Item 1.01.        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 3.02.        Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On January 20, 2012, Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”) issued an aggregate of 172.118 units (“Units”) to certain investors (the “Purchasers”) for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,377,950 and the exchange of $1,925,000 in previously issued secured convertible debentures (the “Prior Debentures”) of the Company that were converted into Units (the “Financing”).

 

Each Unit had a purchase price of $25,000 per Unit and consisted of Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), a Class A Warrant to purchase Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Class A Warrants”), and a Class B Warrant to purchase up to Twenty Five Thousand (25,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Class B Warrants” and together with the Class A Warrants, the “Warrants”).

 

The Class A Warrants have an exercise price of $1.25 per share of Common Stock and will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Class B Warrants may not be exercised by the Purchasers and will be exercised automatically on their expiration date by cashless exercise or expire without exercise. In the event that the average of the Company’s daily volume weighted average price is below $0.75 during the 10 trading days after the Announcement Date (as hereinafter defined) (the “Measuring Period”), then the holder will be entitled to receive additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon the exercise of the Class B Warrants on the expiration date, which is the 12 th trading day after the Announcement Date. In the event that the average of the Company’s daily volume weighted average price is at or above $0.75 during the Measuring Period, the Class B Warrants will expire unexercised. The Announcement Date is the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company announces via press release the results of the pharmacokinetic study of its TNX-102 drug formulation; or (2) June 1, 2012.

 

The number of shares issuable upon the cashless exercise of the Class B Warrant is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) [((C-A) *D)/ A]] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = the average of the Company’s daily volume weighted average price during the Measuring Period;
  (B) = $0.01, which is the exercise price of the Class B Warrant;
  (C) = $1.00, which is the purchase price of the Class B Warrant; and
  (D) = the number of Shares purchased by the Class B Warrant holder.

 

However, for purposes of this calculation, in no event shall the average of the Company’s daily volume weighted average price be less than $0.50. For example, in the event that an investor purchases one Unit and the average of the Company’s daily volume weighted average price is $0.50, then the Class B Warrant will be exercised and the holder will receive 24,500 shares of Common Stock.

 

In connection with the Financing, the Company paid a FINRA registered broker-dealer (the “Agent”) a cash payment of $235,295, which represented an 8% commission and a 2% non-accountable expense allowance of the gross proceeds delivered by Purchasers introduced by the Agent in the Financing. In addition, the Agent earned warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the gross proceeds delivered by Purchasers introduced by the Agent in the Financing (the “Agent Warrants”), which have an exercise price of $1.25 per share of Common Stock, will be exercisable for a period of seven years, contain customary anti-dilution protection and are entitled to piggy-back registration rights.

Pursuant to the Warrants, no Purchaser may exercise such Purchaser’s Warrant if such exercise would result in the Purchaser beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common stock. A Purchaser may, however, increase or decrease this limitation (but in no event exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding) by providing the Company with 61 days’ notice that such holder wishes to increase or decrease this limitation.

 

In connection with the Financing, the Company granted each Purchaser registration rights.  The Company is obligated to use its best efforts to cause a registration statement registering for resale the Common Stock included in the Units and the Common Stock underlying the Warrants and the Agent Warrants to be filed no later than 60 days from the date of termination of the Financing and must be declared effective no later than 120 days from the date of termination of the Financing.  Moreover, the Company will maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement from its effective date unless all securities registered under the registration statement have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  If we fail to comply with the registration statement filing or effective date requirements, we are required to pay the investors a fee equal to 1.0% of the Purchaser’s investment, for each 30-day period of delay, subject to a maximum payment of 10% to each Purchaser.  

 

In connection with the Financing, the Prior Debentures were either exchanged for Units or redeemed. Pursuant to the terms of the Prior Debentures, the holders of the Prior Debentures were entitled to receive either (i) a warrant (the “Conversion Warrant”) to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of the Prior Debenture or (ii) shares of Common Stock equal to 33% of the principal amount of the Prior Debenture (the “Incentive Shares”). On January 20, 2012, the Company issued 275,000 Conversion Warrants and 594,000 Incentive Shares.

