Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 15, 2016, Atrinsic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed the final closing (the “ Final Closing ”) of its previously announced private placement (the “ Offering ”) of equity securities.  At the Final Closing, the Company offered and sold an aggregate of 420,260 shares (“ Shares ”) of its Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.000001 per share (“ Series B Preferred Stock ”), at a price of $1.25 per Share, to accredited investors (as defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”)), for total gross proceeds of $525,325. Each investor entered into a Subscription Agreement (each, a “ Subscription Agreement ”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (each, a “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) with the Company in connection with each investor’s investment at the Final Closing.  

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of approximately $505,187.50 from the Final Closing for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

As was previously announced, on February 12, 2016, the Company completed the first closing of the Offering, at which 2,775,000 shares at a price of $1.25 per Share were sold to accredited investors for total gross proceeds of $3,468,750, which included the conversion of $500,000 of principal and accrued interest owed by the Company and Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. (“ Protagenic ”).  The first closing was conducted simultaneously with the completion of the Company’s merger (the “ Merger ”) with Protagenic.  On March 2, 2016 the Company completed the second closing of the Offering, at which the Company issued an additional 913,200 Shares to accredited investors, for total gross proceeds of $1,141,500.

 

The offer, sale and issuance to the investors of the Shares at the Final Closing have been made in reliance on the statutory exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

The Company paid Katalyst Securities LLC, its placement agent (the “ Placement Agent ”), and its selected dealers a cash commission of 10% of the funds raised from the investors participating in the Final Closing who were introduced by the Placement Agent or its selected dealers.  In addition, the Placement Agent and its selected dealers received warrants (the “ Placement Agent Warrants ”) to purchase a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to 10% of the Shares sold to investors at the Final Closing who were introduced by the Placement Agent or its selected dealers.  As a result of the foregoing arrangement, at the Final Closing, the Placement Agent and its selected dealers were paid commissions of $20,032.50, and the Placement Agent and its selected dealers were issued Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 17,391 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. The Placement Agent Warrants have registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement discussed below.

 

2  

 

 

For all three closings, the Company raised total gross proceeds of $4,635,575 and total net proceeds of $4,283,437.50 (or total gross proceeds of $5,135,575 and total net proceeds of $4,783,437.50, including the conversion of the $500,000 in principal and interest referred to above). The Company issued 4,108,460 Shares to investors in the Offering. The Placement Agent and its selected dealers were paid total cash commissions of $159,182.50 and the Placement Agent was paid an expense allowance of $15,000 and was issued (together with its selected dealers) Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 128,791 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.

 

The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors in the Offering.  Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock (the “ Registrable Securities ”) underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and that are issuable on exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants within 120 days from the Final Closing of the Offering, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective no later than 90 days after it is filed.

 

The Company agreed to use reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement through the one year anniversary of the date the registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), or for such shorter period ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the date as of which all of the Offering investors may sell all of their Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date when all of the Registrable Securities shall have been sold.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Registration Rights Agreement, Subscription Agreement and Placement Agent Warrants and the transactions contemplated therein and thereby, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, instruments and documents, which are filed herewith, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK OR COMMON STOCK

 

For the purchase price of $1.25 per share (the “Warrant Price”) the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, this Warrant is issued to ________ (the “Holder”) by ATRINSIC, INC. , a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

 

1.              Purchase of Shares .

 

(a)            Number of Shares . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company up to [—————] ([———————]) fully paid and nonassessable shares (the “Shares”) of (i) prior to the Reverse Stock Split (as defined in the Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Other Rights of Preferred Stock and Qualifications, Limitations and Restrictions for the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.000001 per share (the “Series B Shares”)) the Company’s Series B Shares and/or (ii) after the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s common stock, par value $0.000001 per share (the “Common Stock”).

 

(b)            Exercise Price . The exercise price for the Series B Shares and/or the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Section 1 (the “Shares”) shall be $1.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The Shares and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

 

 

 

 

2.              Vesting; Exercise Period .

 

(a)           Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap, as defined below, this Warrant shall be immediately exercisable.

