SUMMARY
The
following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus.
This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before
investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should
read the entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk
Factors” beginning on page
9
and the financial statements and notes to the financial statements
beginning on page F-1.
Our
Business
We were
incorporated as New York corporation on April 8, 1993 as “Dais Corporation.” We
changed our name to Dais Analytic Corporation on December 13, 1999.
We are a
nanotechnology
1
materials company and have developed,
patented, and are beginning to commercialize a series of nano-technology
material based products. These materials can be adapted into a number
of products that fill various needs in diverse market segments focused generally
on energy and water uses. We believe that the use of our
nano-structured products will generate an even greater number of products
addressing wiser use of energy, creating potable water, personal safety, and
protecting the environment. We have targeted four potential market
opportunities for these products: Energy/Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (“HVAC”), which is our ConsERV™ Energy Recovery Ventilator product,
Water Desalination, Homeland Security, and Immersion Coatings.
ConsERV
™
ConsERV™ is an HVAC energy
conservation product which, according to various tests, saves, in many
instances, an average of up to 30% on HVAC operating costs, allows HVAC
equipment to be up to 30% smaller, reducing peak energy usage by up to 20% and
can simultaneously improve Indoor Air Quality (“IAQ”). The estimated
technical market size for this type of HVAC product has been estimated by third
parties
2
to
exceed $1 billion in North America and over $3 billion
internationally.
Most
building codes mandate that commercial structures provide certain levels of
fresh air ventilation determined by use and occupancy. Energy
Recovery Ventilators (“ERV”), such as our ConsERV™ product, pre-condition the
incoming ventilation air using energy removed from stale exhaust
air. ConsERV™ has a core component made using our materials, and may
be described as a high-performance ERV. It is used in conjunction
with a building’s HVAC equipment.
ERVs are
systems used by HVAC manufacturers to increase energy efficiencies in HVAC units
by transferring heat and humidity between air flows. They do this by
capturing a portion of the energy already used to heat or cool air that is being
released to the outside and using it to condition the incoming air
stream. In an air conditioning application, the heat and humidity
that are part of the incoming air stream are transferred to the cool, dry
exhaust air, thereby “pre-conditioning” the incoming air before it reaches the
building’s air conditioning system. By preconditioning the incoming air, ERVs
should increase the operating efficiency of the HVAC unit, thereby lowering the
overall costs associated with heating and cooling buildings and potentially
reducing the size and initial capital cost of the overall HVAC unit
required.

Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied science and technology whose theme
is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale, generally 100
nanometers or smaller, and the fabrication of devices or materials that lie
within that size range.
2
Frost
and Sullivan, June 2007, North American Energy Recovery Market
Study.
Based on
third party test data
3
, we believe we have demonstrated that our
ConsERV™ product, with its nano-structured materials, offers better total
performance than other ERV products of which we are aware, with no moving parts
and little or no cross-air stream contamination. Our ConsERV™ core
product has received UL 900 recognition and
Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (“AHRI”)
Standard 1060 certification. Our ConsERV™ product is compatible with
most commercial HVAC units and requires only a small amount of additional HVAC
technical expertise to install. We believe the purchase and
installation costs of our ConsERV™ product is comparable to the cost of
competing energy recovery products, and that our ConsERV™ product is more
efficient in transferring moisture with lower life cycle maintenance
costs.
Studies
have shown that recent increases in the levels and overall volatility of energy
prices in the United States (averaging in excess of 11% during 2007
4
) have prompted renewed interest by corporate
and political leaders, as well as the public at large, in energy conservation
initiatives.
Achieving
sales revenue growth from our ConsERV™ product is predicated on the
success in five key areas:
·
Achieving
continued technological improvements in key materials to lower our ‘per unit’
cost structure.
·
Completing
outsourced manufacturing and assembly relationships which lower our ‘per unit’
cost structure.
·
Securing
HVAC equipment as well as ERV OEMs (or Licensees) with presence in existing and
evolving sales channels to become our customers or partners to sell worldwide
in-country/region.
·
Recruiting
the necessary people and infrastructure to support the sales growth of ConsERV –
and the other products as they are introduced into their respective sales
channels.
·
Obtaining
capital – in a timely manner – for the necessary steps outlined above to
continue without interruption.
Our
Other Nano-Structured Products
We plan
to devote time to other uses of our nano-structured products in ways which are
not disruptive to the key ConsERV™ effort. These product applications and
activities include:
·
Water Desalination:
It is our belief that this application functions effectively to remove
quantities of salt and other impurities from water to produce potable water
using a design we believe uses less energy, is less expensive and is
environmentally friendly. According to American Water Works, $30 billion will be
spent on water desalination materials worldwide between now and
2015;
·
Performance Fabrics:
It is our expectation that such fabrics will passively manage the body’s heat
and perspiration for comfort while simultaneously protecting the wearer from
many chemical and biological hazards. According to studies, in 2006, the market
for these types of products exceeded $3.6 billion annually worldwide and $1
billion in the U.S. with growth coming from first responders and military
uses;
·
Immersion Coatings:
Based on our testing, we believe this application will inhibit mollusk,
shellfish, and barnacles (“hard”) growth and accumulated algae and fronds
(“soft”) growth on water-immersed devices. In 2005, we believe the market size
for immersion coatings was $8 billion worldwide and in excess of $1 billion
annually in the U.S.; and

·
Ultra-capacitor
:
Based on initial tests, we believe that using a combination of our
nano-materials, a device may be able to be constructed which stores energy –
similar to a battery – yet with projected increases in energy density and
lifetimes. Key application is in transportation.
In
addition, we have seven issued, patents, three pending U.S. patents
(all owned by us) and two pending PCT applications that we co–own that relate to
or are applications of our nano-structured polymer materials, a family of
ionomeric nano-structured polymers that perform several functions, such as ion
exchange and modification of surface properties. The polymers are selectively
permeable to polar materials, such as water, in molecular form. We believe that
selective permeability allows these materials to function as a nano-filter in
various transfer applications. These materials are made from base
polymer resins available from a number of commercial firms worldwide and possess
unique and controllable properties, such as:
·
Selectivity
: It
is our belief, that when the polymer is made there are small channels created
that are 5 - 30 nanometers in diameter. There are two types of these channels;
hydrophilic (water permeable), and hydrophobic (water impermeable). The channels
can be chemically tuned to be highly selective for the ions or molecules they
transfer. The high selectivity of the polymer can be adjusted to efficiently
transfer water molecules from one face to the other using these
channels.
·
High
transfer rate
: We believe, based on in-house testing protocols and
related results, the channels created when casting the materials into a
nano-structured membrane have a transfer rate of water (“flux”) greater than 90%
of an equivalent area of an open tube. Further, we believe that this feature is
fundamental to the material’s ability to transfer moisture at the molecular
level while substantially allowing or disallowing the transfer of other
substances at a molecular level.
·
Unique surface
characteristic:
The materials offer a surface characteristic that we
believe inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungus and algae and prevents adhesives
from attaching.
We
believe the molecular selectivity, high transfer rate, and surface coating
properties, coupled with our ability to produce the nano-structured materials at
what we believe is an affordable price given their performance, distinguishes
our technology and value-added products. By incorporating our nano-structured
materials into existing products, we strive to address current real-world market
needs by offering what we believe to be higher efficiencies and potentially
improved price performance. For example, there are other energy
recovery mechanisms available for HVAC that use coated paper or desiccant
technology instead of our highly efficient nano-structured polymer
materials.
Our
executive offices are located at 11552 Prosperous Drive, Odessa Florida.

We intend
to finance our research and development, commercialization and distribution
efforts and our working capital needs primarily through cash flow generated from
operations and through funding from other sources, including debt financing and
equity financing. While there can be no assurance that such sources
will provide adequate funding for our operations, management believes such
sources may be available to us.
The
Offering
We are
registering 32,753,090 shares of common stock for sale by Selling
Shareholders. Of the 32,753,090 shares of common stock being

upon the conversion by Selling Shareholders of certain secured convertible notes
and 17,133,484 shares are issuable upon exercise by Selling Shareholders of
certain warrants. All shares of common stock being registered
including shares underlying convertible
notes and
warrants, were issued to the Selling Shareholders in private
transactions. Specifically, the various transactions underlying the
shares of common stock being registered herein were as
follows:
|
·
|
29,500,000
shares of common stock comprised of 14,750,000 shares of common stock
issuable upon the conversion of 9% secured convertible notes and
14,750,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of certain
outstanding warrants issued in connection with our December 2007 to
January 2008 offering of 9% secured convertible notes and warrants (the
“Financing”). The warrants issued in the Financing have a five-year term,
cashless exercise provisions and anti-dilution protection. The
anti-dilution protection includes standard protection for stock dividends
or splits, reclassification or capital reorganization as well as

RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment
decision. The risks described below are not the only ones facing the
Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also impair our business
operations. Our business, financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows could be materially adversely affected by any of these
risks. The valuation for the Company could also decline due to any of
these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This
document also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors,
including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this
prospectus.
Risks
Related to Our Business
We
have a history of losses since our inception, we expect to sustain future losses
and we may never achieve or sustain profitability.
We have
incurred substantial losses since we were founded in 1993 and we anticipate we
will continue to incur substantial losses in the future. As of
December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.8
million. We have not achieved profitability in any year since
inception and we expect to continue to incur net losses and negative free cash
flow until we can produce sufficient revenues to cover our costs, which is not
expected for several years. Furthermore, even if we achieve our
projection of selling a greater number of ConsERV units in 2008, we anticipate
that we will continue to incur losses until we can cost-effectively produce and
sell our products to a wider market. Even if we do achieve
profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase our profitability in the
future.
If
we fail to raise additional capital, we will be unable to continue our
business.
Our
development efforts to date have consumed and will continue to require
substantial amounts of capital in connection with our nano-technology materials
based products technologies (including but not limited to ConsERV, water
desalination, immersion coatings, and performance fabrics). Our channel
penetration and product development programs require substantial capital outlays
in order to reach full product commercialization. As we enter into more advanced
product development we will need significant funding to complete product
development and to pursue product commercialization.
Additionally,
our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. Our ability to continue our business and our research,
development and testing activities and commercialize our products in development
is highly dependent on our ability to obtain additional sources of financing,
including entering into and maintaining collaborative arrangements with third
parties who have the resources to fund such activities. Any future financing,
may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders, and future debt
financing, if available, may include restrictive covenants or may require us to
grant a lender a security interest in any of our assets not already subject to
an existing security interest. To the extent that we attempt to raise additional
funds through third party collaborations and/or licensing arrangements, we may
be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or products currently
in various stages of development, or grant licenses or other rights on terms
that are not favorable to us. Any failure by us to timely procure additional
financing or investment adequate to fund our ongoing operations, including
planned product development initiatives, clinical studies and commercialization
efforts, will have material adverse consequences on our business operations and
as a result, on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
We
have a history of operating losses, and we expect our operating losses to
continue for the foreseeable future and we may not continue as a going
concern.
We have
generated limited revenue and have had operating losses since our inception.

