Item 1.01.                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 2, 2005, we executed a Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with various investors, including G. Ward Paxton, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and James F. Gero, a member of our Board of Directors, in connection with a private placement.  We issued the purchasers in the private placement an aggregate of 564,607 shares of our newly created Series 3 5% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 282,306 shares of our common stock.  We also issued to employees of Stonegate Securities, Inc., our placement agent in connection with the private placement, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 27,531 shares of our common stock and paid Stonegate an aggregate fee of $60,016.80.

 

The terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the private placement warrants and the warrants we issued to the employees of Stonegate are described more fully below and copies of these documents are attached as exhibits to their report.

 

As a condition to the consummation of the private placement, each of our officers and directors executed a voting agreement pursuant to which they have agreed to vote the shares owned by them in favor of any proposal to stockholders requesting the approval of the issuance of more than 1,381,900 shares of our common stock, or 19.999% of our common stock outstanding as of December 2, 2005, upon conversion of the shares of preferred stock and the exercise of the warrants we issued in the private placement, to the extent this approval is required by Nasdaq rules.  The form of the voting agreement executed by each of our officers and directors is attached as Exhibit 4.6 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02.                                           Unregistered Sales of Securities.

 

Private Placement

 

On December 2, 2005, we completed a private placement of unregistered securities to six institutional investors and three individual accredited investors, including G. Ward Paxton, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and James F. Gero, a member of our Board of Directors, pursuant to which the investors paid us an aggregate of $1,230,842.92 in consideration for (1) 564,607 shares of our Series 3 5% convertible preferred stock convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.18 per share and (2) warrants to purchase up to 282,306 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.58 per share.

 

We intend to use the proceeds from the private placement for general working capital purposes, including ongoing operating expenses, trade payables, the payment of dividends on the new preferred stock or our existing preferred stock and expenses in connection with the private placement.  However, the Securities Purchase Agreement we executed in connection with the private placement restricts us from using the proceeds to pay other debt, to redeem securities or settle litigation.  Other than these restrictions, our management will have broad discretion over how we use the net proceeds of this offering and could spend proceeds in ways with which stockholders do not agree.  Pending deployment of the funds, we may invest the proceeds in ways that do not yield favorable returns.

 

1



 

We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D as the basis for our exemption from registration for the issuance of the preferred stock and the warrants in the private placement.

 

The terms of the private placement, the preferred stock and the warrants are described more fully below.

 

Compensation of Placement Agent

 

Stonegate Securities, Inc. acted as our placement agent for the private placement.  As compensation for services rendered to us by Stonegate, we agreed to:

 

                                          pay Stonegate a cash fee equal to $60,016.80, including a $5,000 retainer fee; and

 

                                          issue to Stonegate or its assigns warrants to purchase an aggregate of 27,531 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.58 per share.

 

The employees of Stonegate who received the warrants are accredited investors, and we issued the warrants to them pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D.  The terms of these warrants are described below in “Terms of the Warrants—Stonegate Warrants.”

 

Terms of the Series 3 5% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Dividends .  Holders of preferred stock are entitled to a 5% per annum dividend per share.  The dividend accrues and is payable in cash quarterly on the first business day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning on March 1, 2006.  Dividends may increase to 18% per annum upon the occurrence of certain redemption events described below under “Terms of the Series 3 5% Convertible Preferred Stock—Redemption” below.

 

Accrued but unpaid dividends are payable upon the conversion or redemption of the shares of preferred stock and upon a liquidation event.  Dividends not paid within five business days of the day they are due accrue daily interest at the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, until the dividends and the accrued interest are paid in cash.

 

As long as any shares of preferred stock are outstanding, we cannot pay dividends or make other distribution on, redeem shares of, or set money aside or create a sinking fund for that purpose for, any shares of capital stock ranking junior to the preferred stock with respect to dividends, including our common stock.  However, this restriction does not apply to the payment of accrued dividends on our existing 5% convertible preferred stock or the conversion of any convertible capital stock in accordance with its terms.

 

Voting Rights .  Holders of preferred stock have no voting rights, except as required by law.  However, as long as any shares of preferred stock remain outstanding, we cannot take any of the following actions without the separate class vote or written consent of all of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock:

 

2



 

                                          alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or privileges of the preferred stock;

 

                                          alter or amend the Certificate of Designation creating the preferred stock;

 

                                          authorize or create any class stock ranking senior to, or on an equal basis with, the preferred stock with respect to dividends, redemption or liquidation;

 

                                          amend our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents in a manner which adversely affects the rights of any of the holders of the preferred stock;

 

                                          increase the authorized number of shares of preferred stock; or

 

                                          enter into any agreement to do any of the above.

 

Conversion .  The holders of the preferred stock have the option to convert their shares of preferred stock into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.18 per share.  We also have the right to force conversion of outstanding shares of preferred stock after December 2, 2006, if the following conditions are met:

 

                                          the volume weighted average price of our common stock for twenty consecutive trading days must be at least 200% of the conversion price of the preferred stock then in effect, for a period of 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the redemption;

 

                                          we notify the holders of the conversion within one trading day after our common stock meets the above trading price requirement;

 

                                          we have honored all requested conversions of preferred stock, if any;

 

                                          we have paid any liquidated damages or other amounts owing on the preferred stock;

 

                                          the registration statement related covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the preferred stock and warrants is effective and is expected to remain effective;

 

                                          our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Nasdaq National Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board;

 

                                          we have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion;

 

                                          no event which would give the holders the right to redeem there shares of preferred stock exists;

 

3



 

                                          the issuance of the shares of common stock would not cause a relevant holder to exceed the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation described above; and

 

                                          we have not publicly announced any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender or exchange offer, reclassification of our common stock or any share exchange or any transaction which would constitute a change of control for purposes of the liquidation preference of the preferred stock.

 

Because the original purchase price and the initial conversion price are the same, each share of preferred stock is initially convertible into one share of our common stock.  The preferred stock contains adjustment provisions upon the occurrence of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications or similar events of our capital stock as well as any rights offering or pro rata distribution of cash, property, assets or securities to holders of our common stock.

 

A holder of preferred stock cannot convert shares of preferred stock into shares of our common stock if that holder would beneficially own greater than 4.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, upon conversion of the preferred stock.  However, this restriction does not apply to any holder of preferred stock who is one of our directors or officers.  Although this restriction does not limit the conversion of the shares of preferred stock purchased by Mr. Paxton or Mr. Gero, neither Mr. Paxton nor Mr. Gero may convert their shares into common stock unless and until the issuance is approved by our stockholders to the extent required by Nasdaq rules.

