CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES.
6.1
T
ransfer Restrictions.
6.1.1.
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 promulgated under the Securities Act, to the Company or to an affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with, 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 shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement.
6.1.2.
The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 5.1, of a legend on any of the Securities, including the Shares, substantially in the following form:
[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] 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 OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED 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 COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
6.1.3.
Certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 6.1.2 hereof), (a) following any sale of such shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (b) if such shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (c) following any sale of such shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares, pursuant to the plan of distribution in an effective registration statement (in compliance with any prospectus delivery requirements), or (d) 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 “
Removal Date
”). The Company shall cause its counsel at its own expense to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Removal Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder as permitted by applicable law then in effect. The Company agrees that following the Removal Date, it will, no later than five (5) trading days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend, together with any reasonable certifications requested by the Company, the Company’s counsel or the Transfer Agent (such fifth (5th) trading day, the “
Legend Removal Date
”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares 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 Section 6. Certificates for shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser if the Transfer Agent is then a participant in such system and either (i) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of such shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares by the Purchaser (and the Purchaser provides the Company or the Company’s counsel with any requested certifications with respect to future sales of such shares) or (ii) the shares are eligible for resale by the Purchaser without volume limitations and may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) of the 1933 Act.
6.1.4.
In addition to any other rights available to a Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser unlegended shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser, or a broker on such Purchaser’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares that such Purchaser was entitled to receive from the Company (a “
Buy-In
”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to such Purchaser (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by such Purchaser) the amount by which (a) such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (b) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as unlegended shares (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Purchaser purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares delivered to the Company for reissuance as unlegended shares having an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser $1,000, plus interest. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In. For purposes of this Agreement, the “purchase price” of a (a) share of Common Stock shall be the $0.30 (subject to appropriate adjustments for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction after the date hereof) and (B) Warrant Share shall be the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants).
6.1.5.
In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to such Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares (based on the purchase price of such shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day five (5) trading days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each trading day after the fifth (5th) trading day following 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.
6.2
Furnishing of Information; Public Information
.
6.2.1.
Until no Purchaser owns any Securities, the Company covenants to file all periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or alternatively, if registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. . As long as the Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
6.2.2.
At any time during the period commencing from the date that is 6 months after the date hereof and ending on 36 months after the Final Closing Date, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “
Public Information Failure
”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the pro-rata portion of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price of unsold shares of Common Stock and Warrants on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (A) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (B) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers to transfer their shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6.2.2 are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments”. Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (Y) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred, and (Z) the third (3rd) business day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum payment hereunder shall not exceed twelve (12%) percent of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price.
6.3
Listing of Securities
. The Company agrees, (i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other trading market, it will include in such application the shares of Common Stock and any Warrant Shares of each Purchaser, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable to cause such shares of Common Stock and any Warrant Shares to be listed on such other trading market as promptly as possible, and (ii) it will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market (as defined in the Warrant) and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of any such Trading Market (as defined in the Warrant).

The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
6.6

The Company understands and confirms that Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
