AMERI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
 


NOTE 1.              ORGANIZATION:
 
AMERI Holdings, Inc., along with its wholly owned subsidiaries ("AMERI", the "Company", "we", or "our"), is a strategic consulting firm that brings a synergistic blend of classic consulting and product-based consulting services to its customer base. Headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, we typically go to market both vertically by industry and horizontally by product/technology specialties and provide our customers with a wide range of business and technology offerings. We work with customers, primarily within North America, to improve process, reduce costs and increase revenue through the judicious use of technology.
 

NOTE 2.              BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying audited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AMERI pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading.

The accompanying audited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which were of a normal, recurring nature) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the interim periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying audited condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year. Our revenue and earnings may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on factors within and outside our control, including variability in demand for information technology professional services, the length of the sales cycle associated with our service offerings, the number, size, and scope of our projects and the efficiency with which we utilize our employees.  Substantially all of our revenue is generated within North America.

Our comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) plus or minus any periodic currency translation adjustments.
 

NOTE 3.              BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:
 
Acquisition of Bellsoft, Inc.   Bellsoft, Inc . ("Bellsoft") is a consulting company based in Lawrenceville, Georgia with over 175 consultants specialized in the areas of SAP software, business intelligence, data warehousing and other enterprise resource planning services.  Bellsoft has operations in the United States and in India. On November 20, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Bellsoft for the consideration listed below.  For financial accounting purposes, the Company recognizes September 1, 2015 as the effective date of the acquisition.
 
1. A cash payment in the amount of $3,000,000 at closing,
2. 235,295 shares of AMERI's common stock issued at closing,
3. $250,000 quarterly cash payments to be paid on the last day of each calendar quarter of 2016,
4. A $1,000,000 cash reimbursement to be paid 5 days following closing to compensate Bellsoft for a portion of its approximate cash balance as of September 1, 2015,
5. Approximately $2,500,000 to be paid within 30 days of closing in connection with the excess of Bellsoft's accounts receivable over its accounts payable as of September 1, 2015, and
6.
Earn-out payments of approximately $500,000 a year for 2016 and 2017, if earned through the achievement of annual revenue and EBITDA targets specified in the Bellsoft purchase agreement, subject to downward or upward adjustment depending on actual results.  In the first quarter of 2016 the Company adjusted the estimate for the earnout to be paid from $400,000 to $500,000, a year for 2016 and 2017, respectively.
 
The Company and Bellsoft expect closing of open items during 2016 with the exception of any 2017 earned-out payment.

AMERI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
Simultaneously with our acquisition of Bellsoft, Bellsoft entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the "Credit Facility") with Federal National Payables, Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Federal National Commercial Credit (the "Lender" or "FNCC"). Up to $6 million principal amount of advances may be extended under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility will be used to pay a portion of the costs associated with the acquisition of Bellsoft, with the balance being available for general working capital of Bellsoft. The Credit Facility has a term of two years, which will automatically renew unless a written notice of termination is given by Bellsoft or the Lender to the other at least 60 days prior to the end of the original or any renewed term. Interest under the Credit Facility will accrue on the higher of (a) the outstanding principal amount of advances under the Credit Facility and (b) $2,000,000 at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 1.00%, which will be payable monthly in arrears. With each payment of interest, Bellsoft will also pay a servicing fee of 0.38% multiplied by the higher of (a) the average daily principal amount of advances under the Credit Facility for the previous calendar month or portion thereof and (b) $2,000,000. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of Bellsoft's assets. The amounts borrowed by Bellsoft under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us.
 
Reverse Merger . On May 26, 2015, we completed a "reverse merger" transaction, in which we caused Ameri100 Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our newly created, wholly owned subsidiary, to be merged with and into Ameri and Partners (dba Ameri100), a Delaware corporation (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, Ameri and Partners became our wholly owned subsidiary with Ameri and Partners' former stockholders acquiring a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The Merger was consummated under Delaware law, pursuant to an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 26, 2015 (the "Merger Agreement"). Concurrently with the closing of the Merger, we issued a 5% Unsecured Convertible Note (the "Note") due May 26, 2017, in the principal amount of $5,000,000, together with a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock, in a private placement to Lone Star Value Investors, LP ("Lone Star Value"), pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 26, 2015. Prior to the Merger, Lone Star Value was our majority shareholder.
 

4.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
 
The Company recognizes revenue primarily through the provision of consulting services. We generate revenue by providing consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. The service contracts we enter into generally fall into two specific categories: time and materials and fixed-price.

