Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 28, 2013, we entered into a separation and general release agreement (the “ Separation and General Release Agreement ”) with Richard Rosenblum, our former president and co-executive chairman, pursuant to which Mr. Rosenblum’s employment agreement with us, dated as of May 16, 2012 (the “ Employment Agreement ”), was terminated effective as of December 31, 2012. Pursuant to the Separation and General Release Agreement, in exchange for Mr. Rosenblum waiving and releasing us from any claims he may have had against us, all unvested options to purchase shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Common Stock ”) held by Mr. Rosenblum were immediately vested in full and we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Rosenblum, dated as of June 28, 2013, retroactively effective to January 1, 2013 (the “ Consulting Agreement ”).  Pursuant to the Separation and General Release Agreement, Mr. Rosenblum remains subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation obligations under the Employment Agreement.

Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, through December 31, 2014, Mr. Rosenblum will provide certain consulting services to us at our request in exchange for (i) a one-time grant of 8,144,719 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) monthly payments of $2,500 from June 2013 through June 2014.  Mr. Rosenblum is also subject to, among other things, confidentiality restrictions typical for agreements of this type.

The foregoing summaries of the Separation and General Release Agreement and the Consulting Agreement are not complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements that are exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Readers should review those agreements for a more complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On June 28, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “ Securities Purchase Agreement ”), pursuant to which we issued certain accredited investors (the “ Investors ”) an aggregate of 24,406,481 shares (the “ Investor Shares ”) of our Common Stock, and five year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 24,406,481 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.097 per share (each, an “ Investor Warrant ”), in exchange for aggregate consideration of $1,976,925 (the “ Private Placement ”).

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the Investors and us that are typical for transactions of this type. In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement contains a “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment provision, pursuant to which, in the event that we sell or issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at a price (the “ Base Price ”) lower than the per share purchase price of the Investor Shares under the Securities Purchase Agreement ($0.081 per share), we will be required to issue to each Investor, for no additional consideration, a certain number of shares of Common Stock (the “ Additional Shares ”), such that the purchase price paid by such Investor under the Securities Purchase Agreement for the number of Investor Shares then held, when divided by the aggregate number of Investor Shares then held and Additional Shares issued to such Investor, will equal the Base Price. This Investor right will terminate at any time following the nine month anniversary of the final closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement, if (i) the closing sales price of the Common Stock for thirty (30) consecutive trading days is at least 200% of the per share purchase price, (ii) the product of (A) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on its principal market and (B) its corresponding daily trading volume, each as reported by Bloomberg L.P., equals or exceeds $50,000 for such thirty (30) consecutive trading days and (iii) the Investor Shares that were acquired hereunder by Investors who are not our affiliates were eligible for unrestricted sale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), on their principal market from the six month anniversary of the final closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement through at least the nine month anniversary of the final closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Each Investor Warrant is exercisable immediately for cash. In addition, in the event that there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an Investor Warrant at any time following the one year anniversary of the issuance date of such Investor Warrant, such Investor Warrant may also be exercised by way of a cashless exercise. The Investor Warrants also contain provisions that protect their holders against dilution by adjustment of the purchase price in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits and other similar events.

The Investor Shares and the Investor Warrants issued to the Investors were not registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, provided by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act. Each Investor was an accredited investor (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act) at the time of the Private Placement.

As consideration for serving as a placement agent in the Private Placement, we paid Summer Street Research Partners (“ Summer Street ”) a fee equal to $62,632 and issued Summer Street a five year warrant to purchase 773,235 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.097 per share (the “ Placement Agent Warrant ”).  The Placement Agent Warrant has identical terms to the Investor Warrants.

The Placement Agent Warrant issued to Summer Street was not registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, and was offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, provided by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act. Summer Street was an accredited investor (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act) at the time of the Private Placement.

The foregoing summaries of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Investor Warrants are not complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements that are exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Readers should review those agreements for a more complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.

SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT


THIS SEPARATION AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “ Separation Agreement ”) is entered into between RICHARD ROSENBLUM , an individual residing at 19 Horizon Drive, Wayne, New Jersey 07470 (“ Executive ”) and ALLIQUA, INC. , a Florida corporation (“ Employer ”).  Employer, together with its past, present and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, affiliated entities, related companies and divisions and each of their respective past, present and future officers, directors, employees, shareholders, trustees, members, partners, attorneys and agents (in each case, individually and in their official capacities), and each of their respective employee benefit plans (and such plans' fiduciaries, agents, administrators and insurers, individually and in their official capacities), as well as any predecessors, future successors or assigns or estates of any of the foregoing, is collectively referred to in this Separation Agreement as the “ Released Parties .”

1.            Separation of Employment .  Executive acknowledges and understands that Executive’s employment under the employment agreement dated as of May 16, 2012 between Executive and Employer (the “ Employment Agreement ”) terminated as of December 31, 2012 (the “ Separation Date ”).  Executive understands that, except as otherwise provided in this Separation Agreement and/or the Consulting Agreement (as defined below) being entered into in connection herewith, Executive is entitled to nothing further from the Released Parties.

2.            Executive General Release of the Released Parties .  In consideration of the payments and benefits set forth in Section 4 below and Employer’s agreement to engage Executive as an independent contractor under the Consulting Agreement (as defined below in Section 5), Executive hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases, waives, discharges and gives up, to the full extent permitted by law, any and all Claims (as defined below) that Executive may have against any of the Released Parties, arising on or prior to the date of Executive’s execution and delivery of this Separation Agreement to Employer.  “ Claims ” means any and all actions, charges, controversies, demands, causes of action, suits, rights, and/or claims whatsoever for debts, sums of money, wages, salary, severance pay, commissions, fees, bonuses, unvested stock options, vacation pay, sick pay, fees and costs, attorneys fees, losses, penalties, damages, including damages for pain and suffering and emotional harm, arising, directly or indirectly, out of any promise, agreement (including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement), offer letter, contract, understanding, common law, tort, the laws, statutes, and/or regulations of the State of New York or any other state and the United States, including, but not limited to, federal and state wage and hour laws (to the extent waiveable), federal and state whistleblower laws, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Equal Pay Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (excluding COBRA), the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ ADEA ”), the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the federal False Claims Act, the New York State Human Rights Laws and the New York City Human Rights Laws, as each may be amended from time to time, whether arising directly or indirectly from any act or omission, whether intentional or unintentional.  This Section 2 releases all Claims including those of which Executive is not aware and those not mentioned in this Separation Agreement.  Executive specifically releases any and all Claims arising out of Executive’s employment with Employer or termination therefrom. Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by entering into this Separation Agreement, Executive is releasing and waiving any and all Claims, including, without limitation, Claims that Executive may have arising under ADEA, which have arisen on or before the date of Executive’s execution and delivery of this Separation Agreement to Employer.

3.            Representations; Covenant Not to Sue.   Executive hereby represents and warrants that (A) Executive has not filed, caused or permitted to be filed any pending proceeding (nor has Executive lodged a complaint with any governmental or quasi-governmental authority) against any of the Released Parties, nor has Executive agreed to do any of the foregoing, (B) Executive has not assigned, transferred, sold, encumbered, pledged, hypothecated, mortgaged, distributed, or otherwise disposed of or conveyed to any third party any right or Claim against any of the Released Parties which has been released in this Separation Agreement, and (C) Executive has not directly or indirectly assisted any third party in filing, causing or assisting to be filed, any Claim against any of the Released Parties.  Except as set forth in Section 11 below, Executive covenants and agrees that Executive shall not encourage or solicit or voluntarily assist or participate in any way in the filing, reporting or prosecution by himself or any third party of a proceeding or Claim against any of the Released Parties based upon or relating to any Claim released by Executive in this Separation Agreement.