 

(b)           This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on February [—], 2016 and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on February [—], 2021 (the “Exercise Period”), after which time this Warrant shall become void and of no value; provided , however , that in the event of (i) the consummation of the Company’s sale of its Common Stock or other securities pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (other than a registration statement relating either to sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to its stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction), (ii) the closing of the Company’s sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or (iii) the closing of the acquisition of the Company by another entity (excluding the Company’s proposed reverse merger with Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc.) by means of merger, consolidation or other transaction or series of related transactions, resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock such that the stockholders of the Company prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity (each action in (i) through (iii), a “Corporate Transaction”), this Warrant shall, on the date of such event, no longer be exercisable and become null and void.  In the event of a proposed transaction of the kind described above, the Company shall notify the holder of the Warrant at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such event or transaction and shall provide the Holder with a description of the proposed terms and conditions of such transaction, including the amount and form of consideration to be received for each share of the Company's capital stock.

 

(c)           The right of exercise shall be cumulative so that to the extent this Warrant is not exercised in any period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in whole or in part, until the earlier of the termination of the Exercise Period or the earlier termination of this Warrant under section 2(b) hereof.

 

(d)           The Holder of the Warrant shall be afforded the protections set forth in Section 4(j) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, for the Offering.

 

3.              Method of Exercise .

 

(a)           While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

 

(i)          a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and

 

(ii)         the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased, unless a cashless exercise is being made pursuant to Section 4 below.

 

(b)           Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company as provided in Section 3 (a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented by such certificate.

 

2

 

 

(c)           As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within five (5) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:

 

(i)          a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled, and

 

(ii)         in case such exercise is in part only, and the Holder has surrendered the Warrant, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Shares equal to the number of such Shares described in this Warrant minus the number of such Shares purchased by the Holder upon all exercises made in accordance with Section 3(a) above or Section 4 below.

 

4.           Net Exercise . In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”). A Holder who Net Exercises shall have the rights described in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:

 

 

Where

 

X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y = The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation).

 

A = The fair market value of one (1) Share (at the date of such calculation).

 

B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Share shall mean the average of the closing prices of the Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant) quoted in the over-the-counter market in which the Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant) are traded or the closing price quoted on any exchange or electronic securities market on which the Shares (or equivalent shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant) are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in The Wall Street Journal for the thirty (30) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value (or such shorter period of time during which such Shares were traded over-the-counter or on such exchange). In the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 4 in connection with an initial public offering described in Section 2(b)(i) (an “Initial Public Offering”), fair market value per Share shall be the higher of (i) the fair market value determined in the preceding sentence or (ii) the per share offering price to the public of the Initial Public Offering. If the Shares are not traded on the over-the-counter market, an exchange or an electronic securities market, the fair market value shall be the price per Share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued Shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

5.              Representations and Warranties of the Company . In connection with the transactions provided for herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that:

 

(a)            Organization, Good Standing, and Qualification .  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

 

(b)            Authorization . Except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, all corporate action has been taken on the part of the Company, its officers, directors, and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Warrant. The Company has taken all corporate action required to make all the obligations of the Company reflected in the provisions of this Warrant the valid and enforceable obligations they purport to be. The issuance of this Warrant will not be subject to preemptive rights of any stockholders of the Company. The Company has authorized sufficient shares of Series B Shares and, following the Reverse Stock Split, Common Stock, to allow for the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(c)           Compliance with Other Instruments . The authorization, execution and delivery of the Warrant will not constitute or result in a material default or violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Company or any material term or provision of the Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or any material agreement or instrument by which it is bound or to which its properties or assets are subject.

 

(d)            Valid Issuance of Common Stock . The Shares, when issued, sold, and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Warrants for the consideration expressed therein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, based in part upon the representations and warranties of the Holders in this Warrant, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

6.              Representations and Warranties of the Holder . In connection with the transactions provided for herein, the Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

(a)            Restricted Securities . The Holder understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, each Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, as promulgated by the SEC under the Act (“Rule 144”), and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

 

4

 

 

(b)            Legends . It is understood that the Securities may bear the following legend:

 

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.”

 

7.              State Commissioners of Corporations . THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITIES OR THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR SUCH SECURITIES PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL, UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102 OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE. THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS WARRANT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON SUCH QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT.

 

8.             Covenants of the Company .

 

(a)            Notices of Record Date . In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters and stock dividends) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

 

(b)            Covenants as to Shares . The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Shares to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Shares to such number of Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

5

 

 

(c)           No Impairment . Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder or as otherwise permitted under the terms hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

 

9.              Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares . The number and kind of Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(a)            Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances . If the Company shall at any time after the issuance but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Series B Shares or Common Stock as a dividend with respect to any shares of its Common Stock or Series B Shares, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price payable per share, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 9(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

 

(b)            Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation . In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 9(a) above), then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or change, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable as Shares by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

 

(c)            Notice of Adjustment . When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

6

 

 

10.            No Fractional Shares or Scrip . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

11.            No Stockholder Rights . Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of stockholder meetings, and, except as otherwise provided in this Warrant, such Holder shall not be entitled to any stockholder notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Company.

