Explanatory Note

 

On August 22, 2017, DarioHealth Corp. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with the closing of concurrent private placement offerings (the “Prior 8-K”). This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “8-K/A”) is being filed to clarify that the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) is entitled to a fixed 6% dividend, to disclose that the Company filed a Certificate of Correction to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock to reflect the fixed 6% dividend of the Series B Preferred Stock, as well as to file the relevant exhibits associated with the offerings.

 

No other changes were made to the Prior 8-K and this Form 8-K/A should be read in connection with the Prior 8-K. Accordingly, except as specifically noted above, this Form 8-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Prior 8-K.. Unless filed herewith, references to the exhibits in this Form 8-K/A are references to the exhibits filed with the Prior 8-K..

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Between August 16, 2017 and August 22, 2017, Company executed Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with a total of 23 accredited and non-U.S. investors relating to two concurrent placement offerings (collectively, the “Offering”) of 483,333 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $1.80 per share and 2,307,654 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1.80 per share (collectively, the “Securities”). The closing of the Offering took place on August 22, 2017.

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 2,307,654 shares of Common Stock based on a conversion price of $1.80 per share. Such conversion price is not subject to any future price-based anti-dilution adjustments but does carry customary stock-based anti-dilution protection. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to convert such preferred stock into shares of the Company’s Common Stock until the Company obtains stockholder approval for such issuance and upon obtaining such stockholder approval shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock. In addition, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a 6% fixed dividend, payable in shares of Common Stock, which shall be payable upon the automatic conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock do not possess any voting rights but the Series B Preferred Stock does carry a liquidation preference for each holder equal to the investment made by such holder in the Offering, and such liquidation preference applies in certain deemed liquidation events such as a change in control of the Company. In addition, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are eligible to participate in dividends and other distributions by the Company on an as converted basis. On August 23, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction to the Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Correction”) to reflect that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a fixed 6% dividend.

 

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the payment of the Series B Preferred Stock dividend, within 60 days of closing.

 

In addition, in connection with the Offering, the Company engaged a placement agent and the Company agreed to pay the placement agent an aggregate commission of $140,000 for the placement of a portion of the Securities sold in the Offering. In addition the Company has agreed to pay a certain finder a fee of $35,100 and issue 159,333 shares of Common Stock to two additional finders.

 

The Securities issued in the Offering are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder because, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering, the investors are accredited investors, the investors are taking the securities for investment and not resale and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities, and pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act to non-U.S. investors. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these Securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

 

 

 

 

The description of the Certificate of Designation, Certificate of Correction and the Securities Purchase Agreements, are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Securities Purchase Agreements and Certificate of Designation which have been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, 10.1 and 10.2.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The response to this item is included in Item 1.01, Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, and is incorporated herein in its entirety.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and further authorizes the Board of Directors of the Company to fix and determine the designation, preferences, conversion rights, or other rights, including voting rights, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the preferred stock.

 

On August 22, 2017, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation with the Delaware Secretary of State to designate the rights and preferences of up to 2,4000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 2,307,654 of which were issued in connection with the Offering.

 

On August 25, 2017, the Company filed the Certificate of Correction which reflected that the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a fixed 6% dividend.

The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Stock.

 

Section 7 .            Certain Adjustments .

 

a)            Stock Dividends and Stock Splits .

For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The Corporation shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Corporation is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Preferred Stock, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Preferred Stock a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Preferred Stock which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Preferred Stock) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

 

f)            Calculations . All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Corporation or any of the subsidiaries, the Corporation shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

2. A Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 22, 2017, and said Certificate of Designation requires correction as permitted by subsection (f) of Section 103 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The Holders shall be entitled to receive a one time dividend at a fixed rate of 6% on the Stated Value per share of Preferred Stock, payable on the date of the Automatic Conversion of the Preferred Stock, which dividend shall be paid in shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to the unpaid dividend divided by the Conversion Price.”

 

5. All other provisions of the Certificate of Designation remain unchanged.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate of Correction to be executed by a duly authorized officer this 25th day of August, 2017.

DarioHealth Corp.

Caesarea Industrial Park, Israel 3088900

 

In connection with my purchase of a certain securities (“Securities”) of DarioHealth Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I, the undersigned subscriber (“I” or “Investor”) understand that the offer and sale of the Securities to me is contingent upon my status as an “Accredited Investor” as defined pursuant to the terms of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). In connection with the purchase, I have reviewed and completed the Accredited Investor Questionnaire set forth below:

 

As of the date hereof, the Investor is ( check all appropriate categories ):

 

____     A natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of his or her purchase exceeds $1,000,000. When determining net worth for purposes of Rules 215 and 501(a)(5) of the Act, the value of an individual’s primary residence should be excluded. The value of the primary residence is determined by subtracting from the estimated fair market value of the property, the amount of debt secured by the property up to the estimated fair market value;

 

____     A natural person who had individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year. Individual income is defined as adjusted gross income (as reported for federal income tax purposes), less any income earned by a spouse or from property owned by a spouse, increased by the following amounts (not attributable to a spouse): (i) the amount of any tax exempt interest income received, (ii) the amount of losses claimed a limited partner in a limited partnership, and (iii) any deductions claimed for depletion.