 

As of January 20, 2012, upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock described herein, the Company has 31,963,617 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

The Units sold in the private placement were not registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The investors are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.   This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall such securities be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such securities contain a legend stating the same.

EXHIBIT 10.01

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT made as of this ___ day of ____________, 201_, between Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), and the undersigned (the “ Subscriber ”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated November 16, 2011 (the “ PPM ”), the Company is offering in a private placement (the “ Offering ”) to accredited investors a minimum of 160 Units (the “ Minimum Offering ”) and a maximum of 400 Units (the “ Maximum Offering ”), plus up to an additional 80 Units to cover over-allotments, at a purchase price of $25,000 per Unit, with each Unit (the “ Units ”) consisting of 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), one five-year detachable Class A warrant (the “ Class A Warrant ”) to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.25 per share and one non-detachable Class B warrant (the “ Class B Warrant ”) to purchase up to 25,000 shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the Class A Warrant and Class B Warrant are collectively referred to as the “ Warrants ”); and

WHEREAS , the holders of the Debentures (as hereinafter defined) are entitled to exchange their Debentures for Units in this Offering (the “ Exchanged Debentures ”). The Exchanged Debentures will count towards the Minimum and Maximum Offering. In October and November 2011, the Company issued secured convertible debentures (the “ Debentures ”) in the principal face amount of $2,075,000 for aggregate cash proceeds of $1,575,000 and the exchange of $500,000 in previously issued promissory notes of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, to accredited investors in private placement transactions pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and to non-U.S. Persons pursuant to Regulation S; and

WHEREAS , the Subscriber desires to subscribe for the number of Units set forth on the signature page hereof, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE , for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

  I. SUBSCRIPTION FOR AND REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF SUBSCRIBER

 

1.1          Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of Units set forth upon the signature page hereof, at a price equal to $25,000 per Unit, and the Company agrees to sell such to the Subscriber for said purchase price, subject to the Company’s right to sell to the Subscriber such lesser number of (or no) Units as the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The purchase price is payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to the wire instructions attached as Exhibit G to the PPM or by check payable to Signature Bank, as escrow agent for Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (or for holders of the Debentures, by delivering the original Debenture to counsel to the Company). 

 
 

 

1.2          The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Units involves a high degree of risk in that (i) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Units; (ii) the Units are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), or any state securities law; (iii) there is no trading market for the Units, none is likely ever to develop, and the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate his, her or its investment; (iv) transferability of the Units is extremely limited; and (v) an investor could suffer the loss of his, her or its entire investment.

1.3          The Subscriber is an “accredited investor,” as such term in defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act, and the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Units.

1.4          The Subscriber has prior investment experience (including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities), and has read and evaluated, or has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to read and evaluate, all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the Units, including the PPM, as well as the merits and risks of such an investment by the Subscriber. The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and the Subscriber’s investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The Subscriber, if an individual, has adequate means of providing for his or her current needs and personal and family contingencies and has no need for liquidity in his or her investment in the Units. The Subscriber is financially able to bear the economic risk of this investment, including the ability to afford holding the Units for an indefinite period or a complete loss of this investment.

1.5          The Subscriber acknowledges receipt and careful review of the PPM, all supplements to the PPM, and all other documents furnished in connection with this transaction by the Company, including but not limited to the exhibits to the PPM (collectively, the “ Offering Documents ”), and has been furnished by the Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Company which the Subscriber has requested or desires to know; and the Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and any additional information which the Subscriber has requested. The Subscriber has not relied on any statements made or information provided by any placement agent retained by the Company in connection with this Offering.

1.6          The Subscriber acknowledges that the purchase of the Units may involve tax consequences to the Subscriber and that the contents of the Offering Documents do not contain tax advice. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber must retain his, her or its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences to the Subscriber of an investment in the Units. The Subscriber acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the Subscriber to determine the appropriateness and the merits of a corporate entity to own the Subscriber’s Units and the corporate structure of such entity.