 

12.            Transfer of Warrant . Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and any other contractual restrictions between the Company and the Holder contained herein, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable in whole or in part by the Holder to any person or entity upon written notice to the Company. Within a reasonable time after the Company’s receipt of an executed Assignment Form in the form attached hereto, the transfer shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, to the Company at its principal offices, and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. In the event of a partial transfer, the Company shall issue to the new holders one (1) or more appropriate new warrants.

 

13.            Governing Law . This Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York as applied to agreements among New York residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of New York.

 

14.            Successors and Assigns . The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns.

 

15.            Titles and Subtitles . The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant.

17.            Assumption of Warrant .

18.            Finder’s Fee . Each party represents that it neither is or will be obligated for any finder’s fee or commission in connection with this transaction.

19.            Expenses .

21.            Severability . If any provision of this Warrant is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms

 

22.            Limitation on Beneficial Ownership . Except as provided otherwise in this Section, the number of Shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but, for avoidance of doubt, excluding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (or deemed conversion for voting purposes) (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”). For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. With respect to the Holder, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as the Holder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Holder. This paragraph shall be construed and administered in such manner as shall be consistent with the intent of the first sentence of this paragraph. Any provision hereof which would require a result that is not consistent with such intent shall be deemed severed herefrom and of no force or effect with respect to the exercise contemplated by this Warrant.

For purposes of the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted shares of Series B Shares beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 22, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section, 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, or Form 8-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of any the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days following the receipt of such notice, 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 exercise of the Warrant (or portion thereof being exercised) by the Holder and its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.

 

The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section to correct this Section (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.

Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall (i) limit or be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or (ii) operate, or be deemed to operate, to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer or (iii) limit, or be deemed to limit, any provision of the Certificate of Designations which is contrary to the above. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

(c)            Headings; Gender; Certain Meanings . The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this being deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

(d)            Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e)            Entire Agreement; Amendments . Except with regards to any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement entered into between the Buyers, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf solely with respect to the matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to), (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer and all such agreements shall continue in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by (i) the Company and (ii) the Buyers who own at least 66% of the Series B Shares purchase hereunder , and in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought; provided, that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Buyer, the consent of such Buyer shall also be required. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each Buyer. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Buyers.

(h)            No Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Buyer Indemnitees referred to in Section 8(k).

 

(i)             Survival . The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive each Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

  - 21 -  

 

 

(j)             Further Assurances . Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(k)            Indemnification . The Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Placement Agent (including its selected dealers, if any), and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, control persons and affiliates from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, fees and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened) based upon or arising out of any actual or alleged false acknowledgment, representation or warranty, or misrepresentation or omission to state a material fact, or breach by the Buyer of any covenant or agreement made by the Buyer herein or in any other document delivered in connection with this Agreement.

 

(l)             Construction . The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement.

 

(m)           Remedies . Each Buyer and each holder of any Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. The Company therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

 

  - 22 -  

 

 

(n)            Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

 

(o)           Potential Conflicts . The Placement Agent, its subagents, employees, legal counsel and/or their respective Affiliates, principals, representatives or employees may now or hereafter own shares of the Company.

(ii)         If the Piggyback Registration was initiated by the exercise of demand registration rights by a stockholder or stockholders of the Company (other than the Holders), then the number of shares that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to such selling stockholders who exercised such demand and then, subject to obligations and commitments existing as of the date hereof, to all other selling stockholders, including the Holders, who have requested to sell in the registration on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included therein.

No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration and no liquidated damages as set forth in Section 3(d) shall accrue with respect to such excluded securities. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities therefrom by delivering a written notice to the Company and the underwriter. The Registrable Securities so withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration; provided , however , that, if by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities, a greater number of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be included in such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable Securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms and limitations set forth herein in the same proportion used above in determining the underwriter limitation.