We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We establish billing terms at the time at which the project deliverables and milestones are agreed. Our standard payment terms are 60 days from invoice date.

When a customer enters into a time and materials, fixed-price, or a periodic retainer-based contract, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with its evaluation of the deliverables in each contract. If the deliverables represent separate units of accounting, the Company then measures and allocates the consideration from the arrangement to the separate units, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the value for each deliverable.

The revenue under time and materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. We routinely evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognized in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance on our fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project. This method is used because reasonably dependable estimates of costs and revenue earned can be made, based on historical experience and milestones identified in any particular contract. If we do not have a sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of performance, subject to any warranty provisions or other project management assessments as to the status of work performed.

Estimates of total project costs are continuously monitored during the term of an engagement. There are situations where the number of hours to complete projects may exceed our original estimate, as a result of an increase in project scope, unforeseen events that arise, or the inability of the client or the delivery team to fulfill their responsibilities. Accordingly, recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision throughout the life of a project based on current information and historical trends. Such revisions may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified.

If our initial estimates of the resources required or the scope of work to be performed on a contract are inaccurate, or we do not manage the project properly within the planned time period, a provision for estimated losses on incomplete projects may be made. Any known or probable losses on projects are charged to operations in the period in which such losses are determined. A formal project review process takes place quarterly, although projects are continuously evaluated throughout the period. Management reviews the estimated total direct costs on each contract to determine if the estimated amounts are accurate, and estimates are adjusted as needed in the period identified. No losses were recognized on contracts during the period ended March 31, 2016.

NOTE 5.              SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:


On April 20, 2015, our Board of Directors and the holder of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock approved the adoption of our 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan") and a grant of discretionary authority to the executive officers to implement and administer the Plan. The Plan allows for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for award grants (all of which can be incentive stock options). The Plan provides equity-based compensation through the grant of cash-based awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, and other stock-based awards. We believe that an adequate reserve of shares available for issuance under the Plan is necessary to enable us to attract, motivate and retain key employees and directors and to provide an additional incentive for such individuals through stock ownership and other rights that promote and recognize the financial success and growth of our Company.  During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we granted options to purchase 105,000 shares of our common stock to employees.
 

NOTE 6.              INCOME TAXES:


The Company recorded a tax provision of $2,020 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The effective tax reflected our combined federal and state income tax rates and the recognition of U.S. deferred tax liabilities for differences between the book and tax basis of goodwill.

We assess the reliability of our deferred tax assets and assess the need for a valuation allowance on an ongoing basis. The periodic assessment of the net carrying value of our deferred tax assets under the applicable accounting rules is highly judgmental. We are required to consider all available positive and negative evidence in evaluating the likelihood that we will be able to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets in the future. Such evidence includes scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the results of recent operations. Since this evaluation requires consideration of events that may occur some years into the future, there is significant judgment involved, and our conclusion could be materially different should certain of our expectations not transpire.

We have reviewed the tax positions taken, or to be taken, in our tax returns for all tax years currently open to examination by a taxing authority. As of March 31, 2016, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits exclusive of interest and penalties was zero. We have identified no other uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the twelve months ending December 31, 2016. We remain subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for each respective tax jurisdiction.
 
 
NOTE 7.              INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

We amortize our intangible assets that have finite lives using either the straight-line method or based on estimated future cash flows to approximate the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset will be utilized. Amortization expense was $97,000 and $6,250 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This amortization expense relates to customer lists, which expire through 2020.

Estimated annual amortization expense (including amortization expense associated with capitalized software costs) for the current year and the following four years ending December 31 is as follows:
 
 
 
Amortization Expense

The Company has its own software products, namely Simple APO, Langer Index, and IBP.  Total costs incurred for developing these products during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $54,945 and have been capitalized. These costs will be amortized over the useful life once all substantial testing has been completed.
 
Of the acquisition consideration paid for Bellsoft, $1.81 million was for its customer list, which is considered an intangible asset that was acquired by the Company.

Share-based awards, inclusive of all grants made under the Company's equity plans, for which either the stock option exercise price or the fair value of the restricted share award exceeds the average market price over the period, have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the diluted computations for all periods presented.


As of March 31, 2016, there were approximately 338,189 share-based awards outstanding, respectively, under the Company's equity plans leaving 1,661,811 share-based units available under the Plan.  During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we granted options to purchase 105,000 shares of our common stock to employees.
 
