Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 2, 2012, Palatin Technologies, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) with funds under the management of QVT Financial LP (collectively, the “ QVT funds ”) relating to the issuance and sale for $35,000,000 of 3,873,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“ Common Stock ”), Series A warrants (the “ Series A Warrants ”) to purchase 31,988,151 shares of Common Stock, and Series B warrants (the “ Series B Warrants ” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “ Warrants ”) to purchase 35,488,380 shares of Common Stock.

 

The Series A Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment, and expire ten years from the date of issuance. The Series B Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment, if and when the Company’s stockholders increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock (the “ Authorized Share Increase ”), and expire ten years from the date of the Authorized Share Increase. The holders may exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis. The Warrants are subject to a blocker provision prohibiting exercise of the Warrants if the holder and its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company following such exercise (as may be adjusted to the extent set forth in the Warrant). The Warrants also provide that in the event of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants), the Company may, at the election of the Warrant holder, be required to redeem all or a portion of the Warrants at the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants). The Series B Warrants provide that if the Authorized Share Increase does not occur on or before September 30, 2012, the Company shall be required to (i) again seek an Authorized Share Increase and (ii) pay any holder of the Series B Warrants, until such time as the Authorized Share Increase occurs, interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum on the Series B Warrants. If the Authorized Share Increase does not occur on or before June 30, 2013, then upon a Put Notice (as defined in the Warrants) at the election of the Warrant holder, the Company will be required to pay a Redemption Price (as defined in the Warrants) for any and all warrants tendered.

The Purchase Agreement provides that the QVT funds shall have certain rights, so long as the QVT funds in the aggregate beneficially own specified amounts of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, and contains certain restrictive covenants in effect so long as the QVT funds continue to hold specified amounts of Warrants

and/or beneficially own specified amounts of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Purchase Agreement also contains other customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, representations of the parties and other obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The offering was entered into on July 2, 2012 and the net proceeds to the Company were approximately $34.5 million, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company and excluding the proceeds to the Company, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants to be issued in the offering.

The offering is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company has undertaken, pursuant to the registration rights agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) between the Company and the QVT funds dated July 2, 2012, to file one or more registration statements to register the Common Stock issued in the offering and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrants are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Form of Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant and the Form of Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant , copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.

The Company issued a press release on July 2, 2012 announcing the pricing of the offering, which press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On July 3, 2012, the Company issued the shares of Common Stock and the Warrants described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $35,000,000. The details of this transaction are described in Item 1.01, which is incorporated in its entirety by this reference into this Item 3.02.

 
 

The shares of Common Stock and the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act.

SERIES A COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT CERTIFICATE

 

Palatin Technologies, Inc.

 

No. Series 2012 A ___________

Number of Shares of Common Stock: _____________

Date of Issuance: July 3, 2012 (the “ Issuance Date ”)

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, _____________, the registered holder of this Warrant or its permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions set forth in this Warrant, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date , but not after 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, to subscribe for and purchase from Palatin Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to ______ shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock.

Section 1 .          Definitions . Capitalized terms used in this Warrant have the meanings set forth in this Warrant including Section 14 below; provided , however , that capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated July 2, 2012, by and among the Company, the Holder and the other investors referred to therein.

Section 2 .            Exercise .

 

a)                    Exercise of Warrant . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, the limitation set forth in Section 2(d)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A or in such other form as is satisfactory to the Company (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within two (2) Trading Days following the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price (as defined in Section 2(b)) multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 2(c)). The Holder shall not be required to surrender this Warrant in order to effect an exercise under this Warrant, unless the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available under this Warrant and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon as practicable after the date the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares 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. On or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by email or facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “ Transfer Agent ”). The Company shall deliver any objection to the Exercise Notice on or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice. In the event of any discrepancy or dispute as to the remaining number of Warrant Shares, the records of the Company and the Holder’s broker or brokers shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. On or before the third Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice , but not in any event prior to the time the Holder has delivered the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall, (X)  provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Direct Registration System (including any successor thereto, “ DRS ”) or The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (including any successor thereto, the “ FAST Program ”), upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to either the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit /Withdrawal At Custodian system, or to the Holder’s or its designee’s direct registration account, or (Y), if the Transfer Agent is not participating in either the DRS or FAST Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate (which shall be unlegended , provided that the Warrant Shares subject to the Exercise Notice are included in an effective Registration Statement or all applicable requirements of Rule 144, including the holding period thereof, are met, and subject in all cases to requirements of, and compliance with,

 

2
 

 

securities laws then in effect), registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC or DRS account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 2(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 4(b)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or governmental charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any other Attribution Party (as defined below), and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to effect any such transfer until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due. The Holder shall be responsible for all income tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares under this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase under this Warrant at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face of this Warrant.

 

b)                    Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of Common Stock issuable under this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Warrant (the “ Exercise Price ”).

 

c)                    Cashless Exercise . Upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise, the Holder can elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

 

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

                                      B

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;

 

3
 

 

B = the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice; and

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

d)                    Beneficial Ownership Limitation on Exercises . The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined below) collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the SPA Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 2(d). For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “ Reported Outstanding Share Number ”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 2(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “ Reduction Shares ”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, where such request indicates that it is being made pursuant to this Warrant, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

 

4
 

 

In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “ Excess Shares ”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% (except that such increased percentage may exceed 19.99% in the event that (x) the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market or applicable Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (y) the Company is not subject to rules of the Principal Market or applicable Eligible Market limiting issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount) as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of the SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 2(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation as contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 

As used in this Warrant, “ Attribution Parties ” means, collectively, the following Persons and entities: (i) QVT Fund IV LP, (ii) QVT Fund V LP, (iii) Quintessence Fund L.P., (iv) QVT Financial LP, (v) QVT Financial GP LLC, (vi) QVT Associates GP LLC, and (vii) any other investment vehicle, including any other funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the Issuance Date, directly or indirectly managed or advised by QVT Financial LP or any of its Affiliates or principals, (viii) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder or any of the foregoing, (ix) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a Group together with the Holder

5
 

 

or any of the foregoing and (x) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage.

 

e)                    Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

 

f)                     Failure to Timely Deliver Shares . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC or through the FAST Program for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise pursuant to an exercise on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC and   pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate. The Company shall be liable for all payments to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2(f) and such payments shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company, and the Holder shall be a creditor of the Company with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2(f).

 

Section 3 .          Certain Adjustments .

 

a)        Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time from and after the Issuance Date and while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased, or (ii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common

 

6
 

 

Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 3(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3(a) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features to the holders of the Company’s equity securities), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder as if it had been a holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitation on such exercise of this Warrant); provided , that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3(a) in any manner that is adverse to the Holder .

 

b)        Par Value . T he Company shall not subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares if it would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value of the Common Stock .

 

c)        Rights Upon Distribution of Assets . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the Issuance Date, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

 

d)        Fundamental Transaction .

 

7
 

 

                     (1)       All Fundamental Transactions .

 

(a) Upon the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction (and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction that) the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall succeed to, and the Company shall cause any Successor Entity or Successor Entities to jointly and severally succeed to, and be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Warrant.