 

(d)            [Intentionally Omitted]

(1)(a) if the Commission does not declare the Registration Statement effective on or before the Registration Default Date, or (b) if the Commission allows the Registration Statement to be declared effective at any time before or after the Registration Default Date, subject to the withdrawal of certain Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement, and the reason for (a) or (b) is the Commission’s determination that (x) the offering of any of the Registrable Securities constitutes a primary offering of securities by the Company, (y) Rule 415 may not be relied upon for the registration of the resale of any or all of the Registrable Securities, and/or (z) a Holder of any Registrable Securities must be named as an underwriter, the Holders understand and agree that in the case of (b) the Company may reduce, on a pro rata basis, the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of each such Holder. In any such pro rata reduction, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by (i) first, the Registrable Securities represented by the Registrable Warrant Shares (applied, in the case that some Registrable Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Registrable Warrant Shares held by such Holders on a fully diluted basis), and (ii) second, Registrable Securities represented by Investor Shares (applied, in the case that some Investor Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Investor Shares held by such Holders) . In addition, any such affected Holder shall be entitled to Piggyback Registration rights after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission until such time as: (AA) all Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, (BB) the Registrable Securities may be resold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or (CC) the Holder agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such registration statement.

  10  

 

 

(b)            As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 9 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state law, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, any prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the registration statement or such prospectus or (ii) to the extent that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 4(f) hereof, the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the advice contemplated in Section 4(f). In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)            Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this Section (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided , that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist or the indemnified party may have defenses not available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner, other than reasonable costs of investigation. Neither an indemnified nor an indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.

 

  11  

 

 

(d)            If the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) or 9(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall (i) contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)            Other Indemnification . Indemnification similar to that specified in this Section (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

 

10.            Rule 144 . With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees: (i) to make and keep public information available as those terms are understood in Rule 144, (ii) to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish in writing upon such Holder’s request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such Holder a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing such Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission permitting the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration and (iv) undertake any additional actions commercially reasonably necessary to maintain the availability of the use of Rule 144.

In addition to the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties made or given by the Company to any acquirer of Securities in the Offering in any agreement, certificate, legal opinion or otherwise in connection with an Offering. For purposes of this Section 2(A), the term Company includes all of the Company’s subsidiaries (if any).

The Securities will be offered and sold pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Regulation D and/or Section 4 (a) (2) of the Act as a transaction not involving a public offering and the requirements of any other applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations thereunder in those United States jurisdictions in which the Placement Agent notifies the Company that the Securities are being offered for sale. None of the Company, its affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Placement Agent, its respective affiliates or any person acting on their behalf, in respect of which no representation is made) has taken nor will it take any action that conflicts with the conditions and requirements of, or that would make unavailable with respect to the Offering, the exemption(s) from registration available pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4 (a) (2) of the Act and applicable state securities laws, or knows of any reason why any such exemption would be otherwise unavailable to it).

The Company has not, for a period of six months prior to the commencement of the offering of Securities, sold, offered for sale or solicited any offer to buy any of its securities in a manner that would be integrated with the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, would cause the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 506 of Regulation D and state securities laws to become unavailable with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities to this Agreement in the United States.

(b)           If, at any time prior to the Final Closing, any event shall occur that causes a Company Material Adverse Effect which as a result it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Subscription Documents so that the representations and warranties herein remain true and correct in all material respects, or in case it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Subscription Documents to comply with Regulation D or any other applicable securities laws or regulations, the Company will promptly notify the Placement Agent and shall, at its sole cost, prepare and furnish to the Placement Agent copies of appropriate amendments and/or supplements in such quantities as the Placement Agent may reasonably request.

(b )              The Placement Agent will: (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its agents and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, selected dealers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act and such agents (each a “Company Indemnitee” or a “Company Party”) against, and pay or reimburse each Company Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or Proceedings, joint or several (which will, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including appeals), to which any Company Indemnitee may become subject (a) under the Act or otherwise, in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities and (b) which results from (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Subscription Documents made in reliance upon and in conformity with information contained in the Subscription Documents relating to the Placement Agent, or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in either case, if made or omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent, specifically for use in the preparation thereof or (y) any violations by the Placement Agent of the Act or state securities laws which does not result from a violation thereof by the Company Indemnitees or any of their respective affiliates, and (ii) reimburse each Company Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, action, proceeding or investigation; provided, however, in no event (except in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Placement Agent to the extent and only to the extent if found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall the Placement Agent’s indemnification obligation hereunder exceed the amount of Broker Cash Fees actually received by the Placement Agent.