 

_____     A director or an executive officer of the Company.

 

____     A bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or a savings and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity;

 

____     A broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

 

____     An insurance company as defined in Section 2(13) of the Securities Act;

 

____     An investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development company as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of that Act;

 

____     A Small Business Investment Company licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration under Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958;

 

  31  

 

 

____     A plan established and maintained by a state, its political subdivisions, any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees, if such plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000;

 

____     An employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such Act, which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company or registered investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000, or, if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by persons that are accredited investors;

 

____     A private business development company as defined in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

 

____     An organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust, or partnership, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;

 

____     A trust with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) under the Securities Act.

 

____     An entity in which all equity owners are accredited investors.

 

In addition, as of this date, I hereby represent and warrant to the Company and agree as follows:

 

1. I acknowledge that the Securities, and any other securities issuable upon exercise of any conversion or other rights that are a part of the Securities, have not been and will not be registered under the Act, and are being offered and sold under one or more of the exemptions from registration provided for in Sections 4(a)(2), as well as Regulation D promulgated under the Act. I further acknowledge that the Securities have not been qualified under any state securities laws in reliance on an exemption from qualification. I also acknowledge that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of my representations, warranties, and acknowledgments made in this Questionnaire in offering the Securities for sale without registering them under the Act or qualifying them under applicable state securities laws.

 

2. If a natural person, I am a citizen of the United States, and at least 18 years of age. I am a bona fide resident and domiciliary (not a temporary or transient resident) of the state indicated on the signature page hereto, and have no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction.

 

3. I understand that (i) an investment in the Securities is suitable only for an investor who is able to bear the economic consequences of losing his or her entire investment; (ii) an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss; and (iii) there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Securities, and accordingly, it may not be possible to liquidate my investment in the Securities in the case of an emergency.

 

4. I have the financial ability (i) to bear the economic risk of my investment in the Securities; (ii) to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time; and (iii) currently to afford a complete loss of my investment in the Securities without experiencing any undue financial difficulties, and my commitments to all speculative investments (including my investment in the Securities) are reasonable in relation to my net worth and annual income.

 

  32  

 

 

5. I acknowledge that this transaction has not been reviewed or scrutinized by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any administrative agency charged with the administration of the securities laws of any state, and that no such agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

 

6. I am acquiring the Securities in good faith solely for my personal account (or a trust account if I am a trustee), for investment purposes only, and not with a view to any sale, distribution, subdivision, or fractionalization of the Securities, in whole or in part.

 

7. I acknowledge that the Securities, and any other securities issuable upon exercise of any conversion or other rights that are a part of the Securities, are and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act; that the Securities are not and will not be registered under the Act and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state and foreign securities laws, or unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available. I understand the resale limitations imposed by the Act and am familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and the conditions that must be met in order for that Rule to be available for the resale of “restricted securities”.

 

8. I agree not to sell, convey, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any of the Securities unless (i) the Securities to be Transferred have been registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state and foreign securities laws, or (ii) I have notified the Company of the proposed Transfer, and I have presented the Company with a written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company or a “no-action” or interpretive letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that registration is not required under the circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and counsel to the Company shall have concurred with the opinion of my counsel or the applicability of the no-action or interpretive letter; provided that no Transfer of any of the Securities shall be permitted except in compliance with the terms and conditions of any agreement between me and the Company imposing restrictions on the Transfer of the Securities.

 

9. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, and any of its affiliates, associates, agents, or employees from and against any and all loss, damage, or liability (including costs and attorneys’ fees) due to or arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty, or acknowledgment made by me in this Questionnaire.

 

10. The representations, warranties, acknowledgments, and agreements set forth in this Questionnaire and the Securities Purchase Agreement shall survive both (i) my purchase and the Company’s issuance and delivery of the Securities, and (ii) my death or disability, and will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

The Company shall hold a special meeting of stockholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of shareholders) at the earliest practical date after the date hereof, and in any event within 180 days following the date hereof (“ Shareholder Approval Deadline ”), for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain such Stockholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every 90 days thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date Stockholder Approval is obtained or the Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding.

 

4.12        Form D; Blue Sky Filings . The Company agrees to timely file a Form D, if required by applicable law, with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser.

4.15        Equal Treatment of Purchasers . No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

DarioHealth Corp.