 

(b) No later than (i) thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction or (ii) if later, the first Trading Day following the date the Company first becomes aware of the occurrence or potential occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the holders of SPA Warrants (a “ Fundamental Transaction Notice ”).

 

(c) The provisions of this Section 3(d) shall apply to each and every Fundamental Transaction and multiple Fundamental Transactions.

(b) (i) Without limiting in any manner any other rights, obligations and terms set forth in this Section 3(d) and in addition to any other rights set forth in this Section 3(d), and regardless of any provision in any agreement, contract or other document to which the Company or any Successor Entity is a party (including, without limitation the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants) that may be construed to limit the Company’s or any Successor Entity's obligation to make a payment pursuant to this paragraph, at the delivery of a request of the Holder (which request shall be made solely at the option of the Holder and the Holder has the sole right to determine whether or not to exercise such option) to the Company, the Successor Entity and/or the Successor Entities (a “ Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice ”) at any time and from time to time after the Holder becoming aware in any way of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (including through receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice), t he Company and/or the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall (i) comply with their escrow obligations as set forth in the following paragraph and (ii) pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price with respect to, as elected and determined

by the Holder solely at its option, all or a portion of the Warrant .

The Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall become liable for the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and such payment shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally , and the Holder shall be a creditor of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable upon the delivery by the Holder of the Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice. The Holder may deliver one or more Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notices pursuant to this Warrant with respect to all or any portion of the Warrant.

 

(ii) T he Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall not effect a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction unless and shall not provide for or make any payment (of cash or otherwise) relating to any such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction unless (and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that) the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall first (i) place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (the “ Fundamental Transaction Escrow Deadline ”), an amount of cash equal to the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price with respect to all SPA Warrants, to be paid by the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, in accordance with this Section 3(d)(3)(b) to holders of SPA Warrants that deliver any Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice in accordance with the preceding paragraph, and (ii) pay to the holders of SPA Warrants that deliver any Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice on or prior to the closing date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction their applicable Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice (or, if later, on the effective date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction) , the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall pay or shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to all applicable holders of SPA Warrants that have delivered a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and without affecting the amount of the actual Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of Black Scholes Value with respect to Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock shall be determined based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the funds are deposited with the escrow agent.

 

(iii) Following the receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice from the Holder, in the event that the Company or any

 

10
 

 

Successor Entity attempts to consummate a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction without placing the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price in escrow in accordance with the provisions above or without payment of the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder prior to consummation of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction until the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid to the Holder and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities agree to waive any requirement by the Holder to post any bond in connection therewith. It shall be a required condition precedent to the consummation of any Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that, and no Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction may be consummated unless, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, have either (i) complied with the escrow deposit required above or (ii) confirmed with the Holder in writing that the Holder is not requiring such escrow deposit prior to consummation of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction.

 

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(d), until the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock and any part of this Warrant not so exercised or redeemed shall retain all of the other rights set forth in this Warrant.

 

(v) The parties hereto agree that in the event of the early termination of any portion of this Warrant under this Section 3(d)(3)(b), the Holder’s actual damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict the losses of the Holder, future Common Stock market prices, other opportunities of the Holder had it not invested in this Warrant and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder . Accordingly, any payment due under this Section 3(d)(3)(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a fair and reasonable estimate of the amount required to compensate the Holder for the Holder’s loss of its investment opportunity and not a penalty. In the event that the Holder delivers a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice pursuant to a Clause C Fundamental Transaction and the Company pays in full to the Holder, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(d)(3)(b), the related Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the Holder shall not be entitled to any other payment for damages under this Warrant solely in connection with such Clause C Fundamental Transaction.

 

(c) In the event of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, if the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, then solely at the request of the Holder (and in addition to and without limiting any other right under this Warrant), such Successor Entity or Entities shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities

 

11
 

 

evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant. Such security shall be exercisable for a number of shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities (the “ Successor Capital Stock ”) equivalent (as set forth below) to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction. The number of shares of Successor Capital Stock to be delivered to Holder shall equal the quotient of (A) the Black Scholes Value of this Warrant at the time of consummation of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction divided by (B) the per share Closing Sale Price of such Successor Capital Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction. Such security shall be satisfactory to the Holder, and with an identical exercise price to the Exercise Price under this Warrant. The parties acknowledge that the determination of the number of shares of Successor Capital Stock as set forth above is for the purpose of protecting after the consummation or occurrence of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction the economic value of this Warrant that was in effect immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its option.

 

(d) Any security issuable or potentially issuable to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant upon a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction shall be registered and freely tradable by the Holder without any restriction or limitation or the requirement to be subject to any holding period pursuant to any applicable securities laws.

(4)         Clarifications . For purposes of clarification and without limiting any rights set forth in this Warrant, (i) upon any Fundamental Transaction or at any time thereafter, at the Holder’s request, the Holder shall have the right to require the Company and/or the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, to deliver upon the occurrence or consummation (and it shall be a required condition to such occurrence or consummation) of the Fundamental Transaction, in satisfaction of this Warrant (but not in lieu of Distributions and Purchase Rights still issuable under Sections 3(c) and 3(e), which shall continue to be receivable on the Common Stock or on the such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares of Common Stock) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised in full (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) with such Holder becoming a holder of such shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction; (ii) the purpose of this Section 3(d) is to assure that in all circumstances of any Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction, the Holder will have rights no worse (and, other than in connection with a

 

12
 

 

Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, no better) in any way than or adversely affected relative to or in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as those of a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) as if this Warrant had already been exercised into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction and shall not receive worse (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, better) treatment, be prejudiced or adversely affected relative to or treated in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as the treatment afforded to any holders of shares of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction by virtue of the fact that the Holder holds this Warrant rather than the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant); (iii) it is specifically intended that no Person attempt to structure a transaction in any manner to circumvent the intent of this Section 3(d) and therefore t he provisions of this Section 3(d) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this Section 3(d) or any portion of this Section 3(d) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended treatment of the Holder or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such treatment as no worse ( and, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, no better) in any way than or adversely affected relative to or in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant) in any Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction as contained in this Warrant; (iv) it is specifically intended, among other events and transactions, that any tender offer or similar transaction made with respect to the Company or 50% or more of the Common Stock shall be deemed a Fundamental Transaction under this Warrant; (v) notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Holder has an express right to receive at least the same proportion and amount of cash, if any, per Warrant Share (provided, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the rights of the Holder, solely at its option, to receive the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price entirely in cash) that each holder of a share of Common Stock is entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity or Successor Entities, upon any Fundamental Transaction (such as a cash merger or cash tender offer) where cash comprises any portion of the applicable consideration or payment, that it would have been entitled to receive had it exercised this Warrant prior to the Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction ( without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant ); and (vi) the provisions of this Section 3(d) may not be waived, modified or otherwise implemented otherwise than in strict conformity with the intention of this Section 3(d) and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant and any Successor Entity or Successor Entities .

f)         Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

Section 2 .           Exercise .