 

In addition, we cannot issue shares to a holder of preferred stock if the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all shares of preferred stock added together with the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants exceeds 1,381,900, or 19.999% of our outstanding shares of common stock on December 2, 2005, unless we have received the requisite approval of our stockholders under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350.

 

Rank; Liquidation Preference .  The holders of preferred stock rank prior to the holders of our common stock and existing preferred stock with respect to the distribution of our assets upon a dissolution, liquidation or other similar event.  The liquidation preference for the preferred stock is an amount equal to $2.18 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

 

In addition to a dissolution, liquidation or similar event, the following “change of control” transactions constitute a liquidation:

 

                                          an acquisition by an individual, legal entity or group, as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of more than 33% of our voting securities;

 

                                          a merger or consolidation with or into another entity, after which our stockholders own less than 66% of the aggregate voting power of the surviving corporation;

 

                                          a sale of all or substantially all of our assets to an entity in which our stockholders own less than 66% of aggregate voting power of the acquiring entity;

 

4



 

                                          a replacement at one time or within one year of more than half the members of our board of directors which is not approved by the members of our board of directors or their nominees;

 

                                          the execution of a binding agreement to effect any of the above transactions.

 

Redemption .  Holders of preferred stock can require us to redeem all of their shares of preferred stock upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

                                          the failure of the registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the preferred stock and warrants to be declared effective by the SEC by July 20, 2006;

 

                                          the registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying preferred stock and warrants ceases to be effective or a holder is not permitted to resell its shares of common stock registered for resale for more than 90 calendar days in any twelve month period;

 

                                          our failure to deliver certificates for common stock within ten trading days of a request to convert, or we publicly announce that we will not comply with requests to convert;

 

                                          our failure to comply within 60 days after our default in the provisions of the registration rights agreement requiring us to provide the holders an opportunity to review and comment on the registration statement, to request acceleration within five trading days of the SEC informing us they have no further review of the registration statement or to file a pre-effective amendment to the registration statement within ten trading days after receiving any SEC comments;

 

                                          our failure to pay within ten days after receipt of notice to a holder for any damages it incurs as a of open market purchases to cover sales of common stock which we did not timely issue common stock certificates on conversion;

 

                                          our failure to have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares to permit conversion;

 

                                          our breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in the Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, warrants or other transaction documents executed in connection with the private placement which we have not cured within 45 days after notice of such breach;

 

                                          our redemption of any shares of common stock or existing preferred stock, other than conversions of the existing preferred stock and the repurchase of up $100,000 per calendar year of common stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers upon their termination;

 

5



 

                                          we become party to a change of control transaction that results in a liquidation of the preferred stock; or

 

                                          we have filed for bankruptcy, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, or made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

 

The redemption price is the sum of (1) the greater of $2.834 and the product of the volume weighted average price of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the event multiplied by $2.18 divided by the conversion price then in effect plus (2) any accrued but unpaid dividends on the preferred stock plus (3) all liquidated damages or other amounts payable to the holders of preferred stock.  The redemption price is payable in cash if a redemption event occurs as a result of our failure to deliver stock certificates upon conversion, our public announcement of our refusal to comply with conversion requests, our failure to pay damages to a holder who is forced to cover a sale for which we did not timely issue certificates, our breach of the provisions of any of the agreements executed in connection with the private placement, our becoming party to a change of control transaction or our voluntary bankruptcy.  In the case of any other redemption event, a holder has the option to receive a number of shares of our common stock equal to the redemption price divided by 75% of the ten-day average of the volume weighted average of our common stock ending on the day immediately preceding the holder’s election, subject to a floor of $0.87 per share, or an increase in the dividends payable per share to 18% per annum.  Mr. Paxton and Mr. Gero will not be able to receive stock upon redemption of their shares of preferred stock unless and until the issuance is approved by our stockholders to the extent required by Nasdaq rules.  Payment of the redemption price is due within five trading days after the holder provides us with a notice of payment, after which the unpaid amount accrues interest daily at a rate equal to the lower of 18% per annum and the highest rate permitted by law.

 

Terms of the Warrants

 

Private Placement Warrants .  The warrants we issued in the private placement have an initial exercise price of $2.58 per share and are exercisable for our common stock at any time during the period commencing on June 6, 2006 and ending on or before June 6, 2011.  The warrants contain a cashless exercise provision, permitting the holder at any time on or after December 2, 2007, in lieu of paying the exercise price, to surrender the warrant for a number of shares of common stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant by a fraction based on the exercise price of the warrant and the volume weighted average price of our common stock on trading day immediately preceding the exercise date.  A holder may only use the cashless exercise if there is no effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrant at the time the holder wishes to exercise.

 

All of the warrants contain adjustment provisions upon the occurrence of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassification or similar events of our capital stock as well as pro rata distributions of cash, property, assets or securities to holders of our common stock.  In addition, if we issue shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock at a price less than the exercise price of the warrants, other than in an

 

6



 

issuance exempt from the purchasers’ pre-emptive rights described below, the exercise price of the warrants will reset to the lower price.

 

A holder of a warrant cannot exercise warrants for shares of our common stock if that holder would beneficially own greater than 4.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, upon exercise of the warrants.  However, this restriction does not apply to any holder of a warrant who is one of our directors or officers.  Although this restriction does not currently limit the exercise of the warrants acquired by Mr. Paxton or Mr. Gero, neither Mr. Paxton or Mr. Gero may exercise their warrants for common stock unless the issuance is approved by our stockholders to the extent required by Nasdaq rules.

 

In addition, we cannot issue shares of common stock upon the exercise of a warrant if the number of shares to be issued upon the exercise of all of the private placement warrants added together with the number of shares issuable upon the conversion of the preferred stock, exceeds 1,381,900, or 19.999% of our outstanding shares of common stock on December 2, 2005, unless we have received the requisite approval of our stockholders under Nasdaq Marketplace rule 4350.

 

Stonegate Warrants .   The warrants we issued to the employees of Stonegate have an initial exercise price of $2.58 per share and are exercisable for our common stock at any time on or before December 2, 2011.  Each warrant contains a cashless exercise provision, permitting the holder, in lieu of paying the exercise price, to surrender the warrant for a number of shares of common stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant by a fraction based on the exercise price of the warrant and the current market value of our common stock.

 

The warrants contain adjustment provisions upon the occurrence of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassification or similar events of our capital stock.