2
 

 

 

1.7          The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) or any state securities commission, and that no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination regarding the fairness or merits of the Offering. The Subscriber represents that the Units are being purchased for his, her or its own account, for investment only, and not with a view toward distribution or resale to others. The Subscriber agrees that he, she or it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Units unless they are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

1.8          Except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the PPM), the Subscriber understands that they will not be able to resell the Units, the Common Stock, the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) until all of the conditions under Rule 144 have been satisfied however there can be no assurance that the conditions necessary to permit such sales under Rule 144 will ever be satisfied. The Subscriber understands that the Company is under no obligation to comply with the conditions of Rule 144 or take any other action necessary in order to make available any exemption from registration for the sale of the Units or the Common Stock and Warrants comprising the Units or the Warrant Shares.

1.9          The Subscriber understands that the Units have not been registered under the Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Act which depends, in part, upon his, her or its investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber understands that it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if his, her or its representation merely meant that his, her or its present intention was to hold such securities for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming that a market develops, or for any other fixed period. The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with his, her or its representation to the Company and the SEC might regard such a sale or disposition as a deferred sale, for which such exemption is not available.

1.10        The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Common Stock or the Warrants stating that such securities have not been registered under the Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.

1.11        The Subscriber understands that the Company will review and rely on this Subscription Agreement without making any independent investigation; and it is agreed that the Company reserves the unrestricted right to reject or limit any subscription and to withdraw the Offering at any time.

1.12        The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished at the end of this Subscription Agreement is the undersigned’s principal residence, if the Subscriber is an individual, or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.

1.13        The Subscriber acknowledges that if the Subscriber is a Registered Representative of a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“ FINRA ”) member firm, the Subscriber must give such firm the notice required by the FINRA’s Conduct Rules, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof.

 

3
 

 

1.14        The Subscriber understands that, pursuant to the terms of the Offering as set forth in the PPM, the Company must receive subscriptions for 160 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 in order to close on the sale of any Units (and that the exchange of Debentures will count towards such Minimum Offering) and that persons affiliated with the Company or its consultants, advisors, or placement agents may subscribe for Units, in which case the Company may accept subscriptions from such affiliated parties in order to reach the Minimum Offering; and that, accordingly, no investor should conclude that achieving the Minimum Offering is the result of any independent assessment of the merits or advantages of the Offering or the Company made by Subscribers in the Minimum Offering.

1.15        The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as expressly set forth in the Offering Documents, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company and, in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than that contained in the Offering Documents and the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.

1.16        The Subscriber hereby represents that all information provided by the Subscriber in the Investor Questionnaire attached as Exhibit E to the PPM is true and accurate in all respects, and the Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will be relying on such information to its possible detriment in deciding whether the Company can sell these securities to the Subscriber without giving rise to the loss of the exemption from registration under applicable securities laws.

1.17        The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that once the Minimum Offering amount is received by the Company, no further approval will be required for the Company to consummate a closing.

1.18        The Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale of the Units by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship and (ii) no Units were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

1.19        Each Subscriber who is exchanging Debentures in this Offering represents and warrants to the Company, with the intent that the Company will rely thereon in accepting this Subscription, that Subscriber owns and holds, beneficially and of record, the entire right, title, and interest in and to the Debentures (including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid interest thereon) set forth on the Signature Page attached hereto, free and clear of all rights and Encumbrances (as defined below).  Subscriber has full power and authority to transfer and dispose of the Debenture (including, without limitation, accrued and unpaid interest thereon) set forth on the Signature Page attached hereto, free and clear of any right or Encumbrance other than restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.  Other than the transactions contemplated by this Subscription, there is no outstanding vote, plan, pending proposal, or other right of any person to acquire all or any of the Debenture set forth on the Signature Page attached hereto. “Encumbrances” shall mean any security or other property interest or right, claim, lien, pledge, option, charge, security interest, contingent or conditional sale, or other title claim or retention agreement, interest or other right or claim of third parties, whether perfected or not perfected, voluntarily incurred or arising by operation of law, and including any agreement (other than this Subscription) to grant or submit to any of the foregoing in the future.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.1 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined below). 