Our
accumulated deficit was $22,797,323 as of December 31, 2007. The reports from
Pender Newkirk & Company, L.L.C., our independent registered public
accounting firm, relating to our December 31, 2007 financial statements contains
Pender’s opinion that our recurring losses from operations, significant
accumulated deficit and our failure to raise sufficient capital to fund our
operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. There has been no change in the Company’s position relative to the
foregoing statements. It is possible that we will never generate sufficient
revenue to achieve and sustain profitability. Even if we achieve profitability,
we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability. We expect our operating
losses to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to expend
substantial resources to expand the ConsERV business while working to bring
other, newer products to the market including research and development, design
and testing, obtaining third party validations, identifying and securing
collaborative partnerships, and executing to enter into strategic
relationships.
The
Company has financed its
operations since inception primarily through private sales of its common and
preferred stock, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, cash it received
in connection with exercise of warrants, license agreements and the sale of
certain fuel cell assets in 2002. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had
$1,695,288 of current assets.
Even if
the Company is successful in raising additional equity capital to fund its
operations, the Company will still be required to raise an additional
substantial amount of capital in the future to fund its development initiatives
and to achieve profitability. The Company’s ability to fund its future operating
requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:
|
•
|
|
its
ability to obtain funding from third
parties;
|
|
•
|
|
its
progress on research and development
programs;
|
|
•
|
|
The
time and costs required to gain third party
approvals;
|
|
•
|
|
The
costs of manufacturing, marketing and distributing its
products;
|
|
•
|
|
the
costs of filing, prosecuting and enforcing patents, patent applications,
patent claims and trademarks;
|
|
•
|
|
The
status of competing products; and
|
|
•
|
|
The
market acceptance and third-party reimbursement of its products, if
successfully developed.
|
Our
future indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health.
We may
incur a significant amount of indebtedness to finance our operations and growth.
Any such indebtedness could result in negative consequences to us,
including:
·
increasing
our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
conditions;
·
requiring
that a portion of our cash flow from operations be used for the payment of
interest on our debt, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund
working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate
requirements;
·
limiting
our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital,
capital expenditures and general corporate requirements;
·
limiting
our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
business;
·
placing
us at a competitive disadvantage to competitors who have less indebtedness;
and
·
as
the majority of our assets are pledged to current debt holders the failure to
meet the terms and conditions of the debt instruments, or a failure to timely
rearrange the current terms and conditions of the notes, if so required, will
result in the Company having no access to certain portions of its own
technology.
If
we fail to successfully address the challenges, risks and uncertainties
associated with operating as a public company, our business, results of
operations and financial condition would be materially harmed.
We will
incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company,
and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance
initiatives. We have never operated as a public company. Once we begin reporting
as a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other
expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and various stock
exchanges, has imposed many new requirements on public companies, including
requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other
personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new
compliance procedures.
We
will incur significant increased costs as a result of operation as a public
company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new
compliance initiatives.
As a
public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NASDAQ Global Market in response
to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of these rules and
regulations will significantly increase our legal and financial compliance
costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may
strain our systems and resources. The Securities and Exchange Act
requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports
with respect to our business and financial condition. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective
disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls for financial
reporting. In particular, commencing in 2009, we must perform system
and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial
reporting to allow management and our independent registered public accounting
firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial
reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our
testing, or the subsequent testing by our independent registered public
accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over financial
reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. We expect to
incur significant expense and devote substantial management effort toward
ensuring compliance with Section 404. As a result, management’s
attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Furthermore,
we currently do not have an internal audit function, and we will need to hire
additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company
experience and technical accounting knowledge. If we are not able to
comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our
independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our
internal controls that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of
our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations
by NASDAQ, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would entail
expenditure of additional financial and management resources.
These
rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and
retain qualified independent members of our Board of
Directors. Additionally, we expect these rules and regulations to
make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer
liability insurance. We may be required to accept reduced policy
limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or
similar coverage. NASDAQ rules also require that a majority of our
Board of Directors and all of the members of certain committees of the Board of
Directors consist of independent directors. We cannot assure you that
we will be able to expand our Board of Directors to include a majority of
independent directors in a timely fashion to comply with the requirements of
these rules.
Our
ConsERV product is in small volume production and we may not be able to achieve
cost effective large volume production.
Our
ConsERV product continues to be built in small volumes. Our ability to achieve
commercial production of that product is subject to significant uncertainties,
including: completion of necessary product automation, developing experience in
manufacturing and assembly on a large commercial scale; assuring the
availability of raw materials and our key component parts from third party
suppliers; and developing effective means of marketing and selling our
product. Accordingly, it is too early to know whether we will be able
to manufacture and sell our ConsERV product on a large scale in a profitable
manner.
We
may not be able to meet our product development and commercialization
milestones.
We have
established internal product and commercialization milestones and dates for
achieving development goals related to technology and design improvements of our
products. To achieve these milestones we must complete substantial
additional research, development and testing of our products and our
technologies. Product development and testing are subject to
unanticipated and significant delays, expenses and technical or other
problems. We cannot guarantee that we will successfully achieve our
milestones. Our business strategy depends on acceptance by key market
participants and end-users of our products.
Our plans
and our ability to achieve profitability depend on acceptance by key market
participants, such as vendors and marketing partners, and potential end-users of
our products. We continue to educate designers and manufacturers of
HVAC equipment with respect to our ConsERV product. More generally,
the commercialization of our products may also be adversely affected by many
factors that are out of our control, including:
·
the
willingness of market participants to try a new product, and the perceptions of
these market participants of the safety, reliability and functionality of our
products;
·
the
emergence of newer, possibly more effective technologies;
·
the
future cost and availability of the raw materials and components needed to
manufacture and use our products;
·
the
cost competitiveness of our products; and
·
the
adoption of new regulatory or industry standards which may adversely affect the
use or cost of our products.
Accordingly,
we cannot predict with any certainty that there will be acceptance of our
products on a scale sufficient to support development of mass markets for those
products.
We
are dependent on third party suppliers and vendors for the supply of key
components for our products.
We are
dependent on third parties to manufacture the key components needed for our
nano-structured based materials and value added products made with these
materials. Accordingly, a supplier’s failure to supply components in a timely
manner, or to supply components that meet our quality, quantity and cost
requirements or our technical specifications, or the inability to obtain
alternative sources of these components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable
to us, would create delays in production of our products or increase our unit
costs of production. Also, to the extent that components are
proprietary products of our suppliers, or the processes used by our suppliers to
manufacture these components are proprietary, we may be unable to obtain
comparable components from alternative suppliers.
We
have no long term experience manufacturing our products on a commercial
basis.
We are in
the process of assembling our ConsERV product at our facility in Odessa,
Florida. Initial production costs of this product line are high with no or a
lower than desired profit margin. As a result, we believe we will
need to reduce unit production costs – including that of the nano-structured
materials themselves made for us to our specifications by third parties - over
time in order to offer our products on a profitable basis on a commercial scale.
Our ability to achieve cost reductions in all areas of nano-structured materials
and value added products depends on entering into suitable manufacturing
relationships with component suppliers, as well as increasing sales volumes so
that we can achieve economies of scale. A failure by us to achieve a
lower cost structure through economies of scale and improvements in engineering
and manufacturing in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on our
business and financial results. There can be no assurance that we
will obtain higher production levels or that the anticipated sales prices of our
products will ever allow an adequate profit margin.
Our
applications require extensive commercial testing and will take long periods of
time to commercialize.
Our
nano-structured materials and associated applications need to undergo extensive
testing before becoming commercial products. Consequently, the commercialization
of our products could be delayed significantly or rendered
impractical. Moreover, much of the commercial process testing will be
dependent on the efforts of others. Any failure in a manufacturing
step or an assembly process may render a given application or possibly our
nano-structured material(s) unsuitable or impractical for
commercialization. Testing and required development of needed
manufacturing process will take time and effort.
We
have not devoted any significant resources towards the marketing and sale of our
products, we expect to face intense competition in the markets in which we do
business, and we expect to rely, to a significant extent, on the marketing and
sales efforts of third parties that we do not control.
To date,
we have primarily focused on the sale of the ConsERV and, since we have only
sold limited quantities of our products we have limited experience in the
marketing and sale of products on a commercial basis. We expect that
the marketing and sale of our products will be conducted by a combination of
independent manufactures representatives, third-party strategic partners,
distributors, or Original Equipment Manufacturers
(“OEMs”). Consequently, the commercial success of our products will
be dependent largely on the efforts of others. We intend to enter
into additional strategic marketing and distribution agreements or other
collaborative relationships to market and sell our nano-structured materials and
value added product. However, we may not be able to identify or
establish appropriate relationships in the
future. Even
if we enter into these types of relationships, we cannot assure you that the
distributors or OEMs with which we form relationships will focus adequate
resources on selling our products or will be successful in selling
them. In addition, our chosen third party distributors or OEMs may
require us to provide volume price discounts and other allowances, customize our
products or provide other concessions which could reduce the potential
profitability of these relationships. To the extent any strategic
relationships that we establish are exclusive, we may not be able to enter into
other arrangements at a time when the distributor with which we form a
relationship is not successful in selling our products or has reduced its
commitment to
marketing our
products. Failure to develop sufficient distribution and marketing
relationships in our target markets will adversely affect our commercialization
schedule and, to the extent we enter into these relationships, the failure of
our distributors and other third parties in assisting us with the marketing and
distribution of our products may adversely affect our financial condition and
results of operations.
We will
face intense competition in the markets for our nano-structured materials and
valued added products made from these materials. We will compete directly with
currently available products, some of which may be less expensive. The companies
that make these other products may have established sales relationships and more
name-brand recognition in their market than we do. In addition, some
of those companies may have significantly greater financial, marketing,
manufacturing and other resources.
Our
future results could be harmed by economic, political, regulatory and other
risks associated with international sales and operations.
We intend
to market, distribute and service our products on an international basis and we
expect to derive a significant portion of our revenue in coming years from
international sales. If we fail to successfully sell our products
internationally, our ability to increase our future revenue and grow our
business would be impaired. We have limited experience developing,
and no experience manufacturing, our products to comply with the commercial,
regulatory and legal requirements of international markets. Our
success in those markets will depend on our ability to secure relationships with
foreign resellers and our ability to manufacture products that meet foreign
regulatory and commercial requirements. In addition, our planned
international operations could be harmed by a variety of factors, including but
not limited to:
·
difficulties
in collecting international accounts receivable;
·
increased
costs associated with maintaining international marketing efforts;
·
compliance
with potential United States Department of Commerce export
controls;
·
increases
in duty rates or other adverse changes in the tax laws;
·
trade
protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;
·
fluctuations
in currency exchange rates;
·
political
and economic instability; and
·
difficulties
in securing and enforcing intellectual property rights – foreign (where filed
and obtained) or domestic.
We
depend on our intellectual property and our failure to protect it could enable
competitors to market products with similar features that may reduce demand for
our products.
We
currently have seven United States patents, three patent applications and 2 PCT
applications, the latter being co-owned, some of which apply to the composition
and structure of a family of ion conducting polymers and
membranes. These patents and patent applications often make reference
to applications for and in some instance are application patents relating to
materials we are developing. Patent applications relating to the
subject matter of several of these patents are pending or may be entered as
patent applications in foreign countries. These patent applications
may or may not mature into issued patents.
Our
success depends, to a significant extent, on the technology that is incorporated
in our product. Although some of the inventions for which we have obtained or
applied for patent protection are no longer suitable for use with our planned
products, we believe that some of the other inventions covered by the patents
and patent applications are important to the success of our products. If we are
unable to protect our intellectual property, our competitors could use our
intellectual property to market products similar to our products, which could
reduce demand for our products. We may be unable to prevent unauthorized parties
from attempting to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology.
Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult, and we may not be able
to prevent misappropriation of our technology, particularly in foreign countries
where the laws may not protect our intellectual property as fully as those in
the United States. Others may circumvent the trade secrets,
trademarks and copyrights that we own or may own. Any such
infringements, or any alleged infringements, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, and financial
condition.
Any of
the United States patents or foreign patents owned by us or subsequently issued
to us may be invalidated, circumvented, challenged or rendered
unenforceable.
We
may not be issued any patents as a result of our pending and future patent
applications and any patents we are issued may not have the breadth of claim
coverage sought by us or necessary to prevent others from introducing similar
products. Any litigation surrounding our patent rights could force us
to divert significant financial and other important resources away from our
business operations.
Currently
there is a Patent Interference filed by Carrier Corporation in May 2006 against
a Dais Analytic Corporation Patent granted in 2002 (US Patent No. 6,413,298 -
Water-and ion-conducting membranes and uses thereof). Total loss of this Patent
Interference matter may potentially alter our ability to compete in the United
States energy recovery ventilator marketplace. We have followed, what we believe
to be the prescribed administration actions for such Patent
Interference actions as outlined, and conducted by the United States Patent and
Trade Office . To date no ruling on this matter has been made and communicated
by the United States Patent and Trade Office.
Some of
our intellectual property is not covered by any patent or patent
application. We seek to protect this proprietary intellectual
property, which includes intellectual property that may not be patented or
patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements with our distributors and
employees. These agreements afford only limited protection and may not provide
us with adequate remedies for any breach or prevent other persons or
institutions from asserting rights to intellectual property arising out of these
relationships. In addition, we cannot assure you that these
agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any
such breach or that the parties to such agreements will not assert rights to
intellectual property arising out of these relationships.
The
members of our scientific advisory board are employed by entities other than us,
some of which may compete with us. While we intend to enter into
non-competition agreements with our scientific advisors if any of them were to
consult with or become employed by any of our competitors, our business could be
negatively affected.
We
have entered into agreements with various third parties that may affect our
intellectual property rights.
We have
entered into agreements with various third parties in connection with the
development of various applications for our technology. Those
agreements generally provide for the third party to own any resulting
intellectual property rights
and often
provide for the grant of a license to us relating to those rights. We
cannot assure you that the terms of those licenses will not limit our ability to
apply such rights to specific applications in competition with the relevant
third party and which may adversely affect our business.
Our
products employ technology that may unknowingly infringe on the proprietary
rights of others, and, as a result, we could become liable for significant
damages and suffer other harm.
We cannot
assure you that our technologies and products do not or will not infringe on the
proprietary rights of third parties or that third parties will not assert
infringement claims against us in the future. We are aware of some of
the patents in the nano-materials field held by potential competitors and other
third parties. We cannot assure you that a third party will not claim
infringement by us with respect to these patents or other patents or proprietary
rights, or that we would prevail in any such proceeding. Any such
infringement claim, whether meritorious or not, could:
·
be
time-consuming;
·
result
in costly litigation or arbitration and the diversion of technical and
management personnel, as well as the diversion of financial resources from
business operations;
·
require
us to develop non-infringing technology or seek to enter into royalty or
licensing agreements; or
·
require
us to cease use of any infringing technology.
We might
not be successful in developing non-infringing technologies. Royalty
or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable
to us, or at all, and could significantly harm our business and operating
results. A successful claim of infringement arising from the
existence of a ‘submarine patent’ or another existing patent against us or our
failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology could
require us to pay substantial damages and could harm our business. In
addition, to the extent we agree to indemnify customers or other third parties
against infringement of the intellectual property rights of others, a claim of
infringement could disrupt or terminate their ability to use, market or sell our
products.
Currently
there is a Patent Interference filed by Carrier Corporation in May 2006 against
a Dais Analytic Corporation Patent granted in 2002 (US Patent No. 6,413,298 -
Water-and ion-conducting membranes and uses thereof). Total loss of this Patent
Interference matter may potentially alter our ability to compete in the United
States energy recovery ventilator marketplace. We have followed what we believe
to be the prescribed administration actions for such Patent Interference actions
as outlined, and conducted by the United States Patent and Trade
Office. To date no ruling on this matter has been made and
communicated by the United States Patent and Trade Office.
We
may not be able to control our warranty exposure, which could increase our
expenses.
We
currently offer and expect to continue to offer a warranty with respect to our
Conserve product and we expect to offer a warranty with each of our future
products. If the cost of warranty claims exceed any reserves we
establish for such claims, our results of operations and financial condition
could be adversely affected.
We
may be exposed to lawsuits and other claims if our products malfunction, which
could increase our expenses, harm our reputation and prevent us from growing our
business.
Any
liability for damages resulting from malfunctions of our products could be
substantial and could increase our expenses and prevent us from growing or
continuing our business. Potential customers will rely on our
products for critical needs, such as backup power. A malfunction of
our products could result in tort, warranty claims or other product
liability. In
addition, a well-publicized actual or perceived problem could adversely affect
the market's perception of our products. This could result in a
decline in demand for our products, which would reduce our revenue and harm our
business.
Our
key employees are critical to our success. The loss of any key
employees could impair our ability to execute our strategy and grow our
business.
Our
future success depends, to a significant extent, on the continued service of our
executive officers and other key technical, sales and senior management
personnel and their ability to execute our growth strategy all of whom has
non-compete agreements with the Company which may not withstand court review if
litigation were to occur. The loss of the services of any of our
senior level management, or our other key employees, could harm our
business. Our future performance will depend, in part, on our ability
to recruit and retain additional experienced management personnel and for our
executive officers to work together effectively. Our executive
officers may not be successful in carrying out their duties or running our
Company. Any dissent among executive officers could impair our
ability to make strategic decisions.
If
we fail to attract, retain and motivate qualified employees, we may be unable to
execute our business strategy.
Our
future success will depend in part on our ability to attract and retain highly
qualified individuals, including researchers, engineers, sales and marketing
personnel and management. Competition for these individuals is
intense, and it is becoming increasingly more difficult to attract, assimilate
and retain these highly qualified persons. Competitors and others may
attempt to recruit our employees.
Our
failure to manage our growth could harm our business.
We expect
that we will continue to grow in the number of our employees, the size of our
physical facilities and the scope of our operations. In addition, we
intend to begin to focus greater resource on ConsERV margins, sales/marketing
activities and channel expansion, and marketplace education. Rapid expansion
would likely place a significant strain on our senior management team and other
internal and external resources. Furthermore, we may be required to hire
additional senior management personnel. Our ability to manage growth
will depend in part on our ability to continue to enhance our operating,
financial and management information systems. Our personnel, systems
and controls may be unable to support our growth and as a result, our financial
results will suffer.
Any
acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and harm our financial
condition.
As part
of our growth strategy we may review opportunities to acquire other businesses
or technologies that would complement our products, expand the breadth of our
target markets or enhance our technical capabilities. Acquisitions
entail a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business
and operating results, including but not limited to:
·
problems
integrating the acquired operations, technologies or products with our existing
businesses and products;
·
constraints
arising from increased expenses and working capital requirements;
·
constraints
on our ability to incur debt;
·
dilution
of our stock if we issue additional securities;
·
disruption
of our ongoing business, diversion of capital and distraction of our
management;
·
difficulties
in retaining business relationships with suppliers and customers of acquired
companies;
·
difficulties
in coordinating and integrating overall business strategies, sales and marketing
and research and development efforts;
·
potential
liabilities in businesses and facilities acquired;
·
difficulties
in maintaining corporate cultures, controls, procedures and
policies;
·
difficulties
evaluating risks associated with entering markets in which we lack prior
experience; and
·
potential
loss of key employees.
Our
revenue and operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of factors
outside of our control, which could cause the value of our Company to
decline.
Unless
and until we establish a predictable sales record for our products, we expect
our revenue and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to
quarter. As a result, quarterly comparisons of our financial results
are not necessarily meaningful and you should not rely on them as an indication,
in any manner, of our future performance. In addition, due to our
stage of development, we cannot predict our future revenue or results of
operations accurately. As a consequence, our operating results may
fall below the expectations of investors, which could cause the valuation of our
company to decline.
We expect
to make significant investments in all areas of our business, particularly in
research and product development and in expanding in-house or outsourced
manufacturing capability. Because the investments associated with
these activities are relatively fixed in the short-term, we may be unable to
adjust our spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected shortfall in our
revenue growth. In addition, because we in the early years of
commercializing the ConsERV application and are still developing our other
products for commercial sale, we expect our order flow to be uneven from period
to period.
Risks
Related to Our Industry
If
our products fail to meet certain technical standards, we could be subject to
claims, fines or other penalties and we may be curtailed from conducting our
business operations.
Our
nano-structured membrane products are designed for use with specific
applications with specific technical objectives and standards. If
these membranes, or the hardware device(s) used to make the membranes
work, fail to meet those technical objectives and/or standards we
could be liable for potential personal injury or loss of life and damages to,
destruction of property (including consequential damages). Depending
on the nature of the claim, our current insurance policies may not adequately
reimburse us for costs incurred by reason of said claims, including, but not
limited to, environmental damage claims, and in certain instances, we may not be
reimbursed at all. Our business is subject to numerous federal, state
and local laws, regulations and policies that govern environmental
protection. These laws and regulations have changed frequently in the
past and may continue to do so in the future. Our operations may not
comply with such changes and we may be required to make significant
unanticipated capital and operating expenditures to comply with such
changes. If we fail to comply with such applicable environmental laws
and regulations, governmental authorities may seek to impose fines or other
penalties on us or to revoke or deny the issuance or renewal of certain permits
issued to us.
Accordingly,
we might be subject to damage claims or penalties, and we may be curtailed from
conducting our business operations.
We
could be liable for environmental damages resulting from our research,
development and manufacturing operations.
Our
business exposes us to the risk of harmful substances escaping into the
environment, resulting in potential personal injury or loss of life, damage to
or destruction of property, and natural resource damage. Depending on
the nature of the claim, our current insurance policies may not adequately
reimburse us for costs incurred in settling environmental damage claims, and in
certain instances, we may not be reimbursed at all. Our business is
subject to numerous federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies that
govern environmental protection. These laws and regulations have
changed frequently in the past and may continue to do so in the
future. Our operations may not comply with such changes and we may be
required to make significant unanticipated capital and operating expenditures to
comply with such changes. If we fail to comply with applicable
environmental laws and regulations, governmental authorities may seek to impose
fines or other penalties on us or to revoke or deny the issuance or renewal of
certain permits issued to us. Accordingly, we might be subject to damage claims
or penalties, and we may be curtailed from conducting our business
operations.
Future
government regulation may impair our ability to market and sell our
products.
Our
current and planned products are potentially subject to federal, state, local
and foreign laws and regulations governing, among other things, emissions to air
as well as laws relating to occupational health and safety. As these
products are introduced commercially, it is possible that governmental
authorities will adopt new regulations that will limit or curtail our ability to
market and sell such products. We may also incur substantial costs or
liabilities in complying with such new governmental regulations. Our
potential customers and distributors, some of which operate in highly regulated
industries, may also be required to comply with new laws and regulations
applicable to products such as ours, which could adversely affect their interest
in our products.
Traditional
product producing firms could place barriers on our entry into the
market.
Firms
selling products that compete against us with our nano-structured materials may
have sufficient presence with regulators to potentially impose added fees on our
new nano-structured products as a way of slowing or preventing our growth into
their old-line businesses. The imposition of such fees could increase the cost
of using our systems, could make our systems less desirable, and, accordingly,
could harm or curtail our revenue and profitability.
Alternatives
to our technology could render our systems obsolete prior to
commercialization.
Our
nano-structured materials and their identified uses are one of a number of
products being developed today as potential answers to perceived market needs.
Improvements are also being made to the existing products. Technological
advances in all fields, improvements in key targeted application areas with
existing or different new technology may render our nano-structured material
approach obsolete before or during commercialization.
Risks
Related to Investment in Our Securities
Future
issuances or the conversion or exercise, as applicable, of our outstanding
convertible securities and warrants could result in substantial dilution to the
interests of our shareholders and downward pressure on the price of our common
stock.
The
issuance of any shares of our common stock, either pursuant to the conversion or
exercise of our outstanding convertible securities and warrants, or at any time
in the future, may result in substantial dilution to the interests of holders of
our common stock. The sale of our shares of common stock in the market could
cause the market price of our common stock to decline as a result of the
increased supply of shares, which could in turn cause you to lose a portion of
your investment. Such a depression in the value of our common stock could also
reduce or eliminate amounts that would otherwise have been available to pay
dividends on our common stock (which is unlikely in any event) or to make
distributions upon our liquidation.
Furthermore,
shares owned by our Selling Shareholders, which are registered in a registration
statement, or which otherwise may be transferred without registration pursuant
to applicable exemptions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”) may be sold. Because of the perception by the investing public that a
sale by such insiders may be reflective of their own lack of confidence in our
prospects, the market price of our common stock could decline as a result of a
sell-off following sales of substantial amounts of common stock by our officers,
directors and 5% or more beneficial owners into the public market, or the mere
perception that these sales could occur.
Our
stock price is likely to be volatile.
Our
common stock has been quoted on the Pink OTC Markets, Inc.’s Pink Sheets since
November 15,2005. The market price of our common stock has been and will likely
continue to be subject to fluctuations. In addition, the stock market in general
and the market for technology companies in particular, have from time to time
experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have been often
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies.
These broad market and industry factors may cause our common stock to materially
decline, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods
of volatility in the stock market and the market price of a particular company’s
securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against
that company. Litigation of this type could result in substantial legal fees and
other costs, potential liabilities and a diversion of management’s attention and
resources.
We
have not and do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.
The
payment of dividends upon our capital stock is solely within the discretion of
our board of directors and dependant upon our financial condition, results of
operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our future financing
instruments and any other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. We
have never declared or paid a dividend on our common stock and, because we have
very limited resources, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends
on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Rather, we intend to retain any
future earnings for the continued operation and expansion of our business. It is
unlikely, therefore, that the holders of our common stock will have an
opportunity to profit from anything other than potential appreciation in the
value of our common shares held by them. If you require dividend income, you
should not rely on an investment in our common stock.
Our
executive officers, directors and major shareholders have significant
shareholdings, which may lead to conflicts with other shareholders over
corporate governance matters.
Our
current directors, officers and more than 5% shareholders, as a group,
beneficially own approximately 68% of our outstanding common
stock. Acting together, these shareholders would be able to
significantly influence all matters that our shareholders vote upon, including
the election of directors and mergers or other business
combinations.
As
a company quoted on the Pink OTC Markets, Inc.’s Pink Sheets we are not subject
to any minimum listing criteria or other eligibility requirements.
Companies
that are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Stock
Market, American Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange, must meet certain
qualitative and quantitative listing criteria, for example, they must meet
requirements with respect to operating results, net asset thresholds, corporate
governance, trading price and minimums for their public
float. Companies that are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, while not
subject to listing
requirements
per se, must be registered with the Commission under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must remain current in their
reporting requirements in order to remain eligible for
quotation.
In
contrast, companies quoted on the Pink Sheets do not have to meet minimum
listing criteria nor do they have to be registered with the Commission under the
Exchange Act or current in any reporting requirements. As we are quoted on the
Pink Sheets, and not subject to any minimum listing criteria or other
eligibility requirements, there may be limited or no information available
regarding us, our financial condition, business or operations, and you may find
it more difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our
securities or dispose of securities which you own.
Our
securities are characterized as “
microcap
stock
”, and as such are subject to a number of unique risks.
The term
“microcap stock” applies to companies with low or “micro” capitalizations,
meaning the total value of the company’s stock. Our securities are
characterized as “microcap stock”, and as such are subject to a number of unique
risks. Microcap stocks are subject to a number of unique risks. Many
microcap companies tend to be new and have no proven track record. Some of these
companies have limited or no assets or operations. Others have products and
services that are still in development or have yet to be tested in the market.
Another risk that pertains to microcap stocks involves the low volumes of
trades. Because microcap stocks trade in low volumes, any size of trade can have
a large percentage impact on the price of the stock. While all investments
involve risk, microcap stocks can be among the most risky.
Unless
an active trading market develops for our securities, shareholders may have
difficulty or be unable to sell their shares of common stock.
Our
common stock is quoted on the Pink OTC Markets, Inc.’s Pink Sheets under they
symbol “DYLT.PK.”; however, there is not currently an active trading market for
our common stock, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing
shares of our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be
relatively small or non-existent, and there can be no assurance that an active
trading market may ever develop or, if developed, that it will be maintained.
There are a number of factors that contribute to this situation, including,
without limitation, the fact that we are a small development-stage company that
is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors
and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume,
and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be
risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, development-stage
company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of shares of our
common stock until such time as we became more seasoned and viable.
As a
consequence, the Pink Sheets is characterized by a lack of liquidity, sporadic
trading, larger spreads between bid and ask quotations, and other conditions
that may affect shareholders’ ability to re-sell our
securities. Moreover, there may be periods of several days or more
when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a
seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that
will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share
price. Unless an active trading market for our common stock is developed and
maintained, shareholders may be unable to sell their common stock and any
attempted sale of such shares may have the effect of lowering the market price
of our common stock and a shareholder’s investment could be a partial or
complete loss.
Since
our common stock is thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or
declines in price, and shareholders may not be able to sell their shares at or
above the price paid.
Since our
common stock is thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile
and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors,
many of which are beyond our control, including:
·
the
trading volume of our shares;
·
the
number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common
stock;
·
new
products or services introduced or announced by us or our
competitors;
·
actual
or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
·
conditions
or trends in our business industries;
·
announcements
by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint
ventures or capital commitments;
·
additions
or departures of key personnel;
·
sales
of our common stock;
·
general
stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-quoted, and particularly
microcap, companies; and
·
material
legal action.
Shareholders,
upon exercise or conversion of our outstanding convertible securities and
warrants, may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or
above the price paid, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often
experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the
operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is
thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market
changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of
how well we perform as a company. In addition, and as noted below, our shares
are currently traded on the Pink Sheets and, further, are subject to the penny
stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile
and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option
traders.
Our
common stock is subject to the “penny stock” regulations, which are likely to
make it more difficult to sell.
Our
common stock is considered a “penny stock,” which generally is a stock trading
under $5.00 and not registered on a national securities exchange. The Commission
has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in penny stocks. These rules generally have the result of reducing
trading in such stocks, restricting the pool of potential investors for such
stocks, and making it more difficult for investors to sell their shares once
acquired. Prior to a transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required
to:
·
deliver
to a prospective investor a standardized risk disclosure document that provides
information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny
stock market;
·
provide
the prospective investor with current bid and ask quotations for the penny
stock;
·
explain
to the prospective investor the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction;
·
provide
investors monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny
stock held in their account; and
·
make
a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment
for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the
transaction.
These
requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in
the secondary market for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules. Since
our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, investors in our common
stock may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
The
trading price of our common stock if moved to a different exchange may entail
additional regulatory requirements, which may negatively affect such trading
price.
We
anticipate moving the listing to the OTC Bulletin Board where the trading price
of our common stock will continue to be below $5.00 per share. As a result of
this exchange relocation, trading in our common stock would be subject to the
requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act“). These rules require additional disclosure
by broker-dealers in connection with any trades generally involving any
non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. Such rules require the delivery, before any penny
stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market
and the risks associated therewith, and impose various sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions). For
these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must determine the suitability of
the penny stock for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to
the transaction before sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers
by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions
in our common stock. As a consequence, the market liquidity of our common stock
could be severely affected or limited by these regulatory
requirements.

DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Dais
Analytic Corporation is a nano-technology materials company which has developed,
patented, and is beginning to commercialize a series of nano-technology material
based products. We believe these materials can be adapted into a
number of products that fill various needs in diverse market segments focused
generally on energy and water uses. We believe that the use of our
nano-structured products will generate an even greater number of products
addressing wiser use of energy, creating water, personal safety, and protecting
the environment. We have targeted four potential market opportunities
for these products: Energy/Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (“HVAC”),
which is our ConsERV™ Energy Recovery Ventilator product, Water Desalination,
Performance Fabrics, and Immersion Coatings.
History
We were
incorporated as New York corporation on April 8, 1993 as “Dais Corporation”. We
changed our name to Dais Analytic Corporation on December 13, 1999.
Dais
Corporation was formed to develop new, cost-effective polymer materials for
various applications, including providing a lower cost membrane material for
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (“PEM”) fuel cells. We believe our
research on materials science has yielded technological advances in the field of
selective ion transport polymer materials.
In 1999,
we purchased the assets of Analytic Power Corporation, which was founded in 1984
to provide fuel cell and fuel processor design and consulting services, systems
integration and analysis services to develop integrated fuel cell power systems,
and the Company was re-named Dais Analytic Corporation. Analytic Power
Corporation had been identified by others as a technically
sophisticated firm in the fuel cell industry and had developed a portfolio of
fuel cell and related fuel cell component technologies, including fuel cell
stack designs, a high performance membrane catalyzation process, and natural
gas, propane, diesel and ammonia fuel processors for integrated fuel cell
systems.
In 2000,
we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of American Fuel Cell
Corporation (“AFCC”). The founders of Analytic Power Corporation
founded the AFCC structure to develop a residential power
system. Prior to the acquisition, AFCC had contracted to develop and
manufacture power systems for the Electric Power Research Institute and Hamburg
Gas Consult, GmbH, and we assisted AFCC in the performance of the contracts
since the time of the acquisition.
In March
2002, we sold substantially all of our fuel cell assets to a large U.S. oil
company for a combination of cash and the assumption by such company of certain
of our obligations. After we sold a substantial portion of our fuel cell assets,
we focused on expanding our nano-structured polymer platform, having already
identified the Energy Recovery Ventilator (“ERV”) application as our first
commercial product.
Mission
We are
committed to continue innovating applications for our nano-structured materials
with a focus on products meeting the needs of the marketplace, largely in energy
and water applications. These materials, innovated from our patented base of
polymers and proprietary manufacturing processes, are expected to increase
shareholder value by creating new or better products filling diverse market
needs.
Products
We earn
revenues from selling, licensing and making value-added products from our
nano-structured materials with the first recurring source, and the current focus
of our business, being our ConsERV™ product. Our ConsERV™ product is
the primary focus of our resources and commercialization efforts and the
revenues we generate by ConsERV™ are continuously growing. Our main
focus is to continue to grow the revenues we generate from the sale of ConsERV™
while continuing product development on our other products based on the
functionality found in our nano-technology materials platform. Of the products
we reviewed, it is our belief that ConsERV™ is twice as effective as other
products of its kind in a field that is growing due to increased regulation and
the quest for energy efficient (or “LEED”) products. In 2007, the
majority of our commercial focus and revenues came from our ConsERV™ product and
we expect this to continue to be the case until early 2009.
ConsERV
™
ConsERV™
is an HVAC energy conservation product which, according to various tests, saves,
in many instances, an average of up to 30% on HVAC operating costs, allows HVAC
equipment to be up to 30% smaller, reducing peak energy usage by up to 20% and
can simultaneously improve Indoor Air Quality (“IAQ”). The estimated
technical market size for this type of HVAC product has been estimated by third
parties
5
to exceed $1
billion in North America and over $3 billion internationally.
Most
building codes mandate that commercial structures provide certain levels of
fresh air ventilation determined by use and occupancy. Energy
Recovery Ventilators (“ERV”), such as our ConsERV™ product, pre-condition the
incoming ventilation air using energy removed from stale exhaust
air. ConsERV™ has a core component made using our and may be
described as a high-performance ERV. It is used in conjunction with a
building’s HVAC equipment.
5
Frost
and Sullivan, June 2007, North American Energy Recovery Market
Study
ERVs are
systems used by HVAC manufacturers to increase energy efficiencies in HVAC units
by transferring heat and humidity between air flows. They do this by
capturing a portion of the energy already used to heat or cool air that is being
released to the outside and using it to condition the incoming air
stream. In an air conditioning application, the heat and humidity
that are part of the incoming air stream are transferred to the cool, dry
exhaust air, thereby “pre-conditioning” the incoming air before it reaches the
building’s air conditioning system. By preconditioning the incoming
air, ERVs should increase the operating efficiency of the HVAC unit, thereby
lowering the overall costs associated with heating and cooling buildings and
potentially reducing the size and initial capital cost of the overall HVAC unit
required.
Given
third party test data
6
, we believe we have demonstrated that our
ConsERV™ product, with its nano-structured materials, offers better total
performance than other ERV products of which we are aware, with no moving parts
and little or no cross-air stream contamination. Our
ConsERV™ core product has received UL 900 recognition and
Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (“AHRI”) Standard
1060 certification. Our ConsERV™ product is compatible with most
commercial HVAC units and requires only a small amount of additional HVAC
technical expertise to install. We believe the purchase and
installation costs of our ConsERV™ product are comparable to the cost of
competing energy recovery product and that our ConsERV™ product is more
efficient in transferring moisture with lower life cycle maintenance
costs.
Studies
have shown that recent increases in the levels and overall volatility of energy
prices in the United States (averaging in excess of 11% during 2007
7
) have prompted renewed interest by corporate
and political leaders, as well as the public at large, in energy conservation
initiatives.
Achieving
sales revenue growth from our ConsERV™ product is predicated on the success in
five key areas:
·
Achieving
continued technological improvements in key materials to lower our ‘per unit’
cost structure.
·
Completing
outsourced manufacturing and assembly relationships which lower our ‘per unit’
cost structure.
·
Securing
HVAC equipment as well as ERV OEMs (or Licensees) with presence in existing and
evolving sales channels to become our customers or partners to sell worldwide
in-country/region.
·
Recruiting
the necessary people and infrastructure to support the sales growth of ConsERV –
and the other products as they are introduced into their respective sales
channels.
·
Obtaining
capital – in a timely manner – for the necessary steps outlined above to
continue without interruption.
Our
Other Nano-Structured Products
We plan
to devote time to other uses of our nano-structured products in ways which are
not disruptive to the key ConsERV™ effort. These product applications and
activities include:
·
Water Desalination:
It is our belief that this application functions effectively to remove
quantities of salt and other impurities from water to produce potable water
using a design we believe uses less energy, is less expensive and is
environmentally friendly. According to American Water Works, $30 billion will be
spent on water desalination materials worldwide between now and
2015;
·
Performance Fabrics:
It is our expectation that such fabrics will passively manage the body’s heat
and perspiration for comfort while simultaneously protecting the wearer from
many chemical and biological hazards.

“Rising
demand for oil provokes new energy crisis,” New York Times, Nov. 9,
2007
According
to studies, in 2006, the market for these types of products exceeded $3.6
billion annually worldwide and $1 billion in the U.S. with growth coming from
first responders and military uses;
·
Immersion Coatings:
Based on our testing, we believe this application will inhibit mollusk,
shellfish, and barnacles (“hard”) growth and accumulated algae and fronds
(“soft”) growth on water-immersed devices. In 2005, we believe the market size
for immersion coatings was $8 billion worldwide and in excess of $1 billion
annually in the U.S.; and
·
Ultra-capacitor
:
Based on initial tests, we believe that using a combination of our
nano-materials, a device may be able to be constructed which stores energy –
similar to a battery – yet with projected increases in energy density and
lifetimes. Key application is in transportation.
In
addition, we have seven issued, patents, three pending U.S. patents
(all owned by us) and two pending PCT applications that we co–own and that
relate to or are applications of our nano-structured polymer materials, a family
of ionomeric nano-structured polymers that perform several functions, such as
ion exchange and modification of surface properties. The polymers are
selectively permeable to polar materials, such as water, in molecular
form. We believe that selective permeability allows these materials
to function as a nano-filter in various transfer applications. These
materials are made from base polymer resins available from a number of
commercial firms worldwide and possess unique and controllable properties, such
as:
·
Selectivity:
It is
our belief, that when the polymer is made there are small channels created that
are 5 - 30 nanometers in diameter. There are two types of these channels;
hydrophilic (water permeable), and hydrophobic (water impermeable). The channels
can be chemically tuned to be highly selective for the ions or molecules they
transfer. The high selectivity of the polymer can be adjusted to efficiently
transfer water molecules from one face to the other using these
channels.
·
High
transfer rate
: We believe, based on in-house testing protocols and
related results, the channels created when casting the materials into a
nano-structured membrane have a transfer rate of water (“flux”) greater than 90%
of an equivalent area of an open tube. Further, we believe that this feature is
fundamental to the material’s ability to transfer moisture at the molecular
level while substantially allowing or disallowing the transfer of other
substances at a molecular level.
·
Unique surface
characteristic:
The materials offer a surface characteristic that we
believe inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungus and algae and prevents adhesives
from attaching.
We
believe the molecular selectivity, high transfer rate, and surface coating
properties, coupled with our ability to produce the nano-structured materials at
what we believe is an affordable price given its performance, distinguishes our
technology and value-added products. By incorporating our nano-structured
materials into existing products, we strive to address current real-world market
needs by offering what we believe to be higher efficiencies, and potentially
improved price performance. For example, there are other energy recovery
mechanisms available for HVAC that use coated paper or desiccant technology
instead of our highly efficient nano-structured polymer materials.
Key
Relationships
We have
what we believe to be strategic relationships with leaders in the energy
industry who have entered into sales, marketing, distribution and product
development arrangements with us and, in some cases, hold equity in
us. They include:
·
Electric Power Research
Institute (“EPRI”)
. We have an on-going relationship with a
number of utilities through EPRI. The EPRI participants include
Public Service Company of New Mexico, Kansas City Power & Light, Reliant
Energy Incorporated, Alliant Energy Company, Omaha Public Power District,
Wisconsin Public
Service
Corporation, Southern California Gas Company, EDF Electricite de France,
Consolidated Edison of New York, Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., CINERGY
Corporation, Northern States Power Company, American Electric Power Company,
Inc., Sierra Pacific Power Company, Public Service Electric &
Gas Company (“PSE&G”), and Tennessee Valley
Authority. The EPRI users group has been helpful in creating
opportunities for us to define specifications and applications for our
nano-structured materials that address existing energy related challenges while
possibly opening new sources of revenue for some of the world’s largest utility
companies.
·
Comfort Systems USA
.
In June 2006 we entered into a non-exclusive national sales arrangement with
Comfort Systems, a national HVAC and mechanical systems installation and service
company principally oriented to the mid-market commercial industrial and
institutional sectors. Pursuant to this arrangement, Comfort Systems and its
forty-six branches agreed to sell our ConsERV™ product into new or retro-fit
HVAC building applications. Our marketing team works with the key Comfort
Systems designers on new and retro-fit HVAC system applications.
ConsERV
- Sales and Marketing Strategies
We market
our ConsERV™ product principally through alliances with local independent
manufacturer representatives. We currently have seventeen (17) independent
commercial sales representatives in various locations throughout North America
selling the ConseERV product. We project to bring the number of commerical
independent sales representatives to approximately forty (40) to properly cover
the North American commercial sales territory. We are also working to
secure ongoing relationships with leading industry HVAC manufacturers and other
ERV manufacturers. Also targeted to be sales channels for the ConsERV product
include energy service companies, and HVAC product distributorships. We continue
to leverage our relationship with EPRI and a group of 16 utility companies
(consisting of EPRI members and some of our minority shareholders) into expected
sources of future product sales through the introduction of demand reduction
incentives.
Future
Products – Sales and Marketing Strategies
The sales
and marketing strategy we plan to execute for other products – as they complete
‘proof of concept’, or beta testing, or complete product development-finds us
seeking to create alliances with firm(s) having strong, existing
channel presence in the target industries. We believe working with industry
leaders at the development level allows us to better address the market’s needs
and possibly accelerate the ‘time to market’ cycle.
Competition
and Barriers to Entry
We
believe the efficacy of our value-added products made from these materials have
the ability to decrease sales of competing products, thus taking business away
from more established firms using older technology. We believe that our ConsERV™
product’s value-added nature may become a functional component of newer, more
efficient Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) products. Our key challenge is
to educate channel decision makers of the benefits of products made using our
materials and processes to overcome the strength of the current product
sales.
There are
a number of companies located in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia that
have been developing and selling technologies and products in the energy
recovery (or ERV) industry (i.e. Semco, Greenheck, Venmar, Bry-Air,
Renewaire, AirXchange,).
Future
product competitors include but are not limited to Dow, DuPont, Lakeland
Industries, 3M, RPM, & GE. These companies possess greater financial and
personnel resources than we do and represent significant
competition.
We
believe that the combination of (i) our nano-material platform’s characteristics
(high selectivity, high flux rate, manufacturability, et al.), (ii) our growing
patent position, and (iii) our possible ‘first to market’
position, may be competitive advantages, which may allow us time to
execute on our business plan. Competitors may experience barriers to entry in
these markets primarily related to the lack of similary performing proprietary
materials and processes.
Intellectual
Property
We rely
on patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright law to protect our intellectual
property. As stated above, we have seven granted U.S. patents, some
covering the composition and structure of a family of ion conducting polymers
and membranes and others covering some applications of the
polymer. We believe some of these patents make reference to
applications for and in some cases are application patents relating to the
materials we are developing. Please see the “Risk Factors” Section of
this prospectus. A list of our existing patents follows:
1. Patent
No. 6,841,601- Cross-linked polymer electrolyte membranes for heat and moisture
exchange devices.
2. Patent
No. 6,413,298 - Water-and ion-conducting membranes and uses thereof
3. Patent
No. 6,383,391 - Water-and ion-conducting membranes and uses thereof
4. Patent
No. 6,110,616 - Ion-conducting membrane for fuel cell
5. Patent
No. 5,679,482 - Fuel-Cell incorporating novel ion-conducting
membrane
6. Patent
No. 5,468,574 - Fuel-Cell incorporating novel ion-conducting
membrane
7. Patent
No. 7,179,860 - Cross Linked Polymer electrolyte Membranes for Heat, Ion and
Moisture Exchange Devices
We have
provisional and patent applications in the following areas: Advanced Polymer
Synthesis Processes, Reversible Liquid to Air Enthalpy Core Applications and
Construction, and Desalination.
A partial
list of the patent applications within the United States Patent Database is
below. The list covers only those applications that are publicly
visible.
1. No.
20050215728 - Cross-linked polymer electrolyte membranes for heat, ion, and
moisture exchange devices
2. No.
20030118887 - Cross-linked polymer electrolyte membranes for heat and moisture
exchange devices
3. No.
20030106680 - Heat and Moisture exchange device
Patents
may or may not be granted on these applications. We also seek to protect our
proprietary intellectual property, including intellectual property that may not
be patented or patentable, in part by confidentiality agreements with our
current and prospective strategic partners and employees.
Currently
there is a Patent Interference filed by Carrier Corporation in May 2006 against
a Dais Analytic Corporation Patent granted in 2002 (US Patent No. 6,413,298 -
Water-and ion-conducting membranes and uses thereof). Total loss of this Patent
Interference matter may potentially alter our ability to compete in the United
States energy recovery ventilator marketplace. We believe we
have followed the prescribed administration actions for such Patent
Interference actions as outlined, and conducted by the United States Patent and
Trade Office. To date no ruling on this matter has been made and communicated by
the United States Patent and Trade Office.
Government
Regulation
We do not
believe the sale, installation or use of our nano-structured products will be
subject to any government regulation, other than perhaps adherence to building
codes, military specifications, and water safety regulations governing
products
used in HVAC, military clothing, immersion coatings, and water desalination. We
do not believe that the cost of complying with such codes and regulations, to
the extent applicable to our products, will be material.
We do not
know the extent to which any existing or new regulations may affect our ability
to distribute, install and service any of our products. Once our products reach
the commercialization stage and we begin distributing them to our early target
markets, federal, state or local governmental entities or competitors may seek
to impose regulations.
We are
also subject to various international, federal, state and local laws and
regulations relating to, among other things, land use, safe working conditions,
handling and disposal of hazardous and potentially hazardous substances and
emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. Our business exposes us
to the risk of harmful substances escaping into the environment, resulting in
potential personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property,
and natural resource damage. Depending on the nature of the claim,
our current insurance policies may not adequately reimburse us for costs
incurred in settling environmental damage claims, and in some instances, we may
not be reimbursed at all. To date, we are not aware of any claims or
liabilities under these existing laws and regulations that would materially
affect our results of operations or financial condition.
Employees
As of
July 2008, we employ 17 full time employees and one part time employee in our
Odessa, Florida facility. None of the employees is subject to a collective
bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees to
be good.
Principal
Offices
Our
principal office is located at 11552 Prosperous Drive, Odessa, FL
33556.
PROPERTIES
We
currently lease a 7,200 square feet of combined office and production space
located at 11552 Prosperous Drive, Odessa, FL 33556. We lease the
site from Ethos Business Ventures, LLC., a Limited Liability
Corporation in which our Chief Executive Officer, Timothy N. Tangredi, has a
controlling financial interest.
The lease
for our corporate headquarters began on March 18, 2005. The lease term will
terminate upon 30 days’ written notice from either party. The current monthly
rent is $3,800 per month. We shall also pay all taxes and utilities as well as
most repairs relating to our office. Most of the Company functions
are performed at this site including corporate, marketing, administration,
on-going product and nano-structured polymer development, and product assembly
and shipping. Key polymer synthesis and casting is out-sourced and not done at
this facility.
We do not
anticipate investing in real estate or interests in real estate, real estate
mortgages, or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real
estate activities. We currently have no formal investment policy, and we do not
intend to undertake investments in real estate as a part of our normal
operations.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
In May of
2006, the United States Patent Office ("USPTO") informed the Company that an
interference proceeding had been initiated between the Company's patent number
US 6,413,298 and a pending patent application assigned to another
corporation. In the course of the interference the USPTO has
permitted the Company to file five motions. Each motion sets forth either the
basis upon which the Company believes the other corporation's patent application
is deficient for failing to meet minimum USPTO requirements for a valid patent
application or the manner in which the Company
believes
the patents cited fail to meet the USPTO requirements for interference. The
other corporation has been permitted to file a motion seeking benefit of a
provisional patent application date and one requesting to add three additional
claims to the application. Oppositions and replies have been filed by both
parties. At this point, a possible financial outcome cannot be determined.
However, the interference will not effect the validity of Company's other
patents.
The
Company entered into a six month financial and strategic consulting agreement
dated September 1, 2005 with Gray Capital Partners, Inc. a financial consulting
company ("Consulting Company") by which the Consulting Company was to provide
the Company with consulting services and assist it in the procurement of equity
and debt financing for business expansion and development up to a maximum of
$20,000,000. In exchange for these services, two of the shareholders of the
Company assigned their Convertible Notes Receivable, valued at $627,723, to the
Consulting Company. Per the terms of the Consulting Agreement and its related
documents, one half of the first note became vested in the Consulting Company
upon the execution of the Consulting Agreement which by the terms of the
Agreement resulted in $156,930 of said first note being subject to conversion
into the Company's common stock at the rate of one share per $.10 of note
balance. In addition, the agreement states that an additional $156,931 would be
potentially eligible for conversion upon the Company raising $1,000,000 in
financing from any source during the term of the Consulting Agreement.
Conversion rights were subject to pro-rata vesting based on the funding secured.
For financial presentation purposes, the Company has accounted for this
transaction as a capital contribution by the shareholders of $627,723 for the
forgiveness of their notes and as consulting expense for equity given to the
Consulting Company. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company
received funding of $599,972 in the form of bridge loans. On December 23, 2005
the Company terminated the Consulting Agreement subject to the provisions
thereof. The Company has no further obligations of any nature to the Consulting
Company. The shareholder of one of the notes may contend, and has a possibility
of being successful, in having the amendment and assignment declared void
requiring his note be reinstated on the Company's books. The accounting entries
made by the Company with regard to the first note are not to be construed as a
waiver of any rights the Company may have in law or equity under the consulting
agreement or any agreements related thereto, nor as an admission, of an nature,
by the Company.
Subsequent
to March 31, 2008, the Company has obtained a release of any liability to the
Consulting Company and the corresponding liability was assigned to a third
party. The vested value of the note that was assigned amounted to $244,000 which
converts into the Company's common stock at a rate of one share per $0.10 of
note balance which amounts to 2,440,000 shares. During 2005 and 2006, a total of
approximately $244,000 was recorded as consulting expense. The note has been
converted.
We know
of no other material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are
we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.
There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates,
or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a
material interest adverse to our Company.
From time
to time, claims are made against us in the ordinary course of our business,
which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject
to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary
damages, fines, penalties or injunctions prohibiting us from selling one or more
products or engaging in other activities. The occurrence of an unfavorable
outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations for that period or future periods.