4.            Stock Options .  As good consideration for Executive’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of this Separation Agreement all of the outstanding stock options to acquire Employer’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share granted to Executive, which are set forth in full on Annex I attached hereto, to the extent not yet vested as of the Separation Date, shall be immediately and fully vested.

5.            Consulting Agreement .  In further consideration of, and subject to, Executive’s execution, delivery, and non-revocation of this Separation Agreement, Employer will agree to engage Executive, on an independent contractor basis, to perform consulting services to Employer upon the terms and conditions set forth in the letter to Executive in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “ Consulting Agreement ”).

6.            Who is Bound .  Employer and Executive are bound by this Separation Agreement.  Anyone who succeeds to Executive’s rights and responsibilities, such as the executors of Executive’s estate, is bound and anyone who succeeds to Employer’s rights and responsibilities, such as its successors and assigns, is also bound.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an admission of liability on the part of any of the Released Parties.

7.            Cooperation With Investigations/Litigation.   Executive agrees, upon Employer’s request, to reasonably cooperate in any Employer investigation, litigation, arbitration, or regulatory proceeding regarding events that occurred during Executive’s tenure with Employer. Executive will make himself reasonably available to consult with Employer’s counsel, to provide information, and to appear to give testimony.  Employer will reimburse Executive for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Executive incurs in extending such cooperation, so long as Executive provides advance written notice of Executive’s request for reimbursement and provides satisfactory documentation of the expenses.

8.            Surviving Employment Agreement Provisions .  Executive acknowledges that the terms of Sections 6 and 7 of the Employment Agreement shall survive the Separation Date and remain in full force and effect.   Executive hereby agrees that for purposes of Section 7 of the Employment Agreement, the term “Restricted Period” as used therein shall be extended until the later of the Restricted Period as defined in such Section of the Employment Agreement or the one-year anniversary of the expiration of the “Consulting Period” as defined in the Consulting Agreement; provided, however, nothing set forth in Section 7(a) of the Employment Agreement shall prohibit Executive from soliciting or doing business with, either directly or indirectly, whether personally or through other persons or entities, any distributor of Employer’s products that was introduced to Employer by Executive or from soliciting, engaging or hiring on behalf of himself or any person or entity any employee or consultant of Employer or any member of Employer’s Scientific Advisory Board who was introduced to Employer by Executive. Executive hereby represents and warrants to Employer that Executive has at all times been in full compliance with the terms of Sections 6 and 7 of the Employment Agreement.  Employer agrees that Section 10(l) of the Employment Agreement (regarding certain indemnification obligations) shall survive the Separation Date.

9.            Employer Property .  Executive agrees to return to Employer all of Employer’s and its affiliates’ property in Executive’s possession, custody and/or control, including, but not limited to, all equipment, vehicles, computers, personal digital assistants, pass codes, keys, swipe cards, credit cards, documents or other materials, in whatever form or format, that Executive received, prepared, or helped prepare, except to the extent permitted to be retained by Executive or needed to perform his consulting services during the Consulting Period set forth in the Consulting Agreement. Executive agrees that Executive will not retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions, computer disks, or excerpts thereof of Employer’s or its affiliates’ documents except to the extent permitted to be retained by Executive or needed to perform his consulting services during the Consulting Period set forth in the Consulting Agreement.

10.            Construction of Agreement .  In the event that one or more of the provisions contained in this Separation Agreement, the Consulting Agreement or the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement shall for any reason be held unenforceable in any respect under the law of any state of the United States or the United States, such unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Separation Agreement, but this Separation Agreement, the Consulting Agreement, and the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement shall then be construed as if such unenforceable provision or provisions had never been contained herein. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder, the Consulting Agreement, or under the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  This Separation Agreement, the Consulting Agreement, the preserved sections of the Employment Agreement, and any and all matters arising directly or indirectly herefrom shall be governed under the laws of the State of New York without reference to choice of law or conflict of law principles or rules.  Employer and Executive consent to the sole jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in New York, New York.   EMPLOYER AND EXECUTIVE HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION CONCERNING THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT OR ANY AND ALL MATTERS ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY HEREFROM, AND REPRESENT THAT THEY HAVE CONSULTED WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE OR HAVE CHOSEN VOLUNTARILY NOT TO DO SO SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THIS WAIVER.