 

Pre-emptive Rights and Restrictions on Future Sales of Equity

 

Pre-emptive Rights .  Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into in connection with the private placement, we granted the investors, other than Mr. Paxton and Mr. Gero, who continue to own shares of preferred stock prior to the sale, the right to purchase up to 100% of the securities we may offer in certain future sales of securities within 180 days of the effective date of the registration statement covering resale the shares of common stock underlying the preferred stock and the warrants.

 

The investors’ right of purchase will not apply to the following issuances by us:

 

                                          shares issuable upon the conversion of the preferred stock or the exercise of the warrants;

 

                                          securities we issue to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensation;

 

7



 

                                          securities issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants or other convertible securities currently outstanding, as long as we have not amended these securities to increase the number of shares issuable upon conversion or to decrease the exercise price other than as a result of their respective anti-dilution provisions;

 

                                          shares of stock issued in connection with a stock split, stock dividend or recapitalization;

 

                                          securities we issue in connection with commercial lending and lease transactions;

 

                                          securities we issue as compensation to registered broker-dealers engaged by us to obtain financing on our behalf;

 

                                          securities we issue in connection with acquisitions or strategic transactions; and

 

                                          shares of stock we issue in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering with gross proceeds of at least $30,000,000.

 

Restrictions of Future Sales .  The Securities Purchase Agreement also restricts us from issuing any shares of common stock or other securities convertible or exercisable for common stock until the date that is 180 days of the effective date of the registration statement covering resale the shares of common stock underlying the preferred stock and the warrants.  In addition, as long as any investor holds preferred stock or warrants, we cannot issue debt or equity securities that are convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock at a price that varies with the trading price of our common stock or is subject to reset for events contingent on our business or the price of our common stock or enter into any other agreement, including an equity line of credit, pursuant to which we sell securities at a future determined price.  However, these restrictions to do apply to transactions which are exempt from the pre-emptive rights described above.

 

These provisions may hinder or delay our ability to raise additional debt or equity financing if and when we require additional capital to operate or grow our business.

 

Registration Rights

 

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we are required to file a registration statement to register the 849,913 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the preferred stock and upon the exercise of the warrants issued to the investors in the private placement.  This registration statement will also include the 27,531 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrant we issued to Stonegate.  Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we may be subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages if any of the following events occurs:

 

                                          we fail to file the registration statement by January 6, 2006;

 

8



 

                                          the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the earlier to occur of April 1, 2006 or the fifth trading day after the SEC informs us that they have no further review of the registration statement;

 

                                          we fail to request acceleration of the registration statement within five trading days of the SEC informing us they have no further review of the registration statement or to file a pre-effective amendment to the registration statement within ten trading days after receiving any SEC comments; or

 

                                          the registration statement ceases to be effective or a holder is not permitted to resell its shares of common stock registered for resale for more than 30 calendar days in any twelve month period.

 

The amount of liquidated damages will equal 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid to us by the investors in the private placement for the first thirty-day period, and 2% of the aggregate purchase price for each subsequent thirty-day period, each pro rated for any shorter period, following any of the above events.  The damages are payable on the monthly anniversary of the date of the event giving rise to the damages.  Any damages not paid within seven days of the date due will accrue daily interest at the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum amount permitted by law until paid in full.  No damages are payable to Stonegate with respect to the shares of common stock underlying its warrant or to any person who is one of our officers or directors at the time the payment is due.  Therefore, Mr. Paxton and Mr. Gero are not currently entitled to receive any of these damages.

 

We must keep the registration statement effective until the earlier to occur of the date when all the securities covered by the Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) and the date on which all securities covered by the registration statement have been sold.

 

None of the shares of preferred stock, the warrants, including the warrant we issued to Stonegate, or the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and none of these securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.  This report is neither an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.

 

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations of the Series 3 5% Convertible Preferred Stock, the form of warrant issued to the investors, the form of warrant we issued to the employees of Stonegate, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

9



 

Annex A (a “ Notice of Conversion ”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation by facsimile (the “ Conversion Date ”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.  To effect conversions, as the case may be, of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case the Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such share of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue.  Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock or redeemed in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and may not be reissued.

 

b)             Conversion Price .  The conversion price for the Preferred Stock shall equal $2.18 (the “ Conversion Price ”), subject to adjustment herein.

 

c)              Beneficial Ownership Limitation .   The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including the Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(c) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which shares of Preferred Stock is 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 Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and which shares of the Preferred Stock is convertible, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitations. To ensure

 

10



 

compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation 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 Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) any other notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Corporation shall within two 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 Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The provisions of this Section 6(c) may be waived by the Holder, at the election of the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Corporation, and the provisions of this Section 6(c) shall continue to apply until such 61 st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver); provided, that upon any such waiver, the beneficial ownership limitation shall be 9.99%, which may not be waived by the Holder.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(c) shall not apply to any Holder who is an officer or director of the Corporation as of the Closing Date or as of the date of conversion. In addition, if the Holder is an officer or director of the Company as of the Original Issue Date, such Holder may not convert any of his shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock or receive any shares of Common Stock in connection with a Triggering Event unless and until the issuance of such shares is approved by the Company’s stockholders, to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

d)             Limitation on Number of Shares Issuable .  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not issue to any Holder any shares of Common Stock, including pursuant to any rights herein, including, without limitation, any conversion rights, to the extent such shares, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) or upon exercise of any Warrants would exceed 1,381,900, or such greater number of shares of Common Stock permitted pursuant to the corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market that is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, based upon share volume, as confirmed in writing by counsel to the Corporation (the “ Maximum Aggregate Share Amount ”), unless the Corporation first obtains shareholder approval permitting such issuances in accordance with the Nasdaq Market Place Rule 4350 (“ Shareholder Approval ”).  Each Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Maximum Aggregate Share Amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) such the number of shares of Preferred Stock initially purchased by such Holder by (y) the aggregate number of shares purchased by all Holders.  Such portions

 

11



 

shall be adjusted upward ratably in the event all of the shares of Preferred Stock of any Holder are no longer outstanding.

Not later than three Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates which, after the Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends. After the Effective Date, the Corporation shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver any certificate or certificates representing Common Stock required to be delivered by the Corporation under this Section electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall immediately return the certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock tendered for conversion.