Director
Independence
Our board

qualify as “independent” as the term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-K as
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The independent directors
are Raymond Kazyaka Sr. and Robert W. Schwartz.
Board
Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance
Our board
of directors has not adopted any committees to the board of directors. Our board
of directors held ten formal meeting during the most recently completed fiscal
year. Other proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions
consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the
directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are,
according to the corporate laws of the State of New York and our bylaws, as
valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors
duly called and held.
At each
annual meeting of shareholders, directors will be elected by the holders of
common stock to succeed those directors whose terms are expiring. Directors will
be elected annually and will serve until successors are elected and qualified or
until a director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Our bylaws provide
that the authorized number of directors may be changed by action of the majority
of the board of directors or by a vote of the shareholders of our Company.
Vacancies in our board of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the
board of directors with such newly appointed director to serve until the next
annual meeting of shareholders, unless sooner removed or replaced. We currently
do not have a policy regarding the attendance of board members at the annual
meeting of shareholders.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors
may do so by directing a written request addressed to our Chief Executive
Officer at the address appearing on page
30
of this
prospectus.
Code
of Ethics
The
Company has not adopted a code of ethics, but we plan to adopt a code of ethics
shortly.
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
,
as amended, requires our
executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10%
of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of
changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common
shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5
respectively. Once we have a class of equity securities registered

intend to file all such forms in a timely manner and if not, to disclose any
untimely filings in accordance with Item 405 Regulation S-K.

We do not
have a plan pursuant to which our directors are compensated and directors do not
receive cash compensation for their services on the Board of Directors although
they do receive stock options as determined by the full Board of Directors.
Raymond Kazyaka Sr. and Robert W. Schwartz were each granted an option on August
18, 2007 to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.21
per share, vesting immediately upon issuance and exercisable for a period of ten
years.
Our
non-employee directors are currently compensated with the issuance of stock
options, which generally become exercisable upon the date of grant, and which
generally expire on the earlier of ten years from the date of grant or up to
three years after the date that the optionee ceases to serve as a director.
Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses associated
with attending to the Company’s business.
SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF
CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The
following table sets forth information as of the date of this prospectus as to
each person or group who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than
5% of our outstanding voting securities and as to the security and percentage
ownership of each of our executive officers and directors and of all of our
officers and directors as a group.
Beneficial
ownership is determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and generally includes voting or investment power over securities.
The number of shares shown as beneficially owned in the tables below are
calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Under Rule 13d-3(d)(1), shares not outstanding that are subject to options,
warrants, rights or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are deemed
outstanding for the purpose of calculating the number and percentage owned by
such person, but not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the
percentage owned by each other person listed. Except in cases where community
property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe
that each shareholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and
investment power over all of the shares of common stock shown as beneficially
owned by the shareholder.
The
address for each of the persons named below is 11552 Prosperous Drive, Odessa,
FL 33556, unless otherwise indicated.
Applicable
percentage ownership in the following table is based on 11,877,184 shares of
common stock outstanding as of August 7, 2008, plus, for each individual, any
securities that individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of August 7,
2008.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, Timothy N. Tangredi, a shareholder
and officer of the Company loaned the Company an aggregate of $156,500 pursuant
to three loan agreements. One loan was unsecured, due on demand and
did not accrue interest. The other two loans were unsecured, due in
one and two months respectively, and accrued interest at 12 percent, increasing
by 1 percent for every 30 days the principle balance is
outstanding. Prior to year end, the Company repaid the
loans.
The
Company rents a building on a month to month basis from a related party which is
wholly owned by two shareholders of the Company, one of which is Timothy N.
Tangredi, our Chief Executive Officer. The base monthly rent expense is $3,800
per month. Company also pays the taxes, insurance and some repairs on the
building. For the year three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company
has recorded $12,198 and $12,198, respectively, in rent expense to this related
party.
The above
amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would have been
incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.
We believe that the foregoing transactions with were on terms no less favorable
than could have been obtained from independent third parties. There are no
material relationships between us and our directors or executive officers except
as previously discussed herein.
Since the
beginning of our last fiscal year, we are not a participant in any transaction,
or proposed transaction, not disclosed herein in which any related person had or
will have a direct or indirect material interest and in which the amount
involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of our total assets at
year end for the last two completed fiscal years.
MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion includes
forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other
factors described under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Forward Looking
Statements.” These factors could cause our actual results in 2008 and beyond to
differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, those forward-looking
statements.
We have developed and
patented nano-structure polymer technology which is being commercialized in
products based on the functionality of these materials. The applications of
which has promise in a number of diverse market segments and
applications.
Our growth product vehicle
in the foreseeable future is the continued expansion of the commercialization of
a multiple time, industry award winning Heating, Ventilation and Air
Conditioning (“HVAC”) product we call “ConsERV". ConsERV
8
has been validated by third parties to reduce, in most
cases, initial HVAC capital equipment costs, lower on-going operating costs,
reduce peak energy usage, improve the environment by reducing the production of
harmful CO
2
gases, and improve Indoor Air Quality (“IAQ”) to meet or exceed the
current American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers ("ASHRAE") building guidelines outlined in their Standard 62.1 and
62.2.
8
The
ConsERV product has received the “
2006
Innovation Award
” presented byAHRI and ASHRAE. ConsERV was
presented a first place award in July 2007 by ASHRAE for “
Nanotechnology
in Public Building Application
” for the ConsERV installation at the
Tampa, FL. Museum of Science and Industry.
We
currently generate revenues primarily through the sales of our ConsERV product,
and licensing of our nano-structed polymer
materials/processes.
Our main
external focus is to continue to expand the sales channels for ConsERV
while the main internal focus is to continue to improve ConsERV’s
performance in its current application (HVAC air-side ventilation) while
expanding its use into a complete heating/cooling system which is expected to
use less energy than consumed in today’s commercial HVAC
equipment.
Other
projected uses include – but are not limited to - providing in sea water
desalination, and allow for the storage of electrical energy in form factors
with energy densities which are anticipated to exceed products currently
available.

months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in percentage in 2008
is primarily the result of lower polymer costs.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
EXPENSES:
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,405,749 for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $693,506 from $712,243 in the
same period of 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to
compensation expense associated with a warrant granted to an executive as
discussed in Note 9 to the accompanying financial statements for the period
ended March 31, 2008, partially offset by lower consulting
fees.
INTEREST EXPENSE:
Interest
expense was $859,220 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of
$828,301 compared to $30,919 for the same period of 2007. This
increase is primarily the result of additional amortization of the beneficial
conversion feature and discount on outstanding notes payable.
NET LOSS:
Net loss for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by $1,509,033 to $2,200,635, from
$691,602 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in net loss is
primarily due to increases in compensation expense and interest
expense.

YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,

|
REVENUES:
Total revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $870,153 and $913,334,
respectively, a decrease of $43,181, or 4.7%. The decrease in revenues is
primarily attributable to a reduction in grant income associated with a one-time
grant that we received in 2006 and lower sales of our ConsERV product, partially
offset by the sale of a water desalination prototype.
COST OF GOODS SOLD:
Cost of
goods sold
decreased $11,035 to
$637,032 and represented 73.2% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007
compared to $648,067 or 71.0% for the year ended December 31, 2006. The
increase in the percentage in 2007 is primarily the result of incurring
comparable direct payroll expenses in both periods with lower sales in
2007.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
EXPENSES:
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,871,030 for
the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased $213,513 from $2,084,543 for the year
ended December 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily attributable to
lower legal fees associated with the patent interference proceeding discussed in
Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements for the period ending December
31, 2007.
INTEREST EXPENSE:
Interest
expense was $596,083 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of
$476,193 compared to $119,890 for the year ended December 31,
2006. This increase is primarily the result of additional
amortization of the beneficial conversion feature and discount on outstanding
notes payable.
NET LOSS:
Net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2007 increased by $294,826 to $2,233,992, from
$1,939,166 for the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily due to lower revenues
and an increase in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in legal
expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
The
Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through private
sales of its common and preferred stock, the issuance of convertible promissory
notes, license agreements, cash it received in connection with the exercise of
warrants and the sale of certain fuel cell assets. The Company also received
proceeds from various fuel cell contracts.
From 2000
through 2008, the Company has received funding of approximately $6,000,000 from
private sales of its common and preferred stock to individuals and corporations,
approximately $4,216,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and
approximately $2,000,000 from licensing of its ConsERV
product.
During
2005 and 2006, the Company received funding of approximately $1,265,600, from
the issuance of 8% convertible promissory notes, secured by certain tangible
assets. The Company settled these notes during 2007 by converting $840,547 of
the notes and the related interest into 3,258,323 shares of common stock and
repaying $425,000 of the notes in cash.
From
November 2007 through January 2008, the Company consummated a private placement
offering and received funding of $2,950,000 from the issuance of 9% convertible
promissory notes, secured by patents, with maturity dates from December 2008
through January 2009. Warrants with a fair value of $1,566,563 to
purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share accompanied the
promissory notes. These warrants vest immediately and expire December
2012 through January 2013. At maturity, the lender has the option of
receiving payment of any principal and accrued interest due under the notes in
either cash or common stock of the Company. If the lender opts for
payment in the form of common stock, it will be issued at the rate of one share
per $0.20 of outstanding principal and interest. The Company may, at
any time prior to maturity, pay all interest and principal due under the note in
cash. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued common
stock and warrants of $35,000 to pay for certain offering
costs.
The
Company has also issued stock options and warrants to certain employees and
third party consultants for payment of services in lieu of
cash. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company
issued options and warrants of $358,863 and $558,521, respectively, to employees
and consultants in lieu of cash for services rendered. During the
years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company issued common stock of
$217,000 and $33,000, respectively, in lieu of cash for services
received. Subsequent to March 31, 2008, the Company granted an
executive a fully vested warrant to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock at an exercise price of $.36 per share for services
performed.
We have
incurred net losses since inception and expect to incur substantial losses in
the future. Our ability to continue as a going concern is highly
dependent on our ability to obtain additional sources of financing sufficient to
fund our working capital requirements, which primarily include payroll, product
development and product commercialization-related costs. Any failure
by us to timely procure additional financing adequate to fund our ongoing
operations will have a materially adverse consequence on our business operations
and our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
As
of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
Cash and
cash equivalents and cash held in escrow at March 31, 2008 were $1,288,622
compared to $1,504,232 at December 31, 2007. Cash is primarily used to fund our
working capital requirements and net operating losses. At December 31, 2007,
cash held in escrow represented $1,000,000 of proceeds from the private
offering, which was released from escrow when the transaction closed in January
2008.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, we received net proceeds of $466,000
after expenses of $34,000 in connection with the fourth and final
closing of our private offering.
As of
March 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $871,415compared to a
working capital deficit of $334,449 as of December 31, 2007. The decrease in
working capital was primarily due an increase in current debt, partially offset
by timing differences in customer collections and vendor payments.
We
used $581,610 of cash to fund our operating activities in the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared to $221,674 of cash used to fund our operating
activities in three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in cash used to
fund our operating activities was primarily due to timing differences in
customer collections and vendor payments.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, financing activities provided $1,366,000
of cash primarily due to net proceeds received from our private placement
offering of $1,466,000s, partially offset by payments on our outstanding notes
payable.
As
of and for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007
Cash and
cash equivalents and cash held in escrow as of December 31, 2007 were $1,504,232
compared to $204,799 as of December 31, 2006. Cash is primarily used to fund our
working capital requirements and net operating losses. At December 31, 2007,
cash held in escrow represented $1,000,000 of proceeds from the private
placement offering, which was released from escrow when the transaction closed
in January 2008.
In
December 2007, we consummated a private offering and received funds of
$2,260,000 net of expenses of $190,000 from the issuance of convertible
promissory notes. As of December 31, 2007, proceeds of $1,000,000 from the
private offering were held in escrow until the final closing of the transaction
which occurred in January 2008.
As
of December 31, 2007, we had a working capital deficit of $334,449 compared to a
working capital deficit of $2,264,546 as of December 31, 2006. The increase in
working capital was primarily due to an increase in cash from funds received in
connection with our private offering, a decrease in net losses (exclusive of
non-cash charges) and a conversion of outstanding notes payable which reduced
our current debt, partially offset by timing differences in customer collections
and vendor payments.
We used
$915,682 of cash to fund our operating activities in the year ended December 31,
2007 compared to $753,727 of cash used to fund our operating activities in the
year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in cash used to fund our operating
activities was primarily due to timing differences in customer collections and
vendor payments, partially offset by a decrease in net losses (exclusive of
non-cash charges).
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, financing activities provided $1,224,325 of
cash primarily due to net proceeds received from our private placement offering
of $1,260,000 and the issuance of 150,909 shares of common stock, partially
offset by payments on our outstanding notes payable.
Our
management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our results
of operations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET
ARRANGEMENTS
We do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
preparation of the accompanying financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make judgments, assumptions and
estimates that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial
statements and the accompanying notes. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. When making these estimates and
assumptions, we consider our historical experience, our knowledge of economic
and market factors and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The
following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments,
assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial
statements:
Revenue
Revenues
from product sales are recorded when the products are shipped to the customer,
net of allowances for warranties and returns, which are immaterial based on our
historical experience.
Revenues
from license sales are deferred and recognized over the life of the agreements
on a straight-line basis.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
We review
our long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and patents, for
impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS 144) whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. We compare the carrying value of long-lived assets to
the expected undiscounted cash flows that the assets will generate over their
remaining useful lives. In calculating the estimated undiscounted cash flows, we
make assumptions that are subject to a high degree of judgment.
Stock-Based
Compensation
On
January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment
awards based on estimated fair values. Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense
recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) was $575,863 and $591,521 for the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
We
currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value
of stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was
developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no
vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics not present in
our stock options and warrants. The determination of the fair value of
stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is
affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex
and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price
volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee equity
award exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates, expected forfeiture rates
and expected dividends.
We
estimate the expected term of options and warrants granted based on the
Company’s historical pattern of exercise behavior. We estimate the expected
volatility based on comparison to a peer company’s historical activity. The
dividend rate is based on the Company’s actual historical dividend experience
and the risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in
effect for the expected term of the option on the grant date. We
estimate forfeitures at the grant date based on historical experience.
If factors change and we
employ different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in
future periods or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the future
periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current
period and could materially affect our results of operations.
Taxes
The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48"), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, in January 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's
financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position and results of operations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "
The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an
amendment of FASB Statement No.
115
"
.
Under
SFAS No. 159, a company may elect to measure eligible financial assets and
financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. The adoption of this statement on January 1, 2008,
did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements as the Company did not elect the fair value option.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business Combinations," a
replacement of SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." The objective of this
Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial reports about a business combination and its effects. This Statement
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and
measures the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measures the
goodwill acquired or gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what
information to disclose. The Company has not yet determined what impact the
adoption of this requirement, which becomes effective January 1, 2009, will
have on its consolidated financial statements with respect to future
acquisitions.
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An
amendment of ARB No. 51". SFAS 160 requires companies with non-controlling
interests to disclose such interests clearly as a portion of equity but separate
from the parent's equity. The non-controlling interest's portion of net income
must also be separately presented in the statement of operations. SFAS 160 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of
this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
There are
other pronouncements existing that are not discussed above but we do not believe
such pronouncements will have a material effect on Company’s financial position
or results of operation.

common stock has been traded on the Pink Sheets since November 15, 2005 under

In June
2000, our Board of Directors adopted, and our shareholders approved, the 2000
Plan, which provides for the grant of stock options, incentive stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and bonus
stock and other awards to eligible persons, as defined in said plan, including,
but not limited to, officers, directors and employees of the
Company. Certain awards under the 2000 Plan may be subject to
performance conditions.
Number of Shares of Common Stock
Available Under the 2000 Plan
. As of December 31, 2007, the
Company's Board of Directors approved and made available 6,093,882 shares of
common stock to be issued pursuant to said plan. During the period ended March
31, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors approved and made available an
additional 5,000,000 shares of Company's common stock for issuance under the
2000 Plan. The Plan permits grants of options of common shares authorized and
approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders for issuance prior
to enactment of the 2000 plan.
Exercise Price.
The
2000 Plan requires the Committee to grant options with an exercise price per
share not less than the fair market price of a share of Common Stock on the date
of grant of the option.
Administration of the 2000
Plan
. The 2000 Plan is administered by a committee of two or
more directors designated by the Board to administer the Plan (the “Committee”)
or, in the absence of such Committee, by the Board. Currently, the
2000 Plan is administered by our Board. The board has the authority
to select the participants to whom awards under the 2000 Plan will be granted,
grant awards, determine the type, number and other terms and conditions of, and
all other matters relating to, awards granted under the 2000 Plan and to
prescribe the rules and regulations for the administration of the 2000
Plan. No option or stock appreciation rights granted under the 2000
Plan shall be exercisable, however, more than ten years after the date of the
grant.
Transferability.
Awards
granted under the 2000 Plan are generally not transferable by the optionee
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and generally are
exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by the
optionee.
Change in
Control.
All awards granted under the 2000 Plan carrying a
right to exercise that was not previously exercisable and vested shall become
fully exercisable and vested upon a change of control of the Company, which
includes the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or
into any other entity, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the
replacement of a majority of our Board of Directors, the acquisition by any
person of securities representing 20% or more of the voting power of our then
outstanding securities (other than securities issued by us) or any other event
which the Board determines would materially alter our structure or
ownership.
Options Granted to Non-Employee
Directors.
Non-employee directors of the Company are usually
granted options each year, which generally become exercisable upon the date of
grant, and which generally expire on the earlier of ten years from the date of
grant or up to three years after the date that the optionee ceases to serve as a
director.
Stand-Alone
Grants
Our board
of directors may grant common share purchase options or warrants to selected
directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors in payment of goods or
services provided by such persons on a stand-alone basis outside of any of our
2000 Incentive Compensation Plan. The terms of these grants may be individually
negotiated.