11.            Acknowledgments .  Employer and Executive acknowledge and agree that:

(A)  By entering in this Separation Agreement, Executive does not waive any rights or Claims that may arise after the date that Executive executes and deliver this Separation Agreement to Employer;

(B)  This Separation Agreement shall not affect the rights and responsibilities of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “ EEOC ”) or similar federal or state agency to enforce ADEA or other laws, and further acknowledge and agree that this Separation Agreement shall not be used to justify interfering with Executive’s protected right to file a charge or participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or similar federal or state agency.  Accordingly, nothing in this Separation Agreement shall preclude Executive from filing a charge with, or participating in any manner in an investigation, hearing or proceeding conducted by, the EEOC or similar federal or state agency, but Executive hereby waives any and all rights to recover under, or by virtue of, any such investigation, hearing or proceeding;

(C)  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Separation Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Separation Agreement shall affect or be used to interfere with Executive’s protected right to test in any court, under the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, or like statute or regulation, the validity of the waiver of rights under ADEA set forth in this Separation Agreement; and

(D)  Nothing in this Separation Agreement shall preclude Executive from exercising Executive’s rights, if any (i) under Section 601-608 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, popularly known as COBRA, or (ii)   Employer’s 401(k) plan.

(B)           This Separation Agreement shall be effective and enforceable on the eighth (8th) day after execution and delivery to Employer by Executive.  The parties hereto understand and agree that Executive may revoke this Separation Agreement after having executed and delivered it to Employer in writing, provided such writing is received by Employer at the address listed in this Separation Agreement above no later than 11:59 p.m. on the seventh (7th) day after Executive’s execution and delivery of this Separation Agreement to Employer.  If Executive revokes this Separation Agreement, it shall not be effective or enforceable, Employer shall not be obligated to engage Executive as an independent contractor pursuant to the Consulting Agreement and Executive shall not be entitled to receive the benefits provided for under Section 4 of this Separation Agreement, and the Separation Date shall be unaltered.

13.   Section 409A Compliance .  This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) and regulations promulgated thereunder (“ Section 409A ”).  To the extent that any provision in this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that no payments due under this Agreement shall be subject to an "additional tax" as defined in Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.  In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.  All reimbursements provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Executive’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred, and (iv) the right to reimbursement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

Dear Richard:

This letter agreement shall set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Alliqua, Inc., a Florida corporation (“ Alliqua ”), will engage you to provide consulting services to Alliqua on an independent contractor basis.  This agreement is being entered into in connection with the termination of the employment agreement between you and Alliqua dated as of May 16, 2012 (the “ Employment Agreement ”).

1.     Services .  During the Consulting Period (as defined in Section 2 below), Alliqua hereby engages you as an independent contractor to provide to Alliqua (a) assistance with the transition of your services in connection with your separation from service as an officer of Alliqua (“ Transition Services ”), and (b) such additional services, as reasonably requested by Alliqua (the “ Advisory Services ”, and together with the Transition Services, the “ Services ”).

2.     Consulting Period .  The Consulting Period shall commence as of January 1, 2013, and shall expire on December 31, 2014.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consulting Period shall terminate immediately if (a) the proposed Separation and General Release Agreement attached hereto (the “ Separation and Release Agreement ”) does not become effective on or before June 30, 2013, (b) you are reasonably determined by Alliqua to be in material breach of this letter agreement or the Separation and Release Agreement, (c) you commit any act or omission that involves dishonesty or disloyalty to Alliqua or its affiliates that results in material harm to Alliqua, or (d) you breach any of the “Surviving Employment Agreement Provisions” as defined in Section 8 below (each, a “ Termination Event ”).  Alliqua will provide you with written notice of a Termination Event.

