Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Agreement to Acquire Assets of Bird & Cronin, Inc.
On September 26, 2017, Dynatronics Corporation, a Utah corporation ("we," the "Company" or "Dynatronics"), entered into a definitive agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") to acquire substantially all of the assets of Bird & Cronin, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("B&C"), for $10.0 million in cash, subject to adjustment, an earn out payment ranging from $0.5 million to $1.5 million, as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement, and $4.0 million of a new series of our preferred stock designated as Series D Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock, as more fully described below (the "Acquisition"), or total consideration valued between $14.5 and $15.5 million. We will fund the Acquisition with proceeds from the offer and sale of our equity securities in a private (non-public) offering to accredited investors as described in Item 3.02 of this Current Report (the "Private Placement") and with the funds provided by borrowings pursuant to our amended asset-based lending facility (the "Credit Facility") with Bank of the West, described below. B&C is a closely-held corporation founded in 1968. B&C designs, manufactures, and distributes orthopedic soft goods and specialty patient care products to customers in the United States and internationally. Over 95% of B&C's products are made in an 85,000 square-foot manufacturing facility located at 1200 Trapp Road, Eagan, Minnesota (the "Facility") owned by an affiliate of B&C. The Acquisition does not include the purchase of the Facility, which the Company will lease from Trapp Road Limited Liability Company ("Lessor"), a Minnesota limited liability company, following the anticipated closing of the Acquisition on or about October 2, 2017 (the "Closing").
Prior to the transactions described in this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were no material relationships between the Company and B&C or any affiliates of the Company and B&C, other than pertaining to the Acquisition.
Asset Purchase Agreement
The Closing of the transaction contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement is conditioned upon certain customary closing conditions, and is expected to close no earlier than October 2, 2017. Closing of the Private Placement and the closing of the Amendment, as defined below, to the Credit Facility are expected to occur contemporaneously with or immediately prior to the Closing of the Acquisition.
Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we will acquire substantially all of the assets of B&C and following the Closing we will operate the business formerly conducted by B&C at its Facility in Minnesota. We will lease the Facility on terms contained in a lease agreement (the "Lease") with Lessor for an initial three-year term, with annual lease payments of $600,000, payable in monthly installments of $50,000. The Lease provides that the lease term will be extended automatically for two additional periods of two years each, with the annual lease payment remaining at $600,000, payable in monthly installments of $50,000, unless we terminate the Lease or provide notice not to extend the term of the Lease.
The purchase price for B&C is an amount payable in cash and securities totaling between $14.5 million and $15.5 million, depending on the amount to be paid under the earn out described in the Asset Purchase Agreement. At Closing, the Company will pay a combined $14.0 million in cash and equity consideration to B&C, with the remaining $0.5 million to $1.5 million to be paid two years following Closing pursuant to the earn out provision under the Asset Purchase Agreement. We also will hold back $1.4 million of the purchase price for purposes of satisfying adjustments to the purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement and indemnification claims, if any. Subject to adjustments or claims as provided by the Asset Purchase Agreement, 50% of the holdback amount will be released to B&C one year from the Closing, and the balance of the holdback amount will be released to B&C 18 months after Closing. As part of the Acquisition, we will pay and discharge certain liabilities and obligations of B&C related to its ongoing business (primarily trade accounts and similar obligations in the ordinary course).
As part of the purchase price paid at Closing, Dynatronics will issue to B&C an aggregate of 1,581,935 shares (aggregate value of $4.0 million, valued at approximately $2.53 per share) of a new series of our preferred stock designated as Series D Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred Stock"). The rights and preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock will be designated by the Company's Board of Directors in an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Series D Designation") which will be filed prior to the Closing with the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code (the "Division").
The Series D Preferred Stock is non-voting. The Series D Preferred Stock will accrue an annual dividend at a rate of 6.0% to be paid in cash. Upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, all shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be converted automatically into shares of our common stock, on a one-for-one basis and at a conversion price of approximately $2.53 per share. The issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock is subject to Shareholder Approval, as defined below under Item 3.02, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, "Nasdaq Listing and Shareholder Approval." Until we have obtained Shareholder Approval, we will not issue any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock or otherwise in connection therewith.
We will make offers of employment to employees of B&C to become Dynatronics employees at Closing. The Co-Presidents of B&C, Jason Anderson and Mike Cronin, will enter into employment agreements (the "Employment Agreements") with the Company and will assist in the transition of the acquired business, reporting to our CEO, Kelvyn Cullimore, or his designee. Under the Employment Agreements, we will pay each of Mr. Anderson and Mr. Cronin an annual salary of $175,000 and annual bonus in an amount between $0 and $10,000, as determined by Mr. Cullimore. Messrs. Anderson and Cronin will also receive other employee benefits provided to our employees generally at their level of management (including, e.g., paid time off and paid holidays, medical/dental/vision insurance, Section 125 Flexible Spending Account (FSA), and 401(k)). In addition to the restrictive covenants that may be applicable to them under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Employment Agreements limit the ability of Messrs. Anderson and Cronin to be employed by a competitor of, or otherwise to compete with, Dynatronics for, in Mr. Anderson's case, a two-year period, and, in Mr. Cronin's case, a one-year period following the later of (i) termination of employment and (ii) the latest date upon which Dynatronics makes any severance payment to such person.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by B&C and the Company, as well as customary indemnification provisions among the parties. Post-closing covenants include a covenant that for a period of five years (the "Restrictive Period"), B&C and its shareholders (including Mr. Cronin) will refrain from, among other things, solicitation of employees, customers and business of B&C or the Company and from other competitive activity as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, and requires them and their representatives (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) to maintain (other than in connection with performing obligations pursuant to the Lease or the Employment Agreements, as applicable), the confidentiality of, and not use, confidential information relating to the acquired business or purchased assets, except as permitted by the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The information set forth under Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Series D Preferred Stock issued as part of the consideration in connection with the Acquisition is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to Credit Facility
In connection with the Acquisition, on September 25, 2017, we entered into a commitment letter (the "Commitment Letter") with Bank of the West ("Bank") containing terms under which the Bank is prepared to modify our current credit facility with the Bank governed by that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2017 with Bank ("Credit Facility"). These terms provide that the Credit Facility will be modified by amendment (as amended, the "Loan Agreement") to (i) join our wholly owned subsidiary Bird & Cronin, LLC ("B&C Subsidiary") that will hold the assets acquired from B&C, as a borrower under the Credit Facility and grant Bank a security interest in all of B&C Subsidiary's assets and (ii) increase the maximum principal amount of loans permitted under the Credit Facility up to the lesser of $11,000,000 and a borrowing base. Loans under the Credit Facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. We paid a commitment fee of .25% and the line is subject to an unused line fee of .25%. The maturity date is two years from the date of the note.
The borrowing base is computed monthly and is equal to the sum of stated percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less a reserve.
The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement will be guaranteed by each of its subsidiaries, and are (and the guaranty obligations of any such subsidiary guarantors are required to be) secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and any such subsidiary guarantors, as applicable (including, without limitation, accounts receivable, equipment, inventory and other goods, intellectual property, contract rights and other general intangibles, cash, deposit accounts, equity interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures, investment property, documents and instruments, real property, and proceeds of the foregoing).
The Loan Agreement will contain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur or guarantee indebtedness, incur liens, dispose of assets, engage in mergers and consolidations, make acquisitions or other investments, make changes in the nature of its business, and engage in transactions with affiliates. The Loan Agreement also contains financial covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including a maximum total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 7.0 to 1.0 through December 31, 2017 and from 4.5 to 1.0 from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018, and 4.25 to 1.0 thereafter; and a minimum monthly consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.0.
The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter and amended Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Commitment Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Securities Purchase Agreement
The information set forth in Item 3.02 of this report regarding the Securities Purchase Agreement is incorporated hereunder into this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off- Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
The information under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the entry into the Amendment to the Credit Facility set forth under "Modification Agreement to Credit Facility" is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Securities Purchase Agreement
To provide cash for the Acquisition, we are conducting a private offering of a new series of preferred stock designated as Series C Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock"), together with warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (together with the Series C Preferred Stock, the "Series C Securities") to raise up to $7.0 million (the "Private Placement") pursuant to the form of Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Investors included herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). Closing of the Private Placement under the Securities Purchase Agreement will occur simultaneously with the Closing of the Acquisition, currently anticipated on or about October 2, 2017. In connection with the offer and sale of the Series C Securities, we delivered to the Investors as defined below, a "Supplemental Disclosure" summarizing the Acquisition, including information regarding B&C. The Supplemental Disclosure is an Appendix to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The Series C Securities and underlying shares of common stock are offered and will be issued in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), including without limitation, exemptions under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each Investor represents that it is an accredited investor and that it is acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of such securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws. Securities issued in the Private Placement are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption is available under the Securities Act. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.
In connection with the Private Placement, we are offering up to 2,800,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at $2.50 per share. Each purchaser in the offering also receives a warrant to purchase .5 shares of common stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock purchased, exercisable at a price of $2.75 per full share (the "Warrants").
Purchasers of the Series C Securities include a select group of accredited investors, including institutional investors (the "Investors"). Certain of our officers and directors and significant shareholders are Investors in the Private Placement.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, assuming the full $7.0 million is raised in the Private Placement, we will issue a total of 2,800,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock together with Warrants to purchase a total of 1,400,000 shares of common stock.
Any officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company is defined as an "Insider" for purposes of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The issuance of shares of our common stock underlying the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants, including issuances to the Insiders, is subject to Shareholder Approval, as defined below. Until we have obtained Shareholder Approval, we will not issue any shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or otherwise in connection therewith: (1) in an amount that exceeds 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company prior to the Private Placement (the "19.9% Limitation"), and (2) upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or otherwise, to Insiders.
The rights and preferences of the Series C Preferred Stock will be designated by the Company's Board of Directors in an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Series C Designation") which will be filed prior to the Closing with the Division.
The Series C Preferred Stock is non-voting. Prior to Shareholder Approval, Investors (but excluding Insiders) may convert their shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share; provided, however, that until Shareholder Approval has been obtained, such conversions cannot exceed the 19.9% Limitation. All shares of Series C Preferred Stock will convert automatically into shares of common stock, at the conversion price of $2.50 per share, immediately upon receipt of Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that a holder may make an election applicable to its beneficial ownership of common stock and restrict conversion of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock such that the Company shall not effect any conversion of such holder's shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and such holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion such holder or any of such holder's affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion of the holder's shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are not automatically converted after Shareholder Approval are stripped of their dividend, liquidation preference and redemption rights, and remain subject to the beneficial ownership conversion limitations elected by the holder. The Series C Preferred Stock will accrue an annual dividend at a rate of 6.0% to be paid in cash, which dividends cease at the time of Shareholder Approval.
The Warrants have an exercise price of $2.75 per share of common stock and a term of six years. The Warrants may not be exercised unless and until Shareholder Approval has been obtained.
Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. ("Ladenburg") acted as placement agent and we will pay Ladenburg fees for its services in connection with proceeds received in the Private Placement from Investors introduced to the Company by Ladenburg pursuant to its agreement with the Company, in accordance with applicable FINRA rules and regulations. No compensation, fees, or discounts will be paid or given to any other person in connection with the offer and sale of the Series C Securities.
Equity Consideration in Connection with Asset Purchase Agreement
As described above under Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement—"Asset Purchase Agreement," as part of the consideration for the Acquisition, we will issue to B&C 1,581,935 shares of Series D Preferred Stock valued at $4.0 million. The issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock under the Asset Purchase Agreement will occur simultaneously with the Closing of the Acquisition, currently anticipated on or about October 2, 2017. See additional information regarding the Company's issuance of its Series D Preferred Stock under Item 1.01, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement—"Asset Purchase Agreement," above, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Series D Preferred Stock and underlying common stock will be issued in the Acquisition in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including the exemptions under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, relating to sales by an issuer not involving any public offering, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. B&C represented that it is an accredited investor and that it is acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of such securities in violation of the United States federal securities laws. Securities issued under the Asset Purchase Agreement are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered or an exemption is available under the Securities Act. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.
Nasdaq Listing and Shareholder Approval; Registration
Our common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and therefore we are subject to the Nasdaq Listing Rules ("Nasdaq Rules") governing listing requirements (Section 5500 of the Nasdaq Rules for securities listed on the Capital Market) and corporate governance (Section 5600 of the Nasdaq Rules) of companies with securities listed on Nasdaq. Pursuant to the terms of both the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, we have covenanted to obtain approval of our shareholders ("Shareholder Approval") as may be required by the Nasdaq Rules applicable in connection with our issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock and execution of the Warrants, including the following:
·
|
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), which requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with an acquisition of the stock or assets of another company where the total number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities;
|
·
|
Nasdaq Rule 5635(c), requiring shareholder approval when common stock may be issued to "insiders" (directors, officers, employees or consultants) of the issuer in transactions at prices less than market value, which includes sales deemed to be "equity compensation" paid to insiders, as well as the issuance of common stock at less than market prices for redemption of other securities or payment of debt; and
|
·
|
Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), which requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of common stock in connection with certain non-public offerings involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance of common stock (and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of common stock outstanding before the issuance, at prices less than market value.
|
At our 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders we will include proposals for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval described above. Certain key shareholders of the Company (officers, directors and certain shareholders) will enter into agreements with the Investors and B&C to vote all Company securities over which such persons have voting control as of the record date for the meeting of shareholders, amounting to, in the aggregate, at least 35% of all current voting power of the Company, in favor of the Shareholder Approvals described above (respectively, the "Investors Voting Agreement" and the "Seller's Voting Agreement"; collectively, the "Voting Agreements").
In connection with the Private Placement and the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock as part of the consideration contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act registering the issuance and resale of all shares of common stock underlying the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants. The obligations of the Company and the rights of the Investors and B&C are contained in the Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Investors, and the Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and B&C (collectively, the "Registration Rights Agreements") to be executed at the Closing.
The foregoing descriptions of the Series C Designation, Series D Designation, Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreements, Voting Agreements, and Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Series C Designation, Series D Designation, Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreements, Voting Agreements, and Warrants, as the case may be, substantially in the forms filed as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 9.1, 9.2, and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