includes standard protection for stock dividends or splits, reclassification or
capital reorganization as well as protection with regards to additional
issuances of common stock or common stock equivalents. The exercise
price is $0.25 per share of common stock. Warrants issued to Legend Merchant
Group, Inc. and
Richardson
& Patel LLP are substantially similar to the cashless warrants issued in the
Financing, with the exception that the amount that may be exercised is tied to
the percentage converted bears to the total of all notes issued.
Cash Exercise Only
Warrants
The
warrants issued in the Additional Financing have a five-year term and
anti-dilution protection for stock dividends or splits, mergers, consolidation,
reclassification, capital reorganization or a sale of substantially all of the
Company’s assets. The exercise price is $0.55 per share of common
stock and they do not provide for cashless exercise. Warrants issued to the Robb
Charitable Trust are identical to warrants issued in the Additional Financing.
Warrants issued in the Daily Financing are substantially similar to those issued
in the Additional Financing but permit immediate exercise and contain no
provision permitting the Company to compel exercise based on Company’s stock
price.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We are
registering shares of our common stock for resale by the Selling Shareholders
identified in the section above entitled “Selling Shareholders.” We will receive
none of the proceeds from the sale of these shares by the Selling Shareholders.
The common stock may be sold from time to time to purchasers:
|
·
|
through
the Pink Sheets at prevailing market prices; or
|
|
·
|
through
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the
form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling
Shareholders or the purchasers of the common stock.
|
The
Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when
selling shares:
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
|
·
|
a
block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell
such 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 such broker-dealer for its
own account pursuant to this prospectus;
|
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
·
|
settlement
of short sales;
|
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
|
|
·
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or
|
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
Neither
the Selling Shareholders nor the Company can presently estimate the amount of
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions that
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive from the Selling Shareholders
or the purchasers of the common stock. We know of no existing arrangements
between the Selling Shareholders, broker-dealers, underwriters or agents
relating to the sale or distribution of the shares.
The
Selling Shareholders may also enter into hedging transactions and persons with
whom they effect such transactions, including broker-dealers, may engage in
short sales of our common shares. Our Selling Shareholders may also engage in
short sales and short sales against the box, and in options, swaps, derivatives
and other transactions in our securities, and may sell and deliver the shares
covered by this prospectus in connection with such transactions or in settlement
of securities loans. These transactions may be entered into with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions that may resell those shares pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
The
Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of
section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with the sales and
distributions contemplated under this prospectus and may have civil liability
under Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act for any omissions or
misstatements in this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a
part. Additionally, any profits which our Selling Shareholders may receive might
be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. Because the
Selling Shareholders may deemed to be underwriters under Section 2(11) of the
Securities Act, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Any profits realized by the Selling
Shareholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions.
The
resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed broker-dealers if
required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states,
the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified
for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or
qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We will
bear all expenses relating to the sale of our common shares under this
prospectus, except that the Selling Shareholders will pay any applicable
underwriting commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and transfer taxes, as
well as the fees and disbursements of counsel to and experts for the Selling
Shareholders.
Any
common shares offered under this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to
Rule 144 of the Securities Act may also be sold under Rule 144 rather than
pursuant to this prospectus.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), any person engaged in the distribution of the
resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with
respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the
commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders 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 our common stock by the Selling Shareholders or
any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the
Selling Shareholders 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.
INTERESTS
OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
The
financial statements of Dais Analytic included in this prospectus have been
audited by Pender Newkirk & Company LLP, Certified Public Accountants
(“Pender”), to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report
appearing elsewhere herein and are included in reliance upon such report given
upon the authority of that firm as experts in auditing and
accounting. The validity of the issuance of the common shares to be
sold by the Selling Shareholders under this prospectus will be passed upon for
our Company by Richardson & Patel, LLP (“R&P”). Neither
Pender nor R&P have been employed by us on a contingent basis with respect
to the sale or registration under this prospectus of the securities to be sold
by the Selling Shareholders. Pender does not own a substantial
interest in us. R&P and its partners beneficially own
1,784,616shares of our common stock, all of which are being registered
hereunder.
INDEMNIFICATION,
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, AND
DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR
SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
As
permitted under the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that all our directors shall be entitled
to be indemnified for any breach of duty, provided that no indemnification maybe
made to or on behalf of any director if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or
were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial
profit or other advantage to which he was not legally
entitled.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation further provides for indemnification of any person
for actions as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the
fullest extent permitted by law with regards to fines, judgments fees and
amounts paid in a settlement in an action or proceeding if the person acted in
good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was
unlawful.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that our directors are not to
be liable for any breach of their directors’ duties, except for acts or
omissions involving bad faith, intentional misconduct, knowing violation of the
law or personal financial gain or advantage. Our Certificate of
Incorporation also provides a right of indemnification in specified
circumstances to our directors, officers, employees or agents to the fullest
extent permitted by law. These provisions cannot be amended without
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in interest of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote.
Under the
Company’s Director and Officer Insurance Policy, the Company’s directors and
officers are provided liability coverage of $3 million (subject to retention)
while the Company itself is covered for securities claims only. The policy has a
one year term with annual renewal possible. The policy can be terminated by the
insured if there is a merger or acquisition which includes a change in ownership
of 50% of the voting shares. At such time, the insurer may elect to cancel the
policy and the total premium would be due. The Company may elect to then obtain
“run off” insurance at a cost of 150% of the initial policy premium. The policy
is a claim made policy. It only covers those claims made during the policy term.
If an act giving rise to a claim occurs during the term, but the claim is not
made until after the policy terminates, there is no coverage.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether our indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and we will be governed by the
final adjudication of the issue by the court.
WHERE
YOU CAN FIND FURTHER INFORMATION

with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration

1. Background
Information
Dais
Analytic Corporation (the “Company”), a New York corporation, has developed and
is commercializing applications using its nano-structure polymer technology. The
first commercial product is an energy recovery ventilator (“ERV”) (cores and
systems) for use in commercial Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
applications. In addition to direct sales, the Company licenses its
nano-structured polymer technology to strategic partners in the aforementioned
application and is in various stages of development with regard to other
applications employing its base technologies. The Company was
incorporated in April of 1993 with its corporate headquarters located in Odessa,
Florida.
2. Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. For the three month’s ended March
31, 2008, the Company has a net loss of $2,200,635 and an accumulated deficit of
$24,997,958 has negative working capital of $871,415 and a stockholder’s deficit
of $1,997,651 at March 31, 2008. In view of these matters, there is
substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going
concern. The recoverability of recorded property and equipment,
intangible assets, and other asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial
statements is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends
on financing its future activities and its working capital needs largely from
the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other
traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from
sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are
sufficient to fund working capital requirements. However, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its
efforts. The financial statements of the Company do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
3. Significant
Accounting Policies
In the
opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for
the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, (b) the financial
position at March 31, 2008, and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, have been made.

3. Significant
Accounting Policies (continued)
The
unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form
10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in
the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The
accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of those to be
expected for the entire year.
The
significant accounting policies followed are:
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
|
Direct
loan costs of $103,420 incurred with the issuance of notes payable are deferred
and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes payable,
$15,694 per month for 12 months. For the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, the Company incurred amortization expense of $23,854 and 15,694,
respectively.
|
Inventory
consists of raw materials and is stated at the lower of cost, determined
by first-in, first-out method, or market. Market is determined
based on the net realizable value, with appropriate consideration given to
obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other
factors.
|
|
Revenue
derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as revenue on
a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license
arrangement is terminated. The Company recognized $21,037 of
deferred revenue associated with license agreements for each of the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007.
|

In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004),
“Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on
their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during
which an employee is

required
to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite
service period (usually the vesting period). The Company adopted SFAS 123R
effective beginning January 1, 2006 using the Modified Prospective
Application Method. Under this method, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and
to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective
date. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company
accounted for stock option grants using the intrinsic value method
prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,” and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for stock
option grants.
|
|
The
value of each grant under SFAS 123(R) is estimated at the grant date using
the Black-Scholes option model with the following assumptions for options
granted during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007:

|
The
basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend
rate is based upon the Company’s history of dividends; the risk-free
interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the
expected term was calculated based on the Company’s historical pattern of
options granted that are expected to be outstanding; and expected
volatility was calculated by review of a peer company’s historical
activity.
|
|
SFAS
No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and
revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ
from those estimates. Based on historical experience of
forfeitures, the Company estimated future unvested option forfeitures at
zero percent for the period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and incorporated
this rate in the estimated fair value of employee option grants during
2008 and 2007.
|
|
As
of March 31, 2008, there was $542,998 of unrecognized stock-based
compensation expense related to nonvested stock options. This
expense will be recognized over a weighted average period of three
years.

The
aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March
31, 2008, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.31 as of the
last business day of the period ended March 31, 2008, which would have
been received by the optionees had all options been exercised on that date
was $1,709,989 and $1,540,811, respectively. Intrinsic value is
the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the
exercise price of the options.

Basic
and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average
number of common stock outstanding during the period. Common
stock equivalents, which amounted to 5,692,086 and 3,433,230 at March 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively, are not considered in the calculation of the
diluted earnings per share for the period presented as their effect would
be anti-dilutive due to losses
incurred.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No.
160). The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority)
interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements
to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated
stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest”
accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to
noncontrolling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings.
Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and
decreases

Convertible
notes payable
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued convertible promissory
notes and warrants to purchase common stock to individuals in exchange for
proceeds totaling $500,000. At March 31, 2008, the Company had
$2,950,000 convertible promissory notes outstanding. The convertible
promissory notes contained an embedded conversion feature. As such,
in accordance with EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Securities with
Beneficial Conversion Feature or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and
EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible
Instruments,” the difference between the conversion price and the Company’s
estimated fair market value of its stock price on the commitment date of the
notes was calculated to be $245,106 for notes issued during 2008
and

4. Notes
Payable (continued)
$1,18,331
for notes issued for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company is
amortizing the beneficial conversion feature over the life of the convertible
debt of one year and therefore recognized interest expense resulting from the
amortization of the beneficial conversion feature for all of the outstanding
notes of $329,467 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The notes
bear interest at nine percent per annum and mature beginning in December 2008
through January 2009. At maturity, lender has the option of receiving payment of
any principal and accrued interest due under the note in either cash or common
stock of the Company. If lender opts for payment in the form of common stock the
stock will be issued at the rate of one share per $0.20 of principal and
interest. Company may, at any time prior to maturity, pay all interest and
principal due under the note in cash. Accrued interest on the notes totaled
$69,510 at March 31, 2008.
The
warrants to purchase common stock which accompanied the convertible promissory
notes are, subject to certain limitations, exercisable at $0.25 per share, vest
immediately, and expire in December 2012. Pursuant to APB No. 14, the Company
valued the warrants issued in 2008 and 2007 at their relative fair value of
$254,894 and $1,311,669, respectively. To recognize the relative fair value of
the warrants, the Company discounted the notes and increased additional paid in
capital in the financial statements. The discount is amortized over the term of
the notes and resulted in a $374,506 charge to interest expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.

8. Commitments
and Contingencies
The
Company has employment agreements with some of its key employees and
executives. These agreements provide for minimum levels of
compensation during current and future years. In addition, these
agreements call for grants of stock options and for payments upon termination of
the agreements.
In May of
2006, the United States Patent Office (“USPTO”) informed the Company that an
interference proceeding had been initiated between the Company’s patent number
US 6,413,298 and a pending patent application assigned to another
corporation.
In the
course of the interference the USPTO has permitted the Company to file five
motions. Each motion sets forth either the basis upon which the Company believes
the other corporation’s patent application is deficient for failing to meet
minimum USPTO requirements for a valid patent application or the manner in which
the Company believes the patents cited fail to meet the USPTO requirements for
interference. The other corporation has been permitted to file a motion seeking
benefit of a provisional patent application date and one requesting to add three
additional claims to the application. Oppositions and replies have
been filed by both parties.

8. Commitments
and Contingencies (continued)
At this
point, a possible financial outcome cannot be determined. However,
the interference will not effect the validity of Company’s other
patents.
The
Company entered into a six month financial and strategic consulting agreement
dated September 1, 2005 with a financial consulting company. (“Consulting
Company”) by which the Consulting Company was to provide the Company with
consulting services and assist it in the procurement of equity and debt
financing for business expansion and development up to a maximum of
$20,000,000. In exchange for these services, two of the shareholders
of the Company assigned their Convertible Notes Receivable, valued at $627,723,
to the Consulting Company. Per the terms of the Consulting Agreement
and its related documents, one half of the first note became vested in the
Consulting Company upon the execution of the Consulting Agreement which by the
terms of the Agreement resulted in $156,930 of said first note being subject to
conversion into the Company’s common stock at the rate of one share per $.10 of
note balance. In addition, the agreement states that an additional
$156,931 would be potentially eligible for conversion upon the Company raising
$1,000,000 in financing from any source during the term of the Consulting
Agreement. Conversion rights were subject to pro-rata vesting based on the
funding secured. For financial presentation purposes, the Company has
accounted for this transaction as a capital contribution by the stockholders of
$627,723 for the forgiveness of their notes and as consulting expense for equity
given to the Consulting Company. During the year ended December 31,
2005, the Company received funding of $599,972 in the form of bridge
loans. On December 23, 2005 the Company terminated the Consulting
Agreement subject to the provisions thereof. The Company has no
further obligations of any nature to the Consulting Company. The
shareholder of one of the notes may contend, and has a possibility of being
successful, in having the amendment and assignment declared void requiring his
note be reinstated on the Company’s books. The accounting
entries made by the Company with regard to the first note are not to be
construed as a waiver of any rights the Company may have in law or equity under
the consulting agreement or any agreements related thereto, nor as an admission,
of an nature, by the Company.
Subsequent
to March 31, 2008, the Company was obtained a release of any liability to the
Consulting Company and the corresponding liability was assigned to a third
party. The vested value of the note that was assigned amounted to
$244,000 which converts into the Company’s common stock at a rate of one share
per $0.10 of note balance which amounts to 2,440,000 shares. During
2005 and 2006, a total of approximately $244,000 was recorded as consulting
expense.

date. During the period ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded
$836,518 in compensation expense and accrued compensation in connection with
these warrants.

We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dais-Analytic Corporation as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Dais-Analytic
Corporation. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not
required at this time, to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Dais-Analytic Corporation as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company
incurred a net loss of $2,233,992 during the year ended December 31, 2007, has
an accumulated deficit of $22,797,323, has negative working capital of $334,449,
and a stockholder’s deficit of $641,687 at December 31, 2007. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Background
Information and Certain Concentrations
Dais
Analytic Corporation (the “Company”), a New York corporation, has developed and
is commercializing applications using its nano-structure polymer technology. The
first commercial product is an energy recovery ventilator (“ERV”) (cores and
systems) for use in commercial Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
applications. In addition to direct sales, the Company licenses its
nano-structured polymer technology to strategic partners in the aforementioned
application and is in various stages of development with regard to other
applications employing its base technologies. The Company was
incorporated in April of 1993 with its corporate headquarters located in Odessa,
Florida.
Some
components of the Company’s ConServ product, such as the substrate used in
concert with the Company’s nano-structured materials, are currently purchased
from a single source or processed for the Company by a single
entity. Although the number of manufacturers of comparable materials
or processors of said materials may be somewhat limited, management believes
that other suppliers/processors exist who can provide similar
components/processing capabilities on comparable terms and is in the process of
identifying said sources and qualifying them. A change in suppliers,
however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales,
which would affect operating results adversely.
For the
years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, three and two customers accounted for 65
and 53 percent of the Company’s total
revenue, respectively. No other customer accounted for 10
percent or more of the Company’s total revenue.
2. Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. For the year ended December 31,
2007, the Company has a net loss of $2,233,985 and an accumulated deficit of
$22,797,323 has negative working capital of $334,449 and a stockholder’s deficit
of $641,687 at December 31, 2007. In view of these matters,
substantial doubt is raised about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The recoverability of recorded property and equipment,
intangible assets, and other asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial
statements is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends
on financing its future activities and its working capital needs largely from
the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other
traditional financing sources, including term notes and proceeds from
sub-licensing agreements until such time that funds provided by operations are
sufficient to fund working capital requirements. However, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its
efforts. The financial statements of the Company do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.

3. Significant
Accounting Policies
The
significant accounting policies followed are:
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
|
|
The
Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The
carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair
value, due to the short-term nature of these items and due to the use of
market rates of interest.
|
|
All
cash, other than held in escrow, is maintained with a major financial
institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may
exceed the amount of insurance provided on such
deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand
and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
|
|
Cash
held in escrow consists of convertible note proceeds associated with the
December 31, 2007 closings. Such funds were held in escrow
pending the receipt of the signed secured convertible promissory
notes. These funds were subsequently released from escrow on
January 3, 2008.
|
|
Inventory
consists of raw materials and is stated at the lower of cost, determined
by the first-in, first-out method, or market. Market is
determined based on the net realizable value, with appropriate
consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and
other factors.

Accounting Policies (continued)
|
Trade
accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from the sale of ERV
core and ERV units. The Company sells to its customers based on
its standard credit policies and regularly reviews accounts receivable for
any bad debts. The review for bad debts is based on an analysis of
the Company’s collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and
current economic trends. Based on management’s review of accounts
receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary at
December 31, 2007 and 2006.
|
|
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated
using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets
ranging from 5 to 7 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are
capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise
disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation
account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in
operations. Depreciation expense amounted to approximately
$3,500 and $7,900 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
|
|
Patents
are being amortized over their estimated useful or economic lives of 15
years. Amortization expense amounted to approximately $9,300
per year for each of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,
continuing until fully amortized in
2013.
|
|
Expenditures
for research, development, and engineering of products are expensed as
incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the
Company did not incur any research and development
costs.
|
|
Direct
loan costs of $94,162 incurred with the issuance of notes payable are
deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related
notes payable, $5,231 per month for 18 months. For the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred amortization
expense of $23,540 and $62,776,
respectively.
|
|
The
Company records all common stock as issued at the time when all of the
legal requirements for issuance of the common stock have been
met.
|
|
The
Company records amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling
costs as sales revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and
handling are included in cost of
sales.

Sales
are recorded when products are shipped to the customer. No
products or parts are delivered with any contingencies except for
defects.
|
|
Amounts
collected on behalf of governmental authorities for sales taxes and other
similar taxes are reported on a net
basis.
|
|
Revenue
derived from the sale of licenses is deferred and recognized as revenue on
a straight-line basis over the life of the license, or until the license
arrangement is terminated. The Company recognized approximately
$84,100 of deferred revenue associated with license agreements for each of
the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006.
|
|
The
Company follows SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses the financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and
intangible assets, not subject to amortization, to be held and used or
disposed of. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the carrying
values of long-lived assets are periodically reviewed by the Company and
impairments would be recognized if the expected future operating
non-discounted cash flows derived from an asset were less than its
carrying value and if the carrying value is more than the fair value of
the asset. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any asset that
it considered impaired.
|

In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004),
“Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be
recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on
their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during
which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the
award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective beginning January 1, 2006 using
the Modified Prospective Application Method. Under this method, SFAS 123R
applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled
after the effective date. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R),
the Company accounted for stock option grants using the intrinsic value
method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,” and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for stock
option grants.

As
a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), our earnings before income taxes and net
earnings for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $326,480 and
$558,521, respectively, less than if we had continued to account for stock
based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 for our stock option
grants. In addition, the effect of adopting SFAS 123(R) on the
net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was an
increase in the loss of $0.07 and $0.31, respectively, per
share.
|
|
The
value of each option granted under SFAS 123(R), as well as warrants issued
in connection with debt, is estimated at the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following

The
basis for the above assumptions are as follows: the dividend
rate is based upon the Company’s history of dividends; the risk-free
interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant; the
expected term was calculated based on the Company’s historical pattern of
options granted and warrants issued that are expected to be outstanding;
and expected volatility was calculated by review of a peer company’s
historical activity.

|
As
of December 31, 2007 and 2006, there was $271,875 and $260,705 of
unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested stock
options, respectively. This expense will be recognized over a
weighted average period of three
years.
|
|
The
aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at
December 31, 2007 and 2006, based on the Company’s closing stock price of
$0.30 and $0.70 as of the last business day of the years ended December
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which would have been received by the
optionees had all options been exercised on that date was $1,166,908 and
$1,009,206 at December 31, 2007, respectively, and $2,368,294 and
$1,844,422 at December 31, 2006, respectively. Intrinsic value
is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the
exercise price of the options.

Taxes
on income are provided in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for
Income Taxes.” Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise
from temporary differences associated with differences between the
financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured
by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these
differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
classified as current or non-current, depending upon the classification of
the asset or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified
as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary
differences are expected to
reverse.
|
|
Basic
and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average
number of common stock outstanding during the period. Common
stock equivalents, which amounted to 13,612,844 and 10,942,388 at December
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are not considered in the calculation of
the diluted earnings per share for the period presented as their effect
would be anti-dilutive due to losses
incurred.
|
|
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No.
159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an
item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value has been elected are required to be reported in
earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which
are required to be applied prospectively. The Company expects
to adopt SFAS No. 159 in the first quarter of fiscal
2008.
|
|
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48,
“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109.” The Company recognized no adjustment in the
liability for unrecognized income tax benefits as a result of the adoption
of FIN No. 48.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No.
160). The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority)
interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements
to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated
stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest”
accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to
noncontrolling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings.
Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and
decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early
adoption prohibited. Management is currently evaluating the effect, if any
the adoption will have on the Company’s financial position and results of
operations.

Convertible Notes Payable –
2007
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued convertible promissory
notes and warrants to purchase common stock to individuals in exchange for
proceeds totaling $2,450,000. The notes bear interest at nine percent
per annum and mature in December 2008. Principal and accrued interest are
payable in any combination of cash and common stock of the Company at the option
of the lender. Assuming that the lender allows the Company to repay
principal and accrued interest in common stock, the number of shares of common
stock issuable is determined by dividing the principal amount plus any accrued
and unpaid interest by $0.20. Accrued interest on the notes totaled
$6,152 at December 31, 2007.

The
convertible promissory notes contained an embedded conversion
feature. As such, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting
for Securities with Beneficial Conversion Feature or Contingently Adjustable
Conversion Ratio,” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to
Certain Convertible Instruments,” the difference between the effective
conversion price and the Company’s estimated fair market value of its stock
price on the commitment date of the notes was calculated to be
$1,138,331. The Company is amortizing the beneficial conversion
feature over the life of the convertible debt of one year and therefore
recognized interest expense resulting from the amortization of the beneficial
conversion feature of $30,048 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The
warrants to purchase common stock which accompanied the convertible promissory
notes are exercisable at $0.25 per share, vest immediately, and expire in
December 2012. Pursuant to APB No. 14, the Company valued the warrants at their
relative fair value of $1,311,669. To recognize the relative fair value of the
warrants, the Company discounted the notes and increased additional paid in
capital in the financial statements. The discount is amortized over the term of
the notes.

As
discussed in Note 3, $1,000,000 of these convertible notes payable were executed
on December 31, 2007. Such funds were held in escrow pending the
receipt of the signed secured convertible promissory notes. These
funds were subsequently released from escrow on
January
3, 2008.
The
Company gave the convertible promissory note holders registration rights to the
shares issued to them in connection with the convertible notes and warrants
pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Agreement”). Under
the Agreement, there are certain damages that will be assessed if the Company
does not file a Registration Statement that becomes effective on or prior to the
date that is 30 days following the effectiveness date. The damages,
as defined in the Agreement, is one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the amount of
the convertible promissory note holders’ initial investment for each calendar
month, or portion thereof thereafter from the effectiveness date until cured, up
to 8 percent of the amount of the note holder’s initial
investment. The effectiveness date is defined as the earlier of A)
the 150th day following the Filing Date (the 45th day following the completion
of the first conversion of the notes) or B) the date which is within five
business days after the date on which the Commission informs the Company that
they will not review the Registration Statement or that the Company may request
the acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and the
Company makes such request. The Company has recorded a liability in
the amount of $73,500 at December 31, 2007 related to the
Agreement.