Due to the Company's net loss, potential dilutive shares were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS on March 31, 2016, as it will have an antidilutive effect.
 

NOTE 9.           COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Operating Leases



The Company's principal facility is located in Princeton, New Jersey. The Company also leases office space in various locations with expiration dates between 2016 and 2018.  The lease agreements often include leasehold improvement incentives, escalating lease payments, renewal provisions, and other provisions which require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, or defined rent increases. All of the Company's leases are accounted for as operating leases.  Rent expense is recorded over the lease terms on a straight-line basis.  Rent expense was $26,222 and $3,312 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.  The increase during these periods is due to new office space that was leased by the Company in Princeton, New Jersey on July 1, 2015 and the addition of office space through the acquisition of Bellsoft.

The Company has entered into an operating lease for its primary office facility in Princeton, New Jersey, which expires in July 2017. The future minimum rental payments under these lease agreements are as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See "Risk Factors" and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" included elsewhere herein. We use the terms "we," "our," "us," "AMERI" and "the Company" in this report to refer to AMERI HOLDINGS, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Company History
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in February 1994 as Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc., which was a shell company immediately prior to the Merger, on May 26, 2015, in which we caused Ameri100 Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and our newly created, wholly owned subsidiary, to be merged with and into Ameri and Partners (dba Ameri100), a Delaware corporation. As a result of the Merger, Ameri and Partners became our wholly owned operating subsidiary.  The Merger was consummated under Delaware law, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in connection with the Merger we changed our name to AMERI Holdings, Inc. We are headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.

Overview

We are a next generation technology-management solutions firm.  We have built products and services to assist global 2000 companies by architecting and delivering the best technology solutions enabling customers to transform their business processes.  We have built a new method of measuring the effectiveness of technology deployments across large and medium size companies. Through acquisitions, we have built deep consulting expertise in business process management, robotic process automation, digital transformation services and enterprise resource planning particularly surrounding SAP software and technology.
 
We generate revenue primarily through the provision of consulting services. We generate revenue by providing consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. The service contracts we enter into generally fall into two specific categories: time and materials and fixed-price.

When a customer enters into a time and materials, fixed-price, or a periodic retainer-based contract, we recognize revenue in accordance with its evaluation of the deliverables in each contract. If the deliverables represent separate units of accounting, we then measure and allocate the consideration from the arrangement to the separate units, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the value for each deliverable.

The revenue under time and materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. We routinely evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognized in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance on our fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased by 63.7% from the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase in revenue is directly attributable to our acquisition of Bellsoft, Inc. We derived 100% of our revenues from our customers located in North America for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
 

- 13 -


 
 
Gross margin

Our gross margin percentage (gross margin as percentage of revenues) was 44.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 26.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") include all costs, including rent costs, which are not directly associated with revenue-generating activities.  These include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs.  Employee costs include selling, marketing and administrative salaries and related employee benefits, travel, recruiting and training costs.  Corporate costs include costs such as reorganization costs, legal, accounting and outside consulting fees.  Facilities costs primarily include rent and communications costs.


SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased to $3,641,686 from $33,720 and for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in SG&A is directly attributable to our acquisition of Bellsoft and increased corporate overhead.

Nonrecurring expenses

Nonrecurring expenditures of $375,405 occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and were primarily costs and expenses that are unlikely to occur again in the normal course of business. These expenditures included restructuring costs and legal fees. There were no nonrecurring expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Depreciation and amortization costs



Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $111,628 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $8,267 for the period ended March 31, 2015.  The increase in depreciation and amortization costs was primarily due to addition of assets and acquisition of Bellsoft Inc. customer lists.

Operating income

Our operating income percentage was (14.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to 25.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This change was mainly due to an increase in SG&A expenses and nonrecurring expenditures.

Income taxes



Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and year ended March 31, 2015, amounted to approximately $2,020 and $0, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash position was $505,173 as of March 31, 2016 as compared to $1,878,034 as of December 31, 2015, a decrease of $1,372,861 primarily as a result of working capital uses.  

Cash used by operating activities was $1,565,640 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and was primarily a result of net decreases from working capital. Cash used from investing activities was $48,672 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 due primarily to acquisitions and assets purchased for the purpose of providing future revenues.  Cash provided by financing activities was $241,451 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and was attributable to borrowing under our credit facility with FNCC.