.
(i) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion
. Not later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each Conversion Date (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends. On or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver the Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. As used herein, "Standard Settlement Period" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Conversion.
(ii) Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares.
If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly re-register in book-entry form the Holder's original shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Conversion Shares issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.
(iii) Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages
. The Company's obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares;
provided, however
, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action that the Company may have against such Holder. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series C Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of the Series C Preferred Stock which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares and, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Company fails to deliver to a Holder such Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) on the second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Stated Value of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day and increasing to $200 per Trading Day on the sixth Trading Day after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such second Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or declare a Triggering Event pursuant to Section 9 hereof for the Company's failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
(iv) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(c)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder's total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series C Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(c)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(v) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion
. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of
Section 7
) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement (subject to such Holder's compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement).
(vi) Fractional Shares
. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
(vii) Transfer Taxes and Expenses
. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.
(d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
Unless a Holder has made an election on its signature page to the Purchase Agreement to have this
Section 6(d)
not apply to such Holder, the Company shall not effect any conversion of such Holder's shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder's Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder's Affiliates (such Persons, "
Attribution Parties
")) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Series C Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Series C Preferred Stock or the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this
Section 6(d)
, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 6(d)
applies, the determination of whether the shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether the shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this
Section 6(d)
, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Series C Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "
Beneficial Ownership Limitation
" shall be 4.99% (or, upon election of a Holder prior to the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 6(d)
applicable to its shares of Series C Preferred Stock, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this
Section 6(d)
shall continue to apply. Any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this
Section 6(d)
to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock.
(e) Issuance Limitations
. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval, then the Company may not issue, upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock issued on or after the Original Issue Date and prior to such Conversion Date in connection with any conversion of Series C Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, would exceed 941,637 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits, recapitalizations and the like) (such number of shares of Common Stock, the "
Issuable Maximum
"). Each Issuable Maximum Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the original Stated Value of such Issuable Maximum Holder's Series C Preferred Stock by (y) the aggregate Stated Value of all Series C Preferred Stock issued on the Original Issue Date to all Issuable Maximum Holders. Such portion shall be adjusted upward ratably in the event that an Issuable Maximum Holder no longer holds any Series C Preferred Stock and the number of shares issued to such Issuable Maximum Holder pursuant to such Issuable Maximum Holder's Series C Preferred Stock was less than such Issuable Maximum Holder's pro-rata share of the Issuable Maximum. For purposes of clarity, the Company and each Holder acknowledge and agree that, prior to Shareholder Approval, no portion of the Issuable Maximum shall be allocated to any Nasdaq Insider Holder.
Section 7.
Certain Adjustments
.
(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits
. If the Company, at any time while shares of this Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section 7(a)
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.
(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings
. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to
Section 7(a)
above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "
Purchase Rights
"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder's shares of Series C Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(c) Pro Rata Distributions
. During such time as the Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "
Distribution
"), then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete Conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock (without regard to any other limitations on Conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (
provided, however
, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(d) Fundamental Transaction
. If, at any time while this Series C Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a "
Fundamental Transaction
"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in
Section 6(d)
and
Section 6(e)
on the conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "
Alternate Consideration
") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Series C Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in
Section 6(d)
and
Section 6(e)
on the conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Designation of Rights with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders' right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the "
Successor Entity
") to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Designation of Rights and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7(d)
pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder of shares of this Series C Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for the shares of Series C Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series C Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Series C Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Designation of Rights and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Designation of Rights and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(e) Calculations
. All calculations under this
Section 7
shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100
th
of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this
Section 7
, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
(f) Notice to the Holders
.
(i) Adjustment to Conversion Price.