6
 

 

3.2          For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “ Common Stock Equivalents ” means any securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock and (ii) “ Exempt Issuance ” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company in compliance with Section 3.3 below and pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of such securities; and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a person which is either an owner of, or an entity that is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

3.3          Absent a prior determination by a majority of the non-employee directors of the Company that it is in the Company’s best interest or pursuant to any obligation in existence on the date of this Agreement (provided that such obligations have not been amended since the date of this Agreement) , for a period of 12 months following the closing of the Offering, the Company shall not (i) issue or grant more than an aggregate of 4,000,000 options, warrants or shares of common stock (subject to appropriate adjustments for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction) to any employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company or (ii) issue any options having an exercise price that is less than $1.00 per share (subject to appropriate adjustments for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction).

  IV. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION

 

4.1          Subject to Section 4.2 hereof, the subscription period will begin as of the date of the PPM and will terminate at 11:59 PM Eastern Time, on the earlier of the date on which the Maximum Offering is sold or the Offering is terminated by the Company (the “ Termination Date ”). The minimum subscription amount is $25,000, although the Company may, in its discretion, accept subscriptions for less than $25,000. 

7
 

4.2          The Subscriber shall effect a wire transfer in the full amount of the purchase price for the Units to the Company’s escrow account in accordance with the wire instructions attached as Exhibit G to the PPM or shall deliver a check in payment of the purchase price for the Units.

4.3          Pending the sale of the Units, all funds (or Debentures) paid hereunder shall be deposited by the Company in escrow with the Company’s escrow agent, which funds (or Debentures) shall be held and distributed pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit F to the PPM. If the Company shall not have obtained subscriptions (including this subscription) for the Minimum Offering on or before the Termination Date (as such date may be extended by the Company and Placement Agent), then this subscription shall be void and all funds (or Debentures) paid hereunder by the Subscriber shall be promptly returned without interest to the Subscriber, to the same account from which the funds were drawn (or address from which Debentures were received).

CLASS A WARRANT

 

NO. ______ TONIX PHARMAECUTICAL HOLDING CORP. ________ Shares

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

VOID AFTER 5:30 P.M., EASTERN

TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE

 

THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS THEREFROM.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TONIX PHARMACEUTICAL HOLDING CORP., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the conditions hereinafter set forth, but no later than 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined) to ________________ or registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), under the terms as hereinafter set forth, __________________ (_____________) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Warrant Stock ”), at a purchase price of $1.25 per share (the “ Warrant Price ”), pursuant to this warrant (this “ Warrant ”). The number of shares of Warrant Stock to be so issued and the Warrant Price are subject to adjustment in certain events as hereinafter set forth. The term “ Common Stock ” shall mean, when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, the stock and other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

1.             Exercise of Warrant .

 

a.           The Holder may exercise this Warrant according to its terms by surrendering this Warrant to the Company at the address set forth in Section 9, the Notice of Exercise attached hereto having then been duly executed by the Holder, accompanied by cash, certified check or bank draft in payment of the purchase price, in lawful money of the United States of America, for the number of shares of the Warrant Stock specified in the Notice of Exercise, or as otherwise provided in this Warrant, prior to 5:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on _________, 2017 (the “ Expiration Date ”).

 

 
 

 

b.           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if at any time after twelve (12) months from the date of issuance of this Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of all of the shares of Warrant Stock issuable hereunder, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part by means of a “cashless exercise” in lieu of making a cash payment, and the Holder shall then be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = VWAP (as defined below) on the business day immediately preceding the date of such election;
     
  (B) = the Warrant Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
     
  (X) = the number of shares of Warrant Stock 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.