Operating Activities

Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers for different information technology services we render under various statements of work. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel-related expenditures, leased facilities and taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies
Purchase Price Allocation.  We allocate the purchase price of our acquisitions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Some of the items, including accounts receivable, property and equipment, other intangible assets, certain accrued liabilities and other reserves require a degree of management judgment. Certain estimates may change as additional information becomes available. Goodwill is assigned at the enterprise level and is deductible for tax purposes for certain types of acquisitions. Management finalizes the purchase price allocation within the defined measurement period of the acquisition date as certain initial accounting estimates are resolved.

Valuation of Contingent Earn-out Consideration . Acquisitions may include contingent consideration payments based on the achievement of certain future financial performance measures of the acquired company. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities based on financial projections of the acquired companies and estimated probabilities of achievement. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. We evaluate, on a routine, periodic basis, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration and changes in estimated fair value, subsequent to the initial fair value estimate at the time of the acquisition, will be reflected in income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. Any changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration may have a material impact on our operating results.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with the Accounting Standard Codification 605 "Revenue Recognition." Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller's price to buyer is fixed and determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue from information technology services as the services are provided. Service revenues are recognized based on contracted hourly rates, as services are rendered or upon completion of specified contracted services and acceptance by the customer.
 
Accounts Receivable.    We extend credit to clients based upon management's assessment of their credit-worthiness on an unsecured basis. We provide an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience and management evaluation of trend analysis. We include any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowances for uncollectible accounts as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was $0.  Based on the information available, management believes our accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, are collectible.
 
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost. We provide for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease terms or the useful lives of the improvements. We charge repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the assets to expenses as incurred.

We account for computer software costs developed for internal use in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States, which require companies to capitalize certain qualifying costs during the application development stage of the related software development project and to exclude the initial planning phase that determines performance requirements, most data conversion, general and administrative costs related to payroll and training costs incurred. Whenever a software program is considered operational, we consider the project to be completed, place it into service, and commence amortization of the development cost in the succeeding month.

Management's Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being March 31, 2016, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Company's management, including our Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report as noted below in management's report on internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are made in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of this assessment, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process, which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS


On April 20, 2016, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Dhruwa N. Rai, pursuant to which Mr. Rai purchased 500,000 unregistered shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from us at a price per share of $6.00 for aggregate consideration to us of $3,000,000.

The issuance of the shares of common stock to Mr. Rai, the New Warrant and the shares of the Company's common stock exercisable for thereunder will be in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a private offering.  Such issuance of the shares to Mr. Rai and the New Warrant did not and the issuance of any shares of common stock exercisable under the New Warrant will not involve a public offering, and was made and will be made without general solicitation or advertising.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
To Purchase Shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock") of
AMERI HOLDINGS, INC.
THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, Lone Star Value Investors, LP (the " Purchaser " or " Holder ") is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on May 12, 2021 (the " Termination Date "), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from AMERI Holdings, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the " Warrant Shares ") at an exercise price equal to $6.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms hereof, the " Exercise Price ").  The Exercise Price and the number of shares for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein.
1.              Title of Warrant .  Prior to the expiration hereof and subject to compliance with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with (a) the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed, and (b) any other documentation reasonably necessary to satisfy the Company that such transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws.  The term " Holder " shall refer to the Purchaser or any subsequent transferee of this Warrant.
2.              Authorization of Shares .  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price as set forth herein, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue or otherwise specified herein).
3.              Exercise of Warrant.
(a)              The Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, by delivering (which may be by facsimile) to the offices of the Company or any transfer agent for the Common Stock this Warrant, together with a Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto specifying the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised, together with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price therefor.
 
Exhibit 4.3 -- Page 1

 

 
(b)              In the event that the Warrant is not exercised in full, the number of Warrant Shares shall be reduced by the number of such Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised and/or surrendered, and the Company, if requested by Holder and at its expense, shall within three (3) Trading Days (as defined below) issue and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (upon payment by Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, reflecting such adjusted Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless such Holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof.
Certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within three (3) Trading Days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.  The Holder may withdraw its Notice of Exercise at any time if the Company fails to timely deliver the relevant certificates to the Holder as provided in this Agreement.  A Notice of Exercise shall be deemed sent on the date of delivery if delivered before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such date, or the day following such date if delivered after 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time); provided that the Company is only obligated to deliver Warrant Shares against delivery of the Exercise Price from the holder hereof and surrender of this Warrant (or appropriate affidavit and/or indemnity in lieu thereof).
In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (" DTC ") Fast Automated Securities Transfer (" FAST ") program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise to the Holder, by crediting the account of the Holder's prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (" DWAC ") system. The time periods for delivery described above shall apply to the electronic transmittals through the DWAC system.  The Company agrees to coordinate with DTC to accomplish this objective.
(c)              The term " Trading Day " means a day on which there is trading on the principal market, exchange, or quotation service on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading (the " Principal Market ").
 