 

ii.              Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages .  The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the 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 the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares.  In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of the Stated Value of its Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder of has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Preferred Stock shall have been sought and obtained and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the Stated Value of Preferred Stock outstanding, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall

 

12



 

be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment.  In the absence of an injunction precluding the same, the Corporation shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) within two Trading Days of the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of Stated Value of Preferred Stock being converted, $50 per Trading Day (increasing to $100 per Trading Day after three Trading Days and increasing to $200 per Trading Day six Trading Days after such damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion 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.

 

iii.             Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . If the Corporation fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 6(e)(i) by a Share Delivery Date, and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Corporation shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) 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 price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. 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 conversion of shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which the aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation is $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Corporation shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation. 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 Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

13



 

iv.             Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the 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 Preferred Stock), not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Corporation as to reservation of such shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.  The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement.

 

v.              Fractional Shares . Upon a conversion hereunder, the Corporation shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of the Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the VWAP at such time.  If the Corporation elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

 

vi.             Transfer Taxes .  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Corporation 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 certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such shares of Preferred Stock so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

Section 7 .                Certain Adjustments .

 

a)              Stock Dividends and Stock Splits .  If the Corporation, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make 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 Corporation pursuant to this Preferred Stock) or any distribution made in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, including any

 

14



 

Liquidation under Section 5, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion 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.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)             [RESERVED] .

 

c)              Subsequent Rights Offerings .  If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the VWAP at the record date mentioned below, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock Outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock Outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Corporation in full of all consideration payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such VWAP.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants.

 

d)             Pro Rata Distributions . If the Corporation, at any time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such

 

15



 

distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

e)              Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation), (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification 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, in each case which does not otherwise constitute a Liquidation (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then upon any subsequent conversion of this 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 same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “ Alternate Consideration ”).  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 share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation 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 Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction, as the case may be, shall make provisions in its certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document to provide the Holder with new preferred stock or other equity security consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(e) and insuring that this Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

f)              Calculations .  All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th 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

 

16



 

as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g)             Notice to Holders .

 

i.               Adjustment to Conversion Price .  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.              Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder .  If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock (other than repurchases of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Corporation has the option to repurchase such shares upon the happening of certain events, such as termination in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000); (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation; then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as its shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided , that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Holder is entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of this Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the 20-day

 

17



 

period commencing the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

 

Section 8 .                Forced Conversion

 

a)              Forced Conversion .  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the 12 month anniversary of the Original Issue Date and after the Effective Date the VWAP for each of any 20 consecutive Trading Days (“ Threshold Period ”), which 20 consecutive Trading Day period shall have commenced only after the Effective Date, exceeds 200% of the then effective Conversion Price, the Corporation may, within 1 Trading Day after any such Threshold Period, deliver a notice to all Holders (a “ Forced Conversion Notice ” and the date such notice is received by the Holders, the “ Forced Conversion Notice Date ”) to cause each Holder to immediately convert up to such Holder’s entire remaining number of shares of Preferred Stock.  The Corporation may only effect a Forced Conversion Notice if all of the Equity Conditions have been met during the Threshold Period through the Forced Conversion Notice Date.   Any Forced Conversion Notices shall be applied ratably to all of the Holders in proportion to each Holder’s initial purchases of Preferred Stock hereunder, provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder’s pro-rata allocation thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder.  Immediately upon the Forced Conversion Notice Date, each outstanding share of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the Holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the following sentence.  Upon the Forced Conversion Notice Date, the Holders of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation in accordance with Section 6(a); provided that the Holders shall have no obligation to deliver a Notice of Conversion.  Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to each Holder within three (3) Trading Days and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible upon the Forced Conversion Notice Date.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

To Purchase                   Shares of Common Stock of

 

Intrusion Inc.

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received,                       (the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the six month anniversary of the date hereof (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Intrusion Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to               shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”).  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1 .                Definitions .  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated December 2, 2005, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

 

Section 2 .                Exercise .

 

a)              Exercise of Warrant .  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto (or such

 

1



 

other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company); provided , however , within 5 Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company and the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank, unless the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant Section 2(c).

 

b)             Exercise Price .  The exercise price of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $2.58, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).

 

c)              Cashless Exercise .  If at any time after one year from the date of issuance of this Warrant there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such         election;

 

(B) =  the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c), provided , however , that if the VWAP is less than the Exercise Price at such time this Warrant shall be deemed cancelled unless the Holder elects to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(b) on or prior to the Termination Date.

 

d)             Exercise Limitations .

 

i.               Holder’s Restrictions .  The Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2(c) or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the

 

2



 

remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Preferred Stock or Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by Holder that the Company is not representing to Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and 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(d)(i) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  For purposes of this Section 2(d)(i), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two 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 since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The provisions of this Section 2(d)(i) may be waived by the Holder, at the election of the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section 2(d)(i) shall continue to apply until such 61 st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver); provided, that upon any such waiver, the beneficial ownership limitation shall be 9.99%, which may not be waived by the Holder.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2(d)(i) shall not apply to any Holder who is an officer or director of the Company as of the Closing Date or as of the date exercise. In addition, if the Holder is an officer or director of the Company as of the date of this Warrant, the Holder may not exercise this Warrant

 

3



 

for shares of Common Stock unless and until the issuance of such shares is approved by the Company’s stockholders, to the extent required by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

ii.              Trading Market Restrictions .  If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company may not issue upon exercise of this Warrant in the aggregate, in excess of 19.999% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, less any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of or as payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock or upon prior exercise of this or any other Warrant issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (such number of shares, the “ Issuable Maximum ”).  If on any attempted exercise of this Warrant, the issuance of Warrant Shares would exceed the Issuable Maximum and the Company shall not have previously obtained the vote of shareholders (the “ Shareholder Approval ”), if any, as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor entity) to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Issuable Maximum pursuant to the terms hereof, then the Company shall issue to the Holder requesting a Warrant exercise such number of Warrant Shares as may be issued below the Issuable Maximum and, with respect to the remainder of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares, this Warrant shall not be exercisable until and unless Shareholder Approval has been obtained.

 

e)              Mechanics of Exercise .

 

i.               Authorization of Warrant Shares .  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

ii.              Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system if the Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within 3 Trading Days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (“ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company, unless the Holder requests a later date for exercise.  The

 

4



 

Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(e)(vii) prior to the issuance of such shares, have been paid.

 

iii.             Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of 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.

 

iv.             Rescission Rights .  If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 2(e)(iv) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

v.              Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise .  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing 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) 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 (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored 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 (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the

 

5



 

Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

vi.             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 Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay cash to the Holder in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

 

vii.            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 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.