 

For purposes of this Warrant, “ VWAP ” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market (as defined below), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. New York City time to 4:00 p.m. New York City time); (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board; (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the average bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported for the twenty (20) trading days prior to such date; or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors. For purposes of this Warrant, “ Trading Market ” means the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex, NASDAQ Capital Market, NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, or OTC Bulletin Board.

 

c.           This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional shares of Warrant Stock. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and the Secretary of the Company. The term Warrant as used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.

 

d.           No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractions with respect to the Warrants based upon the fair market value of such fractional shares of Common Stock (which shall be the closing price of such shares on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded) at the time of exercise of this Warrant.

 

2
 

 

e.           In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after such rights shall have been so exercised. The person or entity in whose name any certificate for the Warrant Stock is issued upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant.

 

2.             Disposition of Warrant Stock and Warrant .

 

a.           The Holder hereby acknowledges that this Warrant and any Warrant Stock purchased pursuant hereto are, as of the date hereof, not registered: (i) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering or (ii) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and that the Company’s reliance on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Stock for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same, subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control.

 

To the extent the Warrant or Warrant Stock has not been registered for resale pursuant to the Act, the Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell or transfer all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Stock unless and until it shall first have given notice to the Company describing such sale or transfer and furnished to the Company either (i) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (ii) an interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Act.

 

b.           If, at the time of issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, the Company may at its election require that the Holder provide the Company with written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent and that any stock certificate delivered to the Holder of a surrendered Warrant shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:

 

3
 

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.”

 

In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate delivered to the Holder, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.

 

3.             Reservation of Shares . The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and against payment of the exercise price, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and preemptive rights with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.

 

4.             Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant . This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.

 

4
 

 

5.             Capital Adjustments . This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:

 

a.            Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock . If and whenever on or after the date hereof and through the earlier to occur of (i) first anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) date that there is an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of all of the shares of Warrant Stock and all of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering (as defined in the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated November 17, 2011, as supplemented to date), the Company issues or sells any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, other than an Exempt Issuance (as defined below), for a consideration per share of Common Stock (the “ New Issuance Price ”) less than a price equal to $1.25 (subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction after the date hereof) (a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price . For purposes of this Warrant, “ Exempt Issuance ” shall mean the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Warrant, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Warrant to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of such securities; and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a person which is either an owner of, or an entity that is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

 

b.            Recapitalization, Reclassification and Succession . If any recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other corporation or business entity (any such corporation or other business entity being included within the meaning of the term “successor corporation”) shall be effected, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired, then, as a condition of such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder of this Warrant thereafter shall have the right to receive upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of capital stock, securities or other property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer not taken place, and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

 

c.            Subdivision or Combination of Shares . If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

5
 

 

d.            Stock Dividends and Distributions . If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, then (i) the Warrant Price shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 5(f) and (ii) the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would have owned immediately following such action had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto.

 

e.            Stock and Rights Offering to Stockholders . If the Company shall at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings or current year’s or prior year’s earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this paragraph called the “Securities”), then in each such case, the Company shall reserve shares or other units of such Securities for distribution to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant so that, in addition to the shares of the Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, such Holder will receive upon such exercise the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Securities, exercised this Warrant.

 

f.             Warrant Price Adjustment . Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Warrant Price payable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately thereafter.

 

g.            Certain Shares Excluded . The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 5 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the treasury of the Company.

 

h.            Deferral and Cumulation of De Minimis Adjustments . The Company shall not be required to make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event that would otherwise have given rise to such adjustment. In such case, however, any adjustment that would otherwise have been required to be made shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect immediately before the event giving rise to such next subsequent adjustment.

 

i.             Duration of Adjustment . Following each computation or readjustment as provided in this Section 5, the new adjusted Warrant Price and number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall remain in effect until a further computation or readjustment thereof is required.