Convertible Notes Payable –
2006
As of
December 31, 2006, the Company had convertible notes payable of $1,115,546 and,
together with accrued unpaid interest of 8 percent, was due 18 months from the
date of issue beginning April 2007 to February 2008. Interest begins
to accrue on the 180
th
day
after the date of the convertible note payable and is paid quarterly in
cash. In the event the Company consummates a $2,000,000 to $3,000,000
equity financing, the principal amount plus the accrued unpaid interest would be
automatically convertible into shares of equity at a rate of 50 percent of the
price per share of the equity financing shares. If the shares sold in
the equity financing are sold as units including warrants or other securities,
the note holders are entitled to those same securities upon
conversion. The Company recorded the interest under the effective
interest method.
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company converted $840,547 of convertible
notes payable, together with accrued interest of $50,484 into 3,258,323 shares
of common stock at a conversion rate of approximately $0.275 per
share. The debenture holders accepted these shares in full
consideration for the outstanding convertible notes. The Company
recognized additional interest expense of $438,560 as a beneficial conversion
feature because of the induced conversion to the note holders pursuant to the
accounting requirements of SFAS No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible
Debt.” An additional warrant may be issued to two of the foregoing
note holders in the event Company secures an equity investment or issues
convertible notes of $1 million or more and the underlying share price of said
securities does not meet a set price.

6. Related
Party Transactions
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, a stockholder and officer loaned the Company
$156,000. One loan was unsecured, due on demand and did not accrue
interest. The other two loans were unsecured, due in one and two
months, respectively, and accrued interest at 12 percent, increasing by 1
percent for every 30 days the principle balance is outstanding. Prior
to year-end, the Company repaid the loans.
The
Company rents a building on a month to month basis from a related party which is
wholly owned by two stockholders of the Company, one of which is the Chief
Executive Officer. The minimum lease payments on the building are
$3,800 per month. For the years ended
December
31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded $48,792 in rent expense to this related
party. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, $91,320 and $87,098,
respectively, were included in accounts payable for amounts owed to these
stockholders.
The above
amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would have been
incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent
parties.
7. Authorized
Shares
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company's board of directors approved a
proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 shares to 50,000,000
shares.
8. Preferred
Stock
The
Company’s Board of Directors has authorized 10,000,000 million shares of
preferred stock with a par value of $.01 to be issued in series with terms and
conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Company
has designated 400,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock; 1,000,000
shares of Series B convertible preferred stock; 500,000 shares of Series C
convertible preferred stock; and 1,100,000 shares of Series D convertible
preferred stock. The Series A through D convertible preferred stock
rank senior to the common stock as to dividends and liquidation. Each
share of Series A through D convertible preferred stock is convertible into one
share of common stock, except in specified circumstances as defined by the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, and is automatically converted into
common stock upon the occurrence of an initial public offering that meets
certain criteria. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the
preferred stock holders converted all of the outstanding preferred stock into
2,500,000 shares of common stock. No dividend or distribution may be
paid on any shares of the Company’s common stock unless an equivalent dividend
or distribution is paid on the Series A through D convertible preferred
stock.

10. Deferred
Revenue
In
exchange for a licensing agreement, the Company received an initial license fee
of $770,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003. As of December
31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has recognized $343,653 and $266,654,
respectively, in the statements of operations relative to this licensing
agreement since the receipt of the initial fee. The licensing
agreement also included future royalties of between 3% and 5% for each such
licensed product sold within Japan. A minimum royalty fee of $100,000 was
required in each of the first three years of the agreement. As of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has received the minimum royalty fees of
$300,000; however, to date no additional fees have been received.
The
Company also had a licensing agreement with a biomedical entity, whereby the
Company received an initial license fee of $50,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has
recognized $14,288 and $7,144, respectively, of deferred revenue as licensing
fees in the statement of operations in conjunction with this licensing
agreement.

11. Commitments
and Contingencies
The
Company has employment agreements with some of its key employees and
executives. These agreements provide for minimum levels of
compensation during current and future years. In addition, these
agreements call for grants of stock options and for payments upon termination of
the agreements.
The
Company is currently seeking to raise capital from the sale of equity or equity
backed securities to accredited investors pursuant to a private sale. To assist
it in this effort, Company has retained the services of investment advisors who
shall be compensated for services rendered upon the successful closing of the
raise. Said compensation, if any, shall be equal to a given percentage of the
capital raised plus a five year warrant to purchase shares of Company’s $0.01
par value common stock. The warrant shares are set at a given percentage of the
shares issued as a result of the raise.
In May of
2006, the United States Patent Office (“USPTO”) informed the Company that an
interference proceeding had been initiated between the Company’s patent number
US 6,413,298 and a pending patent application assigned to another
corporation.
In the
course of the interference the USPTO has permitted the Company to file five
motions. Each motion sets forth either the basis upon which the Company believes
the other corporation’s patent application is deficient for failing to meet
minimum USPTO requirements for a valid patent application or the manner in which
the Company believes the patents cited fail to meet the USPTO requirements for
interference. The other corporation has been permitted to file a motion seeking
benefit of a provisional patent application date and one requesting to add three
additional claims to the application. Oppositions and replies have
been filed by both parties.
At this
point, a possible financial outcome cannot be determined. However,
the interference will not effect the validity of Company’s other
patents.

11. Commitments
and Contingencies (continued)
The
Company entered into a six month financial and strategic consulting agreement
dated September 1, 2005 with a financial consulting company. (“Consulting
Company”) by which the Consulting Company was to provide the Company with
consulting services and assist it in the procurement of equity and debt
financing for business expansion and development up to a maximum of
$20,000,000. In exchange for these services, two of the shareholders
of the Company assigned their Convertible Notes Receivable, valued at $627,723,
to the Consulting Company. Per the terms of the Consulting Agreement
and its related documents, one half of the first note became vested in the
Consulting Company upon the execution of the Consulting Agreement which by the
terms of the Agreement resulted in $156,930 of said first note being subject to
conversion into the Company’s common stock at the rate of one share per $.10 of
note
balance. In addition, the agreement states that an
additional $156,931 would be potentially eligible for conversion upon the
Company raising $1,000,000 in financing from any source during the term of the
Consulting Agreement. Conversion rights were subject to pro-rata vesting based
on the funding secured. For financial presentation purposes, the
Company has accounted for this transaction as a capital contribution by the
stockholders of $627,723 for the forgiveness of their notes and as consulting
expense for equity given to the Consulting Company. During the year
ended December 31, 2005, the Company received funding of $599,972 in the form of
bridge loans. On December 23, 2005 the Company terminated the
Consulting Agreement subject to the provisions thereof. The Company
has no further obligations of any nature to the Consulting
Company. The shareholder of one of the notes may contend, and has a
possibility of being successful, in having the amendment and assignment declared
void requiring his note be reinstated on the Company’s
books. The accounting entries made by the Company with regard
to the first note are not to be construed as a waiver of any rights the Company
may have in law or equity under the consulting agreement or any agreements
related thereto, nor as an admission, of an nature, by the Company.
In 1995,
having determined biomedical applications were outside of its expertise, the
Company granted a license permitting the use of its polymer technologies to
develop, use sell and lease biomedical devices, inventions and innovations to a
biomedical entity (“Entity”). In June of 2004 Company and Entity entered into an
amendment to the 1995 license agreement whereby Entity paid Company $150,000 as
full and final payment of all sums due to Company under the
agreement. In June of 2005 Company and Entity entered into a license
agreement whereby the Company granted Entity the exclusive right, license and
privilege, including the right to sub-license, to use and have used the
Company’s know-how and patent rights to manufacture, use, sell, import, lease
and distribute products in the health care field which contain or are derived
from the Company’s proprietary or patented polymer. In exchange for the rights
granted under said license Entity paid a one time fee of $50,000 and will, for
the first ten years of the license or until fees paid pursuant to this agreement
reach $1 million dollars, pay Company one and one half percent of the net
sub-license price received by Entity as a result of Entity granting a third
party a sub-license to sell surgical gowns, certain clothing for use in certain
health care settings and personal hygiene products and will also pay one and one
half percent of the net sales price it receives with relation to the
aforementioned products when Entity sells said products on its own
behalf. The Chief Executive Officer is also a member of
Entity.

Taxes (continued)
As of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carry-forwards totaling approximately $16,400,000 and $15,000,000, respectively,
which begin expiring in 2012. As it is more likely than not that the
Company will not be able to utilize such assets, the Company has established a
valuation allowance to fully reserve such assets at December 31, 2007 and
2006.
As of
December 31, 2007, the Company has not performed an IRC Section 382 study to
determine the amount, if any, of its net operating losses that may be limited as
a result of the ownership change percentages during 2007. However,
the Company will complete the study prior to the utilization of any of its
recorded net operating losses.
13. Subsequent
Events
In
January 2008, the Company granted several employees a total of 900,000 options
to purchase the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.21 per
share. The fair market value of these shares at the date of grant was
approximately $169,000.
In
January 2008, the Company issued an additional $500,000 of convertible debt with
2,500,000 detachable warrants, which completed the $2,950,000 private equity
placement that began in December 2007. At this time, as discussed in
Note 11, the placement agent was issued five-year term warrants for common
shares equal in number to ten percent of the common shares underlying the
warrants issued as a result of the placement.
In
February 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with legal counsel to help
the Company in its registration of its shares. As part of this
agreement, the Company agreed to pay the $50,000 retainer by delivery of a
certificate representing 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a
warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known or that are currently deemed

required to deliver a prospectus. This requirement is in addition to
the dealer’s obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as
underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or

Item
14. Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
As
permitted under the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that all our directors shall be entitled
to be indemnified for any breach of duty, provided that no indemnification maybe
made to or on behalf of any director if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or
were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial
profit or other advantage to which he was not legally
entitled.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation further provides for indemnification of any person
for actions as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the
fullest extent permitted by law with regards to fines, judgments fees and
amounts paid in a settlement in an action or proceeding if the person acted in
good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was
unlawful.
Under the
Company’s Director and Officer Insurance Policy, the Company’s directors and
officers are provided liability coverage of $3 million (subject to retention)
while the Company itself is covered for securities claims only. The policy has a
one year term with annual renewal possible. The policy can be terminated by the
insured if there is a merger or acquisition which includes a change in ownership
of 50% of the voting shares. At such time, the insurer may elect to cancel the
policy and the total premium would be due. The Company may elect to then obtain
“run off” insurance at a cost of 150% of the initial policy premium. The policy
is a claim made policy. It only covers those claims made during the policy term.
If an act giving rise to a claim occurs during the term, but the claim is not
made until after the policy terminates, there is no coverage.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
Item
15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the past three years, we issued
the following securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”)
pursuant to exemption from registration
under Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act:
In
January 2008 we closed on an aggregate of $2,950,000 in gross proceeds from the
private sale to 21 accredited investors of 9% secured convertible
notes and warrants to purchase 1,4750,000 shares of our common stock. Pursuant
to the terms of this financing we granted the investors a security interest in
certain of our assets. We entered into an agreement with placement
agent, Legend Merchant Group, Inc. on October 5, 2007 pursuant to
which, Legend Merchant Group, Inc. received a cash commission equal
to 8% of the gross proceeds raised by Legend Merchant ( and its subagent), which
totaled $2,800,000, plus a warrant equal to 10% of the number of shares of
common stock underlying the warrants issued to convertible note holders, or
1,400,000.
In
February 2008 we issued 140,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase
an additional 140,000 shares to Richardson & Patel LLP, our legal counsel,
in connection with performance of legal services. On August 7, 2008 we issued an
additional 252,308 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional
252,308 shares to Richardson & Patel LLP, our legal counsel, in connection
with performance of legal services
From
October 2005 to February 2007 we sold an aggregate of $1,265,547 of secured
convertible promissory notes to 16 investors. Pursuant to a
subsequent conversion agreement between the Company and the various note
holders, the notes were converted into an aggregate of 38,005 shares of common
stock and warrants to purchase 428,677 shares of common.
From
December 2006 to March 2007 we sold 818,181 shares of common stock and warrants
to purchase 112,499 shares of common stock to six trust and family members of
the Daily family for aggregate gross proceeds of $450,000.
In December
2006 we issued a warrant to purchase 84,555 shares of common stock to Matrix,
USA in connection with providing strategic financial advice to the
Company.
In
February 2007 we issued 180,000 shares of common stock to Consulting
for Strategic Growth, Inc. for consulting services.
In
February 2007 we issued 50,000 shares of common stock to Spartan Securities, St.
Petersburg, FL in connection with Spartan’s senior management team providing
strategic financial advice to the Company.
In
February 2007, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock to Michael Williams.
P.A, in connection with legal services.
In
January 2008, we issued 439,293 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase
50,000 additional to the Robb Charitable Trust. The 439,293 shares of common
stock were issued in connection with an amendment to a prior note pursuant to
which one half of the principal and interest was payable in cash and one half of
the principal and interest was payable in common stock. The aggregate
value of principal and interest relating to the conversion was
$109,823. The warrant was issued pursuant to the terms of the original
note.
In June
2008 we agreed to issue and have since issued 100,000 shares of common stock to
Gemini Strategies, L.L.C in connection with consulting services related to
establishing an environmental based carbon credit program.
The
proceeds from the transactions described above were used for general corporate
purposes and working capital.

Item
17. Undertakings.
The
undersigned Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(a) To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(b) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective
Registration Statement; and
(c) To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement.
(2) To,
for determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the
undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of
the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless
of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(a) Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to
the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(b) Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
Registrant;
(c) The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
(d) Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
Registrant to the purchaser.
(5) To
provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting
agreements certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as
required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.
(6)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
(7) Each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement
relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B
or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be
part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first
used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such date of first use.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds
to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing this Registration
Statement on Form S-1 and has duly caused this Registration Statement on Form
S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized, in
the City of Odessa, State of Florida on the 11th day of August
2008.

|
Article SIXTH of the
Certificate, concerning the personal liability of directors of the company
for damages for breach of their duty as directors, is hereby amended in
order to clarify the scope and application of such provision. Accordingly,
Article SIXTH is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
“SIXTH.
No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or any
of its shareholders for damages (as defined in the next sentence) for any
breach of duty as a director, except for liability for acts or omissions
if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director
establishes that his acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or that he personally
gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not
legally entitled or that his acts violated Section 719 of the Business
Corporation Law of the State of New York. For purposes of the prior
sentence, the term “damages” shall, to the extent permitted by law,
include, without limitation, any judgment, fine, amount paid in
settlement, penalty, punitive damages, exercise or other tax assessed with
respect to an employee benefit plan, or expense of any nature (including,
without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements). Each person who
serves as a director of the Corporation while this Article SIXTH is in
effect shall be deemed to be doing so in reliance on the provisions of
this Article SIXTH, and neither the amendment or repeal of this Article
SIXTH, nor the adoption of any provisions of this Certificate of
incorporation inconsistent with this Article SIXTH, shall apply to or have
any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director or the
Corporation for, arising out of, based upon, or in connection with any
acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment,
repeal, or adoption of an inconsistent provision. The provisions of this
Article SIXTH are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent
of any and all other limitations on or eliminations of the liabilities of
directors of the Corporation, as such, whether such limitations or
eliminations arise under or are created by any law, rule, regulation,
by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise.”
|
|
|
|
|
(3)
|
A new Article EIGHTH providing
for indemnification of directors, officers and employees of the Company,
and certain other persons performing services on behalf of the Company, is
hereby added to the Certificate, which Article shall read in its entirety
as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"EIGHTH.
Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by
or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that the person
is or was a director, officer, incorporator, employee, or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as
a
director,
officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise
(including an employee benefit plan), shall be entitled to be indemnified
by the Corporation to the full extent then permitted by law against
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), judgments,
fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an
employee benefit plan), and amounts paid in
settlement
incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding
if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. Such right of
indemnification shall inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on
matters which antedate the adoption of this Article EIGHTH. Such right of
indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, incorporator, employee, partner, trustee, or agent and
shall inure, to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of
such a person. The indemnification provided by this Article EIGHTH shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which may be provided now or
in the future under any provision currently in effect or hereafter adopted
of the By-Laws, by any agreement, by vote of stockholders, by resolution
of disinterested directors, by provision of law, or
otherwise."
|
|
|
|
|
FOURTH. Each of the amendments
to the certificate of incorporation set forth above was authorized by the
unanimous written consent of the board of directors, followed by a vote of
the majority of all of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon at
a duly convened meeting of shareholders at which a quorum was
present.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be signed this
25th day of September, 2000.