 

viii.           Closing of Books .  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Section 3 .                Certain Adjustments .

 

a)              Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise make 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 pursuant to this Warrant or upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or any distribution made in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, including any Liquidation under Section 5 of the Certificate of Designations), (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issues by reclassification of shares of the

 

6



 

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.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)             Subsequent Equity Sales . If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall offer, sell, grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Exercise Price (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ” and such issuances collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), as adjusted hereunder (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which is issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, but the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be not be increased.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance.  The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this section, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or of applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”).  For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise.

 

c)              Pro Rata Distributions .  If the Company, at any time prior to the Termination Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of

 

7



 

the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

d)             Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification 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, in each case which does not otherwise constitute a Liquidation under Section 5 of the Certificate of Designations (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all cash transaction, cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing formula.  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.  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 exercise of this Warrant 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 issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which

 

8



 

a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3(d) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

e)              Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, 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 treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

f)              Notice to Holders .

 

i.               Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.              Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder . If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock; (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock (other than repurchases of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares upon the happening of certain events, such as termination); (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company; then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to

 

9



 

exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided , that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice.

 

Section 4 .                Transfer of Warrant .

 

a)              Transferability .  Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Sections 5(a) and 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  A Warrant, if properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b)             New Warrants . This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

 

c)              Warrant Register . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

d)             Transfer Restrictions . If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be

 

10



 

in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), or (a)(8) promulgated under the Securities Act or a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

 

Section 5 .                Miscellaneous .

 

a)              Title to Warrant .  Prior to the Termination Date and subject to compliance with applicable laws and Section 4 of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed.  The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

 

b)             No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise .  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.  Upon the surrender of this Warrant and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (or by means of a cashless exercise), the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the later of the date of such surrender or payment.

 

c)              Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant . The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

d)             Trading Day .  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a day other than a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

 

e)              Authorized Shares .

 

The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute

 

11



 

and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

f)              Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

g)             Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

h)             Nonwaiver and Expenses .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting

 

12

Warrant to Purchase

 

 

 

 

 

Shares

 

INTRUSION INC.

 

(Incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware)

 

REPRESENTATIVE’S WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF

 

COMMON STOCK
Warrant Price: $        per share, subject to adjustment as provided below.

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that, for value received,                               and his assigns (collectively, the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, up to                   shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Intrusion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and to receive certificate(s) for the Common Stock so purchased.

 

1.              Exercise Period and Vesting .  The exercise period is the period beginning on the date of this Warrant (the “Issuance Date”) and ending at 5:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, five years from the Issuance Date (the “Exercise Period”).  This Warrant is vested in full as of the Issuance Date and is immediately exercisable by Holder.  This Warrant will terminate automatically and immediately upon the expiration of the Exercise Period.

 

2.              Exercise of Warrant; Cashless Exercise .  This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the Exercise Period.  Such exercise shall be accomplished by tender to the Company of the purchase price set forth above as the warrant price (the “Warrant Price”), either (a) in cash, by wire transfer or by certified check or bank cashier’s check, payable to the order of the Company, or (b) by surrendering such number of shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of this Warrant with a current market price equal to the Warrant Price (a “Cashless Exercise”), together with presentation and surrender to the Company of

 



 

this Warrant with an executed subscription in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Subscription”). Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, deliver to the Holder, as promptly as possible, a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or its transferee (as permitted under Section 3 below).  With respect to any exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder on the date this Warrant, a properly executed Subscription and payment of the Warrant Price is received by the Company (the “Exercise Date”), irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificate evidencing such shares, except that, if the date of such receipt is a date on which the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person will be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.  Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional shares that would have been issued but for the immediately preceding sentence, the Holder will be entitled to receive cash equal to the current market price of such fraction of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Exercise Date.  In the event this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue a new Warrant to the Holder covering the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant remains exercisable for.

 

If the Holder elects to conduct a Cashless Exercise, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)
                A

 

Where:

 

X

=

the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder;

 

 

 

Y

=

the portion of the Warrant (in number of shares of Common Stock) being exercised by Holder (at the date of such

 

 

calculation);

 

 

 

A

=

the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date (as calculated below); and

 

 

 

B

=

Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

For purposes of the foregoing calculation, “fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date” shall mean:  (i) if the principal trading market for such securities is a national or regional securities exchange, the closing price on such exchange for day immediately prior to such Exercise Date; (ii) if sales prices for shares of Common Stock are reported by the Nasdaq National Market System or Nasdaq Small Cap Market (or a similar system then in use), the last reported sales price for the day immediately prior to such Exercise Date; or (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) above are applicable, and if bid and ask prices for shares of Common Stock are reported in the over-the-counter market by Nasdaq (or, if not so reported, by the National Quotation Bureau), the average of the high bid and low ask prices so reported for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to such

 

2



 

Exercise Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is no reported closing price, last reported sales price, or bid and ask prices, as the case may be, for the period in question, then the current market price shall be determined as of the latest ten (10) day period prior to such day for which such closing price, last reported sales price, or bid and ask prices, as the case may be, are available, unless such securities have not been traded on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market for 30 or more days immediately prior to the day in question, in which case the current market price shall be determined in good faith by, and reflected in a formal resolution of, the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that this Warrant was issued on the Issuance Date.

 

3.              Transferability and Exchange .

 

(a)            This Warrant, and the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof, may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless the Company shall have been provided with an opinion of counsel, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it, that such transfer is not in violation of the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws.  Subject to the satisfaction of the aforesaid condition, this Warrant and the underlying shares of Common Stock shall be transferable from time to time by the Holder upon written notice to the Company.  If this Warrant is transferred, in whole or in part, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, deliver to each transferee a Warrant evidencing the rights of such transferee to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that such transferee is entitled to purchase pursuant to such transfer.  The Company may place a legend similar to the legend at the top of this Warrant on any replacement Warrant and on each certificate representing shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or any replacement Warrants.  Only a registered Holder may enforce the provisions of this Warrant against the Company.  A transferee of the original registered Holder becomes a registered Holder only upon delivery to the Company of the original Warrant and an original Assignment, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.

 

(b)            This Warrant is exchangeable upon its surrender by the Holder to the Company for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares purchasable hereunder, each of such new Warrants to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as may be designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

4.              Adjustments to Warrant Price and Number of Shares Subject to Warrant .  The Warrant Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 4.  For the purpose of this Section 4, “Common Stock” means shares now or hereafter authorized of any class of common stock of the Company and any other stock of the Company, however designated, that has the right to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Company without limit as to per share amount (excluding, and subject to any prior rights of, any class or series of preferred stock).