 

6
 

 

6.             Reserved.

 

7.             Limitation on Exercises . The Company shall not affect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such 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 shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliate) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliate) 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 the determination. For purposes of this Warrant, 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 (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) business day 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 and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The restriction described in this Section 7 may be waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from the Holder to the Company to increase such percentage up to 9.99%, but not in excess of 9.99%. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

 

7
 

 

8.             Notice to Holders .

 

a.            Notice of Record Date . In case:

 

(i)          the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

 

(ii)         of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

 

(iii)        of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

 

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder hereof at the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken 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 such reorganization, reclassification, 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 stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date therein specified, or if no record date shall have been specified therein, at least thirty (30) days prior to such specified date, provided, however, failure to provide any such notice shall not affect the validity of such transaction.

 

b.            Certificate of Adjustment . Whenever any adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall promptly make a certificate signed by its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Warrant Price and number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of such certificates to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder of this Warrant.

 

8
 

 

9.             Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof, without expense to the Holder, a new Warrant of like tenor dated the date hereof.

The Warrant Price is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 of this Warrant. The term “ Common Stock ” shall mean, when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, the stock and other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(v)          Trading Day ” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Market (as defined below), provided that “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market.

 

(vi)         Trigger Date ” means the date that is eleven (11) Trading Days after the Announcement Date (but not including the Announcement Date).

 

(vii)        Unit Common Stock ” means the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Units acquired by the Holder from the Company in the Offering that have been continuously owned by the Holder since such acquisition and through the Trigger Date (as adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits or similar events); provided that the Holder shall be deemed to have continuously owned the Common Stock if the Common Stock has been transferred (1) to a beneficiary of the Holder pursuant to a will or other testamentary document or applicable laws of descent or (2) without consideration to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder.

 

(viii)       VWAP ” means the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market (as defined below), the average of the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) Trading Days after the Announcement Date (but not including the Announcement Date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading Day from 9:30 a.m. New York City time to 4:00 p.m. New York City time); (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the average bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported for the ten (10) Trading Days after the Announcement Date (but not including the Announcement Date); or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.

Notwithstanding the above, if any recapitalization of the Company or reclassification of its Common Stock or any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with a corporation or other business entity, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other corporation or business entity shall be effected (a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the VWAP shall be determined by reference to the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the date of the Fundamental Transaction.

 

(ix)          Warrant Share Number ” means the number determined in accordance with the following formula:

On the Expiration Date, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised this Warrant in whole by means of a “cashless exercise” in lieu of making a cash payment, and the Holder shall then be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = VWAP;
     
  (B) = the Warrant Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
     
  (X) = Warrant Share Number.

 

c.            No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractions with respect to the Warrants based upon the fair market value of such fractional shares of Common Stock (which shall be the closing price of such shares on the exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then traded) at the time of exercise of this Warrant.

 

d.            In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Stock so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after such rights shall have been so exercised. The person or entity in whose name any certificate for the Warrant Stock is issued upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant.

 

2.             Disposition of Warrant Stock and Warrant .

 

a.            The Holder hereby acknowledges that this Warrant and any Warrant Stock purchased pursuant hereto are, as of the date hereof, not registered: (i) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering or (ii) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and that the Company’s reliance on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire the Warrant Stock for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same, subject, nevertheless, to any requirement of law that the disposition of its property shall at all times be within its control.

 

3
 

 

This Warrant is transferable only in connection with the transfer of the Unit Common Stock. To the extent the Warrant Stock has not been registered for resale pursuant to the Act, the Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell or transfer all or any Warrant Stock unless and until it shall first have given notice to the Company describing such sale or transfer and furnished to the Company either (i) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed sale or transfer may be made without registration under the Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (ii) an interpretative letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Act.

 

b.            If, at the time of issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Act, the Company may at its election require that the Holder provide the Company with written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent and that any stock certificate delivered to the Holder of a surrendered Warrant shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:

 

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THIS CERTIFICATE THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.”

 

In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate delivered to the Holder, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.

 

3.             Reservation of Shares . The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of its Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and against payment of the exercise price, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and preemptive rights with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.