3.     Fees .  As fees for all Services rendered by you under this letter agreement, you shall receive consulting fees (“ Consulting Fees ”) payable as follows:

(i)           Within five business days following the effectiveness of the Separation and Release Agreement, Alliqua will issue to you 8,144,719 shares (the “ Shares ”) of Alliqua’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share;

(b)   The Purchasers agree to the imprinting of the following legend on any certificate evidencing any of the Securities (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):
 
THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
 
Section 3.02   Integration . The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares and Warrants in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares and Warrants to the Purchasers.
 
Section 3.03   Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity . The Company shall, at or before 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the fourth business day following execution of this Agreement, file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the Transaction Documents, in the form required by the Exchange Act.

Section 3.04   Purchase Price Reset .

Such Dilution Adjustment shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 3.04(a) shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined below). Moreover, if at any time following the nine month anniversary of the Closing, (i) the closing sales price of the Common Stock for thirty (30) consecutive trading days is at least 200% of the Per Share Purchase Price, (ii) the product of (A) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market (as defined below) and (B) its corresponding daily trading volume, each as reported by Bloomberg L.P., equals or exceeds $50,000 for such thirty (30) consecutive trading days and (iii) the Shares that were acquired hereunder by Purchasers who are not Affiliates (as defined below) of the Company are eligible for unrestricted sale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) on the Principal Market from the six month anniversary of the Closing through at least the nine month anniversary of the Closing, this Section 3.04(a) shall become void and of no further effect and the Purchasers shall not be entitled to any future Dilution Adjustments hereunder.

Section 3.05   Acknowledgment of Dilution .  The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities under this Agreement, or the issuance of any additional securities upon an event such as is contemplated by Section 3.04 above, may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Securities is unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
 
Section 3.06   Furnishing of Information .  Until the time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports that are required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, even if the Company is not then otherwise subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.  As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
 
Section 3.07   Exercise Procedures .  The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants.  No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants.  The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

Section 3.09   Non-Public Information .  Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information or is an Affiliate of the Company.  The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
 
Section 3.10   Use of Proceeds .  The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and the Company shall not use such proceeds for (a) the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business), (b) the redemption of any Common Stock, preferred stock or Common Stock Equivalents, or (c) the settlement of any outstanding litigation.

All such warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “ Warrants .”
 
1.   Registration of Warrant .  The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of record of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
2.   Registration of Transfers .  The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein.  Upon any such registration of transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “ New Warrant ”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.  The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

3.   Exercise and Duration of Warrant .
 
(a)   This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and including the Expiration Date.  At 5:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
 
(b)   A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “ Exercise Notice ”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and only if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 9 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .”  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder; provided , however , that in the event that this Warrant is exercised in full or for the remaining unexercised portion hereof, the Holder shall deliver this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within a reasonable time after such exercise. In the event of a partial exercise of this Warrant, execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
4.   Delivery of Warrant Shares .
 
(a)   Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise.  The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. For purposes of this Warrant, “ Person ” shall mean an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.
 
(b)   This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.  Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
5.   Charges, Taxes and Expenses .   Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder.  The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
 
6.   Replacement of Warrant .  If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested.  Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.

The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
 
8.   Certain Adjustments .  The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 8 .
 
(a)   Stock Dividends and Splits .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.
 
(b)   Number of Warrant Shares .  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

9.   Payment of Exercise Price .  The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided , however , that if at any time after the one year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares on an Exercise Date, the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
 
A = the VWAP of one share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election.

(based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time); (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed on a Trading Market and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in an over the counter market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company’s board of directors acting in good faith. “ Trading Day ” means a day on which the Company’s principal Trading Market is open for trading.
 
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