 

(a)            In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock or other securities, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock other securities of the Company, then the Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or on

 

3



 

the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and/or the number and kind of securities issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or such other securities other than Common Stock) of the Company, at the same aggregate Warrant Price, that, if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such date, the Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, no adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Warrant Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (b) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

 

(c)            In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in this Section 4, and the other provisions of this Warrant shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

 

(d)            If the Company merges or consolidates into or with another corporation or entity, or if another corporation or entity merges into or with the Company (excluding such a merger in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange, or cancellation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or if all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company are sold or transferred to another corporation, entity, or person, then, as a condition to such consolidation, merger, or sale (a “Transaction”), lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall have the right from and after the Transaction to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock that would have been issuable if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before the Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, or assets as the Holder would have owned immediately after the Transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately before the effective date of the Transaction; provided, however, that if so required by the acquiror in connection with any Transaction, this Warrant shall be deemed exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, or if the Warrant Price is greater than the consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Transaction, shall be deemed cancelled, in each case immediately prior to the consummation of such Transaction.

 

5.              Registration Rights .  The Company hereby grants to Holder, with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant, registration rights identical to those that are granted to Purchasers in the Placement (as such terms are defined in that certain Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of November       , 2005, by and between the Company and Stonegate Securities, Inc.; it being specifically agreed and understood that the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant will be included in any registration statement filed by the Company which

 

4



 

includes shares of Common Stock, or shares of Common Stock underlying any securities, issued to Purchasers in the Placement); provided that the investors party thereto agree to include such shares in such registration pursuant to any agreement governing such registration rights and the Holder agrees to become a party to any such agreement.

 

6.              Reservation of Shares .  The Company agrees at all times to reserve and hold available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full exercise of this Warrant.  The Company further covenants and agrees that all shares of Common Stock that may be delivered upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon delivery, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the purchase thereof hereunder.

 

7.              Notices to Holder .  Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Price (or number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) pursuant to Section 4, the Company shall promptly thereafter cause to be given to the Holder written notice of such adjustment.  Such notice shall include the Warrant Price (and/or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) after such adjustment, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the Company’s method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations were based.  Where appropriate, such notice shall be given in advance and included as a part of any notice required to be given under the other provisions of this Section 7.

 

In the event of (a) any fixing by the Company of a record date with respect to the holders of any class of securities of the Company for the purpose of determining which of such holders are entitled to dividends or other distributions, or any rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, (b) any capital reorganization of the Company, or reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company to, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, any other entity or person, or (c) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution or winding up of the Company, then and in each such event the Company will give the Holder a written notice specifying, as the case may be (i) the record date for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, or right; or (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up is to take place and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such capital stock or securities receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such event.  Any such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the earliest date therein specified.

 

8.              No Rights as a Stockholder .  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company, nor to any other rights whatsoever except the rights herein set forth.

 

9.              Additional Covenants of the Company .  For so long as the Common Stock is listed for trading on any regional or national securities exchange or Nasdaq (National Market or Small Cap System), the Company shall, upon issuance of any shares for which this Warrant is exercisable, at its expense, promptly obtain and maintain the listing of such shares.  The Company shall also comply

 

5



 

with the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act for so long as and to the extent that such requirements apply to the Company.

 

The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of capital stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, and (b) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable stock.

 

10.            Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holder and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

11.            Notices .  The Company agrees to maintain a ledger of the ownership of this Warrant (the “Ledger”).  Any notice hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail if to the Company, at its principal executive office and, if to the Holder, to its address shown in the Ledger of the Company; provided, however, that the Holder may at any time on three (3) days written notice to the Company designate or substitute another address where notice is to be given.  Notice shall be deemed given and received after a certified or registered letter, properly addressed with postage prepaid, is deposited in the U.S. mail.

 

12.            Severability .  Every provision of this Warrant is intended to be severable. If any term or provision hereof is illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remainder of this Warrant.

 

13.            Governing Law .  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to the principles of choice of laws thereof.

 

14.            Attorneys’ Fees .  In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to its costs and expenses and any other available remedy.

 

15.            Entire Agreement .  This Warrant (including the Exhibits attached hereto) constitutes the entire understanding between the Company and the Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the date first set forth above.

SUBSCRIPTION FORM

 

(To be Executed by the Holder to Exercise the Rights To Purchase Common Stock Evidenced by the Within Warrant)

 

The undersigned hereby irrevocably subscribes for                  shares (the “Stock”) of the Common Stock of Intrusion, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the attached Warrant (the “Warrant”), and hereby makes payment of $                 therefor by [tendering cash, wire transferring or delivering a certified check or bank cashier’s check, payable to the order of the Company] [surrendering                  shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of the Warrant, which shares have a current market price equal to such payment as required in Section 2 of the Warrant].  The undersigned requests that a certificate for the Stock be issued in the name of the undersigned and be delivered to the undersigned at the address stated below.  If the Stock is not all of the shares purchasable pursuant to the Warrant, the undersigned requests that a new Warrant of like tenor for the balance of the remaining shares purchasable thereunder be delivered to the undersigned at the address stated below.

I understand that because the Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act, I must hold such Stock indefinitely unless the Stock is subsequently registered and qualified under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration and qualification. I shall make no transfer or disposition of the Stock unless (a) such transfer or disposition can be made without registration under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from such registration and such qualification, or (b) a registration statement has been filed pursuant to the Securities Act and has been declared effective with respect to such disposition.  I agree that each certificate representing the Stock delivered to me shall bear substantially the same as set forth on the front page of the Warrant.

 

I agree that each certificate representing the Stock delivered to me shall bear substantially the same legend as set forth on the front page of the Warrant.

(b) If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files a Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a), the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or not subject to further review, or (iii) prior to its Effectiveness Date, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within ten Trading Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv) a Registration Statement filed or required to be filed hereunder is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date, or (v) after the

Effectiveness Date, a Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective, or the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities for more than an aggregate of 30 calendar days during any 12-month period (which need not be consecutive Trading Days) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “ Event ”, and for purposes of clause (i) or (iv) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such five Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such ten Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (v) the date on which such 30 calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “ Event Date ”), then in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, 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 (x) 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities then held by such Holder upon the occurrence of such Event Date and for the initial 30 day period following such Event Date and (y) 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities then held by such Holder for subsequent 30 day periods following such Event Date.  If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no liquidated damages or other penalty pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be payable by the Company (i) to any Holder who is an officer or director of the Company at the time such payment is due; or (ii) with respect to the Registrable Securities described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof.