 

4
 

 

4.             Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant . This Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent, if any, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof.

 

5.             Capital Adjustments . This Warrant is subject to the following further provisions:

 

a.            Subdivision or Combination of Shares . If the Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its Common Stock, the Initial Purchase Price, VWAP and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

b.            Stock Dividends and Distributions . If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall issue or pay the holders of its Common Stock, or take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive, a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, then Initial Purchase Price, VWAP and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately adjusted.

 

c.            Stock and Rights Offering to Stockholders . If the Company shall at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant distribute to all holders of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings or current year’s or prior year’s earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this paragraph called the “Securities”), then in each such case, the Company shall reserve shares or other units of such Securities for distribution to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant so that, in addition to the shares of the Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, such Holder will receive upon such exercise the amount and kind of such Securities which such Holder would have received if the Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Securities, exercised this Warrant.

 

d.            Certain Shares Excluded . The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time for purposes of the adjustments set forth in this Section 5 shall exclude any shares then directly or indirectly held in the treasury of the Company.

 

e.            Duration of Adjustment . Following each computation or readjustment as provided in this Section 5, the new adjusted Initial Purchase Price, VWAP and Warrant Price shall remain in effect until a further computation or readjustment thereof is required.

 

5
 

 

6.           Limitation on Exercises . The Company shall not affect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such 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 shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliate) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliate) 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 the determination. For purposes of this Warrant, 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 (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) business day 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 and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The restriction described in this Section 6 may be waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from the Holder to the Company to increase such percentage up to 9.99%, but not in excess of 9.99%. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

 

6
 

 

7.             Noncircumvention . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any stock dividend, combination of shares, reverse or forward stock split, reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Price then in effect.

 

8.             Notice to Holders .

 

a.            Notice of Record Date . In case:

 

(i)           the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right;

 

(ii)          of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation, or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another corporation; or

 

(iii)         of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

 

then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder hereof at the time outstanding a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken 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 such reorganization, reclassification, 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 stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least thirty (30) days prior to the record date therein specified, or if no record date shall have been specified therein, at least thirty (30) days prior to such specified date, provided, however, failure to provide any such notice shall not affect the validity of such transaction.

 

b.            Certificate of Adjustment . Whenever any adjustment shall be made pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall promptly make a certificate signed by its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Warrant Price and number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall promptly cause copies of such certificates to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder of this Warrant.

10.           Warrant Holder Not a Stockholder . The Holder of this Warrant, as such, shall not be entitled by reason of this Warrant to any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company.

 

11.           Notices . Any notice required or contemplated by this Warrant shall be deemed to have been duly given if transmitted by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or nationally recognized overnight delivery service , to the Company at its principal executive offices located at 509 Madison Avenue, Suite 306, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Seth Lederman, or to the Holder at the name and address set forth in the Warrant Register maintained by the Company.

 

12.           Choice of Law . THIS WARRANT IS ISSUED UNDER AND SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

 

13.           Jurisdiction and Venue .

(c)          If any SEC Guidance, including but not limited to Rule 415, sets forth a limitation on the number of securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of securities), the number of securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by any securities on the Registration Statement that are not Registrable Securities (which includes securities that are entitled to piggyback registration rights granted by the Company) and second by Registrable Securities represented by Warrant Shares (applied, in the case that some Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Investors on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Investors).

(f)          If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, then the Company shall notify each Investor in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act, in connection with a public offering of shares of Common Stock (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company but excluding any registration statements (i) on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any successor or substantially similar form), or of any employee stock option, stock purchase or compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, or a dividend reinvestment plan, (ii) otherwise relating to any employee, benefit plan or corporate reorganization or other transactions covered by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii) on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities) and will afford each Investor an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such Investor. In the event an Investor desires to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Investor, the Investor shall within ten (10) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, including the number of such Registrable Securities such Investor wishes to include in such registration statement. If an Investor decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company such Investor shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to the offering of the securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