 

(c )              Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, claim, proceeding or investigation (the “Action”), such indemnified party, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, will notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 unless the indemnifying party has been substantially prejudiced by such omission. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof subject to the provisions herein stated, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided, however, that if the indemnified party shall be requested by the indemnifying party to participate in the defense thereof or shall have concluded in good faith and specifically notified the indemnifying party either that there may be specific defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that such Action involves or could have a material adverse effect upon it with respect to matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement, then the counsel representing it, to the extent made necessary by such defenses, shall have the right to direct such defenses of such Action on its behalf and in such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in connection with any such participation or defenses shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No settlement of any Action against an indemnified party will be made without the consent of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in light of all factors of importance to such party, and no indemnifying party shall be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such claim effected without such indemnifying party’s consent. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if at any time an indemnified party requests the indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Proceedings as contemplated by this indemnity agreement, the indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent if (i) the proposed settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) the indemnifying party has not reimbursed the indemnified party within 30 days of such request for reimbursement, (iii) the indemnified party delivered written notice to the indemnifying party of its intention to settle and the failure to pay within such 30 day period, and (iv) the indemnifying party does not, within 15 days of receipt of the notice of the intention to settle and failure to pay, reimburse the indemnified party for such legal or other expenses and object to the indemnified party’s seeking to settle such Proceedings.

 

Placement Agency Agreement (PIPE) Page 19

 

 

9.              Contribution . To provide for just and equitable contribution, if: (i) an indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8 hereof and it is finally determined, by a judgment, order or decree not subject to further appeal that such claims for indemnification may not be enforced, even though this Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total Brokers’ Fees received by the Placement Agent. The relative fault, in the case of an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission will be determined by, among other things, whether such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agent, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would be unjust and inequitable if the respective obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent for contribution were determined by pro rata allocation of the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses or by any other method or allocation that does not reflect the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9. No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 9. Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent. This Section 9 is intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available.

 

10.            Termination .

 

(a)           The Offering may be terminated by the Placement Agent at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period in the event that: (i) any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein or in the Subscription Documents shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when actually made; (ii) the Company shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or under any other Company Transaction Document or any other transaction document; (iii) there shall occur any event, within the control of the Company that is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated hereunder or the ability of the Company to perform hereunder; or (iv) the Placement Agent determines that it is reasonably likely that any of the conditions to Closing to be fulfilled by the Company set forth herein will not, or cannot, be satisfied.

 

(b)           This Offering may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to the Termination Date in the event that (i) the Placement Agent shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or (ii) on account of the Placement Agent’s fraud, illegal or willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event of any termination by the Company, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to receive, on the Termination Date, all unpaid Broker Fees earned or accrued through the Termination Date and reimbursement of all expenses as provided for in this Agreement, but shall be entitled to no other amounts whatsoever except as may be due under any indemnity or contribution obligation for provided herein, at law or otherwise. On such Termination Date, the Company shall pay all such unpaid costs and expenses incurred by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering, Placement Agent counsel fee provided above and all unpaid Blue Sky Fees and other expenses set forth in Section 5(i) hereof.

 

Placement Agency Agreement (PIPE) Page 20

 

 

(c)           This Offering may be terminated upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Placement Agent at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period.

 

(d)           Except as otherwise provided above, before any termination by the Placement Agent under Section 10(a) or by the Company under Section 10(b) shall become effective, the terminating party shall give ten (10) day prior written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate the Offering (the “Termination Notice”). The Termination Notice shall specify the grounds for the proposed termination. If the specified grounds for termination, or their resulting adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereby, are curable, then the other party shall have five (5) days from the Termination Notice within which to remove such grounds or to eliminate all of their material adverse effects on the transactions contemplated hereby; otherwise, the Offering shall terminate.

 

(e)           Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 10, the Placement Agent and the Company will instruct the Escrow Agent to cause all monies received with respect to the subscriptions for Securities not accepted by the Company to be promptly returned to such subscribers without interest, penalty or deduction.

 

11.           Survival .

 

(a)           The obligations of the parties to pay any costs and expenses hereunder and to provide indemnification and contribution as provided herein shall survive any termination hereunder. In addition, the provisions of Sections 3, and 8 through 22 shall survive the sale of the Securities or any termination of the Offering hereunder.

 

(b)           The respective indemnities, covenants, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Placement Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of, and regardless of any access to information by the Company or the Placement Agent, or any of their officers or directors or any controlling person thereof, and will survive the sale of the Securities or any termination of the Offering hereunder.