Mandatory Conversion
") into Conversion Shares at the then effective Conversion Price on the Mandatory Conversion Date, it being agreed that the "Conversion Date" for purposes of

Section 6.
Certain Adjustments
.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits
. If the Company, at any time while shares of this Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification.
(b)
Subsequent Rights Offerings
. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 6(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "
Purchase Rights
"), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder's shares of Series D Preferred Stock immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
(c)
Pro Rata Distributions
. During such time as the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "
Distribution
"), then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete Conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock.
(d)
Fundamental Transaction
. If, at any time while this Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a "
Fundamental Transaction
"), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "
Alternate Consideration
") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Series D Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Designation of Rights with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders' right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the "
Successor Entity
") to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Designation of Rights and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder of shares of this Series D Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for the shares of Series D Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Series D Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Designation of Rights and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Corporation" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Designation of Rights and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
(e)
Calculations
. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100
th
of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
(f)
Notice to the Holders of Adjustment to Conversion Price
. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 6, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
Section 7.
Mandatory Conversion
.
(a)
Mandatory Conversion Upon Shareholder Approval
. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the date of Shareholder Approval (the "
Mandatory Conversion Date
"), without any required notice to the Holder or from the Holder, the Company shall convert all of the Holder's shares of Preferred Stock (the "

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice.
The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a)
hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of "regular trading hours" (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder's execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during "regular trading hours" on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of "regular trading hours" on such Trading Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant.

(d)
Mechanics of Exercise
.
(i)
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder's or its designee's balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system ("DWAC") if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) the earlier of (A) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (B) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the "Warrant Share Delivery Date"). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, "Standard Settlement Period" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
(iii)
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise
. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificates for the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(iii)
No Fractional Shares or Scrip
. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
(iv)
Charges, Taxes and Expenses
. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder 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 or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder;
provided, however
, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as
Exhibit B
, duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
(v)
Rescission Rights
. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(vi)
Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise
. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder's brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a "
Buy-In
"), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company's failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(vii)
Closing of Books
. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e)
[
Holder's Exercise Limitations
. [TO BE REPLACED WITH "INTENTIONALLY OMITTED" IF AN INVESTOR ELECTS NOT TO HAVE A BLOCKER] The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder's Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder's Affiliates (such Persons, "
Attribution Parties
")), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this
Section 2
(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2
(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder's determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this
Section 2
(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "
Beneficial Ownership Limitation
" shall be [4.99%] [9.99%] of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 2
(e),
provided
that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this
Section 2
(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61
st
day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this
Section 2
(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.]
Section 3.
Certain Adjustments
.
(a)
Stock Dividends and Splits
. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re‑classification.
(b)
Subsequent Rights Offerings

Section 2
(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "
Alternate Consideration
") receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in
Section 2
(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).
(ii)
For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.

(iii)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a "Rule 13e-3 transaction" as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder's option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction,
purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder
a "
Warrant Settlement Payment
" (defined in subsection (v) below), equal in value to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (referred to herein as the "
Warrant Settlement Right
"). "
Black Scholes Value
" means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the "OV" function on Bloomberg, L.P. ("
Bloomberg
") determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date.
(iv)
The Warrant Settlement Payment shall be paid using the same type or form of consideration that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock, or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction. By way of example only, if the holders of Common Stock are to receive cash only in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, the holders of this Warrant shall also receive cash only in payment of the Warrant Settlement Payment. If the holders of Common Stock are to receive shares of stock only in connection the Fundamental Transaction, the holders of this Warrant shall be paid the Warrant Settlement Payment with shares of the same stock. Likewise, if the holders of Common Stock are given the right and option to choose from among alternative forms of consideration as payment for their shares in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, the holders of this Warrant shall be given the same right to choose from among the same alternative forms of consideration as payment for their Warrant Settlement Payment. In no case shall the holders of this Warrant receive cash only for their Warrant Settlement Payment, if the holders of the Common Stock of the Company are not also receiving cash only for their shares of Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction.
The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the "
Successor Entity

Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer's rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer's agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.09 to the contrary, Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 7.02(d) hereof unless and until Buyer either provides written waivers thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing.