a)            Exercise of Warrant . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, the limitation set forth in Section 2(d)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Authorized Shares Increase Date, in whole or in part (but not as to fractional shares), by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A or in such other form as is satisfactory to the Company (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within two (2) Trading Days following the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall make payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price (as defined in Section 2(b)) multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 2(c)). The Holder shall not be required to surrender this Warrant in order to effect an exercise under this Warrant , unless the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available under this Warrant and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon as practicable after the date the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares 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. On or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by email or facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “ Transfer Agent ”). The Company shall deliver any objection to the Exercise Notice on or before the second Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice. In the event of any discrepancy or dispute as to the remaining number of Warrant Shares, the records of the Company and the Holder’s broker or brokers shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. On or before the third Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice , but not in any event prior to the time the Holder has delivered the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall, (X)  provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Direct Registration System (including any successor thereto, “ DRS ”) or The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (including any successor thereto, the “ FAST Program ”), upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to either the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit /Withdrawal At Custodian system, or to the Holder’s or its designee’s direct registration account, or (Y), if the Transfer Agent is not participating in either the DRS or FAST Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate (which shall be unlegended , provided that the Warrant Shares subject to the Exercise Notice are included in an effective Registration Statement or all applicable requirements of Rule 144, including the holding period thereof, are met, and subject in all cases to requirements of, and compliance with,

2
 

 

securities laws then in effect), registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC or DRS account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 2(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 4(b)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. The Company shall pay any and all taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or governmental charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or any other Attribution Party (as defined below), and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to effect any such transfer until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due. The Holder shall be responsible for all income tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares under this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase under this Warrant at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face of this Warrant.

b)            Exercise Price . The exercise price per share of Common Stock issuable under this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Warrant (the “ Exercise Price ”).

c)            Cashless Exercise . Upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise, the Holder can elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

                                     B

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;

 

3
 

  

B = the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice; and

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

d)           Beneficial Ownership Limitation on Exercises . The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Holder together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined below) collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the SPA Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 2(d). For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “ Reported Outstanding Share Number ”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify such Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 2(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “ Reduction Shares ”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, where such request indicates that it is being made pursuant to this Warrant, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

4
 

 

In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “ Excess Shares ”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% (except that such increased percentage may exceed 19.99% in the event that (x) the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market or applicable Eligible Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount or (y) the Company is not subject to rules of the Principal Market or applicable Eligible Market limiting issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess of such amount) as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of the SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 2(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation as contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

As used in this Warrant, “ Attribution Parties ” means, collectively, the following Persons and entities: (i) QVT Fund IV LP, (ii) QVT Fund V LP, (iii) Quintessence Fund L.P., (iv) QVT Financial LP, (v) QVT Financial GP LLC, (vi) QVT Associates GP LLC, and (vii) any other investment vehicle, including any other funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the Issuance Date, directly or indirectly managed or advised by QVT Financial LP or any of its Affiliates or principals, (viii) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder or any of the foregoing, (ix) any Person acting or who could be deemed to be acting as a Group together with the Holder

5
 

 

 or any of the foregoing and (x) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For clarity, the purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage.

e)           Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

f)            Failure to Timely Deliver Shares . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC or through the FAST Program for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise pursuant to an exercise on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate or credit such Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DRS or DTC and   pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate. The Company shall be liable for all payments to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2(f) and such payments shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company, and the Holder shall be a creditor of the Company with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2(f).

Section 3 .           Certain Adjustments .

a)        Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time from and after the Issuance Date and while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased, or (ii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common

6
 

 

 Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 3(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3(a) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features to the holders of the Company’s equity securities), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights of the Holder as if it had been a holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitation on such exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective); provided , that no such adjustment will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3(a) in any manner that is adverse to the Holder .

b)        Par Value . The Company shall not subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares if it would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value of the Common Stock .

c)        Rights Upon Distribution of Assets . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the Issuance Date, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

(b)           No later than (i) thirty (30) days prior to the occurrence or consummation of any Fundamental Transaction or (ii) if later, the first Trading Day following the date the Company first becomes aware of the occurrence or potential occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the holders of SPA Warrants (a “ Fundamental Transaction Notice ”).

(c)           The provisions of this Section 3(d) shall apply to each and every Fundamental Transaction and multiple Fundamental Transactions.

(2)            Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transactions .

(a)          Immediately upon exercise of this Warrant following the occurrence or consummation of a Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), which for purposes of clarification may continue to be shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective ), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

(c)          It shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that, under no circumstances may the Holder be treated better or in a manner more advantageous than the holders of shares of Common Stock in such Non-Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction pursuant to the terms of this Section 3(d).

(3)           Company Controlled Fundamental Transactions .

(a)          Upon occurrence or consummation of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall deliver to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant immediately upon the occurrence or consummation of Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or at any time thereafter, as elected by the Holder solely at its option, (i) shares of Common Stock or Successor Capital Stock, (ii) such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights), which for purposes of clarification may continue to be shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective ), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, or (iii) pursuant to and in accordance with the following paragraph, a cash payment equal to the Black Scholes Value of the elected portion of this Warrant (or, at the election of the Holder, any elected portion of this Warrant) .

(b)           (i) Without limiting in any manner any other rights, obligations and terms set forth in this Section 3(d) and in addition to any other rights set forth in this Section 3(d), and regardless of any provision in any agreement, contract or other document to which the Company or any Successor Entity is a party (including, without limitation the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants) that may be construed to limit the Company’s or any Successor Entity’s obligation to make a payment pursuant to this paragraph, at the delivery of a request of the Holder (which request shall be made solely at the option of the Holder and the Holder has the sole right to determine whether or not to exercise such option) to the Company, the Successor Entity and/or the Successor

9
 

Entities (a “ Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice ”) at any time and from time to time after the Holder becoming aware in any way of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (including through receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Notice), t he Company and/or the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall (i) comply with their escrow obligations as set forth in the following paragraph and (ii) pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price with respect to, as elected and determined by the Holder solely at its option, all or a portion of the Warrant . The Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion (which may be all of this Warrant) of this Warrant with respect to which the Holder is electing to receive the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. The Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall become liable for the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and such payment shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally , and the Holder shall be a creditor of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable upon the delivery by the Holder of the Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice. The Holder may deliver one or more Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notices pursuant to this Warrant with respect to all or any portion of the Warrant.

(ii) The Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall not effect a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction unless and shall not provide for or make any payment (of cash or otherwise) relating to any such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction unless (and it shall be a required condition to the occurrence or consummation of any Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that) the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall first (i) place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the closing date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (the “ Fundamental Transaction Escrow Deadline ”), an amount of cash equal to the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price with respect to all SPA Warrants, to be paid by the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, in accordance with this Section 3(d)(3)(b) to holders of SPA Warrants that deliver any Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice in accordance with the preceding paragraph, and (ii) pay to the holders of SPA Warrants that deliver any Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice on or prior to the closing date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction their applicable Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice (or, if later, on the effective date of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction) , the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, shall pay or shall instruct the escrow agent to pay the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to all applicable holders of SPA Warrants that have delivered a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and without affecting the amount of the actual Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of Black Scholes Value with respect to Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock shall be determined based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the funds are deposited with the escrow agent.