 

12.           Notices .

Neither party may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

(b)           Each party shall, without payment of any additional consideration by any other party, at any time on or after the date of any Closings, take such further action and execute such other and further documents and instruments as the other party may reasonably request in order to provide the other party with the benefits of this Agreement.

 

(c)           The Parties to this Agreement each hereby confirm that they will cooperate with each other to the extent that it may become necessary to enter into any revisions or amendments to this Agreement, in the future to conform to any federal or state regulations as long as such revisions or amendments do not materially alter the obligations or benefits of either party under this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.4

 

ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) dated as of the effective date (the “Effective Date”) set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (“Schedule 1”) by and among the corporation identified as the “Company” on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Company”), the company identified on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Depositor”), and Delaware Trust Company, as escrow agent hereunder (the “Escrow Agent”).

 

WHEREAS , the Company intends to offer and sell to buyers (the “Subscribers”) and Subscribers desire to purchase from the Company in a private placement offering (the “Offering”) Series B Preferred Stock (the “Securities”), with each Security having voting power equivalent to 15,463.7183 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). The Company intends to raise an amount up to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000), which amount will include the cancellation of up to $500,000 of debt, with an over allotment up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (collectively referred to as the “Offering Amount”). The price per Security is $1.25 (the “Purchase Price”);

 

WHEREAS , the Offering is being made on a reasonable best efforts basis until the Offering Amount is reached, to “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”);

 

WHEREAS , the Company’s Securities may be offered through February 29, 2016 (the Initial Offering Period”), which period may be extended, at the discretion of the Company, to April 15, 2016 (this additional period and the Initial Offering Period shall be referred to as the “Offering Period”);

 

WHEREAS , the initial closing of the Offering (the “Initial Closing”) is conditioned on the receipt of acceptable subscriptions by the Company and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, including but not limited to the condition that at least $1,000,000 of the Offering Amount shall have been received by the Escrow Agent prior thereto (collectively, the “Initial Closing Conditions”);

 

WHEREAS , after the Initial Closing, the Company and the Depositor may mutually agree to continue the Offering until the Offering Amount has been reached or the end of the Offering Period, whichever is earlier, and subsequent closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) may take place on an intermittent basis, as deemed practical by the Company and the Depositor, conditioned on the receipt of acceptable subscriptions (this requirement for the receipt of acceptable subscriptions, together with certain other conditions to closing, are collectively referred to as the “Subsequent Closing Conditions”);

 

WHEREAS , the Subscribers in the Offering in connection with their intent to purchase the Securities in the Offering, shall execute and deliver Subscription Agreements and certain related documents memorializing the Subscriber’s agreements to purchase and the Company’s agreement to sell the Securities set forth therein at the Purchase Price;

 

 

 

 

WHEREAS , the parties hereto desire to provide for the safekeeping of the Escrow Deposit (as defined below) until such time as the Escrow Deposit is released by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS , the Escrow Agent has agreed to accept, hold, and disburse the Escrow Deposit deposited with it and the earnings thereon in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Appointment .  The Company and Depositor hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

2.             Escrow Fund.   On or before the Initial Closing, or on or before any Subsequent Closing with respect to the Securities sold after the Initial Closing, each Subscriber shall have delivered to the Escrow Agent the full Purchase Price for the total number of Securities subscribed for by such Subscriber by check sent to the Escrow Agent at its address set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wire transfer instructions set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, to the account of the Escrow Agent referenced on Schedule 2 hereto. All funds received from the subscribers in connection with the sale of the Securities in the Offering shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Deposit”). The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Deposit and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall invest and reinvest the Escrow Deposit and the proceeds thereof (the “Escrow Fund”) as directed in Section 3 hereto.

 

3.             Investment of Escrow Fund.   During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent in the investment indicated on Schedule 1 hereto, or such other investments as shall be directed in writing by the Company and the Depositor and as shall be acceptable to the Escrow Agent. All investment orders involving U.S. Treasury obligations, commercial paper and other direct investments may be executed through broker-dealers selected by the Escrow Agent. Periodic statements will be provided to the Company and the Depositor reflecting transactions executed on behalf of the Escrow Fund. The Company and the Depositor, upon written request, will receive a statement of transaction details upon completion of any securities transaction in the Escrow Fund without any additional cost. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment in an investment indicated on Schedule 1 hereto, or any investment made pursuant to the instructions of the parties hereto or as a result of any liquidation of any investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the parties to give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent may earn compensation in the form of short-term interest (“float”) on items like uncashed distribution checks (from the date issued until the date cashed), funds that the Escrow Agent is directed not to invest, deposits awaiting investment direction or received too late to be invested overnight in previously directed investments.