provided

On or before the date which is 30 days after the last day of the Calculation Period, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a written statement ("
Earn-out Calculation Statement
") setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of Net Product Revenue and its calculation of the resulting Earn-out Payment (the "
Earn-out Calculation
").
(ii)
Seller shall have 10 Business Days after receipt of the Earn-out Calculation Statement (the "
Earn-out Review Period
") to review the Earn-out Calculation Statement and the Earn-out Calculation set forth therein. During the Earn-out Review Period, Seller shall have the right at Seller's sole expense to inspect books and records during normal business hours at the Business's offices, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determinations of Net Product Revenue and the resulting Earn-out Payment. Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Earn-out Calculation by delivering a written notice of objection ("
Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice
") to Buyer;
provided
, that the only basis on which Seller may dispute any matter in the Earn-out Calculation is factual or numerical inaccuracies in the calculation of Net Product Revenue or the Earn-out Payment. Any Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the applicable Earn-out Calculation disputed by Seller and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as the amount in dispute. If Seller fails to deliver an Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Earn-out Review Period, then the Earn-out Calculation set forth in the Earn-out Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto. If Seller timely delivers an Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the Earn-out Payment. If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach agreement within 30 days after such an Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable Earn-out Calculation as promptly as practicable, but in no event greater than 10 days after such submission to the Independent Accountant, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accountant, Buyer and Seller shall each furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Buyer and Seller, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of Net Product Revenue that is the subject of the Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Seller and Buyer in proportion to the amounts by which their respective calculations of Net Product Revenue and the Earn-out Payment differ from that as finally determined by the Independent Accountant.
(c)
Timing of Payment of Earn-out Payment.
Subject to Section 2.11(e), any Earn-out Payment that Buyer is required to pay shall be paid in full no later than three Business Days following the date upon which the determination of the Earn-out Calculation becomes final and binding upon the parties as provided in Section 2.11(b) (including any final resolution of any dispute raised by Seller in an Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice), Buyer shall pay to Seller the Earn-out Payment in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Seller to Buyer.
(d)
Post-Closing Operation of the Business
. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, subsequent to the Closing, Buyer shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of the Business. Seller acknowledges that (i) there is no assurance that Seller will receive any Earn-out Payment above the guaranteed minimum payment of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) and Buyer has not promised or projected any such Earn-out Payment, and (ii) the Parties solely intend the express provisions of this Agreement to govern their contractual relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer has no obligation to operate the Business in order to achieve any Earn-out Payment above the guaranteed minimum payment of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or to maximize the amount of the Earn-out Payment. For so long as Jason Anderson and Mike Cronin are employed by Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Employment Agreement, Buyer agrees and covenants that it shall not cause or facilitate the transfer of Jason Anderson or Michael J. Cronin to another division of the Business or to an Affiliate of Buyer. During the period between the Closing and the date on which the Earn-out Payment is paid, Buyer agrees and covenants that it shall (A) cause the post-Closing Business to maintain true, complete and accurate books and records relating to the subject matter of this Section 2.11, which it shall make available for review by the Seller upon reasonable notice subject to reasonable confidentiality provisions and (B) not take any actions in bad faith in the operation of the post-Closing Business which are intentionally undertaken with the purpose of reducing the amount of the Earn-out Payment.
(e)
Right of Set-off.
Buyer shall have the right to withhold and set off against any amount otherwise due to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.11 the amount of (i) any Purchase Price adjustment owed to it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any Losses to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Agreement.
(f)
No Security.
The Parties understand and agree that (i) the contingent rights to receive an Earn-out Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable, except by operation of Law relating to descent and distribution, divorce and community property, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Buyer, (ii) Seller shall not have any rights as a securityholder of Buyer as a result of Seller's contingent right to receive an Earn-out Payment hereunder, and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to any Earn-out Payment.

Section 8.05
Indemnification Procedures
. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the "
Indemnified Party
", and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the "
Indemnifying Party
".
(a)
Third Party Claims
. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a "
Third Party Claim
") against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party's expense and by the Indemnifying Party's own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense;
provided,
that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party's right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party,
provided, that
if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(b)
Settlement of Third Party Claims
. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 10 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
Section 8.06
Direct Claims
. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a "
Direct Claim
") shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party's premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.07
Payments
. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, subject to all applicable limitations contained in this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If Seller is the Indemnifying Party, the payment hereunder shall first come solely from the Holdback Fund until the entirety of the Holdback Fund has been exhausted, then from the first $500,000 of the Earn-out Payment to the extent not already paid to Seller, and then from the remainder of the Earn-out Payment to the extent the amount of such payment has been determined but not yet paid to Seller. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 5%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. To the extent the satisfaction of Seller's obligations under this ARTICLE VIII are to be settled, in whole or in part in Shares, the value of the Shares to be applied against such obligations shall be the Closing Share Price; provide that Buyer shall give Seller ten (10) days advance written notice of Buyer's intent to apply Shares against an obligation under this ARTICLE VIII and Seller shall have the option to notify Buyer during such 10-day period that it wishes to have such obligation settled entirely in cash, rather than Shares. To the extent the Holdback Fund does not have sufficient cash to settle the amount payable, Seller shall promptly deliver collected funds to Buyer sufficient to cover such cash deficit.
Section 8.08
Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments
.
All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
Section 8.09
Effect of Investigation
.
The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party's waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.
Section 8.10
Exclusive Remedies
. Subject to Section 6.07 and Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII
.
Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall limit any Person's right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party's fraudulent, criminal or willful misconduct.
Section 8.11
Set-Off Against Holdback and Earn-out Payment
.
Upon final resolution of a claim for indemnification
pursuant to ARTICLE VIII, Buyer shall first set off any amount to which Buyer is entitled from Seller pursuant to Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder first solely from the Holdback Fund until the entirety of the Holdback Fund has been exhausted, then from the first $500,000 of the Earn-out Payment to the extent not already paid to Seller, and then from the remainder of the Earn-out Payment to the extent the amount of such payment has been determined but not yet paid to Seller, all as exclusive first source of recovery with respect to such indemnity obligations.
Section 8.12
Mitigation of Losses
. All Losses recoverable by an Indemnified Party shall be net of insurance proceeds and any amounts such Indemnified Party actually recovers from third parties (including third party indemnification and payments on applicable accounts receivable). Such Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to seek any such payments to which it may be entitled.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV.
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1
Transfer Restrictions
.
(a)
The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b)
So long as is required by this
Section 4.1
, the Purchasers agree that the shares of Preferred Stock, to be represented in book-entry form by the Company's Transfer Agent, will be subject to the following restricting legend, and that the Warrants and Underlying Shares shall also have printed thereon the following restrictive legend:
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE OR EXERCISABLE, AS APPLICABLE, HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "
SECURITIES ACT
"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF THE COMPANY OR COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY UNLESS SOLD OR TRANSFERRED TO A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OR EXERCISE, AS APPLICABLE, OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) thereunder.
(c)
Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such securities is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares, as the case may be, are eligible for sale under Rule 144 or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any shares of Preferred Stock are converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, as the case may be, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such second Trading Day, the "Legend Removal Date"), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this ARTICLE IV. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser's broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein, "Standard Settlement Period" means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company's primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Underlying Shares issued with a restrictive legend.
(d)
In addition to such Purchaser's other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on fifth (5th) Trading Day after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
(e)
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this

The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer. In addition, the Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders at the earliest practical date following the date hereof, and in any event on or before the 90th calendar date after the date hereof for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors that such proposals be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposals. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every two months thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Preferred Stock and Warrants are no longer outstanding.
4.10
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality
. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company's securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release and Form 8‑K Filing as described in Section 4.5. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release and Form 8‑K Filing as described in Section 4.5, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release and Form 8‑K Filing as described in Section 4.5, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release and Form 8‑K Filing as described in Section 4.5 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the initial press release and Form 8‑K Filing as described in Section 4.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.11
Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.12
Indemnification of Purchasers
. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 4.12
, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a "
Purchaser Party
") harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party's representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party's breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this
Section 4.12
shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.13
Subsequent Equity Sales
.
(a) From the date hereof until ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.
(b)
From the date hereof until the three (3) year anniversary of the date hereof, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. "
Variable Rate Transaction
" means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(c)
Unless Shareholder Approval has been obtained and deemed effective, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall make any issuance whatsoever of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Section 4.13
shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction entered into on or after the date hereof shall be an Exempt Issuance.
4.14
Form D; Blue Sky Filings.
The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

5.16
Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights
. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.17
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc

5.18
Construction

The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

5.20

|

|
(v)
|
after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than ten (10) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period

, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law (other than due to an Event caused by a cut-back due to Commission Guidance described in Section 2(c) above, in which case partial liquidated damages shall be the sole remedy), on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of one percent (1.0%) multiplied by the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under this Agreement shall be six percent (6%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party;
provided
, that, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d)
|
Contribution
. If the indemnification under
Section 5(a) or 5(b)
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys' or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
|
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 5(d)
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5
and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
(a)
|
Remedies
. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
|
(b)
|
No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements
.
Except for the filing of a registration statement for the benefit of the holders of the Company's Series D Preferred Stock, pursuant to the Series D Registration Rights Agreement, or the inclusion of the Series D Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement, neither
the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities.
Subject to the proviso above, the
Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission,
provided
that this
Section 6(b)
shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement.
|
(c)
|
Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).
|
(d)
|
Piggy-Back Registrations
. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company's stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered;
provided, however
, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Section 6(d)
that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other dispositions by such Holder.
|
(e)
|
Amendments and Waivers
. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security),
provided
that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates;
provided, however
, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this
Section 6(e)
. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

(f)

Notices
. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Successors and Assigns

The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under
Section 5.7
of the Purchase Agreement.
|
(h)
|
No Inconsistent Agreements
. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as set forth on
Schedule 6(h)
, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.
|
(i)
|
Execution and Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a ".pdf" format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or ".pdf" signature page were an original thereof. Each party also agrees that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby may be entered into electronically and that any electronic signature, whether digital or encrypted, used by any party is intended to authenticate this Agreement and to have the same force and effect as a manual signature. For purposes of this Agreement, an electronic signature means any electronic symbol, designation or process attached to or logically associated with a record, contract, document or instrument and adopted by a party with the intent to sign such record, contract, document or instrument.