10
 

(iii) Following the receipt of a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice from the Holder, in the event that the Company or any Successor Entity attempts to consummate a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction without placing the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price in escrow in accordance with the provisions above or without payment of the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder prior to consummation of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction until the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid to the Holder and the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities agree to waive any requirement by the Holder to post any bond in connection therewith. It shall be a required condition precedent to the consummation of any Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction that, and no Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction may be consummated unless, the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, have either (i) complied with the escrow deposit required above or (ii) confirmed with the Holder in writing that the Holder is not requiring such escrow deposit prior to consummation of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(d), until the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock and any part of this Warrant not so exercised or redeemed shall retain all of the other rights set forth in this Warrant.

(v) The parties hereto agree that in the event of the early termination of any portion of this Warrant under this Section 3(d)(3)(b), the Holder’s actual damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict the losses of the Holder, future Common Stock market prices, other opportunities of the Holder had it not invested in this Warrant and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder . Accordingly, any payment due under this Section 3(d)(3)(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a fair and reasonable estimate of the amount required to compensate the Holder for the Holder’s loss of its investment opportunity and not a penalty. In the event that the Holder delivers a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice pursuant to a Clause C Fundamental Transaction and the Company pays in full to the Holder, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(d)(3)(b), the related Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the Holder shall not be entitled to any other payment for damages under this Warrant solely in connection with such Clause C Fundamental Transaction.

11
 

(c)           In the event of a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, if the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, then solely at the request of the Holder (and in addition to and without limiting any other right under this Warrant), such Successor Entity or Entities shall deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant. Such security shall be exercisable for a number of shares of capital stock of the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities (the “ Successor Capital Stock ”) equivalent (as set forth below) to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective ) prior to such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction. The number of shares of Successor Capital Stock to be delivered to Holder shall equal the quotient of (A) the Black Scholes Value of this Warrant at the time of consummation of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction divided by (B) the per share Closing Sale Price of such Successor Capital Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of the Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction. Such security shall be satisfactory to the Holder, and with an identical exercise price to the Exercise Price under this Warrant. The parties acknowledge that the determination of the number of shares of Successor Capital Stock as set forth above is for the purpose of protecting after the consummation or occurrence of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction the economic value of this Warrant that was in effect immediately prior to the consummation or occurrence of such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, as elected by the Holder solely at its option.

(d)           Any security issuable or potentially issuable to the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant upon a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction shall be registered and freely tradable by the Holder without any restriction or limitation or the requirement to be subject to any holding period pursuant to any applicable securities laws.

(4)            Clarifications . For purposes of clarification and without limiting any rights set forth in this Warrant, (i) upon any Fundamental Transaction or at any time thereafter, at the Holder’s request, the Holder shall have the right to require the Company and/or the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, to deliver upon the occurrence or consummation (and it shall be a required condition to such occurrence or consummation) of the Fundamental Transaction, in satisfaction of this Warrant (but not in lieu of Distributions and Purchase Rights still issuable under Sections 3(c) and 3(e), which shall continue to be receivable on the Common Stock or on the such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property otherwise receivable with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock), such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares of Common Stock) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in

such Fundamental Transaction, had this Warrant been exercised in full (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective ) with such Holder becoming a holder of such shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction; (ii) the purpose of this Section 3(d) is to assure that in all circumstances of any Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction, the Holder will have rights no worse (and, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, no better) in any way than or adversely affected relative to or in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as those of a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective ) as if this Warrant had already been exercised into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective) prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction and shall not receive worse (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, better) treatment, be prejudiced or adversely affected relative to or treated in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as the treatment afforded to any holders of shares of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction by virtue of the fact that the Holder holds this Warrant rather than the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective); (iii) it is specifically intended that no Person attempt to structure a transaction in any manner to circumvent the intent of this Section 3(d) and therefore t he provisions of this Section 3(d) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this Section 3(d) or any portion of this Section 3(d) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended treatment of the Holder or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such treatment as no worse ( and, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, no better) in any way than or adversely affected relative to or in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective) in any Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction as contained in this Warrant; (iv) it is specifically intended, among other events and transactions, that any tender offer or similar transaction made with respect to the Company or 50% or more of the Common Stock shall be deemed a Fundamental Transaction under this Warrant; (v) notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant that may be interpreted to the contrary, the Holder has an express right to receive at least the same proportion and amount of cash, if

 

13
 

 

any, per Warrant Share (provided, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the rights of the Holder, solely at its option, to receive the Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price entirely in cash) that each holder of a share of Common Stock is entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity or Successor Entities, upon any Fundamental Transaction (such as a cash merger or cash tender offer) where cash comprises any portion of the applicable consideration or payment, that it would have been entitled to receive had it exercised this Warrant prior to the Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction ( without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective); (vi) the provisions of this Section 3(d) may not be waived, modified or otherwise implemented otherwise than in strict conformity with the intention of this Section 3(d) and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant and any Successor Entity or Successor Entities; and (vii) notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or contract that could in any way be read to limit the right of the Holder to elect and receive at any time in perpetuity any payments pursuant to Section 5(a) , no provision of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or contract shall limit the rights of the Holder (including, without limitation, the right to receive any Redemption Price) to receive at any time in perpetuity any payments pursuant to Section 5(a).

(5)           Section 5(a) Payment Obligation . Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 3(d) or anywhere else in this Warrant or in any other Transaction Document, nothing in this Section 3(d) or anywhere else in this Warrant or in any other Transaction Document shall limit the rights of the Holder (including, without limitation, the right to receive any Redemption Price) pursuant to Section 5(a).

e)        Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3 above, if at any time after the Issuance Date and prior to the Expiration Date the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights ( provided , however , that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time or times as its right

14
 

thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

f)        Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

Section 4 . Transfer of Warrant .

a)       Transferability . Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights under this Warrant are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with the Assignment Form, in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit B or in such other form as is satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and, if any, funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.

Section 5 .           Increase in Authorized Capital and Reservation of Warrant Shares .

a)       Increase in Authorized Common Stock .

(1)           Following the Issuance Date, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to call a meeting of its stockholders (the “ Stockholders Meeting ”), as soon as practicable, but in no event later than September 30, 2012 (the “ First Authorized Shares Increase Deadline ”), for the purpose of seeking approval of the Company’s stockholders to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Company’s authorized Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to no less than 200,000,000 shares (the “ Increased Shares Stockholder Approval ”). No later than one (1) Trading Day following the Increased Shares Stockholder Approval, the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of Delaware a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Increased Shares Stockholder Approval such that the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock is at least 200,000,000 shares, which certificate of amendment shall provide that it shall become immediately effective upon filing (such filing, the “ Amendment Filing ”, and the occurrence of both the Increased Shares Stockholder Approval and the Amendment Filing, the “ Increased Shares Amendment ”). The date on which the Increased Shares Amendment becomes effective is referred to in this Warrant as the “ Authorized Shares Increase Date ”. Without limiting the Company’s obligations under this Section 5, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be prohibited from calling additional Stockholders Meetings from time to time.