 

 

 

 

4.             Disposition and Termination.   The Depositor and the Company agree to notify the Escrow Agent in writing of any valid revocations and the Initial Closing date of the Offering. Additionally, subsequent to an Initial Closing, the Depositor and the Company agree to notify the Escrow Agent in writing of Subsequent Closing dates, if any, and of the termination of the Offering. Upon receipt of such written notification(s), the following procedures will take place:

 

(i) Release of Escrow Fund upon Initial Closing . Prior to the Initial Closing, the Company and the Depositor shall deliver to the Escrow Agent joint written instructions executed by a duly authorized executive officer of each of the Company and the Depositor (“Instructions”), which Instructions shall provide the day designated as the Initial Closing date, and shall specify the time and payment instructions, including the address and tax identification number of each payee, of the Escrow Fund, including with respect to placement fees that may be disbursed to the Depositor or to any other placement agent or selected dealer with respect to the Offering. Further, the Instructions shall include an acknowledgement and agreement from the Company and the Depositor that as of the Initial Closing date, the Closing Conditions have been or will be fully satisfied. The Escrow Agent shall, at the time and in accordance with the payment instructions specified in the Instructions, deliver the Escrow Fund (without interest).

 

(ii) Release of Escrow Fund upon a Subsequent Closing . Prior to a Subsequent Closing, the Company and the Depositor shall deliver to the Escrow Agent Instructions, which Instructions shall provide the day designated as the Subsequent Closing date, and acknowledge and agree that as of the Subsequent Closing date the Subsequent Closing Conditions have been or will be fully satisfied and shall specify the time and payment instructions, including the address and tax identification number of each payee, of the Escrow Fund, including with respect to placement fees that may be disbursed to the Depositor or to any other placement agent or selected dealer. The Escrow Agent shall, at the time and in accordance with the payment instructions specified in the Instructions, deliver the then Escrow Fund (without interest).

 

(iii) Release of Escrow Fund on Termination of Offering . In the event that the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice executed by a duly authorized executive officer of each of the Company and the Depositor indicating that the Offering has been terminated prior to the Initial Closing and designating a termination date, the Escrow Agent shall return to each Subscriber, the Purchase Price (without interest and deduction) delivered by such Subscriber to the Escrow Agent. The Company and the Depositor shall provide the Escrow Agent with time and payment instructions, including the address and tax identification number of each payee, for each Subscriber whose Purchase Price the Escrow Agent is to deliver pursuant to this Section (but in no case shall the Escrow Agent deliver such Purchase Price more than seven (7) days following receipt by the Escrow Agent of such delivery instructions).

 

 

 

 

(iv) Return of Escrow Fund on Rejection of Subscription . In the event the Company determines it is necessary or appropriate to reject the subscription of any Subscriber for whom the Escrow Agent has received an Escrow Deposit, the Company shall deliver written notice of such event to the Escrow Agent and the Depositor which notice shall include the reason for such rejection and the time and payment instructions, including the address and tax identification number of each payee, for the return to such Subscriber of the Purchase Price delivered by such Subscriber. The Escrow Agent shall deliver such funds (without interest and deduction) pursuant to such written notice.

 

(v) Return of Escrow Fund on Revocation of Subscription . In the event that the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice executed by a duly authorized executive officer of each of the Company and the Depositor indicating that any subscription has been revoked prior to the Initial Closing, pursuant to the subscription agreement between the Company and the relevant Subscriber, the Escrow Agent shall return to such revoking Subscriber, the Purchase Price (without interest and deduction) delivered by such Subscriber to the Escrow Agent. The Company and the Depositor shall provide the Escrow Agent with time and payment instructions, including the address and tax identification number of each payee, for each Subscriber whose Purchase Price the Escrow Agent is to deliver pursuant to this Section (but in no case shall the Escrow Agent deliver such Purchase Price more than seven (7) days following receipt by the Escrow Agent of such delivery instructions).