 
Exhibit 4.3 -- Page 2

 

 
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 issuance of a fractional share upon any exercise hereunder, the Company will either round up to nearest whole number of shares or pay the cash value of that fractional share, which cash value shall be calculated on the basis of the average closing price of the Common Stock during the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of exercise.
5.              Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder of this Warrant; provided , however , that in the event certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder hereof; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant certificates or any certificates for the Warrant Shares other than the issuance of a Warrant Certificate to the Holder in connection with the Holder's surrender of a Warrant Certificate upon the exercise of all or less than all of the Warrants evidenced thereby.
6.              Closing of Books .  The Company will at no time close its shareholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
7.              No Rights as Shareholder until Exercise .  Subject to Section 12 of this Warrant and the provisions of any other written agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Warrant Shares 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 Purchaser, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein. However, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3 hereof, the Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder shall be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised.
 
 
Exhibit 4.3 -- Page 3

 

 
8.              Assignment and Transfer of Warrant .  This Warrant may be assigned by the surrender of this Warrant and the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company or its transfer agent as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder hereof at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided, however, that this Warrant may not be resold or otherwise transferred except (i) in a transaction registered under the Act, or (ii) in a transaction pursuant to an exemption, if available, from registration under the Act and whereby, if reasonably requested by the Company, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company is obtained by the Holder of this Warrant to the effect that the transaction is so exempt.
9.              Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant; Exchange .  The Company represents, warrants and covenants that (a) upon receipt by the Company of evidence and/or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant or stock certificate representing the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (b) upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant or stock certificate, without any charge therefor.  This Warrant is exchangeable at any time for an equal aggregate number of Warrants of different denominations, as requested by the holder surrendering the same, or in such denominations as may be requested by the Holder following determination of the Exercise Price.  No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer, exchange or reissuance.
10.              Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc .  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday.
11.              Effect of Certain Events .  If at any time while this Warrant or any portion thereof is outstanding and unexpired there shall be a transaction (by merger or otherwise) in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of, the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to purchase, by exercise of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto, subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 12.
12.              Adjustments of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares .  The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price (as well as the maximum exercise price) shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 12.
 
 
Exhibit 4.3 -- Page 4

 

 
(a)              Subdivisions, Combinations, Stock Dividends and other Issuances .  If the Company shall, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity securities (including instruments or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities) in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Exercise Price (and maximum exercise price) shall be adjusted such that the Exercise Price, as adjusted, will be equal to the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.  The number of shares which may be purchased hereunder shall be increased proportionately to any reduction in Exercise Price pursuant to this paragraph 12(a), so that after such adjustments the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased number of shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect just prior to such adjustments.
(b)              Other Distributions .  If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution, liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than Common Stock), then the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be increased to equal: (i) the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event, (ii) multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined below) per share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market Value price per share of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend or distribution minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of the value (as jointly determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, other securities or property, so distributed. For purposes of this Warrant, " Fair Market Value " shall equal the average closing trading price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for the 5 Trading Days preceding the date of determination or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any Principal Market, and the average price cannot be determined as contemplated above, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors and the Holder. In the event of any adjustment pursuant to this Section, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to equal: (i) the Exercise Price in effect immediately before the occurrence of any such event (ii) multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately before the adjustment, and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the adjustment.
 
 
Exhibit 4.3 -- Page 5

 