(2)         If the Authorized Shares Increase Date has not occurred on or prior to the First Authorized Shares Increase Deadline, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to call one or more other Stockholders Meetings, as soon as practicable and as often as practicable, but in no event later than June 30, 2013 (the “ Second Authorized Shares Increase Deadline ”), for the purpose of again seeking approval of the Company’s stockholders for the Increased Shares Stockholder Approval.

(3)          If the Authorized Shares Increase Date has not occurred on or prior to the First Authorized Shares Increase Deadline, and notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or contract that could in any way be read to limit the right of the Holder to elect and receive the following, the Holder at any time and from time to time thereafter (in perpetuity and with no limitation in time) may require the Company, by delivering one or more notices in writing (each a “ Put Notice ” and the date of each such Put Notice, a “ Put Notice Date ”), to redeem this Warrant (or, at the option of the Holder, any portion of this Warrant) in full (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant), by paying to the Holder cash (the “ Redemption Price ”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares set forth by the Holder in each applicable Put Notice and (ii) the highest Redemption Price Average on any Trading Day during the Put Period. Such Redemption Price shall be paid (i) in the event of a Put Notice delivered prior to June 30, 2013, on June 30, 2013, and (ii) in the event of a Put Notice delivered on or after June 30, 2013, within five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Put Notice Date.

16
 

(4)           At any time and from time to time (in perpetuity and with no limitation in time) after delivering any Put Notice (including, without limitation, at any time and from time to time prior to or after the Second Authorized Shares Increase Deadline), the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to deliver a notice to the Company (the “ Withdrawal Put Notice ”), withdrawing any specified Put Notice previously delivered pursuant to this Warrant and such withdrawal shall be immediately effective, unless otherwise specified in such Withdrawal Put Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of any Withdrawal Put Notice shall not prejudice in any respect the right of the Holder to deliver any future Put Notice even as to the same Warrant Shares covered by the withdrawn Put Notices.

(5)           The Company shall become liable for the applicable Redemption Price relating to any Put Notice immediately following the applicable Put Notice Date and such amounts shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company, and the Holder shall be a creditor of the Company with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable upon the delivery by the Holder of the applicable Put Notice.

(6)             Each time the Company seeks the approval of its stockholders for the Increased Shares Stockholder Approval, the Company’s Board of Directors shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders that the stockholders vote in favor of the Increased Shares Stockholder Approval at the Stockholders Meeting and take all commercially reasonable action to solicit the approval of the stockholders for the Increased Shares Stockholder Approval, including filing a proxy statement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and complying with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in relation to such proxy statement and any form of proxy to be sent to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Stockholders Meeting.

(7)           The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s failure to adopt the Increased Shares Amendment in accordance with the terms of this Section 5(a), the Holder’s actual damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict the losses of the Holder, future Common Stock market prices, other opportunities of the Holder had it not invested in this Warrant and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any payment due under this Section 5(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a fair and reasonable estimate of the amount required to compensate the Holder for the Holder’s loss of its investment opportunity as a result of the Company’s failure to perform and not a penalty.

17
 

(8)            If the Authorized Shares Increase Date has not occurred on or prior to the First Authorized Shares Increase Deadline, then (in addition to all other rights the Holder has under this Warrant, including without limitation, this Section 5(a)) until either (x) the occurrence of the Authorized Shares Increase Date or (y) such time that no Series B Warrants are outstanding (such period, the “ Interest Accrual Period ”), the Company shall be obligated to pay a cash amount to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Interest Amount. Any accrued and unpaid Interest Amount shall be paid semi-annually on each January 1 and July 1 (each such period, commencing as for the first payment of the Interest Amount pursuant to this Section on the Issuance Date, and otherwise commencing on the date of the payment of the immediately preceding Interest Amount in accordance with this Section, an “ Interest Period ”) during the Interest Accrual Period. For purposes of this Section 5(a)(8), “ Interest Amount ” shall mean an amount calculated at 10% per annum of the product of (i) the number of shares underlying the Series B Warrants outstanding during the applicable Interest Period (pro rated for Series B Warrants outstanding for part of the applicable Interest Period) and (ii) the greater of (x) $0.50 (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations, reorganizations or similar events as necessary to preserve the economic amount that would result if no such event occurred) and (y) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day during the applicable Interest Period. The Company shall become liable for the Interest Amount and such amounts shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company, and the Holder shall be a creditor of the Company with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable when due pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.

(9)           Notwithstanding any provision of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or contract that could in any way be read to limit the right of the Holder to elect and receive at any time in perpetuity any payments pursuant to this Section 5(a) , no provision of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or contract shall limit the rights of the Holder (including, without limitation, the right to receive any Redemption Price) to receive at any time in perpetuity any payments pursuant to this Section 5(a).

b)        Reservation . The Company covenants that it will at all times on and after the Authorized Shares Increase Date reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as provided in this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant and taking into account the adjustments and restrictions in Section 3), free from preemptive or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder . The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, will be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided in this Warrant 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.

The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c)       Noncircumvention .

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) shall, from and after the Authorized Shares Increase Date and for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of this Warrant).

d)       Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted in this Warrant shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next Business Day.

e)       Governing Law and Jurisdiction . This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute under this Warrant or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated in this Warrant or discussed in this Warrant, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE UNDER THIS WARRANT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY .

If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within five Trading Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two Trading Days submit via email or facsimile (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than 10 Trading Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.

k)        Remedies .

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1               Transfer Restrictions .

(a)                 The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 (in connection with which the Company may require the Purchaser to provide reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

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

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

(c)                 Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares, or the applicable portion thereof, shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) once a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Shares and the Warrant Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. At the Purchaser’s request, for the applicable portion of the Shares and Warrant Shares, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent within two (2) Trading Days after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. When the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date of a Registration Statement with respect to the Shares and Warrant Shares registered on such Registration Statement, or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of (A) a certificate representing the applicable portion of the Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend and (B) to the extent the Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company (it being agreed and acknowledged that the Purchaser shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Company at any time that the Purchaser Condition is satisfied) any documentation reasonably requested by the Company demonstrating such Purchaser’s compliance with all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 (such third (3rd) Trading Day, the “ Legend Removal Date ”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to such Purchaser of the Securities on or before the Legend Removal Date a certificate without such legend or to issue such Securities to such Purchaser by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, and if on or after such Trading Day the Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Purchaser of such Securities that the Purchaser anticipated receiving without legend from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company

27
 

shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Purchaser’s request and in the Purchaser’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such unlegended Securities shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Purchaser such unlegended Securities or to issue such Securities to such Purchaser by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC as provided above and pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Weighted Average Price (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock on the Legend Removal Date. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by (X) upon the request of the Purchaser, crediting the Purchaser’s or its designee’s balance account with the DTC through DWAC, or to the Purchaser’s or its designee’s direct registration account, provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DRS or FAST Program, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in either the DRS or FAST Program, issuing and dispatching by overnight courier to the address as specified in the notice section hereof, a certificate registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Purchaser.