(k)

Cumulative Remedies
. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
|
(l)
|
Severability
. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(m)

Headings

|
(n)
|
Independent Nature of Holders' Obligations and Rights
. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

Annex A
Plan of Distribution
Each Selling Shareholder (the "
Selling Shareholders
") of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
·
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker‑dealer solicits purchasers;
|
·
|
block trades in which the broker‑dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
·
|
purchases by a broker‑dealer as principal and resale by the broker‑dealer for its account;
|
·
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
·
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
·
|
settlement of short sales;
|
·
|
in transactions through broker‑dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
|
·
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
·
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
|
·
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "
Securities Act
"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker‑dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers‑dealers to participate in sales. Broker‑dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker‑dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Selling Shareholders may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Shareholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The common stock being offered by the selling shareholders are those previously issued to the selling shareholders, and those issuable to the selling shareholders, upon exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of common stock and warrants, see "Private Placement of Preferred Stock and Warrants" above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of preferred stock and the warrants, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years, except as otherwise noted herein.
The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of ________, 2017, assuming conversion of the preferred stock and the exercise of the warrants held by the selling shareholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises.
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and upon exercise of the related warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants.
The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the warrants and the preferred stock, unless a selling shareholder has elected not to be bound by such limitations, a selling shareholder may not exercise the warrants or convert the preferred stock to the extent such exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise or conversion, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

Registration Statements
.
(a)
Initial Registration
. As soon as practicable after the Closing under the Purchase Agreement, but not later than the Target Filing Date, the Company shall file with the Commission a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities (the "
Initial Registration
"). The Initial Registration shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by B&C in the manner or manners designated by B&C. For purposes hereof, "
Target Filing Date
" shall mean the date which is 45 days (or, if such day is not a day on which the Commission is open for business, then the next such Business Day) following the Closing Date of the Purchase Agreement. The Company may, in its sole discretion, include the Registrable Securities and identify B&C as a "Selling Shareholder" in a registration statement, or registration statements (including supplements thereto), in connection with the registration for resale of shares of the Common Stock of the Company underlying certain shares of the Company's Series C Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock and other securities being offered by the Company in a private offering to accredited investors without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "
Private Offering
"). The net proceeds from the Private Offering are to be used in part to pay a portion of the cash consideration to B&C under the Purchase Agreement. Reference herein to "Registration Statement" shall include any such other registration statement that includes Registrable Securities of B&C.
(b)
Effectiveness
. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act promptly, but in any event within 120 days of the filing date, and to keep the Initial Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (i) the date that is two (2) years following its effective date and (ii) the date upon which all Registrable Securities have been sold thereunder;
provided
that the Company shall have no obligation to file or maintain the Initial Registration after the 18-month anniversary of the [date upon which B&C received the Registrable Securities] if at such time all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Initial Registration (except for securities held by an Affiliate of the Company) are eligible for resale under Rule 144, without regard to volume, manner of sale or other restrictions contained in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) (the "
Effectiveness Period
").
(c)
Permitted Delay
. The Company may delay the filing of any Registration Statement or delay or suspend the effectiveness thereof, for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of 60 consecutive days, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such registration would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act; (iv) require the Company to prepare audited or interim financial statements, whether for itself or for an entity acquired or to be acquired, as of a date other than such entity's fiscal year end, or pro forma financial statements, that are required to be included in the Registration Statement.
(d)
Rule 415; Cut-Back
. If at any time the Commission takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act or requires B&C to be named as an "underwriter," the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the Commission that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering "by or on behalf of the issuer" as defined in Rule 415 and that B&C is not an "underwriter." B&C shall have the right to one (1) legal counsel designated by B&C to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this
Section
2(d), including participation in any meetings or discussions with the Commission regarding the Commission's position and to comment on any written submission made to the Commission with respect thereto. No such written submission with respect to this matter shall be made to the Commission to which B&C's counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company's commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this
Section
2(d), the Commission refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the "
Cut-Back Shares
") and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the Commission may require to assure the Company's compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the "
Commission Restrictions
");
provided, however
, that the Company shall not agree to name B&C as an "underwriter" in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of B&C. No cut-back shall be imposed on B&C pursuant to this
Section
2(d) until the Company has reduced any securities being registered on the same Registration Statement by which the Registrable Securities are being registered that are (i) owned by Affiliates of the Company or Affiliates of any officer or director of the Company or (ii) represented by warrants of the Company. Any cut-back imposed on B&C after such securities have been removed from the Registration Statement shall be allocated among all holders of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of any series of preferred stock of the Company being registered pursuant to such Registration Statement (applied to the holders of Common Stock to be issuable upon the conversion of such preferred stock on a pro rata basis based on the total number of such unregistered shares of Common Stock). In furtherance of the foregoing, if requested by the Company, B&C shall provide the Company with notice of its sale of substantially all of the Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement such that the Company will be able to file one or more additional Registration Statements to effect the registration of such Cut-Back Shares in accordance with any Commission Restrictions applicable to such Cut-Back Shares (such date of notice, the "
Restriction Termination Date
"). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut-Back Shares, all of the provisions of this
Section
2 (including the Company's obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein) shall again be applicable to such Cut-Back Shares;
provided
,
however
, that (i) the Target Filing Date for such Registration Statement including such Cut-Back Shares shall be fifteen (15) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut-Back Shares shall be the 60
th
day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date (or the 120
th
day if the Commission reviews such Registration Statement).
3.
Registration Procedures
. In connection with
the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to
Section
2 hereof, within five (5) business days after the Closing Date of the Purchase Agreement, B&C shall furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex A. In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to this
Section
3, the Company shall:

(e)

(f)

(g)
otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.
4.
Suspension of Sales
. Each selling holder of the Registrable Securities, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of any event of the kind described in
Section
3(d), shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed and is furnished with a supplemented or amended Prospectus as contemplated by
Section
3(d), and if so directed by the Company, such holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.
5.
Expenses
.

All Selling Expenses relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne and paid by B&C (or if applicable, such other holders of such Registrable Securities, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration for each such holder).
(a)
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, such holder's officers, directors, managers, members, partners, shareholders and Affiliates, each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of such holder of Registrable Securities and each other Controlling Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons, against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and shall reimburse such Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, action, damage or liability, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendments or supplements thereto (if the same was required by applicable law to be so delivered) after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same prior to any written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.
(b)
In connection with any registration in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such Registration Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of the holders of Registrable Securities and each Controlling Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such holder;
provided
, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, for each holder and shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the selling holder may otherwise have.
(c)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this
Section
6, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the claims in any such action that are subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after written notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof;
provided
, that, if (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any indemnified party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party without such indemnified party's prior written consent (but, without such consent, shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Controlling Person of such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicting indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of at least 85% of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(d)
If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;
provided
, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each holder of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or 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. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable 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.
7.
Rule 144 Compliance
. With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall:

(b)
use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, at any time after the Registration Date; and
(c)

provided
, that the provisions of

5

6 shall survive any such termination.