(d)            Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (ii) through (vi) of Section 3(c) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus.  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 shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(b), for a period not to exceed 60 days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12 month period (each a “ Blackout Period ”) .

to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d).  The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware.

 

(b)  Indemnification by Holders . Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)  Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such

 

9



 

Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding (which, if the Company is the Indemnifying Party, shall be deemed to include Company Counsel); or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  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 not entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the parties.

 

(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

 

10



 

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 reasonable 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.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud by such Holder.

 

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.

 

6. Miscellaneous

 

(a)        Remedies .  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their 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, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  The Company and each Holder agree 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 waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b)        No Piggyback on Registrations . Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b)  attached hereto, 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 the Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities.  The Company shall not file any other registration statements (other than registration statements on Form S-4 or S-8) until the initial Registration Statement required hereunder is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 6(b) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements already filed.

(f)         Amendments and Waivers .

Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

 

(i)         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 for the Company’s obligations under that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 25, 2004, by and among the Company and the persons listed on Exhibit A thereto, and that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 28, 2005, by and among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto, 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.

ANNEX A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

Each Selling Stockholder (the “ Selling Stockholders ”) of the common stock (“ Common Stock ”) of Intrusion Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on the Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

      ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

      block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares 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 entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

      broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

      a combination of any such methods of sale;

 

      through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

 

      any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, 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

 

17



 

commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares 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 shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Each Selling Stockholder 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 Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  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.  Each Selling Stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares.  There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale shares 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 shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or

 

18



 

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 shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling Stockholders 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 shares of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders 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.

OTHER 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 who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement 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 shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

(b)                                  The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

[NEITHER] THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAVE 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 COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES 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 who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement 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

 

22



 

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 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 security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), 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 Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any shares of Preferred Stock or any portion of a Warrant is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144(k) or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations thereof) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third 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 any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.  If requested by the applicable Purchaser, certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System.

 

(d)                                  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, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Company’s transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to this Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is

 

23



 

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 that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s and the Company’s counsel’s reliance that the 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.  The Company’s counsel, from time to time, is expressly authorized to rely upon this covenant of Section 4.1(e).

4.3                                  Furnishing of Information .  As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants 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.  As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, 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, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to disclose to such Person any material non-public information regarding the Company.

 

4.4                                  Integration .  The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would

 

24



 

be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

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 any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.

 

(c)                                   Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.

 

4.15                            Equal Treatment of Purchasers .  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the 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 to treat for the Company 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.  Further, the rights of Eligible Purchasers under Section 4.13 or a waiver of the terms thereof shall not be deemed to be unequal treatment of any non-Eligible Purchasers

 

4.16                            Short Sales and Confidentiality .  Each Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period after the Discussion Time until prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6.  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 as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain, the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).  Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement with the Securities is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6.  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.

32

5.11                            Execution .  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, 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 signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12                            Severability .  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

 

5.13                            Rescission and Withdrawal Right .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Documents and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided , however , in the case of a rescission of a conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of a Warrant, the Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice.

33



 

5.16                            Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

5.17                            Usury .  To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “ Maximum Rate ”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

 

5.18                            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 of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any 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

 

34



 

reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through FW.  FW does not represent any of the Purchasers but only Stonegate Securities, Inc., who has acted as placement agent to the transaction.  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 the Purchasers.

 

5.19                            Liquidated Damages .  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.20                            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 hereto.

PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT

 

This Placement Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 2, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Intrusion Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Stonegate Securities, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Stonegate”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Stonegate as its non-exclusive placement agent, and Stonegate is willing to act in such capacity, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and Stonegate (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:

 

1.              RETENTION OF STONEGATE; SCOPE OF SERVICES.

 

(a)            Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby retains Stonegate to act as the non-exclusive placement agent to the Company during the Contract Period (as defined in Section 2 below), and Stonegate hereby agrees to be so retained.

 

(b)            As the non-exclusive placement agent to the Company, Stonegate will have the non-exclusive right during the Contract Period to identify for the Company prospective accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (such accredited investors being collectively, the “Purchasers” and each, individually, a “Purchaser”), in one or more placement (each, a “Placement” and collectively, the “Placements”) of equity securities to be issued by the Company, the type and dollar amount being as mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Securities”).

 

(c)            Terms of the Placements shall be as set forth in subscription documents, including any stock purchase or subscription agreement, escrow agreement, registration rights agreement, warrant agreement and/or other documents to be executed and delivered in connection with each Placement (collectively, the “Subscription Documents”).  The Placements are intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation D (“Regulation D”) of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(d)            Stonegate will act on a best efforts basis and will have no obligation to purchase any of the Securities offered in any Placement. During the Contract Period, Stonegate shall have the non-exclusive right to arrange for all sales of Securities in the Placements, including without limitation the non-exclusive right to identify potential buyers for the Securities.  All Purchasers and sales of Securities in the Placements

 

1



 

shall be subject to the approval of the Company, which approval may be withheld, in whole or in part, in the Company’s sole discretion.

 

2.              CONTRACT PERIOD AND TERMINATION.

 

(a)            Stonegate shall act as the Company’s non-exclusive placement agent under this Agreement for a period commencing on the Effective Date, and continuing until terminated by either Party upon 10 days notice to the other Party (the “Contract Period”).

 

(b)            Upon termination, neither party will have any further obligation under this Agreement, except as provided in Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 hereof.

 

3.              REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

 

The company represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.  This Agreement is enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable laws governing bankruptcy, insolvency and creditors’ rights generally.  The Agreement does not conflict with, violate, cause a default, right of termination, or acceleration (whether through the passage of time or otherwise) under any contract, agreement, or understanding binding upon the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

 

4.              COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

 

The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a)            Neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company (as defined in Rule 501(b) of the Securities Act) will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) of the Company which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Securities.

 

(b)            Any and all filings and documents required to be filed in connection with or as a result of the Placements pursuant to federal and state securities laws are the responsibility of the Company and will be filed by the Company, other than NASD or other regulatory filings required to be made by Stonegate or a particular Purchaser, which shall be the sole obligation of Stonegate or such Purchaser, as applicable.