1.3           Obligations of the Company . Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(a)          Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and to keep such registration statement effective during the Effectiveness Period;

 

(b)          Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

 

(c)          Furnish to the Investors such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them (provided that the Company would not be required to print such prospectuses if readily available to Investors from any electronic service, such as on the EDGAR filing database maintained at www.sec.gov);

 

4
 

(d)          Use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities’ or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investors; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

 

(e)          In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering (each Investor participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement);

 

(f)          Promptly notify each Investor holding Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, within one business day, (i) of the effectiveness of such registration statement, or (ii) of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

 

(g)          Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereto to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and

 

(h)          Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

 

1.4           Furnish Information . It shall be a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Investor, the Registrable Securities held by such Investor, and the intended method of disposition of such securities in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B , or as otherwise reasonably required by the Company or the managing underwriters, if any, to effect the registration of such Investor’s Registrable Securities.

 

1.5           Delay of Registration . No Investor shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

 

5
 

1.6           Indemnification .

 

(a)          To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Investor and each person, if any, who controls such Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state securities law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a “ Violation ”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto (collectively, the “ Filings ”), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Filings a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 1.6(a) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Investor, underwriter or controlling person.

 

(b)          To the extent permitted by law, each Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any underwriter, any other Investor selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Investor, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state securities law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Investor will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 1.6(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided , however , that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided , however , in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.6(b) exceed the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided , however , that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.6, solely to the extent that the indemnifying party has been damaged thereby. The omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.6.

 

6
 

(d)          If the indemnification provided for in Sections 1.6(a) and (b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall any Investor be required to contribute an amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(e)          The obligations of the Company and Investors under this Section 1.6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

 

1.7           Reports Under Securities Exchange Act . With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission, including Rule 144, that may at any time permit an Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-1, the Company agrees to:

 

(a)          make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

1.8           Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights . The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be transferred or assigned, but only with all related obligations, by an Investor to a transferee or assignee who (a) acquires at least 25,000 Shares and Warrants to acquire at least 25,000 Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and combinations) from such transferring Investor, unless waived in writing by the Company, or (b) holds Registrable Securities immediately prior to such transfer or assignment; provided , that in the case of (a), (i) prior to such transfer or assignment, the Company is furnished with written notice stating the name and address of such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) such transfer or assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.

Annex A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

Each selling stockholder of the common stock 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 [NAME OF PRINCIPAL 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;
     
  · through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  · a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  · any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

 
 

In connection with the sale of the 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 of 1933, as amended, 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 of 1933, as amended. Each selling stockholder has informed us 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%).

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. 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 the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this 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 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  

 

TONIX PHARMACEUTICALS CLOSES $4.3 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

New York, NY – January 23, 2012 – Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (OTCBB:TNXP) (“TONIX” or the “Company”), a specialty pharmaceutical company developing therapies for challenging disorders of the central nervous system (“CNS”), including fibromyalgia syndrome (“FM”) and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), has received net proceeds of approximately $1.9 million in a private placement offering to institutional and accredited investors (the “Offering”). In addition, $1.9 million of previously issued convertible debentures converted into the Offering.

 

In connection with the closing, the Company issued approximately 172 units (the “Units”), each consisting of 25,000 shares of common stock, Class A warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock, and Class B warrants to receive up to 25,000 shares of common stock. The Class A warrants have an exercise price of $1.25 per share of the common stock and will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Class B warrants will be exercised automatically on their expiration date by cashless exercise, or expire without exercise. The maximum number of shares received related to the automatic exercise of the Class B warrants, if any, is one share per Class B warrant and will be determined by the stock price of the common stock prior to the termination date. The purchase price of each Unit was $25,000.

 

TONIX intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund its TNX-102 pharmacokinetic study and first pivotal trial, to fund development of its other product candidates, to repay debt, to pay interest, and for general working capital. The debt repaid was $150,000 of the previously issued debentures that did not convert into the Offering. The interest paid to all previously issued debenture holders was $44,417.

 

This press release shall not be deemed an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