(d)                Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement (including the Registration Statement), they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

4.2               Continued Registration; Public Information . Until such time that the Purchaser owns no Securities, the Company covenants to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and 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, including without limitation, under Rule 144.

4.3               Integration . The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities such that it would require stockholder approval for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market or otherwise unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

28

For the avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser’s ownership of any or all of the Securities shall be taken into account when calculating such Purchaser’s percentage ownership in the Company and shall not count towards any ownership threshold for purposes of any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement), or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or the laws of its state of incorporation (including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law).

If a Purchaser has, or believes it has, received any such material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or the Subsidiary from the Company, the Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates or agents, it may provide the Company with written notice thereof. The Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of such notice, make public disclosure of such material, nonpublic information. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information.

In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. The Company shall be liable for all payments to each Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.16 and such payments shall be a liability and debt obligation of the Company, and each Purchaser shall be a creditor of the Company with respect to such obligation, that is immediately due and payable pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 4.16.

(i)                  If the Company desires to raise any capital, incur any Indebtedness or otherwise effect any Subsequent Placement, the Company shall give notice of such desired Subsequent Placement (the “ Subsequent Placement Notice ”) to the Purchasers prior to the Company or any representative of the Company contacting or entering into any discussions with any other Person with respect to any such desired Subsequent Placement. For a period of ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Subsequent Placement Notice (the “ Subsequent Placement Structuring Period ”), the Company shall negotiate in good faith and provide the Purchasers the opportunity to structure and negotiate with the Company a Subsequent Placement on terms mutually acceptable to the Company and the Purchasers.

(ii)                If the Company and the Purchasers do not agree to terms of a Subsequent Placement during the Subsequent Placement Structuring Period, during the twenty (20) Business Day period following the Subsequent Placement Structuring Period the Company may contact other investors or agents about a potential Subsequent Placement. Prior to entering into any Subsequent Placement with any Person other than the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser an irrevocable written notice (the “ Offer Notice ”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “ Offer ”) of the securities or Indebtedness being offered (the “ Offered Placement ”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Purchasers at least 55% of the Offered Placement (the “ Purchaser Amount ”), in each instance allocated among such Purchasers as indicated by the Purchasers, (x) identify and describe the Offered Placement, (y) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the securities or Indebtedness comprising the Offered Placement to be issued, sold or exchanged and (z) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the securities or Indebtedness comprising the Offered Placement are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged (the “ Basic Amount ”).

(iii)              To accept an Offer, whether of the entirety of the Purchaser Amount or a portion thereof, such Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the tenth (10 th ) Business Day after such Purchaser’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “ Offer Period ”), setting forth the portion of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Amount, which may be all or any portion of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Amount, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (the “ Notice of Acceptance ”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to the Purchasers a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the tenth (10 th ) Business Day after such Purchaser’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.

(iv)              The Company shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to consummate the Subsequent Placement with respect to all or any part of such Offered Placement as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchasers (the “ Refused Placement ”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “ Subsequent Placement Agreement ”) but only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice.

36
 

(v)                In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than 80% of all the securities or Indebtedness comprising the Refused Placement (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4.18(a)(iv) above), then prior to the end of the fifth (5 th ) Business Day after such Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of the Company’s proposal to sell such reduced amount of securities or Indebtedness comprising the Refused Placement, each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the securities or Indebtedness comprising the Offered Placement specified in its Notice of Acceptance or revoke its Notice of Acceptance. In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than 100% but 80% or more of all the securities or Indebtedness comprising the Refused Placement (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4.18(a)(iv) above), then prior to the end of the fifth (5 th ) Business Day after such Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of the Company’s proposal to sell such reduced amount of securities or Indebtedness comprising the Refused Placement, each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, proportionally reduce the number or amount of the securities or Indebtedness comprising the Offered Placement specified in its Notice of Acceptance. In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of securities or Indebtedness comprising the Offered Placement specified in its Notice of Acceptance or revoke its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Placement unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.18(a)(ii) above.

(vi)              Any securities or Indebtedness comprising the Offered Placement not acquired by the Purchasers or other Persons in accordance with Section 4.18(a)(iv) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Purchasers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

(vii)            The purchase by the Purchasers of any securities or Indebtedness comprising the Offered Placement is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchasers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Placement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchasers and their respective counsel. The Company and the Purchasers agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “ Subsequent Placement Documents ”) shall include any term or provisions whereby any Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such Purchaser prior to such Subsequent Placement.

(viii)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.18 and unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchasers, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Purchasers that the transaction with respect to the proposed Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to consummate the transactions contemplated by the proposed Subsequent Placement, in either case in a manner such that the Purchasers will not be in possession of material non-public information, by the twentieth (20 th ) Business Day following delivery of any Subsequent Placement Notice or Offer Notice. If by the twentieth (20 th ) Business Day following delivery of any Subsequent Placement Notice or an Offer Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the proposed Subsequent Placement has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Purchasers, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Purchasers shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the proposed Subsequent Placement, the Company shall provide each Purchaser with another Subsequent Placement Notice and, if applicable, another Offer Notice and each Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4.18(a). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one Subsequent Placement Notice or Offer Notice to the Purchasers in any forty (40) Business Day period.

37
 

(b) The restrictions contained in this Section 4.18 shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all rights of any Purchaser set forth in this Section 4.18 shall be assignable at the election of any Purchaser to one or more of any Purchaser’s Affiliates, but not otherwise. For purposes of clarification, the provisions of this Section 4.18 are to apply to any Subsequent Placement, including multiple Subsequent Placements, whether related or unrelated, during the period covered hereby.

4.19           Fundamental Transactions . The Company covenants and agrees while any Warrants are outstanding, it (i) will not permit (to the extent within its control), (ii) will take all necessary action to prevent both the occurrence or consummation of (including, without limitation, adopting a poison pill or other similar anti-takeover provision or method) and the requirement to make any payment or adjustment or issue any shares of Common Stock or other securities with respect to, and (iii) will not be party to, any fundamental transaction, change of control or similar event, or an event that with the passage of time could result in a fundamental transaction, change of control or similar event under any agreement (including, without limitation, any employment agreement), outstanding security (including, without limitation, any option or warrant to purchase Common Stock) or other instrument or make any announcement of any of the foregoing. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting in any manner any other rights of the Purchasers or obligations of the Company set forth in any of the Transaction Documents, in the event the Company learns of any third party attempting or seeking to take action to cause a fundamental transaction, change of control or similar event (including, without limitation, through a tender or exchange offer), or an event that with the passage of time could result in a fundamental transaction, change of control or similar event (including, without limitation, through a tender or exchange offer) under any agreement (including, without limitation, any employment agreement), outstanding security (including, without limitation, any option or warrant to purchase Common Stock) or other instrument, that does not conform to the requirements of the Transaction Documents and that does not afford or grant the Purchasers all of the rights and payments they would receive in a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (including, without limitation, any payments they would receive if they were holders of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitation

38
 

on the exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had been adopted and become effective)), subject to the exercise by the Board of Directors of the Company of its fiduciary duties in accordance with applicable law, the Company covenants and agrees to take all reasonable efforts to adopt a poison pill, and to the extent that any previously adopted poison pill ceases to be effective, to re-adopt a poison pill, or any other anti-takeover provision or method necessary to prevent such fundamental transaction, change of control or similar event (including, without limitation, through a tender or exchange offer), or event that with the passage of time could result in a fundamental transaction, change of control or similar event (including, without limitation, through a tender or exchange offer) under any agreement or other instrument, that does not conform to the requirements of the Transaction Documents and that does not afford or grant the Purchasers all of the rights and payments they would receive in a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (including, without limitation, any payments they would receive if they were holders of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had been adopted and become effective)). In addition, in no event will the Company permit any Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction if after such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction any Series B Warrant will not be fully exercisable without limitation by reason of there being insufficient authorized and reserved capital stock of any applicable Successor Entity or Successor Entities involved in such Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction. The Company covenants and agrees while any Warrants are outstanding, that it will not permit, will take all necessary action to prevent (including, without limitation, adopting a poison pill or other similar anti-takeover provision), and will not be party to, any Fundamental Transaction unless the Company and each applicable acquirer or beneficial owner of securities that is directly or indirectly party to or associated with any applicable Fundamental Transaction, including each Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally agrees (x) to the requirements and other provisions set forth in the Warrants, including, without limitation, Section 3(d) thereto and all requirements to issue cash, securities (including, without limitation any options or warrants to purchase Common Stock) or other assets thereunder, and (y) to treat each holder of the Warrants (each, a “ Holder ”) in all respects no worse than as if such Holder was a holder of Warrant Shares and no worse (and, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants), no better) than its treatment of any other holder of shares of Common Stock. For purposes of clarification, the foregoing shall mean that no Fundamental Transaction shall occur or be consummated unless (i) to the extent set forth in the Warrants, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company and/or the Successor Entity and/or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, to deliver upon the occurrence or consummation, and it shall be a required condition to such occurrence or consummation, of the Fundamental Transaction or at any time thereafter, in satisfaction of the Warrants, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights and any shares of Common Stock) which each Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event

39
 

resulting in such Fundamental Transaction, had the Warrants been exercised in full (without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective) with such Holder becoming a holder of such shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction; (ii) it is recognized that the purpose of this Section 4.19 is to assure that in all circumstances of any Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction, each Holder will have rights pursuant to the terms of the Warrants no worse (and, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, no better) in any way than or adversely affected relative to or in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as those of a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective) as if the Warrants had already been exercised into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective) prior to such Fundamental Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction and shall not receive worse (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, better) treatment, be prejudiced or adversely affected relative to (or treated in any manner not as advantageous or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as the treatment afforded to any holders of shares of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction by virtue of the fact that a Holder holds a Warrant rather than the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective); (iii) it is specifically intended that no Person attempt to structure a transaction in any manner to circumvent the intent of this Section 4.19 and therefore the provisions of this Section 4.19 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4.19 and pursuant to the terms of the Warrants to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion hereof which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended treatment of each Holder, or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such treatment, as no worse (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, no better) in any way than or adversely effected relative to or in any manner not as advantageous (or, other than in connection with a Company Controlled Fundamental Transaction, disadvantageous) as a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective) in any Fundamental Transaction or similar corporate type transaction as herein contained; (iv) it is specifically intended, among other events and transactions, that any tender offer or similar transaction made with respect to the Company or 50% or more of the Common Stock is deemed a Fundamental Transaction under the Warrants; (v) it is acknowledged that notwithstanding any provision that may be interpreted to the contrary, as provided in the Warrants each Holder has an express right to receive at least the same proportion and amount of cash, if any, per Warrant Share (provided, that the foregoing shall in no way limit the rights of the Holder to get any Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined in the Warrants) entirely in cash) that each holder of a share of Common Stock is entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity or Successor Entities, upon any Fundamental Transaction (such as a cash merger or cash tender offer) where cash comprises any portion of the applicable consideration or payment, that they would have been entitled to receive had they exercised their SPA Warrants prior to the Fundamental

40
 

Transaction or the record, eligibility or other determination date for the event resulting in such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of such date, been adopted and become effective); (vi) it is acknowledged that the provisions of this Section 4.19 may not be waived, modified or otherwise implemented otherwise than in strict conformity with the intention hereof and shall apply to a successor holder of the Warrants and any Successor Entity or Successor Entities, and (vii) notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Warrants or any other agreement or contract that could in any way be read to limit the right of any Holder to elect and receive at any time in perpetuity any payments pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Warrants, no provision of this Agreement, the Warrants or any other agreement or contract shall limit the rights of any Holder (including, without limitation, the right to receive any Redemption Price (as defined in the Warrants)) to receive at any time in perpetuity any payments pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Warrants. The Purchasers shall be third party beneficiaries to any agreements between the Company and any applicable Successor Entity in order to give effect to this Section 4.19.

4.20           Subdivisions . So long as any Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall not subdivide (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or take any other action or otherwise allow the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants) of the Warrants to be less than the par value of the Common Stock.

4.21           Contrary Positions . The Company covenants and agrees not to take any position contrary to (x) the representations set forth in Section 3.1(hh) and Section 3.1(jj), as if each such representation was made on any date from and after the Closing Date assuming (i) the facts and circumstances that exist as of the Closing Date are not materially changed by a Purchaser and (ii) with respect to the representation in clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 3.1(jj), the Purchaser Condition is satisfied or (y) any of its other representations set forth herein, as if each such representation was made on the Closing Date, assuming the facts and circumstances that exist as of the Closing Date with respect to such representations are not materially changed. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to Section 3.1(hh) neither an exercise of any or all of the Warrants (assuming the exercise in full of the Warrants without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increased Shares Amendment had, as of the date hereof, been adopted and become effective) nor any waiver of Section 2(d) of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof shall be deemed to be a material change in the facts and circumstances that exist as of the Closing Date.

4.22           No Stock Buy-Backs, Dividends or Purchase Rights . So long as any Purchaser holds any of the Securities, the Company shall not redeem, repurchase or otherwise reduce the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. So long as the Purchasers in the aggregate beneficially own Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents equal to or convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, into at least 20% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated as if the Warrants were exercised in full without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increase Shares Amendment has been adopted and become effective), the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit its Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, (x) declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to any or all holders of its Common Stock, capital stock or Common Stock Equivalents, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) or (y) grant, issue or sell any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of its capital stock or Common Stock Equivalents.

41
 

4.23           Existence of Liens . So long as the Purchasers in the aggregate beneficially own Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents equal to or convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, into at least 20% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (calculated as if the Warrants were exercised in full without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants and as if the Increase Shares Amendment has been adopted and become effective), the Company shall not, and the Company shall not permit its Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any Lien other than Permitted Liens.