OF AMENDMENT
OF
THE

OF INCORPORATION
OF
THE
DAIS

Under
Section 805 of the Business Corporation Law
We, the undersigned, President and
Secretary of Dais Analytic Corporation, hereby certify:
1. The
name of the corporation is Dais Analytic Corporation, which was originally
formed under the name of the Dais Corporation.
2. The
certificate of incorporation for Dais Analytic Corporation was filed by the
Department of State on April 8, 1993.
3. The
certificate of incorporation is hereby amended as authorized by Section 801 of
the Business Corporation Law to effect the following amendment:
To
designate 3,000,000 shares of previously authorized but unissued shares of
Preferred Stock as follows: 400,000 of such shares are designated as “Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock,” 1,000,000 of such shares as “Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock,” 500,000 of such shares as “Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock” and 1,100,000 of such shares as “Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock.” Paragraph FOURTH of the certificate of incorporation, which
refers to authorized shares, is amended to read as follows:
“FOURTH: SHARES
OF STOCK.
Section
1.
Authorized
Capital
. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of
stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock;” and
collectively referred to herein as the “Capital Stock.” The total
number of shares of Capital Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to
issue shall be 30,000,000 shares, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share.
Section
2.
Common
Stock
. Subject to any preferential or other rights granted to
any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive dividends out of funds of the Corporation legally available
therefore, at the rate and at the time or times as may be provided by the Board
of Directors and shall be entitled to receive distributions legally payable to
stockholders on the liquidation of the Corporation. The holders of
the Common Stock, on the basis of one vote per share, shall have the right to
vote for the election of members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
and the right to vote on all other matters, except where a separate class or
series of the Corporation’s stockholders vote by class or series.
Section
3.
Preferred
Stock
. Except as otherwise expressly prohibited by the
provisions of this certificate of incorporation, shares of Preferred Stock may
be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series in any manner
permitted by law as determined from time to time by the
Board of
Directors (any such issuance to require the affirmative vote of a majority of
the independent directors) and stated in the resolution or resolutions providing
for the issuance thereof, prior to the issuance of any shares
thereof. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix and
determine, subject to the provisions hereof, the rights and preferences of the
shares of any class or series so established.
HOUSTON:015413/00035:541407v13
3.1.
Designated Series of
Preferred Stock
. Of such 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 400,000
are hereby designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “
Series A Preferred
”),
1,000,000 are hereby designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the
“
Series B
Preferred
”), 500,000 are hereby designated as “Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock” (the “
Series C Preferred
”)
and 1,100,000 are hereby designated as “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”
(the “
Series D
Preferred
”) (the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred and Series D Preferred are collectively, the “
Series A-D
Preferred
”). Other than those rights and preferences which are
based on their respective Original Issue Prices (as hereinafter defined), each
of the shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred shall have the same rights and preferences and shall rank
pari passu
with each
other in all respects.
(a)
Rank
. The
Series A-D Preferred shall with respect to distributions of assets and rights
upon the occurrence of a Liquidation rank senior to (i) all classes of common
stock of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Common Stock), and
(ii) each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Corporation hereafter
created which does not expressly rank
pari passu
with or senior to
the Series A-D Preferred (collectively, the “
Junior
Stock
”).
(b)
Dividends
. The
holders of Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of
any assets legally available therefor, prior to and in preference to any
declaration or payment of any dividend on the Common Stock of this
Corporation. No dividends or other distributions shall be declared or
paid with respect to the Common Stock of this Corporation or stock of any other
class or series of Junior Stock unless at the same time an equivalent dividend
or distribution is declared or paid on all outstanding shares of Series A-D
Preferred. The dividend or distribution on shares of Series A-D
Preferred shall be payable based on the number of shares of Common Stock which
the holder of shares of Series A-D Preferred would be entitled to receive if it
had converted the shares of such Series A-D Preferred into Common Stock
immediately prior to the record date of such distribution. The right
to dividends on the Series A-D Preferred shall not be cumulative, and no right
to any dividends shall accrue to the holders of any of the Series A-D Preferred
in the event this Corporation shall fail to declare or pay such
dividends.
(c)
Liquidation
Preference
.
(i) In
the event of a Liquidation, the holders of shares of Series A-D Preferred then
outstanding shall be entitled to be paid for each share of Series A-D Preferred
held thereby, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
its shareholders, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to
the holders of any shares of Junior Stock, an amount (the “
Liquidation Amount
”)
in cash equal to: (i) the original purchase price per share
of each
share of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred, as applicable (the “
Original Issue
Price
”) (subject to adjustment under conditions analogous to those
provided in Section 3.1(f)), plus (ii) all declared and unpaid dividends thereon
to the date fixed for the Liquidation (the “
Liquidation
Preference
”). If the assets of the Corporation are not
sufficient to pay in full the foregoing Liquidation Amounts to the holders of
outstanding shares of the Series A-D Preferred and any other series or class of
stock ranking
pari
passu
with the Series A-D Preferred, then the holders of all shares of
Series A-D Preferred shall share ratably in such distribution of assets in
accordance with the amount that would be payable on such distribution if the
amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series A-D Preferred are
entitled were paid in full.
(ii) Upon
completion of the distribution required by subsection (i) of this Section
3.1(c), all of the remaining assets of this Corporation available for
distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed first to holders of any
Junior Stock classified as senior to the Common Stock and then among the holders
of the Series A-D Preferred and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of
shares of Common Stock held by each (including the number of shares issuable
upon the conversion of the Series A-D Preferred).
(d)
Redemption
.
(i) On
or after the fifth anniversary date of the issuance of the Series A Preferred,
the holders of any of the Series A-D Preferred (the “
Electing Holders
”)
shall be entitled, at their option, by written notice to the Corporation (a
“
Series A-D Redemption
Notice
”) to require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the
then outstanding shares of Series A-D Preferred (including shares of Series A-D
Preferred issued upon the exercise of warrants on or before the date of the
Series A-D Redemption Notice). Notwithstanding the redemption right
granted to the holders of the Series A-D Preferred set forth above, the Company
shall be required to redeem the Series A-D Preferred only if funds are legally
available therefor under the New York Business Corporation Law. If
the Company is unable to redeem the shares of Series A-D Redemption Notice under
the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the obligation of the
Company to redeem such shares of Series A-D Preferred shall continue until the
Company is permitted to redeem such shares in accordance with this Section
3.1(d)(i).
(ii) The
Redemption Price per share to be paid in any redemption pursuant to this Section
3.1(d) shall be determined as follows;
RP = XX%
x AV
Where:
RP = Redemption
Price.
|
XX% =
|
Percentage
obtained by dividing the number of shares of Series A-D Preferred to be
redeemed by the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding on a
fully diluted basis as of such date (excluding any unvested warrants,
options or other rights to acquire
shares).
|
|
AV =
|
the
appraised value of the Corporation as of the date of the Series A-D
Redemption Notice as determined by an independent third party appraiser
mutually agreed upon by Electing Holders and the Corporation (determined
through discounted cash flow analysis, multiple of EBITDA, multiple of
EBIT and/or other relevant valuation methodologies as determined by such
appraiser); provided, however, that in determining such appraised value
the appraiser shall account for illiquidity and/or for the restriction on
the transferability of any of such Series A-D Preferred by applying a
discount rate of not less than 10% nor more than 20% as determined in the
reasonable discretion of such
appraiser.
|
(iii) Upon
receipt of a Series A-D Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall, to the extent
legally permitted, redeem such shares of Series A-D Preferred as soon as
practicable following the date of the Series A-D Redemption Notice, but not
later than 270 days after the date of such Series A-D Redemption
Notice. The Redemption Price shall be paid in immediately available
funds to such account as designated by the Electing Holders. On the
date fixed for redemption, each Electing Holder shall surrender to the
Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be
redeemed, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances, and thereupon
the Redemption Price shall be payable to the order of the person whose name
appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each
surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In the event that less
than all shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new
certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
(e)
Voting
Rights
.
(i) Each
outstanding share of Series A-D Preferred shall entitle the holder thereof to
vote, in person or by proxy, at a special or annual meeting of shareholders (and
written actions in lieu of meetings), on all matters entitled to be voted on by
the shareholders of the Corporation. With respect to any such vote,
each share of Series A-D Preferred shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that
number of votes per share as is equal to the number of votes that such holder
would be entitled to cast had such holder converted its shares of Series A-D
Preferred into shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) on
the record date for determining the shareholders of the Corporation eligible to
vote on any such matters.
(ii) The
holders of Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to vote separately as a single
class to the exclusion of all other classes of the Corporation's capital stock,
with each Share of Series A-D Preferred entitled to one vote, to elect a pro
rata share of the Board (the “
Series A-D
Directors
”) based on such holders' ownership percentage of outstanding
Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-D
Preferred, but excluding Common Stock actually held by such holders), to serve
on the Board until their successors are duly elected by the holders of the
Series A-D Preferred or they are removed from office (with or without cause) by
the holders of the Series A-D Preferred; provided, however, that in no event
shall such pro rata share be less than one. In determining such pro rata share,
fractional numbers of directors less than 0.5 shall be rounded down and
fractional numbers of directors equal to or greater than 0.5 shall be rounded up
to the next whole director. Such right can be exercised at a special
meeting of the holders of Series A-D Preferred, at any annual or other special
meeting of stockholders and, to the extent and in the manner permitted by
applicable law, pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a stockholders
meeting. If the holders of the Series A-D Preferred for any reason
fail to elect anyone to fill any such directorship, such position shall remain
vacant until such time as the holders of the Series A-D Preferred elect a
director to fill such position and shall not be filled by resolution or vote of
the Board or the Corporation's other stockholders. In no event shall a Series
A-D Director be an employee, director or consultant of a Competitor (as defined
below) of the Corporation unless previously approved in writing by the
Corporation. For purposes of this paragraph, a “Competitor” shall
mean any person or entity primarily engaged in the development, manufacturing
and selling of (A) proton exchange membrane (“
PEM
”) based
electricity producing power plants and/or their individual components,
including, but not limited to, PEM stacks with hydrocarbon-based membrane
electrode assemblies, hydrocarbon gas refirmation, hydrogen-on-demand components
or systems and PEM-based power plant controls, and (B) membrane-based
applications, including, but not limited to, Pervaporation uses, heat/moisture
exchange, decellanation, boat coatings, single use adhesives, and biomedical
coating and component applications.
(iii) So
long as any shares of Series A-D Preferred are outstanding, the Corporation
shall not, without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Series A-D Preferred, whether by separate written approval or by
voting as a single class:
(A) Authorize
or issue any shares of Capital Stock (of any class or series) that ranks senior
to or
pari passu
with
any of the Series A-D Preferred;
(B) Authorize
or issue any shares of Junior Stock at a price per share less than the greater
of (I) 175% of the highest Original Issue Price paid by any holder of any of the
Series A-D Preferred (but excluding the Original Issue Price paid upon the
exercise of warrants to purchase Series B Preferred or Series D Preferred in the
event the holder thereof should fail to exercise such warrant for at least 50%
of the number of shares for
which
such warrant is originally exercisable), or (II) the most recent price per share
paid to the Company for any shares of its Capital Stock other than as set forth
in (A) above or with respect to issuance otherwise specified in Section
(3)(f)(iv)(A)(6) of this Article Fourth.
(C) Effect
any sale, lease, assignment, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or any
reclassification or other change of stock or any re-capitalization, or any
dissolution, liquidation, winding up or reorganization of the Corporation, or
any consolidation or merger involving the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries;
(D) Acquire
the assets, business or control of any other corporation or business entity in
excess of $500,000, through merger, consolidation or otherwise or make any other
form of investment in any corporation or business entity;
(E) Repurchase
or redeem any equity securities or pay any dividends on, or make any other
distribution with respect to, any equity securities, except for (i) repurchases
or redemptions called for or permitted by this Certificate of Incorporation or
(ii) repurchases of shares of Common Stock issued to employees, officers,
consultants or directors of the Corporation if repurchased therefrom pursuant to
arrangements approved by the Board of Directors (which shall include the
approval of a majority of the independent directors);
(F) Sell,
transfer, or otherwise convey any material patents, copyrights, trademarks, or
applications therefor or any material information that is proprietary or
confidential to the Corporation, except for licenses or sublicenses granted by
the Corporation in the ordinary course of business;
(G) Change
in any fundamental respect the business of the Corporation;
(H) Enter
into any contract, alliance, partnership or other transaction not in the
ordinary course of business involving more than $500,000;
(I) Amend
the Certificate of Incorporation or amend the Corporation’s Bylaws;
(J) Issue
indebtedness after the effective date of the first sale by the Company of any
shares of Series A Preferred in an amount exceeding $1,000,000 in the
aggregate;
(K) Increase
the size of the Board of Directors to greater than seven (7)
members;
(L) Increase
the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance to employees,
officers, consultants or directors upon exercise of stock options to a number
greater than 1,800,000 shares; and
(M) Consummate
any public offering of the Corporation’s capital stock (of any class or series)
pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, unless such offering is based
upon a pre-offering valuation of the Company of at least $400,000,000 with a
gross offering price to the public, before deducting underwriter discounts and
commissions, of at least $65,000,000, including proceeds from the sale of any
shares sold by selling security holders in such offering (a “
Qualified
IPO
”).
(f)
Conversion
.
(i)
General
.
(A)
Voluntary
Conversion
. Any holder of Series A-D Preferred shall have the
right, at its option, at any time and from time to time prior to a conversion
pursuant to Section 3.1(f)(i)(B) hereof, to convert, subject to the terms and
provisions of this Section 3.1(f), any or all of such holder’s shares of Series
A-D Preferred into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock as is equal to the product of the number of shares of Series A-D Preferred
being so converted multiplied by the quotient of (i) the Original Issue
Price divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) then in
effect with respect to such Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred or Series D Preferred, as applicable. The initial “
Conversion Price
” for
each of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred shall be the Original Issue Price for such Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred an Series D Preferred,
respectively, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in this
Section
3.1
. Such conversion right shall be exercised by the surrender
of the shares of Series A-D Preferred to be converted to the Corporation at any
time during usual business hours at its principal place of business to be
maintained by it, accompanied by written notice that the holder elects to
convert such shares of Series A-D Preferred and specifying the name or names
(with address) in which a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock
are to be issued and (if so required by the Corporation) by a written instrument
or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation
duly executed by the holder of its duly authorized legal
representative. All shares of Series A-D Preferred surrendered for
conversion shall be delivered to the Corporation for cancellation and canceled
by it and no shares of Series A-D Preferred shall be issued in lieu
thereof.
(B)
Automatic
Conversion
. Each share of Series A-D Preferred shall automatically be
converted, without further action by the holders of
the Series A-D
Preferred or the Corporation, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Price in accordance
with Section 3.1(f) hereof immediately before the closing of a Qualified
IPO. The Corporation shall provide written notice of such conversion
to each of the holders of Series A-D Preferred at least ten (10) days prior to
the anticipated effective date of the Qualified IPO which notice shall set forth
the anticipated effective time and closing date of the Qualified IPO and a
demand for each holder of Series A-D Preferred to surrender to the Corporation
the certificates representing such stock in exchange for certificates
representing Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion
thereof. In the event of such offering, the Person(s) entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Series
A-D Preferred shall not be deemed to have converted the Series A-D Preferred
until immediately before the closing of such offering, except that any such
Person may convert its shares of Series A-D Preferred at an earlier time in
accordance with Section 3.1(f)(i)(A).
(ii)
Mechanics of
Conversion
. As promptly as practicable after the surrender, as
herein provided, of any shares of Series A-D Preferred for conversion pursuant
to this Section 3.1(f) the Corporation shall deliver to or upon the written
order of the holder of such shares of Series A-D Preferred so surrendered a
certificate or certificates representing the number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A-D
Preferred may be or have been converted. Subject to the following
provisions of this paragraph (ii), such conversion shall be deemed to have
been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date that such
shares of Series A-D Preferred shall have been surrendered in satisfactory form
for conversion, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such shares of Series A-D Preferred
shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders
of such shares of Common Stock at such appropriate time, and such conversion
shall be at the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred, as appropriate, in effect
at such time;
provided
,
however
, that no
surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock while the share transfer
books of the Corporation shall be closed (but not for any period in excess of
five days), but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or
Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or
holders thereof for all purposes immediately prior to the close of business on
the next succeeding day on which such share transfer books are open, and such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made at, and shall be made at such
Conversion Price in effect at, such time on such next succeeding
day.
(iii)
Payment of
Dividends
. To the extent permitted by law, when shares of
Series A-D Preferred are converted, all dividends declared and unpaid on the
shares of Series A-D Preferred so converted to the date of conversion shall
be
immediately due and payable and must accompany the shares of Common Stock issued
upon such conversion.
(iv)
Adjustments to Conversion
Price
. The Conversion Price to any particular series shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(A) (1)
If the
Corporation shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred or Series D Preferred, as
applicable, were first issued (the “
Purchase Date
”), any
Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration
per share less than the Conversion Price applicable to such Series in effect
immediately prior to each such issuance, the Conversion Price shall forthwith
(except as otherwise provided in clause (2)) be adjusted to a price determined
by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance (including shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to
Section 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) or (bb)) plus the number of shares of Common Stock
that the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation of such issuance
would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance (including shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to
Section 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) or (bb)) plus the number of shares of such
Additional Stock actually issued.
(2) No
adjustment of the Conversion Price applicable to any of the Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred shall be made in
an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are
not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and
shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to
five (5) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being
carried forward, or shall be made at the end of five (5) years from the date of
the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except
to the limited extent provided for in subsection (5)(cc) and (5)(dd), no
adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3.1(f)(iv) shall
have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(3) In
the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be
deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any discounts,
commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for
any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale
thereof.
(4) In
the case of the issuance of the Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in
part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be
the fair value thereof as determined by the
Board of
Directors (which shall include the approval of a majority of the independent
directors) irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(5) In
the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the applicable Purchase
Date) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities
by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities,
the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of Section
3.1(f):
(aa) The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including
without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(3) and (4)), if
any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights
plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without
taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock
covered thereby.
(bb) The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to
convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of
time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for,
any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options
to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable
securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights
were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any received
by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights
(excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued
dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by
the Corporation (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments)
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any
related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in
the manner provided in Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(3) and (4).
(cc) In
the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or
in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such options or
rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the
antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred, to the
extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or
securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further
adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment
of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities.
(dd) Upon
the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights
to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to
such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price applicable to
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options,
rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be
recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock
(any convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually
issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights
related to such securities.
(ee) The
number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid
therefor pursuant to Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) and (bb) shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the
type described in either Section 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(cc) or (dd).
(6) “Additional
Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Section 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)) by the Corporation after the
Purchase Date other than:
(aa) Common
Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in
Section 3.1(f)(iv)(B)
hereof;
(bb) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, consultants, or directors
pursuant to stock option plans that are approved by the Board of Directors
(provided that any stock option plan adopted after that date hereof shall
include the approval of a majority of the independent
directors);
(cc) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to stock option agreements or other
commitments authorized by the Board of Directors prior to the date hereof;
and
(dd) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of any of the Series A-D
Preferred or as dividends or distributions on any of the Series A-D
Preferred.
(B) In
the event the Corporation should at any time, or from time to time after the
Purchase Date, fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible
into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “
Common Stock
Equivalents
”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the
additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the
additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof),
then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split
or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price applicable to
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of any of the Series A-D
Preferred shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of
shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such
Common Stock Equivalents.
(C) If
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Purchase
Date is decreased by a reverse split or combination of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, then, following the record date of such reverse split or
combination, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of any of
the Series A-D Preferred shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding Common Stock.
(v)
Other
Distributions
. In the event the Corporation shall declare a
dividend or distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of
indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash
dividends) or Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such case, the holders of
the Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series A-D Preferred are
convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of
Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution.
(vi)
Recapitalizations
. If,
at any time or from time to time after the Purchase Date, there shall be a
recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or
merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section
3.1(f) or in Section 3.1(c) above), provision shall be made so that the holders
of the Series A-D Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
conversion of their shares of Series A-D Preferred the number of shares of stock
or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a
holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on
such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall
be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.1(f) with respect
to the rights of the holders of such Series A-D Preferred after the
recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.1(f)
(including adjustment to the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of
shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A-D Preferred) shall be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.
(vii)
No
Impairment
. The Corporation will not (by amendment of this
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action), avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all the provisions of this Section 3.1(f) and in the taking of all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of
the holders of the Series A-D Preferred against impairment.
(viii)
No Fractional Shares and
Certificate as to Adjustments
.
(A) No
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of
the Series A-D Preferred, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share (with .5 being rounded
upward). Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such
conversion, shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
such Preferred Stock which the holder is at the time converting into Common
Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate
conversion.
(B) Upon
the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of a Conversion Price
applicable to the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred pursuant to this Section 3.1(f), the Corporation, at its
expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of such Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The
Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of any of
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred for which the applicable Conversion Price has been adjusted,
furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth
(A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price
applicable to the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred, as appropriate, then in effect, and (C) the number of
shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the
time would be received upon the conversion of a share of the Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred, as
applicable.
(ix)
Notices of Record
Date
. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a
record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining
the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash
dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each
holder of shares of any of the Series A-D Preferred Stock, at least 20 days
prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or
right.
(x)
Reservation of Stock
Issuable Upon Conversion
. The Corporation shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of
Series A-D Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from
time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of
Series A-D Preferred; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
then outstanding shares of such Series A-D Preferred, in addition to such other
remedies as shall be available to the holder of any of the Series A-D Preferred,
the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes,
including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite
stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to its Certificate of
Incorporation.
(xi)
Notices
. Any
notice required by the provisions of Section 3.1(f) to be given to the holders
of shares of any of the Series A-D Preferred shall be given in writing and shall
be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery to the party to be notified
or three days after deposit with the United States Post Office, by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the holder to be notified at
such holder’s address then appearing on the books of the
Corporation.
(g)
Registration of
Transfer
. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office a
register for the registration of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred. Upon the surrender of any
certificate representing any of the Series A-D Preferred at such place, the
Corporation shall, at the request of the
record
holder of such certificate, execute and deliver (at the Corporation's expense) a
new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the
aggregate the number of Shares represented by the surrendered
certificate. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such
name and shall represent such number of Shares as is requested by the holder of
the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the
surrendered certificate, and dividends shall accrue on the Series A-D Preferred
represented by such new certificate from the date to which dividends have been
fully paid on such Series A-D Preferred represented by the surrendered
certificate.
(h)
Replacement
. Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of
the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Shares of any of
the Series A-D Preferred, and in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other
institutional investor its own agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in the
case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation
shall (at its expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new
certificate of like kind representing the number of Shares of such class
represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated
the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, and dividends
shall accrue on the Series A-D Preferred represented by such new certificate
from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated certificate.
(i)
Certain
Definitions
. As used in Section 3, the following terms shall
have the meanings set forth below (with terms defined in the singular having
comparable meanings when used in the plural), unless the context otherwise
requires:
“Business
Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial
banks in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or executive
order to close.
“Liquidation”
shall mean the voluntary or involuntary liquidation under applicable bankruptcy
or reorganization legislation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation. For purposes of Section 3.1(c), “Liquidation” shall
deemed to be occasioned by, or to include (unless the holders of at least a
majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A-D Preferred shall determine
otherwise), (a) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of
any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) that results in the
transfer of 50% or more of the outstanding voting power of the Corporation; or
(b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation.
“Person”
means any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company,
trust, incorporation or unincorporated association, joint venture, joint stock

written consent of the board of directors and by all requisite shareholder
action.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be
signed by an authorized officer this 27

