and the delivery of the Notice of Exercise Form duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder and, if the date of exercise is prior to an Initial Public Offering, the Shareholders Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B , duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such Notice of Exercise Form. Payment may be made (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check, payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by cancellation by the Holder of indebtedness or other obligations of the Company to the Holder, or (iii) by a combination of the consideration described in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company undertakes undergoes a sale or merger transaction, then (A) if the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 3(d) below) of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 3(d) below or (B) if the Fair Market Value of one Share is less than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.
          (c) 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 entitled to receive the Warrant Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Warrant 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) days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the person or persons 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 number of shares for which this Warrant may then be exercised.
          (d) Net Issue Exercise . Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of making payment of the consideration provided for in Section 3(a) above upon the exercise of all or any part of this Warrant, the Holder may surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with the duly executed Notice of Exercise Form and, if the date of exercise is prior to the Initial Public Offering, the duly executed Shareholders Agreement, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X =      Y (A – B)
                 A

2


 

         
 
  X =   the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon exercise
 
       
 
  Y =   the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
 
       
 
  A =   the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
 
       
 
  B =   the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
For purposes of the above calculation, the term “Fair Market Value” shall mean (i) if the principal market for the Common Stock is The NASDAQ Stock Market or any other national securities exchange, the last sales price of the Common Stock on such day as reported by such exchange or market, or on a consolidated tape reflecting transactions on such exchange or market, (ii) if the principal market for the Common Stock is not a national securities exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market and the Common Stock is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System, the mean between the closing bid and the closing asked prices for the Common Stock on such day as quoted on such System or (iii) if the Common Stock is not quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System, the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on such day as reported by Pink Sheets LLC; provided, however, that if none of (i), (ii) or (iii) above is applicable, or if no trades have been made or no quotes are available for such day, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be reasonably determined, in good faith, by the Board of Directors of the Company.
     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 of Shareholders . Subject to Sections 12, 14 and 16 of this Warrant, 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 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,

3


 

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.

     15.  Piggyback Registration Rights
          15.1. If at any time during the period commencing on the Six Month Post-IPO Exercise Date and ending on the Expiration Date (the “ Piggyback Registration Period ”), the Company proposes to register any shares of its Common Stock under the Securities Act on any form for registration thereunder (the “ Registration Statement ”) for its own account or the account of shareholders (other than a registration solely relating to (i) shares of Common Stock underlying a stock option, restricted stock, stock purchase or compensation or incentive plan or of stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, or a dividend investment plan; (ii) a registration of securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of, or in connection with a merger or consolidation with, another corporation or other entity; or (iii) a registration of securities proposed to be issued in exchange for other securities of the Company), it will at such time give prompt written notice to the Holder of its intention to do so (the “ Section 15.1 Notice ”). Upon the written request of the Holder given to the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any Section 15.1 Notice setting forth the number of shares of Warrant Shares intended to be disposed of by the Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof, the Company will include or cause to be included in the Registration Statement the shares of Warrant Shares which the Holder has requested to register, to the extent provided in this Section 15 (a “ Piggyback Registration ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at any time, withdraw or cease proceeding with any registration pursuant to this Section 15.1 if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all of the Common Stock originally proposed to be registered. The Company shall be obligated to file and cause the effectiveness of only one (1) Piggyback Registration; provided however, that to the extent that shares for which registration is requested pursuant hereto are excluded under Section 15.5, such shares shall be eligible for Piggyback Registration, notwithstanding the one Piggyback Registration limit. The shares of Warrant Shares set forth in the Section 15.1 Notice are referred to for purposes of this Section 15 as the Registrable Shares ”.
          15.2 Company Covenants . Whenever required under this Section 15 to include Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
          (a) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of the Holder having completed the distribution of all its Registrable Shares described in the Registration Statement or six (6) months from the effective date of the Registration Statement (or such later date by reason of suspensions the effectiveness as provided hereunder). The Company will also use its commercially reasonable efforts to, during the period that such Registration Statement is required to be maintained hereunder, file such post-effective amendments and supplements thereto as may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the Registration Statement does not contain any untrue