4.24           Amendments and Future Agreements . So long as any Purchaser holds any of the Warrants, the Company shall not (i) amend, waive, modify or terminate any provision of any outstanding securities (including, without limitation, any warrants) or (ii) be party to any transaction, including any contract, agreement or other arrangement or issue any security (including, without limitation, any option or warrant to purchase Common Stock) or other instrument with a provision or term (including, without limitation, any fundamental transaction, change of control or similar event provision) which in any way restricts the Company’s ability to issue, or is in any way triggered by, or could require the Company to make any payment or adjustment or issue any shares of Common Stock or other securities as a result of, the Company’s issuance of, any of the Securities to the Purchasers hereunder or under the Warrants.

43
 

5.9               Governing Law and Jurisdiction . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. 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 via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for 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 be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

5.10           Execution . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

5.11           Severability . If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

5.12           Replacement of Securities . If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction, and, if requested by the Company, the posting of a customary bond. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

44
 

5.13           Remedies . In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. The Company therefore agrees that the Holders shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. In the event that the Purchaser delivers a Fundamental Transaction Early Termination Notice (as defined in the Warrants) pursuant to a Clause C Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) and the Company pays in full to the Purchaser, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 3(d) of the Warrants, the related Fundamental Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price (as defined in the Warrants), the Purchaser shall not be entitled to any other payment for damages hereunder with respect to such redeemed Warrants solely in connection with such Clause C Fundamental Transaction.

5.14           Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled, at its own expense, to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.

5.15           Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.16           Construction . The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

45
 

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

9
 

 

and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(c) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus.

(n)            The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Holder provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Holder and allow such Holder, at the Holder’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

 

(o)            If reasonably requested by a Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as a Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by a Holder holding any Registrable Securities.

 

(p)            The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

(q)            The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered by the earning statement referenced immediately hereafter, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the date the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective.

 

(r)            Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation in writing that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission.

 

12
 

 

(s)            Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof shall identify any Holder as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the Commission or any Trading Market and any Holder being deemed an underwriter by the Commission shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document ; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Annex A in the Registration Statement .

 

(t)            The Company shall not file any other registration statements until, or grant registration rights to any Person that can be exercised prior to, the date that is the later to occur of (I) the date (i) all Shares, (ii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Series A Warrants) and (iii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any outstanding Series B Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Series B Warrants) either are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective and is effective by the Commission or may be sold without any restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and (II) the Authorized Shares Increase Date (as defined in the Series B Warrants) or the date that no Series B Warrants are outstanding, provided that this Section 3(t) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments (pre-effective and post-effective) to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement; provided that no such amendment shall increase the number of securities registered on a registration statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3(t) to the contrary, the Company shall be permitted to file a registration statement registering up to 350,000 shares of Common Stock ( as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, reclassification or other similar transaction after the Subscription Date) issuable upon exercise of those certain warrants issued to Noble International Investments, Inc. on November 9, 2011 and to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC on January 24, 2012 (collectively, the “ Financial Advisors Shares ”).

 

(u)            In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities and the Financial Advisors Shares on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities; provided , however , that in the event the Commission requires the number of shares of Common Stock included in any Registration Statement to be cut back because of Rule 415 or otherwise, before any Registrable Securities are excluded, the Financial Advisors Shares shall be first excluded on a pro rata basis until all of the Financial Advisors Shares have been excluded .

 

4.            Registration Expenses . All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without

 

13
 

 

limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

 

5.            Indemnification .

 

(a)            Indemnification by the Company . The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers, representatives, investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, amounts paid in settlement or expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or in any final prospectus or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, 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 (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation

 

14
 

 

or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 7(c). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware.

 

(b)            Indemnification by Holders . Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 7(c). In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder under this Section 5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)            Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof;

 

15
 

 

provided , that , the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and such settlement shall not include an admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party.

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided , that , the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder pursuant to Section 7(o).

 

16
 

 

(d)            Contribution . If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities, which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale, shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d), in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

6.            Reports Under the 1934 Act.

 

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Holders to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“ Rule 144 ”), the Company agrees to:

 

17
 

 

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

 

(b)            file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

(c)            furnish to each Holder so long as such Holder owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Holders to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

7.            Miscellaneous .

 

(a)            Remedies . In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. The Company therefore agrees that the Holders shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

 

(b)            Compliance . Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it, unless exempted therefrom, in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

 

(c)            Discontinued Disposition . By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.

 

18
 

 

(d)              Piggy-Back Registrations . Without prejudice to the rights of and obligations to the Holders under Section 3(t), if, at any time when any Registrable Securities are outstanding, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within five (5) Trading Days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7(d) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act without any restriction or limitation and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

 

(e)              Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of a majority or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (including, for this purpose any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security). If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided , however , that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 7(e).

 

(f)            Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

(g)            Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger or

 

19
 

 

otherwise by operation by law) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 7(o).

 

(h)            No Inconsistent Agreements . The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or in any exhibit thereto, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

 

(i)            Execution and Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

(j)            Governing Law . All questions concerning the governing law, construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the courts having jurisdiction over, and the proper venue for, the adjudication of any dispute hereunder, shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(k)            Cumulative Remedies . The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

 

(l)             Severability . If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, 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 remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated 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 hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.

 

20
 

 

(m)            Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(n)              Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights . The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(o)             Assignment of Registration Rights . The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Holders to any transferee of all or any portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Annex A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

Each Selling Stockholder (the “ Selling Stockholders ”) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock covered hereby on the principal Trading Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. These sales may be in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
in the over-the-counter market;
•· in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
short sales;
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

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

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

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

 

The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

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

 

The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares of Common Stock covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).  

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Exhibit 99.1

 

FOR RELEASE JULY 2, 2012 at 4:30 p.m. ET

 

Palatin Technologies, Inc. Announces Pricing of

$35 Million Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants

 

CRANBURY, NJ – July 2, 2012 – Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: PTN) today announced that it has entered into a definitive securities agreement and priced a private placement of 3,873,000 shares of its common stock, Series A warrants to purchase 31,988,151 shares of its common stock, and Series B warrants to purchase 35,488,380 shares of its common stock. Funds under the management of QVT Financial LP have agreed to pay $0.50 for each share of common stock and $0.49 for each Series A warrant and each Series B warrant, resulting in gross proceeds to Palatin of $35,000,000, with net proceeds, after deducting estimated offering expenses, of approximately $34,500,000.

 

The private placement is expected to close on or about July 5, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.

 

Palatin intends to use the proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital, including its clinical trial program with bremelanotide for female sexual dysfunction, preclinical and clinical development of its melanocortin receptor-1 peptide program, preclinical and clinical development of its PL-3994 program and preclinical and clinical development of other portfolio products.

 

Both Series A and Series B warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Series A warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of issuance. The Series B warrants are also exercisable immediately upon issuance, but only if Palatin’s stockholders increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock, and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of the increase in the number of authorized shares. Both the Series A warrants and the Series B warrants are subject to limitation on exercise if the holder and its affiliates would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the total number of Palatin’s shares of common stock following such exercise.

 

The securities offered and to be sold by Palatin in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Palatin has agreed to file one or more registration statements with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued in the private placement and issuable upon exercise of the Series A and Series B warrants.

 

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