 

(vi) Delivery Pursuant to Court Order . Notwithstanding any provision contained herein, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a final and non-appealable judgment, order, decree or award of a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Court Order”), the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Fund in accordance with the Court Order. Any Court Order shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel for the party presenting the Court Order to the Escrow Agent (which opinion shall be satisfactory to the Escrow Agent) to the effect that the court issuing the Court Order has competent jurisdiction and that the Court Order is final and non-appealable.

 

Upon delivery of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent (i) to the Company following the Initial Closing, if there are to be no Subsequent Closings, (ii) following a Subsequent Closing, or (iii) to the Subscribers upon termination of the Offering prior to the Initial Closing, as the case may be, and in each case notice of termination of the Offering having been delivered by the Company and the Depositor to the Escrow Agent, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8.

 

 

 

 

5.             Escrow Agent.   The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to the Company or Depositor. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys (and shall be liable only for the careful selection of any such agent or attorney) and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the other parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

6.             Succession.   The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving ten (10) Business Days (as defined below) advance notice in writing of such resignation to the other parties hereto specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold an amount equal to any amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of the Escrow Agreement. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

 

7.             Fees.   The Company agrees to (i) pay the Escrow Agent upon the Closing and from time to time thereafter reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, which unless otherwise agreed in writing shall be as described in Schedule 4 hereto, and (ii) pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all expenses, disbursements and advances, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in connection with the preparation, execution, performance, delivery, modification and termination of this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent is authorized to deduct such fees from the Escrow Fund at the time of the Initial Closing without prior authorization from the Company or the Depositor. In the event that the Offering is terminated prior to the Initial Closing, the Company agrees to pay the Escrow Agent the Review Fee and the Acceptance Fee as described in Schedule 4 hereto.

 

 

 

 

8.             Indemnity.   The Company shall indemnify and save harmless the Escrow Agent and its directors, officers, agents and employees (the “indemnitees”) from all loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of in house or outside counsel) arising out of or in connection with (i) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Escrow Agreement, except in the case of any indemnitee to the extent that such loss, liability or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee, or (ii) its following any instructions or other directions from the Company and/or the Depositor, except to the extent that (x) its following any such instruction or direction is in violation of the terms hereof or (y) such loss, liability or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Depositor, in which case such Depositor shall be the indemnifying party hereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

 

9.             TINs.   The Company and the Depositor each represent that its correct TIN assigned by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority is set forth in Schedule 1 hereto. All interest or other income earned under the Escrow Agreement, if any, shall be allocated and/or paid as directed in a joint written direction of the Company and the Depositor and reported by the recipient to the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. Unless otherwise indicated in writing by the Company and the Depositor, no taxes or other withholdings are required to be made under applicable law or otherwise with respect to any payment to be made by Escrow Agent. All documentation necessary to support a claim of exemption or reduction in such taxes or other withholdings has been timely collected by Company and the Depositor and copies will be provided to Escrow Agent promptly upon a request therefor. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Escrow Agent, all tax returns required to be filed with the IRS and any other taxing authority as required by law with respect to payments made hereunder shall be timely filed and prepared by Company and/or the Depositor, as applicable, including but not limited to any applicable reporting or withholding pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Reporting Act ("FATCA").  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the preparation and/or filing of any tax return or any applicable FATCA reporting with respect to the Escrow Fund.    The Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate, including but not limited to required withholding in the absence of proper tax documentation, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities as it determines may be required by any law or regulation in effect at the time of the distribution..

 

10.             Notices.   All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given and received:

 

(i) upon delivery if delivered personally or upon confirmed transmittal if by facsimile;

 

(ii) on the next Business Day (as defined herein) if sent by overnight courier; or

 

(iii) four (4) Business Days after mailing if mailed by prepaid registered mail, return receipt requested, to the appropriate notice address set forth on Schedule 1 hereto or at such other address as any party hereto may have furnished to the other parties in writing by registered mail, return receipt requested.

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of communications delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10, such communications shall be deemed to have been given on the date received by the Escrow Agent. In the event that the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine that an emergency exists, the Escrow Agent may use such other means of communication as the Escrow Agent deems appropriate. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which the Escrow Agent located at the notice address set forth on Schedule 1 hereto is authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

11.          Security Procedures.   In the event funds transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule 3 hereto, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Company or the Depositor to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

 

12.          Miscellaneous.   The provisions of this Escrow Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto. Neither this Escrow Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by any party, except as provided in Section 6, without the prior consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of Delaware. The parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Escrow Agreement. No party to this Escrow Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Escrow Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, floods, strikes, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control. This Escrow Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