Dynatronics Announces Agreement to Acquire
Bird & Cronin, Inc.
Dynatronics Strengthens Position in Rehabilitation,
Sports Medicine and Athletic Training, and Physical Therapy Markets
COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, UT (September 27, 2017) – Dynatronics Corporation (NASDAQ: DYNT), today announced it has agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of Bird & Cronin, Inc., a Minneapolis-based manufacturer of orthopedic soft goods and specialty patient care products. Bird & Cronin will be operated following closing of the purchase as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynatronics.
The purchase price is approximately $14.5 million, payable in cash and stock of Dynatronics, with an additional $1.0 million contingent payment payable 24 months following the closing based on post-closing revenues of the Bird & Cronin operating unit. The purchase price will be paid at closing by delivery of cash totaling $9.1 million and the issuance of $3.6 million in shares of Dynatronics Series D Preferred Stock. Dynatronics will also pay the seller between $0.5 million and $1.5 million in cash on the second anniversary of the closing based on a predetermined formula. Approximately $900,000 in cash and $400,000 in stock will be subject to a holdback, with 50% of the holdback released one year from the closing date and the other 50% approximately two years from the closing date.
The Series D Preferred Stock will be converted automatically to Dynatronics common stock upon approval of the shareholders of Dynatronics at the upcoming 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, expected to be held before the end of the calendar year. The Series D Preferred Stock is non-voting stock, has an annual dividend rate of 6%, payable in cash. Additionally, the Company granted the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock certain registration rights in connection with the common stock underlying conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. The acquisition transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in October 2017.
Bird & Cronin designs, manufactures, and distributes orthopedic soft goods and specialty patient care products which complement Dynatronics' existing suite of rehabilitation products. The acquisition will add to Dynatronics strong, long-standing relationships with hospitals, orthopedic specialists, universities, research facilities, and other customers across the medical rehabilitation continuum of care, developed during the 45 years of Bird & Cronin's operation as a closely held business.
Bird & Cronin recorded revenues for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 of approximately $23.2 million, with gross margin of approximately 36.0%, and operating income of approximately $2.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA during the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 was $2.3 million.
On a pro forma combined basis, sales for Dynatronics and Bird & Cronin for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017 totaled approximately $60.0 million, with Bird & Cronin products accounting for approximately 40% of combined revenues. Results also include the results of Hausmann Industries, acquired by Dynatronics in April 2017, which was consolidated for one fiscal (the Company's fourth) quarter.
"We are delighted to welcome the Bird & Cronin organization, distributors and customers to Dynatronics," said Kelvyn Cullimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dynatronics. "Through this combination, we will be able to provide a broader array of solutions to our customer base. Bird & Cronin is an excellent strategic fit for Dynatronics, as it brings a financially attractive company with products complementary to those we manufacture. With our broad distribution platform, we have the opportunity to expand Bird & Cronin's products into the physical therapy private practice, athletic training, and chiropractic markets. We have a deep respect for the Cronin family and the reputation they have built over their 45-year history. We look forward to welcoming Mike Cronin and Jason Anderson, and other Bird & Cronin employees to the Dynatronics family." Messrs. Cronin and Anderson will serve as Co-Presidents of the operating subsidiary after the closing of the acquisition, positions they occupied prior to the transaction.
"We are very excited to become part of Dynatronics," said Mike Cronin, Co-President of Bird & Cronin. "Bird & Cronin has been a family owned and operated company for over four decades and there is a strong cultural fit with Dynatronics. The combined businesses will provide more opportunities for our employees, and we believe the combination has the scale to fuel future growth in our many markets. Jason and I look forward to continuing to lead Bird & Cronin as Co-Presidents of this newly-formed division."
The combination of Bird & Cronin and Dynatronics is expected to bring numerous benefits to the combined entity, including:
·
|
Gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin accretion
|
·
|
Opportunities to expand Bird & Cronin products into private practice physical therapy, athletic training, and chiropractic markets
|
·
|
Access to a strong management team with desire to continue in the combined business
|
Dynatronics expects the combined entity to be cash flow positive following the acquisition and anticipates that there may be cost synergies from the combination of the two businesses over time. The Company plans to reinvest any such synergies into the combined business. Dynatronics also expects certain one-time costs from the integration.
Dynatronics will fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of Bird & Cronin through borrowings under its existing asset-based lending facility, as amended, and through the offer and sale of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock in a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $7.0 million. Investors in the private placement include a group of investors led by Prettybrook Partners LLC and its affiliates, as well as holders of Dynatronics' Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock, and other institutional investors. Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., a subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc., is acting as the sole placement agent for the private placement.
The Series C Preferred Stock is non-voting and convertible into common stock of Dynatronics. The purchase price of the Series C Preferred Stock was $2.50 per share and investors also received warrants to purchase the shares of the Company's common stock totaling 50% of the amount of common stock conversion shares underlying the Series C Preferred Stock, exercisable for six years at $2.75 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock has an annual dividend rate of 6%, payable in cash. The Series C Preferred Stock will convert automatically on a share-for-share basis into common stock of Dynatronics immediately upon shareholder approval, expected at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held before the end of the calendar year. In the alternative, certain Series C Preferred Stockholders, whose beneficial ownership of Company common stock would exceed certain thresholds, may decline the automatic conversion in favor of retaining the Series C Preferred Stock without the dividend, liquidation preference, and redemption rights, and subject to the beneficial ownership conversion limitations. Additionally, the Company granted the investors certain registration rights in connection with the common stock underlying conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants.
The bank financing and the private placement financing providing funds to be used for the acquisition of Bird & Cronin will close on or before the closing date of the acquisition.

This press release includes information relating to adjusted EBITDA which is a financial measure that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest income or expense, other income or expense, and provision (benefit) for income taxes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
This Supplemental Disclosure is being delivered to provide certain additional information to the Purchasers regarding B&C, and the contemplated Acquisition. The full terms of the Acquisition are set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Supplemental Disclosure have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The following is a brief summary of certain aspects of the contemplated Acquisition and certain terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement as negotiated to date, which may include immaterial variances to the final Asset Purchase Agreement. It should be read by Purchasers in conjunction with all information and documents disclosed or referenced in the Securities Purchase Agreement, including without limitation, the Transaction Documents, the SEC Reports, and all exhibits and appendices thereto. This summary is also qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement which has been provided to Purchasers and which will be filed as an attachment to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission promptly after the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Additionally, representations, warranties and covenants described in this section and contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement have been made only for the purpose of the Asset Purchase Agreement and, as such, are intended solely for the benefit of the Company and B&C. In many cases, these representations, warranties and covenants are subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties and are qualified by certain disclosures exchanged by the parties in connection with the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, the representations and warranties in the Asset Purchase Agreement are the result of a negotiated allocation of contractual risk among the parties and, taken in isolation, do not necessarily reflect facts about the Company or B&C, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates or any other party. Likewise, any references to materiality contained in the representations and warranties may not correspond to concepts of materiality applicable to investors or shareholders. Finally, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement or may change in the future and these changes may not be fully reflected in the public disclosures made by the Company and/or B&C.
On or about the date of this Supplemental Disclosure, Dynatronics has entered into or will enter, the Asset Purchase Agreement, which sets forth the terms on which Dynatronics will acquire substantially all of the assets of B&C. Upon the Closing (as defined below), we will operate the business acquired from B&C as a wholly-owned subsidiary or specific division of the Company. The business conducted by B&C prior to the Closing will continue to be conducted by the Company at the facility presently used by B&C, which will be leased to the Company. As part of the Acquisition transaction, we will assume certain liabilities of B&C related to its ongoing business (primarily trade accounts and similar obligations in the ordinary course). In addition, we will offer to employ the employees of B&C as Dynatronics employees effective as of the Closing. Jason Anderson and Mike Cronin, the Co-Chief Executive Officers of B&C, will enter into employment agreements with Dynatronics to manage the B&C division of the Company following the Closing. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Cronin will also be indirect shareholders of the Company, as a portion of the purchase price consideration ($4 million dollars) payable to B&C (the selling entity owned in part by Mr. Anderson and Mr. Cronin or their affiliates) will be paid with shares of the Company's new Series D Non-voting Convertible Preferred Stock ("
Series D Preferred Stock
"). The Series D Preferred Stock will have the rights, preferences and restrictions set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series D Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock of Dynatronics Corporation, attached hereto as
Exhibit A
.
The parties expect the Acquisition to be consummated on or about October 2, 2017 (the "
Closing
"). The Closing is conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the transactions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "
Series C Preferred Offering
") and the closing of an amendment to an existing asset‑based lending credit facility between the Company and Bank of the West (the "
Loan Agreement
"). The proceeds from the Series C Preferred Offering and the Loan Agreement will be used to finance the Acquisition and to pay related transaction expenses.
The Parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement
Dynatronics Corporation
.
Dynatronics was incorporated in Utah on April 29, 1983. Dynatronics manufactures, markets, and distributes advanced-technology medical devices, treatment tables, rehabilitation equipment, orthopedic soft goods and supplies for the physical therapy, athletic training, sports medicine, chiropractic and related physical medicine markets. The executive offices of Dynatronics are located at 7030 Park Center Dr., Cottonwood Heights, Utah 84121, and its telephone number is (801) 568-7000.
Bird & Cronin, Inc.
B&C is a privately owned Minnesota corporation founded in 1968. B&C designs, manufactures, and distributes orthopedic soft goods, specialty patient care products, and patient footwear to customers in the United States and internationally. B&C operates an 85,000 square-foot manufacturing and headquarters facility located at 1200 Trapp Road, Eagan, Minnesota.
Dynatronics' Reasons for the Acquisition
The Dynatronics board of directors (the "
Board
") believes that the acquisition of B&C pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement is in the best interests of both Dynatronics and the Dynatronics shareholders. The Board has unanimously approved the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
In evaluating all material, relevant factors, the Board determined that the Acquisition presents an important strategic growth opportunity for Dynatronics. In particular, the Board believes that the Acquisition presents an opportunity to acquire an operation with complementary products and sales channels to those of Dynatronics, and to gain access to certain large national accounts and buying groups. Additionally, the Board believes that the combined (post‑acquisition) company will have positive cash flow and increased revenues. Further, the Board sees the Acquisition as an opportunity to increase the Company's portion of self‑manufactured products and provide the ability to cross‑sell to customers and attract new employees and dealers. Finally, the Board sees B&C's conservative culture with proven results as a strong fit with Dynatronics.
Required Shareholder Vote of Dynatronics
Dynatronics