Caesarea Industrial Park, Israel 3088900

 

In connection with my purchase of a certain securities (“Securities”) of DarioHealth Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I, the undersigned subscriber (“I” or “Investor”) understand that the offer and sale of the Securities to me is contingent upon my status as an “Accredited Investor” as defined pursuant to the terms of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). In connection with the purchase, I have reviewed and completed the Accredited Investor Questionnaire set forth below:

 

As of the date hereof, the Investor is ( check all appropriate categories ):

 

____     A natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of his or her purchase exceeds $1,000,000. When determining net worth for purposes of Rules 215 and 501(a)(5) of the Act, the value of an individual’s primary residence should be excluded. The value of the primary residence is determined by subtracting from the estimated fair market value of the property, the amount of debt secured by the property up to the estimated fair market value;

 

____     A natural person who had individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year. Individual income is defined as adjusted gross income (as reported for federal income tax purposes), less any income earned by a spouse or from property owned by a spouse, increased by the following amounts (not attributable to a spouse): (i) the amount of any tax exempt interest income received, (ii) the amount of losses claimed a limited partner in a limited partnership, and (iii) any deductions claimed for depletion.

 

____     A director or an executive officer of the Company.

 

____     A bank as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or a savings and loan association or other institution as defined in Section 3(a)(5)(A) of the Securities Act whether acting in its individual or fiduciary capacity;

____     An insurance company as defined in Section 2(13) of the Securities Act;

 

____     An investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development company as defined in Section 2(a)(48) of that Act;

 

____     A Small Business Investment Company licensed by the U.S. Small Business Administration under Section 301(c) or (d) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958;

 

  C- 1  

 

 

____     A plan established and maintained by a state, its political subdivisions, any agency or instrumentality of a state or its political subdivisions, for the benefit of its employees, if such plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000;

 

____     An employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such Act, which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company or registered investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000, or, if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by persons that are accredited investors;

 

____     A private business development company as defined in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

 

____     An organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust, or partnership, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000;

 

____     A trust with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) under the Securities Act.

 

____     An entity in which all equity owners are accredited investors.

 

In addition, as of this date, I hereby represent and warrant to the Company and agree as follows:

 

1. I acknowledge that the Securities, and any other securities issuable upon exercise of any conversion or other rights that are a part of the Securities, have not been and will not be registered under the Act, and are being offered and sold under one or more of the exemptions from registration provided for in Sections 4(2) and 3(b) of the Act, as well as Regulation D promulgated under the Act. I further acknowledge that the Securities have not been qualified under any state securities laws in reliance on an exemption from qualification. I also acknowledge that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of my representations, warranties, and acknowledgments made in this Questionnaire in offering the Securities for sale without registering them under the Act or qualifying them under applicable state securities laws.

 

2. If a natural person, I am a citizen of the United States, and at least 18 years of age. I am a bona fide resident and domiciliary (not a temporary or transient resident) of the state indicated on the signature page hereto, and have no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction.

 

3. I understand that (i) an investment in the Securities is suitable only for an investor who is able to bear the economic consequences of losing his or her entire investment; (ii) an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk of loss; and (iii) there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Securities, and accordingly, it may not be possible to liquidate my investment in the Securities in the case of an emergency.

 

4. I have the financial ability (i) to bear the economic risk of my investment in the Securities; (ii) to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time; and (iii) currently to afford a complete loss of my investment in the Securities without experiencing any undue financial difficulties, and my commitments to all speculative investments (including my investment in the Securities) are reasonable in relation to my net worth and annual income.

 

  C- 2  

 

 

5. I acknowledge that this transaction has not been reviewed or scrutinized by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any administrative agency charged with the administration of the securities laws of any state, and that no such agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

 

6. I am acquiring the Securities in good faith solely for my personal account (or a trust account if I am a trustee), for investment purposes only, and not with a view to any sale, distribution, subdivision, or fractionalization of the Securities, in whole or in part.

 

7. I acknowledge that the Securities, and any other securities issuable upon exercise of any conversion or other rights that are a part of the Securities, are and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act; that the Securities are not and will not be registered under the Act and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state and foreign securities laws, or unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available. I understand the resale limitations imposed by the Act and am familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and the conditions that must be met in order for that Rule to be available for the resale of “restricted securities”.

 

8. I agree not to sell, convey, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any of the Securities unless (i) the Securities to be Transferred have been registered under the Act and qualified under any applicable state and foreign securities laws, or (ii) I have notified the Company of the proposed Transfer, and I have presented the Company with a written opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company or a “no-action” or interpretive letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that registration is not required under the circumstances of the proposed Transfer, and counsel to the Company shall have concurred with the opinion of my counsel or the applicability of the no-action or interpretive letter; provided that no Transfer of any of the Securities shall be permitted except in compliance with the terms and conditions of any agreement between me and the Company imposing restrictions on the Transfer of the Securities.

 

9. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, and any of its affiliates, associates, agents, or employees from and against any and all loss, damage, or liability (including costs and attorneys’ fees) due to or arising out of a breach of any representation, warranty, or acknowledgment made by me in this Questionnaire.

 

10. The representations, warranties, acknowledgments, and agreements set forth in this Questionnaire and the Securities Purchase Agreement shall survive both (i) my purchase and the Company’s issuance and delivery of the Securities, and (ii) my death or disability, and will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.