 
(c)              Merger, etc .  If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into or a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity, then the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon or after such transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective, and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation, which would have been received by the Holder for the shares of stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant been exercised just prior to such transfer, merger or consolidation becoming effective or to the applicable record date thereof, as the case may be. The Company will not merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell or otherwise transfer its property, assets and business substantially as an entirety to another corporation, unless the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation (if not the Company), or such transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall expressly assume in writing the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company.
(d)              Reclassification, etc .  If at any time after the date hereof there shall be a reorganization or reclassification of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, then the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares or other securities or property resulting from such reorganization or reclassification, which would have been received by the Holder for the shares of stock subject to this Warrant had this Warrant at such time been exercised.
(e)              In the event of any adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder upon exercise, the Exercise Price shall be inversely proportionately increased or decreased as the case may be, such that aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares upon full exercise of this Warrant shall remain the same.  Similarly, in the event of any adjustment in the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder upon exercise shall be inversely proportionately increased or decreased as the case may be, such that aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares upon full exercise of this Warrant shall remain the same.
13.              Voluntary Adjustment by the Company .  The Company may at its option, at any time during the term of this Warrant, reduce but not increase the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
14.              Notice of Adjustment .  Whenever the number of Warrant Shares or number or kind of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price (or maximum exercise price) is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder of this Warrant a notice setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (and other securities or property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price of such Warrant Shares after such adjustment and setting forth the computation of such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED FOR OFFER OR SALE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS.
(b)              Without limiting the Purchaser's right to transfer, assign or otherwise convey the Warrant or Warrant Shares in compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Purchaser's own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and that the Purchaser will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of applicable federal and state securities laws.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

AMENDED AND RESTATED
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (" Agreement ") dated as of May 12, 2016, between AMERI Holdings, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), and Lone Star Value Investors, LP (the " Purchaser ").
W   I   T   N   E   S   S   E   T   H :
WHEREAS , the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of May 26, 2015 (the " Purchase Agreement ") pursuant to which, among other things, the Company issued a 5% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Note due May 26, 2017, as amended (the " Note "), and Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the " Original Warrant ") to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (" Common Stock "), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS , as of the date hereof, the Company issued a new Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the " New Warrant ", and with the Original Warrant, the " Warrants "); and
WHEREAS , the Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock under the circumstances and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note (the " Conversion Shares "), and the Warrants are exercisable into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in each of the applicable Warrants (the " Warrant Shares ").
NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:
1.              Certain Definitions .  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement, the Note, or the Warrants.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
" Closing " and " Closing Date " shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
" Commission " or " SEC " shall mean the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act.
" Holder " and " Holders " shall include the Purchaser and any permitted transferee or transferees of Registrable Securities (as defined below), the Note and/or Warrants which have not been sold to the public to whom the registration rights conferred by this Agreement have been transferred in compliance with this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement; provided that neither such person nor any affiliate of such person is registered as a broker or dealer under Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 1



The terms " register, " " registered " and " registration " shall refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such registration statement.
Registrable Securities " shall mean: (i) the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares or other securities issued or issuable to each Holder or its permitted transferee or designee (a) upon the conversion of the Note or the exercise of the Warrants, or (b) upon any distribution with respect to, any exchange for or any replacement of such Note or Warrants, or (c) upon any conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities issued in connection with any such distribution, exchange or replacement; (ii) securities issued or issuable upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing; and (iii) any other security issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange, for or in replacement of the securities referred to in the preceding clauses; provided that all such shares shall cease to be Registrable Securities at such time as they have been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise or at such time as they are eligible to be sold without the need for current public information or other restriction by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144.
" Registration Expenses " shall mean all expenses to be incurred by the Company in connection with each Holder's registration rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the Company, which shall be paid in any event by the Company).

" Selling Expenses " shall mean all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and all fees and disbursements of counsel for Holders not included within " Registration Expenses. "

Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 2



2.              Registration Requirements .  The Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act) as would permit or facilitate the sale or distribution of all the Registrable Securities in the manner (including manner of sale) and in all states reasonably requested by the Holder. Such best efforts by the Company shall include, without limitation, the following:
(a)              The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but in any event within sixty (60) days, if and upon the written request of the Purchaser at any time on or before May 26, 2017:
(i)              Prepare and file a registration statement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act on Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act provided that such other form shall be converted into an S-3 as soon as Form S-3 becomes available to the Company) covering resales by the Holders as selling stockholders (not underwriters) of the Registrable Securities (" Registration Statement "), which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Note or Warrants. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be no less than the product of 1.2 times the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as of the date of this Agreement at the then applicable Exercise Price (as defined in each of the Warrants) plus the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Note (assuming that the Note was to become convertible on the date before which the Registration Statement is filed). Thereafter the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement and other filings to be declared effective as soon as possible, and in any event no later than the following date, as appropriate (the " Required Effective Date "): (A) if the SEC notifies the Company that the SEC will not review the Registration Statement, the Required Effective Date shall be five (5) days after the SEC provides such notification, or (B) if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review the Registration Statement, then the Required Effective Date shall be sixty (60) days after the Company receives the first written comments on the Registration Statement from the SEC. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will promptly respond to all SEC comments, inquiries and requests, and shall request acceleration of effectiveness at the earliest possible date.
 
Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 3



(ii)              Prepare and file with 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 Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement and notify the Holders of the filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements.
(iii)              Furnish to each Holder that has Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement such numbers of copies of a current prospectus conforming with the requirements of the Act, copies of the Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably require in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such Holder.
(iv)              Register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of all domestic jurisdictions; 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.
(v)              Notify promptly each Holder that has Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement of the happening of any event (but not the substance or details of any such event) of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus (including any supplements thereto or thereof) included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (each an " Event "), and use its best efforts to promptly update and/or correct such prospectus. Each Holder will hold in confidence and will not make any disclosure of any such Event and any related information disclosed by the Company.
(vi)              Notify each Holder of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities commission or agency of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the threat or initiation of any proceedings for that purpose.  The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time.
(vii)              List the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with all securities exchange(s) and/or markets on which the Common Stock is then listed and prepare and file any required filings with the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other exchange or market where the shares of Common Stock are traded.

Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 4



(viii)              Take all steps reasonably necessary to enable Holders to avail themselves of the prospectus delivery mechanism set forth in Rule 153 (or successor thereto) under the Act.
(b)              Notwithstanding the obligations under Section 2(a)(v) or any provision of this Agreement, if (i) in the good faith judgment of the Company, following consultation with legal counsel, it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for resales of Registrable Securities to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement due to the existence of a material development or potential material development involving the Company that the Company would be obligated to disclose in the Registration Statement, which disclosure would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or would have a material adverse effect upon the Company and its stockholders, or (ii) in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would adversely affect or require premature disclosure of the filing of a Company-initiated registration of any class of its equity securities, then the Company will have the right to suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of not more than 30 consecutive calendar days, but only if the Company reasonably concludes, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to suspend the use of the Registration Statement as such would create a risk of a material liability or violation under applicable securities laws or regulations.
(c)              During the registration period, the Company will make available, upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours, for inspection by any Holder whose Registrable Securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the " Records ") as reasonably necessary to enable each such Holder to exercise its due diligence responsibility in connection with or related to the contemplated offering. The Company will cause its officers, directors and employees to supply all information that any Holder may reasonably request for purposes of performing such due diligence.

Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 5




(d)              Each Holder will hold in confidence, use only in connection with the contemplated offering and not make any disclosure of all Records and other information that the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Holders are so notified, unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement (to the knowledge of the relevant Holder), (iv) the Records or other information was developed independently by the Holder without breach of this Agreement, (v) the information was known to the Holder before receipt of such information from the Company, or (vi) the information was disclosed to the Holder by a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality. However, a Holder may make disclosure of such Records and other information to any attorney, adviser, or other third party retained by it that needs to know the information as determined in good faith by the Holder (the " Holder Representative "), if the Holder advises the Holder Representative of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 2(e), but the Holder will be liable for any act or omission of any of its Holder Representatives relative to such information as if the act or omission was that of the Holder. The Company is not required to disclose any confidential information in the Records to any Holder unless and until such Holder has entered into a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company) with the Company with respect thereto, substantially to the effect of this Section 2(e).  Unless legally prohibited from so doing, each Holder will, upon learning that disclosure of Records containing confidential information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.  Nothing herein will be deemed to limit the Holder's ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner that is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 6




(e)              The Company shall file a Registration Statement with respect to any newly authorized and/or reserved Registrable Securities consisting of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares described in clause (i) of the definition of Registrable Securities within ten (10) business days of any stockholders' meeting authorizing same and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of such stockholders' meeting.  If the Holders become entitled, pursuant to an event described in clause (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Registrable Securities, to receive any securities in respect of Registrable Securities that were already included in a Registration Statement, subsequent to the date such Registration Statement is declared effective, and the Company is unable under the securities laws to add such securities to the then effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly file, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, an additional Registration Statement with respect to such newly Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) cause any such additional Registration Statement, when filed, to become effective within 30 days of that date that the need to file the Registration Statement arose.  All of the registration rights and remedies under this Agreement shall apply to the registration of such newly reserved shares and such new Registrable Securities.
3.              Expenses of Registration .  All Registration Expenses in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance with registration pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses of a Holder shall be borne by such Holder.
4.              Registration on Form S-3 .  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to meet the "registrant eligibility" requirements for a secondary offering set forth in the general instructions to Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms, or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act, provided that if such other form is used, the Company shall convert such other form to a Form S-3 as soon as the Company becomes so eligible.
5.              Registration Period .  In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall keep such registration effective until the later of (a) the date on which all the Holders have completed the sales or distribution described in the Registration Statement relating thereto or, if earlier until such Registrable Securities may be sold by the Holders under Rule 144 (provided that the Company's transfer agent has accepted an instruction from the Company to such effect) or (b) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date.

Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 7



6.              Indemnification.
(a)              Company Indemnity .  The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling each of the foregoing, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC), Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or any post-effective amendment thereof or based on any 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any state securities law or in either case, any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder, each of its officers, directors, agents and partners, and each person controlling each of the foregoing, for any reasonable legal fees of a single counsel and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to a Holder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on (i) any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter (if any) therefor and stated to be specifically for use therein, (ii) any failure by any Holder to comply with prospectus delivery requirements or the Securities Act or Exchange Act or any other law or legal requirement applicable to them or any covenant or agreement contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement or (iii) an offer of sale of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares occurring during a period in which sales under the Registration Statement are suspended as permitted by this Agreement. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 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 will not be unreasonably withheld).

Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 8




(b)              Holder Indemnity .  Each Holder will, severally but not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, agents and partners, and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and any of its directors, officers, agents, partners, and any person who controls such stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other Holder (if any), and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such other Holder(s) against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC), Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or any post- effective amendment thereof or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made or (ii) failure by any Holder to comply with prospectus delivery requirements or the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other law or legal requirement applicable to them or any covenant or agreement contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, and will reimburse the Company and such other Holder(s) and their directors, officers and partners, underwriters or control persons for any reasonable legal fees or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC), Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or any post-effective amendment thereof in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein, and provided that the maximum amount for which such Holder shall be liable under this indemnity shall not exceed the net proceeds received by the Holders from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement in question. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 9




(c)              Procedure .  Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the " Indemnified Party ") shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the " Indemnifying Party ") promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim in any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 6 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely affected by such failure to provide notice. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each 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.  Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such non-privileged information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
7.              Contribution .  If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 herein is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein), then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as between the Company on the one hand and any Holder(s) on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of such Holder(s) in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of any Holder(s) on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Holder(s).
In no event shall the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to contribute under this Section 7 exceed the amount that such Indemnifying Party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof had been available under the circumstances.
Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 10




The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs.  The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount equal to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement in question.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
8.              Survival .  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the consummation of the sale or successive resales of the Registrable Securities.
9.              Information by Holders .  As a condition to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder, such Holder will furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended methods of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as is reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities.  At least ten business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder whether or not such Holder has elected to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.  If the Company has not received the requested information from a Holder by the business day prior to the anticipated filing date, then the Company may file the Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of that Holder.
10.              Further Assurances .  Each Holder will cooperate with the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of such Holder's irrevocable election to exclude all of such Holder's Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.


Exhibit 10.3 -- Page 11



11.              Suspension of Sales .  Upon receipt of any notice from the Company under Section 2(a)(v) or 2(b), each Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until (i) it receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Sections 2(a)(v) or (ii) the Company advises the Holder that a suspension of sales under Section 2(b) has terminated.  If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy all copies in the Holder's possession (other than a limited number of file copies) of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice.
12.              Replacement Certificates .  The certificate(s) representing the Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser (or then Holder) may be exchanged by the Purchaser (or such Holder) at any time and from time to time for certificates with different denominations representing an equal aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, as reasonably requested by such Purchaser (or such Holder) upon surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or certificates for the underlying shares of Common Stock of any of the foregoing, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, or upon surrender and cancellation of such certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Note or certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation at no charge to the holder.
13.              Transfer or Assignment .  Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The rights granted to the Purchaser by the Company under this Agreement to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities may be transferred or assigned (in whole or in part) to a transferee or assignee of the Note, Warrants or Registrable Securities, and all other rights granted to the Purchaser by the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned to any transferee or assignee of the Note, Warrants or Registrable Securities; provided in each case that (i) the Company is given written notice by the Purchaser at the time of or within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights agrees in writing to be bound by the registration provisions of this Agreement, (ii) such transfer or assignment is not made under the Registration Statement or Rule 144, (iii) such transfer is made according to the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement, and (iv) the transferee has provided to the Company an investor questionnaire (or equivalent document) evidencing that the transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer" or an "accredited investor" defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3), or (7) of Regulation D.