On May 1, 2017, the Company and B&C executed a non-binding letter of intent for the purchase by the Company of substantially all of the assets and certain of the liabilities of B&C. The non-binding offer was conditioned upon, among other conditions, the completion of financial, legal and technical due diligence.

At that meeting, Dynatronics' executive officers were authorized and instructed to pursue activities related to the Acquisition.

As consideration for the Acquisition we will pay between $14.5 and $15.5 million, consisting of (a) $10 million in cash paid at Closing and (b) $4 million in shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued at Closing, and (c) between $0.5 and $1.5 million in cash to be paid on the second anniversary of the Closing based on a predetermined formula outlined in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "
Purchase Price
"). The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment under circumstances described in the Asset Purchase Agreement, provided that the total consideration will in no event exceed $15.5 million.
Conditions to Closing of the Acquisition
.
The closing of the Acquisition and the obligations of the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement are conditioned upon the satisfaction, deferral or, if permitted, waiver of certain conditions by the Closing Date.

B&C designs, manufactures, and distributes orthopedic soft goods, specialty patient care products, and patient footwear to customers in the United States and internationally. Over 90% of B&C's products are made in B&C's 85,000 square-foot manufacturing facility located at 1200 Trapp Road, Eagan, Minnesota.
Business Overview and Objectives
B&C has been family owned and operated for over 45 years and is proud of its tradition of manufacturing the industry's highest quality medical products with a special emphasis on customer care. B&C's mission is to provide quality medical products and services to its customers, recognizing its obligation to be aware, informed and responsive to the changing needs of the health-care environment.
B&C has benefitted from strong, long-standing relationships with hospitals, orthopedic specialists, universities, research facilities, and other customers across the medical universe. B&C sells products through direct sales as well as through distribution relationships. Additionally, B&C holds a number of National Group Purchasing and Government Contracts, some of which include Intalere (formerly Amerinet), Department of Deference, and Department of Veterans Affairs.
Gross sales for the years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2016 were $23.2 million and $24.0 million, respectively. Net income for the years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2016 were approximately $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
B&C currently has 109 employees. B&C believes that the skills and dedication of its employees separate its products from those of its competitors.
Two key employees are Jason Anderson and Mike Cronin, currently serving as Co-Chief Executive Officers of B&C.
Mr. Cronin has over 25 years of experience leading sales, marketing, and customer service efforts. Prior to joining Bird & Cronin, Mike owned and operated his own medical distribution business. Mike is active in the community and lives just outside Minneapolis with his wife and children.
Mr. Anderson has over 20 years of experience leading businesses, operations and technology.

Jason is active in the community and lives just outside Minneapolis with his wife and three children.
In connection with the Acquisition, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Cronin will each enter into a written employment agreement (the "
Employment Agreements

Approximately 90% of B&C's revenues are generated from self‑manufactured products, with the remaining 10% generated from third party distributed products.
B&C's products include ankle walkers, wrist supports, ankle braces, abdominal binders, knee & leg supports, catheters, cervical collars, shoulder immobilizers, splints, extrication collars, and many other related products. All of B&C's products fall under the FDA Class I distinction based on the risks associated with the manufactured products. Class I devices are deemed to be low risk and are therefore subject to the least regulatory controls. B&C also has the capability to private label products for customers, which is a key differentiator in the market.
A full listing of B&C's products can be found in its online catalog located at:

An investment in Dynatronics pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement involves a high degree of risk and should not be made by persons who cannot afford the loss of their entire investment. Each of the following factors should be carefully considered by Purchasers prior to making an investment decision. If any of these risks were to occur, Dynatronics' business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the value of Dynatronics' securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Dynatronics' subsequent filings with the Commission may contain amended and updated discussions of significant risks. Dynatronics cannot predict future risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect financial performance. Please also read carefully the section above entitled "Forward-Looking Statements."
Certain risk factors relating to the business and industry of Dynatronics and its securities can be found in Part I, Item 1A —"Risk Factors" in Dynatronics Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. In addition, prospective Purchasers should carefully consider additional risks that relate to the Acquisition and the business of B&C, including but not limited to, the risks set forth below.
Risks Relating to the Acquisition
Failure to complete, or delays in completing the proposed Acquisition, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and our stock price.
Consummation of the Acquisition is subject to many contingencies. While the closing of the Series C Preferred Offering is contingent upon closing the Acquisition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully consummate the Acquisition as currently contemplated, or at all. Risks related to the failure of the Acquisition to be consummated include, but are not limited to, the following:
·
|
we would not realize any of the potential benefits of the transaction, including any synergies that could result from combining our financial and proprietary resources with the assets of B&C, which could have a negative effect on our stock price;
|
·
|
we may remain liable for significant costs, including legal, accounting and other costs relating to the transaction, regardless of whether the transaction is consummated;
|
·
|
the trading price of our Common Stock may decline if the current market price for our stock reflects a market assumption that the Acquisition will be completed; and
|
·
|
the attention of our management may have been diverted to the Acquisition rather than to our own operations and the pursuit of other opportunities that could have been beneficial to us.
|
The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and our stock price.
Uncertainty about the proposed Acquisition may adversely affect relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees, whether or not the transaction is completed.
In response to the announcement of the proposed Acquisition, Dynatronics' and/or B&C's existing or prospective customers or suppliers may:
·
|
delay, defer or cease purchasing products or services from us or the combined company, or providing products or services to us or the combined company;
|
·
|
delay or defer other decisions concerning us or the combined company; or
|
·
|
otherwise seek to change the terms on which they do business with us or the combined company.
|
Any such delays or changes to terms could materially harm our business or, if the Acquisition is completed, the combined business. In addition, as a result of the proposed Acquisition, the employees to be acquired from B&C could experience uncertainty about their future with us following the Closing. As a result, key employees may depart because of issues relating to such uncertainties, or a desire not to remain with us following the Acquisition. Losses of customers, employees or other important strategic relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Such adverse effects could also be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Acquisition for any reason.
We expect to incur substantial expenses related to the integration of B&C.
We expect to incur substantial expenses in connection with the integration of the business, policies, procedures, operations, technologies and systems of B&C. There are a large number of systems and functions that must be integrated, including, but not limited to, management information, accounting and finance, billing, payroll and benefits and regulatory compliance. Acquisitions of privately held entities, such as B&C, are particularly challenging because their prior practices may not meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and/or generally accepted public accounting standards. While we have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred, there are a number of factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of all of the expected integration expenses. Moreover, many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately at the present time. These expenses could, particularly in the near term, exceed the savings that we expect to achieve from the elimination of duplicative expenses, the realization of economies of scale and cost savings, and other synergies related to the integration of the businesses following completion of the Acquisition.
We may be unable to successfully integrate our business with the business of B&C and realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition.
The Acquisition involves the combination of the businesses of two companies that currently operate as independent companies. Although we recently acquired Hausmann Industries, Inc. in April 2017, our management has limited integration experience and will be required to devote significant attention and resources to integrating our business practices and operations with those of B&C. Potential difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include, but are not limited to, the following:
·
|
inability to successfully combine our business with the business of B&C in a manner that permits us to achieve the full synergies anticipated from the Acquisition;
|
·
|
complexities associated with managing our business and the business of B&C following the Acquisition, including the challenge of integrating complex systems, technology, networks and other assets of each of the companies in a seamless manner that minimizes any adverse impact on customers, suppliers, employees and other constituencies;
|
·
|
integrating the workforces of the two companies while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high quality customer service; and
|
·
|
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or delays associated with the Acquisition, including costs to integrate the two companies that may exceed anticipated costs.
|
Any of the potential difficulties listed above could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees, lenders and other constituencies or our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition or otherwise adversely affect our business and financial results following completion of the Acquisition.
Our actual financial and operating results after the Acquisition could differ materially from any expectations or guidance provided by us concerning future results, including (without limitation) expectations or guidance with respect to the financial impact of any cost savings and other potential synergies.
We currently expect to realize an increase in sales and other synergies as a result of the proposed Acquisition. These expectations are subject to numerous assumptions, however, including assumptions derived from our diligence efforts concerning the status of and prospects for B&C's business, which we do not currently control, and assumptions relating to the near-term prospects for our industry generally and the markets for B&C's products in particular. Additional assumptions that we have made include, without limitation, the following:
·
|
projections of B&C's future revenues;
|
·
|
anticipated financial performance of B&C's products and products currently in development;
|
·
|
anticipated cost savings and other synergies associated with the Acquisition, including potential revenue synergies;
|
·
|
our expected capital structure after the Acquisition;
|
·
|
amount of goodwill and intangibles that will result from the Acquisition;
|
·
|
certain other purchase accounting adjustments that we expect to record in our financial statements in connection with the Acquisition;
|
·
|
acquisition costs, including restructuring charges and transaction costs payable to our financial, legal and accounting advisors;
|
·
|
our ability to maintain, develop and deepen relationships with B&C's customers; and
|
·
|
other financial and strategic risks of the Acquisition.
|
We cannot provide any assurances with respect to the accuracy of our assumptions, including our assumptions with respect to future revenues or revenue growth rates, if any, of B&C, and we cannot provide assurances with respect to our ability to realize any cost savings that we currently anticipate. Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from currently anticipated results include, but are not limited to, risks relating to our ability to integrate B&C successfully; currently unanticipated incremental costs that we may incur in connection with integrating the two companies; risks relating to our ability to realize incremental revenues from the Acquisition in the amounts that we currently anticipate; risks relating to the willingness of B&C's customers and other partners to continue to conduct business with us following the Acquisition; and numerous risks and uncertainties that affect our industry generally and the markets for our products and those of B&C, specifically. Any failure to integrate B&C successfully and to realize the financial benefits we currently anticipate from the Acquisition would have a material adverse impact on our future operating results and financial condition and could materially and adversely affect the trading price or trading volume of our Common Stock.
The combined businesses may not perform as we expect, or as the market expects, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock.
Risks associated with the combined company following the Acquisition include:
·
|
integrating businesses is a difficult, expensive, and time-consuming process, and the failure to integrate successfully our business with the businesses of B&C in the expected time frame would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations;
|
·
|
the Acquisition will significantly increase the size of our operations, and if we are not able to effectively manage our expanded operations, our stock price may be adversely affected;
|
·
|
it is possible that key employees of B&C might decide not to remain with us after the Acquisition, and the loss of such personnel could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects of the Company;
|
·
|
the current sales rates of B&C as combined with the Company may dilute the observed growth rates of the Company;
|
·
|
the success of the Company following the Closing will also depend upon relationships with third parties and pre-existing customers of us and B&C, which relationships may be affected by customer preferences or public attitudes about the Acquisition. Any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations; and
|
·
|
the price of our Common Stock after the Acquisition may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the price of our Common Stock.
|
If any of these events were to occur, the price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to the Operation of the B&C Business Following the Acquisition
Uncertain or weakened global economic conditions may adversely affect B&C's industry, business and results of operations.
The overall performance of the B&C division will depend on domestic and worldwide economic conditions, which may remain challenging for the foreseeable future. Financial developments seemingly unrelated to B&C or its industry may adversely affect it. The U.S. economy and other key international economies have been impacted by threatened sovereign defaults and ratings downgrades, falling demand for a variety of goods and services, restricted credit, threats to major multinational companies, poor liquidity, reduced corporate profitability, volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets, bankruptcies, acts of terrorism and overall uncertainty. Healthcare reform in the United States has created a great deal of confusion and reduced capital expenditures for medical equipment and products such as those manufactured and distributed by B&C. These conditions affect the rate of medical or therapeutic equipment spending and could adversely affect our ability to sell B&C's products, or delay prospective purchasing decisions, any of which could adversely affect our operating results. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of the economic recovery or any subsequent economic slowdown worldwide, in the United States, or in B&C's industry.
B&C's failure or inability to enforce its trademarks or other proprietary rights could adversely affect its competitive position or the value of its brand.
B&C owns certain
federal trademark registrations but also relies on unregistered proprietary rights, including common law trademark protection. Third parties may oppose B&C's trademark applications, or otherwise challenge its use of the trademarks, and may be able to use its trademarks in jurisdictions where they are not registered or otherwise protected by law. If B&C's trademarks are successfully challenged or if a third party is using confusingly similar or identical trademarks in particular jurisdictions before B&C, B&C could be forced to rebrand its products, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require additional resources for marketing new brands. If others are able to use B&C's trademarks, its ability to distinguish its products may be impaired, which could adversely affect its business. Further, we cannot assure you that competitors will not infringe upon B&C's trademarks, or that we will have adequate resources to enforce its trademarks.
B&C may be unable to effectively develop and market products against the products of its competitors in a highly competitive industry.
The present or future products of B&C could be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by technological advances by its competitors. Competitive factors include price, customer service, technology, innovation, quality, reputation and reliability. B&C's competition may respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies, undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, have greater financial, marketing and other resources than B&C, or be more successful in attracting potential customers, employees and strategic partners. Given these factors, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue the current level of success of B&C in the industry.
The cost of complying with complex governmental regulations applicable to the B&C business, sanctions resulting from non-compliance, or reduced demand resulting from increased regulations, could affect our operating results.
B&C's operations and facilities are subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act ("
OSHA
") and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers, and the proper design, operation and maintenance of equipment. Additionally, certain products of B&C are subject to the requirements of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the oversight of the Food and Drug Administration ("
FDA
").
Failure to comply with these requirements, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements and monitoring and control requirements, may result in significant fines or compliance costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