10


 

statement of material fact or omit to state a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that if applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement, the Company may incorporate by reference information required to be included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) in the Registration Statement.
          (b) Prepare and file with the Unites States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement.
          (c) Furnish to the Holder such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus as amended or supplemented from time to time, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Shares owned by the Holder; provided that, in no event, shall the Company be required to incur printing expenses in excess of $1,000 in complying with its obligations under this Section 15.2(c).
          (d) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other federal or state securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holder; provided, however, 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, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.
          (e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering.
          (f) Notify the Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (a) when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (b) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose (in which event the Company shall make use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending effectiveness of the Registration Statement. at the earliest possible time or prevent the entry thereof); (c) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (d) of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or

11


 

necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
          (g) Cause all such Registrable Shares registered hereunder to be listed on each exchange or quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted.
          (h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder and CUSIP number for all such Registrable Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.
          15.3 Furnish Information . In connection with a registration in which the Holder is participating, such Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, the Holder shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information related to such Holder as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.
          15.4 Expenses of Company Registration . All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 15.1, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees and fees, disbursements of counsel for the Company and disbursements of counsel for the Holder up to $10,000 (the “ Registration Expenses ”) shall be borne by the Company.
          15.5 Underwriting Requirements . In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 15.1 to include any of the Holder’s Registrable Shares in such underwriting unless the Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole and reasonable discretion will not materially jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company, and the Holder enters into such lock-up agreements as may be reasonably required of other selling shareholders in such Registration Statement. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Shares, requested by shareholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole and reasonable discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Shares, which the underwriters determine in their sole and reasonable discretion will not materially jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling shareholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling shareholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling shareholders). For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder who is a holder of Registrable Shares and is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and shareholders of such holder, or the estates and family members

12


 

of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling shareholder”, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling shareholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling shareholder”, as defined in this sentence.
          15.6 Indemnification . In the event that any Registrable Shares are included in a Registration Statement under this Section 15.
          (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will promptly indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “ Violation ”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) 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) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Company will pay to the Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, 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 15.6(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), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action incurred by the Holder, underwriter or controlling person to the extent that such party’s loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such party.
          (b) To the extent permitted by law, the Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any underwriter, any other holder selling securities in such Registration Statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 15.6(b), in connection with investigating or defending

13


 

any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 15.6(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 the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided , further , that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 15.6(b) exceed 20% of the cash value of the gross proceeds from the offering received by the Holder.
          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 15.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 15.6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 15.6, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 15.6.
          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 15.6 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 therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable 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 resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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 alleged 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) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

14


 

          (f) The obligations of the Company and the Holder under this Section 15.6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement under this Section 15, and otherwise.
          15.7. Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 . With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holder to sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the public without registration, commencing immediately after the date on which a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act becomes effective, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
          (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
          (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
          (c) furnish to the Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Shares, forthwith upon request (i) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
          15.8. Permitted Transferees . The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Shares granted to the Holder by the Company under this Section 15 may be assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by the Holder of its Registrable Shares or Warrants if: (a) the Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; (b) such transferee agrees to comply with and be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (c) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and (d) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable securities laws. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 15.8, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Shares as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of the Holder therein to be forfeited.
          15.9 Termination of Registration Rights . The Holder shall no longer be entitled to exercise any registration rights provided for in Section 15.1 after such time at which all Registrable Shares held by the Holder can be sold in any three-month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144 of the Act.
     16.  Information . So long as the Holder holds the Warrant and/or shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, promptly after mailing, copies of all notices, reports, financial statements, proxies or other written communication delivered or mailed to the holders of the Common Stock.
     17.  Descriptive Headings . The description headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant.

15


 

     18.  Governing Law . This Warrant shall be construed and enforced under the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflicts of law provisions
     19.  Waiver of Jury Trial . THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY.