 

(c)            Any press release to be issued by the Company announcing or referring to any Placement shall, at the request of Stonegate, identify Stonegate as the placement agent.  Subject to prior review of the Company, Stonegate shall be permitted to publish a tombstone or similar advertisement upon completion of each Placement identifying itself as the Company’s placement agent with respect thereto; provided, that each such advertisement does not constitute a general solicitation under federal securities laws and otherwise complies with the requirements of the Securities Act.  This Agreement shall not be filed publicly by the Company without the prior written consent of Stonegate, unless required by applicable law or regulation.

5.              FURNISHING OF COMPANY INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

(a)            In connection with Stonegate’s activities hereunder on the Company’s behalf, the Company shall furnish Stonegate with all reasonable information concerning the Company and its operations that Stonegate deems necessary or appropriate (the “Company Information”) and shall provide Stonegate with reasonable access to the Company’s books, records, officers, directors, employees, accountants and counsel.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that, in rendering its services hereunder, Stonegate will be using and relying upon the Company Information without independent verification thereof or independent appraisal of any of the Company’s assets and may, in its sole discretion, use additional information contained in public reports or other information furnished by the Company or third parties.

 

(b)            Stonegate agrees that the Company Information will be used solely for the purpose of performing its services hereunder.  Subject to the limitations set forth in subsection (c) below, Stonegate will keep the Company Information provided hereunder confidential and will not disclose such Company Information or any portion thereof, except (i) to a third party contacted by Stonegate on behalf of, and with the prior approval of, the Company pursuant hereto who has agreed to be bound by a confidentiality agreement satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, or (ii) to any other person for which the Company’s consent to disclose such Company Information has been obtained.  Further, Stonegate acknowledges that certain Confidential Information may constitute material non-public information (as defined in Regulation FD) and agrees to, and to cause its officer, directors, employees and affiliates to, refrain from trading in the Company’s common stock until such information is made publicly available by the Company.

 

(c)            Stonegate’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement shall not apply to any portion of the Company Information which (i) at the time of disclosure to Stonegate or thereafter is generally available to and known by the public (other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by Stonegate in violation of this Agreement); (ii) was available to Stonegate on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, provided that such source is not and was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company; (iii) has been independently acquired or developed by Stonegate without violating any of its obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) the disclosure of which is legally compelled (whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil or administrative investigative demand or other similar process).  In the event that Stonegate becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the Company Information, Stonegate shall provide the Company with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d)            The obligations of the Parties under this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for 12 months.

6.              FEES AND EXPENSES.

 

(a)            As compensation for services rendered by Stonegate in connection with the Placements, the Company agrees to pay Stonegate a fee (the “Agency Fee”) of: (i) six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds from the sale of Securities in the Placements (on a cumulative basis) to Purchasers other than officers, directors, employees or affiliates of the Company or their respective affiliates or any individuals who participate in the Placement as a result of an introduction from any such person (such Purchasers, being “Qualified Purchasers”).  The Agency Fee shall be paid immediately upon the closing of each sale of Securities by the Company.

 

(b)            Upon execution of this Agreement by the Parties, the Company shall deliver to Stonegate $5,000 as a non-accountable and non-refundable expense allowance to compensate Stonegate for its initial diligence efforts, which such amount shall be credited against any amounts payable to Stonegate pursuant to Section 6(a).

 

(c)            The Company shall also promptly reimburse Stonegate for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Stonegate and its directors, officers and employees in connection with the performance of Stonegate’s services under this Agreement.  For these purposes, “out-of-pocket expenses” shall include, but not be limited to long distance telephone, facsimile, courier, mail, supplies, travel and similar expenses; provided, however, that no director, officer or employee of Stonegate shall undertake any travel for or on behalf of the Company without the prior authorization of the Company.

 

(d)            Upon closing of the Placement and execution and delivery of evidence of its status as an accredited investor in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and its counsel, the Company agrees to issue to Stonegate a Securities Purchase Warrant (the “Representative’s Warrant”) entitling the holder(s) thereof to purchase an amount of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to six percent (6%) of the gross proceeds received in the Placement from Qualified Purchasers at an exercise price equal to the per share exercise price of the underlying the warrants received by the Qualified Purchasers relative to their investment in the Placement (or if no such warrants are issued, the conversion price of any convertible securities or the per share purchase price of any common stock, as applicable) issued in the Placement).  The Representative’s Warrant shall be exercisable for a period of five (5) years at an exercise price per share equal to the price at which the Securities are sold to Purchasers.  The Representative’s Warrant shall otherwise be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

 

(e)            The obligations of the Parties under this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

7.              INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a)            The Company agrees to indemnify and hold Stonegate harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, including securityholder actions, in respect thereof) related to or arising out of Stonegate’s engagement hereunder or its role in connection herewith, and will reimburse Stonegate for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable costs, expenses, awards and counsel fees

 

4



 

and/or judgments) as they are incurred by Stonegate in connection with investigating, preparing for or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which Stonegate is a party.  The Company will not, however, be responsible for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses which are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct , or reckless disregard of its obligations or duties of or by Stonegate or any of its officers, directors or employees (collectively, “Excluded Claims”).  The Company also agrees that Stonegate shall not have any liability to the Company for or in connection with such engagement, except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company that result primarily from an Excluded Claim .  In the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable (except by reason of an Excluded Claim), then the Company shall contribute to amounts paid or payable by Stonegate in respect of its losses, claims, damages and liabilities in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits received by, and fault of, the Company and Stonegate in connection with the matters as to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities relate, and other equitable considerations.  The foregoing shall be in addition to any rights that Stonegate may have at common law or otherwise and shall extend upon the same terms to and inure to the benefit of any director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person of Stonegate.  The Company hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any claim which is subject to this agreement is brought against Stonegate or any other person entitled to indemnification or contribution under this subsection (a).

 

(b)            Stonegate agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, including securityholder actions, in respect thereof) which are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Stonegate, and will reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable costs, expenses, awards and counsel fees and/or judgments) as they are incurred by the Company in connection with investigating, preparing for or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which the Company is a party.  In the event that the foregoing indemnity is unavailable, then Stonegate shall contribute to amounts paid or payable by the Company in respect of its losses, claims, damages and liabilities in such proportion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits received by, and fault of, the Company and Stonegate in connection with the matters as to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities relate, and other equitable considerations.  The foregoing shall be in addition to any rights that the Company may have at common law or otherwise and shall extend upon the same terms to and inure to the benefit of any director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person of the Company.  Stonegate hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any claim, which is subject to this agreement, is brought against the Company or any other person entitled to indemnification or contribution under this subsection (b).

 

(c)            The obligations of the Parties under this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.              NON-CIRCUMVENTION.