Section
1.
Authorized
Capital
. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of
stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock;” and
collectively referred to herein as the “Capital Stock.” The total
number of shares of Capital Stock which the Corporation shall have authority to
issue shall be 60,000,000 shares, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, having a par value of $0.01 per share.
Section
2.
Common
Stock
. Subject to any preferential or other rights granted to
any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive dividends out of funds of the Corporation legally available
therefore, at the rate and at the time or times as may be provided by the Board
of Directors and shall be entitled to receive distributions legally payable to
stockholders on the liquidation of the Corporation. The holders of
the Common Stock, on the basis of one vote per share, shall have the right to
vote for the election of members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
and the right to vote on all other matters, except where a separate class or
series of the Corporation’s stockholders vote by class or series.
Section
3.
Preferred
Stock
. Except as otherwise expressly prohibited by the
provisions of this certificate of incorporation, shares of Preferred Stock may
be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series in any manner
permitted by law as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (any
such issuance to require the affirmative vote of a majority of the independent
directors) and stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the
issuance thereof, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The
Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix and determine, subject to the
provisions hereof, the rights and preferences of the shares of any class or
series so established.
3.1.
Designated Series of
Preferred Stock
. Of such 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 400,000
are hereby designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “
Series A Preferred
”),
1,000,000 are hereby designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the
“
Series B
Preferred
”), 500,000 are hereby designated as “Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock” (the “
Series C Preferred
”)
and 1,100,000 are hereby designated as “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”
(the “
Series D
Preferred
”) (the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred and Series D Preferred are collectively, the “
Series A-D
Preferred
”). Other than those rights and preferences which are
based on their respective Original Issue Prices (as hereinafter defined), each
of the shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred shall have the same rights and preferences and shall rank
pari passu
with each
other in all respects.
(a)
Rank
. The
Series A-D Preferred shall with respect to distributions of assets and rights
upon the occurrence of a Liquidation rank senior to (i) all classes of common
stock of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Common Stock), and
(ii) each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Corporation hereafter
created which does not expressly rank
pari passu
with or senior to
the Series A-D Preferred (collectively, the “
Junior
Stock
”).
(b)
Dividends
. The
holders of Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of
any assets legally available therefor, prior to and in preference to any
declaration or payment of any dividend on the Common Stock of this
Corporation. No dividends or other distributions shall be declared or
paid with respect to the Common Stock of this Corporation or stock of any other
class or series of Junior Stock unless at the same time an equivalent dividend
or distribution is declared or paid on all outstanding shares of Series A-D
Preferred. The dividend or distribution on shares of Series A-D
Preferred shall be payable based on the number of shares of Common Stock which
the holder of shares of Series A-D Preferred would be entitled to receive if it
had converted the shares of such Series A-D Preferred into Common Stock
immediately prior to the record date of such distribution. The right
to dividends on the Series A-D Preferred shall not be cumulative, and no right
to any dividends shall accrue to the holders of any of the Series A-D Preferred
in the event this Corporation shall fail to declare or pay such
dividends.
(c)
Liquidation
Preference
.
(i) In
the event of a Liquidation, the holders of shares of Series A-D Preferred then
outstanding shall be entitled to be paid for each share of Series A-D Preferred
held thereby, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
its shareholders, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to
the holders of any shares of Junior Stock, an amount (the “
Liquidation Amount
”)
in cash equal to: (i) the original purchase price per share of each share
of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred, as applicable (the “
Original Issue
Price
”) (subject to adjustment under conditions analogous to those
provided in Section 3.1(f)), plus (ii) all declared and unpaid dividends thereon
to the date fixed for the Liquidation (the “
Liquidation
Preference
”). If the assets of the Corporation are not
sufficient to pay in full the foregoing Liquidation Amounts to the holders of
outstanding shares of the Series A-D Preferred and any other series or class of
stock ranking
pari
passu
with the Series A-D Preferred, then the holders of all shares of
Series A-D Preferred shall share ratably in such distribution of assets in
accordance with the amount that would be payable on such distribution if the
amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series A-D Preferred are
entitled were paid in full.
(ii) Upon
completion of the distribution required by subsection (i) of this Section
3.1(c), all of the remaining assets of this Corporation available for
distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed first to holders of any
Junior Stock classified as senior to the Common Stock and then among the holders
of the Series A-D Preferred and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of
shares of Common Stock held by each (including the number of shares issuable
upon the conversion of the Series A-D Preferred).
(d)
Redemption
.
(i) On
or after the fifth anniversary date of the issuance of the Series A Preferred,
the holders of any of the Series A-D Preferred (the “
Electing Holders
”)
shall be entitled, at their option, by written notice to the Corporation (a
“
Series A-D Redemption
Notice
”) to require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the
then outstanding shares of Series A-D Preferred (including shares of Series A-D
Preferred issued upon the exercise of warrants on or before the date of the
Series A-D Redemption Notice). Notwithstanding the redemption right
granted to the holders of the Series A-D Preferred set forth above, the Company
shall be required to redeem the Series A-D Preferred only if funds are legally
available therefor under the New York Business Corporation Law. If
the Company is unable to redeem the shares of Series A-D Redemption Notice under
the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the obligation of the
Company to redeem such shares of Series A-D Preferred
shall
continue until the Company is permitted to redeem such shares in accordance with
this Section 3.1(d)(i).
(ii) The
Redemption Price per share to be paid in any redemption pursuant to this Section
3.1(d) shall be determined as follows;
RP = XX%
x AV
Where:
RP = Redemption
Price.
|
XX% =
|
Percentage
obtained by dividing the number of shares of Series A-D Preferred to be
redeemed by the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding on a
fully diluted basis as of such date (excluding any unvested warrants,
options or other rights to acquire
shares).
|
|
AV =
|
the
appraised value of the Corporation as of the date of the Series A-D
Redemption Notice as determined by an independent third party appraiser
mutually agreed upon by Electing Holders and the Corporation (determined
through discounted cash flow analysis, multiple of EBITDA, multiple of
EBIT and/or other relevant valuation methodologies as determined by such
appraiser); provided, however, that in determining such appraised value
the appraiser shall account for illiquidity and/or for the restriction on
the transferability of any of such Series A-D Preferred by applying a
discount rate of not less than 10% nor more than 20% as determined in the
reasonable discretion of such
appraiser.
|
(iii) Upon
receipt of a Series A-D Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall, to the extent
legally permitted, redeem such shares of Series A-D Preferred as soon as
practicable following the date of the Series A-D Redemption Notice, but not
later than 270 days after the date of such Series A-D Redemption
Notice. The Redemption Price shall be paid in immediately available
funds to such account as designated by the Electing Holders. On the
date fixed for redemption, each Electing Holder shall surrender to the
Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be
redeemed, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances, and thereupon
the Redemption Price shall be payable to the order of the person whose name
appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each
surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In the event that less
than all shares represented by any such
certificate
are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed
shares.
(e)
Voting
Rights
.
(i)
Each outstanding share of Series A-D Preferred shall entitle the holder thereof
to vote, in person or by proxy, at a special or annual meeting of shareholders
(and written actions in lieu of meetings), on all matters entitled to be voted
on by the shareholders of the Corporation. With respect to any such
vote, each share of Series A-D Preferred shall entitle the holder thereof to
cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the number of votes that such
holder would be entitled to cast had such holder converted its shares of Series
A-D Preferred into shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share)
on the record date for determining the shareholders of the Corporation eligible
to vote on any such matters.
(ii) The
holders of Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to vote separately as a single
class to the exclusion of all other classes of the Corporation's capital stock,
with each Share of Series A-D Preferred entitled to one vote, to elect a pro
rata share of the Board (the “
Series A-D
Directors
”) based on such holders' ownership percentage of outstanding
Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-D
Preferred, but excluding Common Stock actually held by such holders), to serve
on the Board until their successors are duly elected by the holders of the
Series A-D Preferred or they are removed from office (with or without cause) by
the holders of the Series A-D Preferred; provided, however, that in no event
shall such pro rata share be less than one. In determining such pro rata share,
fractional numbers of directors less than 0.5 shall be rounded down and
fractional numbers of directors equal to or greater than 0.5 shall be rounded up
to the next whole director. Such right can be exercised at a special
meeting of the holders of Series A-D Preferred, at any annual or other special
meeting of stockholders and, to the extent and in the manner permitted by
applicable law, pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a stockholders
meeting. If the holders of the Series A-D Preferred for any reason
fail to elect anyone to fill any such directorship, such position shall remain
vacant until such time as the holders of the Series A-D Preferred elect a
director to fill such position and shall not be filled by resolution or vote of
the Board or the Corporation's other stockholders. In no event shall a Series
A-D Director be an employee, director or consultant of a Competitor (as defined
below) of the Corporation unless previously approved in writing by the
Corporation. For purposes of this paragraph, a “Competitor” shall
mean any person or entity primarily engaged in the development, manufacturing
and selling of (A) proton exchange membrane (“
PEM
”) based
electricity producing power plants and/or their individual components,
including, but not limited to, PEM stacks with hydrocarbon-based membrane
electrode
assemblies,
hydrocarbon gas refirmation, hydrogen-on-demand components or systems and
PEM-based power plant controls, and (B) membrane-based applications, including,
but not limited to, Pervaporation uses, heat/moisture exchange, decellanation,
boat coatings, single use adhesives, and biomedical coating and component
applications.
(iii) So

shall not, without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Series A-D Preferred, whether by separate written approval or by
voting as a single class:
(A) Authorize
or issue any shares of Capital Stock (of any class or series) that ranks senior
to or
pari passu
with
any of the Series A-D Preferred;
(B) Authorize
or issue any shares of Junior Stock at a price per share less than the greater
of (I) 175% of the highest Original Issue Price paid by any holder of any of the
Series A-D Preferred (but excluding the Original Issue Price paid upon the
exercise of warrants to purchase Series B Preferred or Series D Preferred in the
event the holder thereof should fail to exercise such warrant for at least 50%
of the number of shares for which such warrant is originally exercisable), or
(II) the most recent price per share paid to the Company for any shares of its
Capital Stock other than as set forth in (A) above or with respect to issuance
otherwise specified in Section (3)(f)(iv)(A)(6) of this Article

(C) Effect
any sale, lease, assignment, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all

dissolution, liquidation, winding up or reorganization of the Corporation, or
any consolidation or merger involving the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries;
(D) Acquire
the assets, business or control of any other corporation or business entity in
excess of $500,000, through merger, consolidation or otherwise or make any other
form of investment in any corporation or business entity;
(E) Repurchase
or redeem any equity securities or pay any dividends on, or make any other
distribution with respect to, any equity securities, except for (i) repurchases
or redemptions called for or permitted by this Certificate of Incorporation or
(ii) repurchases of shares of Common Stock issued to employees, officers,
consultants or directors of the Corporation if repurchased
therefrom
pursuant to arrangements approved by the Board of Directors (which shall include
the approval of a majority of the independent directors);
(F) Sell,
transfer, or otherwise convey any material patents, copyrights, trademarks, or
applications therefor or any material information that is proprietary or
confidential to the Corporation, except for licenses or sublicenses granted by
the Corporation in the ordinary course of business;
(G) Change
in any fundamental respect the business of the Corporation;
(H) Enter
into any contract, alliance, partnership or other transaction not in the
ordinary course of business involving more than $500,000;
(I) Amend
the Certificate of Incorporation or amend the Corporation’s Bylaws;
(J) Issue
indebtedness after the effective date of the first sale by the Company of any
shares of Series A Preferred in an amount exceeding $1,000,000 in the
aggregate;
(K) Increase
the size of the Board of Directors to greater than seven (7)
members;
(L) Increase
the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance to employees,
officers, consultants or directors upon exercise of stock options to a number
greater than 1,800,000 shares; and
(M) Consummate
any public offering of the Corporation’s capital stock (of any class or series)
pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, unless such offering is based
upon a pre-offering valuation of the Company of at least $400,000,000 with a
gross offering price to the public, before deducting underwriter discounts and
commissions, of at least $65,000,000, including proceeds from the sale of any
shares sold by selling security holders in such offering (a “
Qualified
IPO
”).
(f)
Conversion
.
(i)
General
.
(A)
Voluntary
Conversion
. Any holder of Series A-D Preferred shall have the
right, at its option, at any time and from time to time prior to a conversion
pursuant to Section 3.1(f)(i)(B) hereof, to convert, subject to the terms and
provisions of this Section 3.1(f), any or all of such holder’s shares of Series
A-D Preferred into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock as is equal to the product of the number of shares of Series A-D Preferred
being so converted multiplied by the quotient of (i) the Original Issue
Price divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) then in
effect with respect to such Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred or Series D Preferred, as applicable. The initial “
Conversion Price
” for
each of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred shall be the Original Issue Price for such Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred an Series D Preferred,
respectively, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in this
Section
3.1
. Such conversion right shall be exercised by the surrender
of the shares of Series A-D Preferred to be converted to the Corporation at any
time during usual business hours at its principal place of business to be
maintained by it, accompanied by written notice that the holder elects to
convert such shares of Series A-D Preferred and specifying the name or names
(with address) in which a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock
are to be issued and (if so required by the Corporation) by a written instrument
or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation
duly executed by the holder of its duly authorized legal
representative. All shares of Series A-D Preferred surrendered for
conversion shall be delivered to the Corporation for cancellation and canceled
by it and no shares of Series A-D Preferred shall be issued in lieu
thereof.
(B)
Automatic Conversion
.
Each share of Series A-D Preferred shall automatically be converted, without
further action by the holders of the Series A-D Preferred or the Corporation,
into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the
then applicable Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3.1(f) hereof
immediately before the closing of a Qualified IPO. The Corporation
shall provide written notice of such conversion to each of the holders of Series
A-D Preferred at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated effective date of
the Qualified IPO which notice shall set forth the anticipated effective time
and closing date of the Qualified IPO and a demand for each holder of Series A-D
Preferred to surrender to the Corporation the certificates representing such
stock in exchange for certificates representing Common Stock to be issued upon
the conversion thereof. In the event of such offering, the Person(s)
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of
the Series A-D Preferred shall not be deemed to have converted the Series A-D
Preferred until immediately before the closing of such offering, except that any
such Person may
convert
its shares of Series A-D Preferred at an earlier time in accordance with Section
3.1(f)(i)(A).
(ii)
Mechanics of
Conversion
. As promptly as practicable after the surrender, as
herein provided, of any shares of Series A-D Preferred for conversion pursuant
to this Section 3.1(f) the Corporation shall deliver to or upon the written
order of the holder of such shares of Series A-D Preferred so surrendered a
certificate or certificates representing the number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A-D
Preferred may be or have been converted. Subject to the following
provisions of this paragraph (ii), such conversion shall be deemed to have
been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date that such
shares of Series A-D Preferred shall have been surrendered in satisfactory form
for conversion, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such shares of Series A-D Preferred
shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders
of such shares of Common Stock at such appropriate time, and such conversion
shall be at the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred, as appropriate, in effect
at such time;
provided
,
however
, that no
surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock while the share transfer
books of the Corporation shall be closed (but not for any period in excess of
five days), but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or
Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or
holders thereof for all purposes immediately prior to the close of business on
the next succeeding day on which such share transfer books are open, and such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made at, and shall be made at such
Conversion Price in effect at, such time on such next succeeding
day.
(iii)
Payment of
Dividends
. To the extent permitted by law, when shares of
Series A-D Preferred are converted, all dividends declared and unpaid on the
shares of Series A-D Preferred so converted to the date of conversion shall be
immediately due and payable and must accompany the shares of Common Stock issued
upon such conversion.
(iv)
Adjustments to Conversion
Price
. The Conversion Price to any particular series shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(A) (1) If
the Corporation shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred or Series D Preferred, as
applicable, were first issued (the “
Purchase Date
”), any
Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration
per share less
than the
Conversion Price applicable to such Series in effect immediately prior to each
such issuance, the Conversion Price shall forthwith (except as otherwise
provided in clause (2)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such
Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (including
shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section
3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) or (bb)) plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the
aggregate consideration received by the Corporation of such issuance would
purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
(including shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section
3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) or (bb)) plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock
actually issued.
(2) No
adjustment of the Conversion Price applicable to any of the Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred shall be made in
an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are
not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and
shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to
five (5) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being
carried forward, or shall be made at the end of five (5) years from the date of
the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except
to the limited extent provided for in subsection (5)(cc) and (5)(dd), no
adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3.1(f)(iv) shall
have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(3) In
the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be
deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any discounts,
commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for
any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale
thereof.
(4) In
the case of the issuance of the Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in
part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be
the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors (which shall
include the approval of a majority of the independent directors) irrespective of
any accounting treatment.
(5) In
the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the applicable Purchase
Date) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities
by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock
or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or
exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes
of Section 3.1(f):
(aa) The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including
without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(3) and (4)), if
any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights
plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without
taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock
covered thereby.
(bb) The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to
convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of
time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for,
any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options
to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable
securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights
were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any received
by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights
(excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued
dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by
the Corporation (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments)
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any
related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in
the manner provided in Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(3) and (4).
(cc) In
the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or
in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such options or
rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the
antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred, to the
extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or
securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further
adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment
of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities.
(dd) Upon
the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights
to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to
such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price applicable to
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options,
rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be
recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock
(any convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually
issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights
related to such securities.
(ee) The
number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid
therefor pursuant to Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) and (bb) shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the
type described in either Section 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(cc) or (dd).
(6) “Additional
Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Section 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)) by the Corporation after the
Purchase Date other than:
(aa)
Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Section 3.1(f)(iv)(B)
hereof;
(bb) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, consultants, or directors
pursuant to stock option plans that are approved by the Board of Directors
(provided that any stock option plan adopted after that date hereof shall
include the approval of a majority of the independent directors);
(cc) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to stock option agreements or other
commitments authorized by the Board of Directors prior to the date hereof;
and
(dd) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of any of the Series A-D
Preferred or as dividends or distributions on any of the Series A-D
Preferred.
(B) In
the event the Corporation should at any time, or from time to time after the
Purchase Date, fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible
into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “
Common Stock
Equivalents
”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the
additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the
additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof),
then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split
or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price applicable to
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of any of the Series A-D
Preferred shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of
shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such
Common Stock Equivalents.
(C) If
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Purchase
Date is decreased by a reverse split or combination of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, then, following the record date of such reverse split or
combination, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of any of
the Series A-D Preferred shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in
outstanding Common Stock.
(v)
Other
Distributions
. In the event the Corporation shall declare a
dividend or distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of
indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash
dividends) or Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such case, the holders of
the Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series A-D Preferred are
convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of
Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution.
(vi)
Recapitalizations
. If,
at any time or from time to time after the Purchase Date, there shall be a
recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or
merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section
3.1(f) or in Section 3.1(c) above), provision shall be made so that the holders
of the Series A-D Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
conversion of their shares of Series A-D Preferred the number of shares of stock
or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a
holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on
such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall
be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.1(f) with respect
to the rights of the holders of such Series A-D Preferred after the
recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.1(f)
(including adjustment to the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of
shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A-D Preferred) shall be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.
(vii)
No
Impairment
. The Corporation will not (by amendment of this
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action), avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the
Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of
all the provisions of this Section 3.1(f) and in the taking of all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of
the holders of the Series A-D Preferred against impairment.
(viii)
No Fractional Shares and
Certificate as to Adjustments
.
(A) No
fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of
the Series A-D Preferred, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share (with .5 being rounded
upward). Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such
conversion, shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
such Preferred Stock which the holder is at the time converting into Common
Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate
conversion.
(B) Upon
the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of a Conversion Price
applicable to the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred pursuant to this Section 3.1(f), the Corporation, at its
expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of such Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred a
certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The
Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of any of
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred for which the applicable Conversion Price has been adjusted, furnish
or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth
(A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price
applicable to the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred, as appropriate, then in effect, and (C) the number of
shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the
time would be received upon the conversion of a share of the Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred, as
applicable.
(ix)
Notices of Record
Date
. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a
record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining
the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash
dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or
property, or to receive any other right, the Corporation shall mail to each
holder of shares of any of the Series A-D Preferred Stock, at least 20 days
prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any
such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or
right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or
right.
(x)
Reservation of Stock
Issuable Upon Conversion
. The Corporation shall at all times
reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of
Series A-D Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from
time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of
Series A-D Preferred; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
then outstanding shares of such Series A-D Preferred, in addition to such other
remedies as shall be available to the holder of any of the Series A-D Preferred,
the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes,
including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite
stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to its Certificate of
Incorporation.
(xi)
Notices
. Any
notice required by the provisions of Section 3.1(f) to be given to the holders
of shares of any of the Series A-D Preferred shall be given in writing and shall
be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery to the party to be notified
or three days after deposit with the United States Post Office, by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid and addressed to the holder to be notified at
such holder’s address then appearing on the books of the
Corporation.
(g)
Registration of
Transfer
. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office a
register for the registration of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred,
Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred. Upon the surrender of any
certificate representing any of the Series A-D Preferred at such place, the
Corporation shall, at the request of the record holder of such certificate,
execute and deliver (at the Corporation's expense) a new certificate or
certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number
of Shares represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new
certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of
Shares as is requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be
substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate, and dividends
shall accrue on the Series A-D Preferred represented by such new certificate
from the date to which dividends have been fully paid on such Series A-D
Preferred represented by the surrendered certificate.
(h)
Replacement
. Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of
the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Shares of any of
the Series A-D Preferred, and in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other
institutional investor its own agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in the
case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation
shall (at
its
expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of
like kind representing the number of Shares of such class represented by such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate, and dividends shall accrue on
the Series A-D Preferred represented by such new certificate from the date to
which dividends have been fully paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated certificate.
(i)
Certain
Definitions
. As used in Section 3, the following terms shall
have the meanings set forth below (with terms defined in the singular having
comparable meanings when used in the plural), unless the context otherwise
requires:
“Business
Day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial
banks in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or executive

majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A-D Preferred shall determine
otherwise), (a) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of
any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) that results in the

Corporation.
“Person”
means any individual, firm, corporation, partnership, limited liability company,

shareholders at a special meeting of the shareholders.

of Directors and shall be entitled to receive distributions legally payable to
stockholders on the liquidation of the Corporation. The holders of
the Common Stock, on the basis of one vote per share, shall have the right to
vote for the election of members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation
and the right to vote on all other matters, except where a separate class or
series of the Corporation’s stockholders vote by class or series.
Section
3.
Preferred
Stock
. Except as otherwise expressly prohibited by the
provisions of this certificate of incorporation, shares of Preferred Stock may
be issued from time to time in one or more classes or series in any manner
permitted by law as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors (any
such issuance to require the affirmative vote of a majority of the independent
directors) and stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the
issuance thereof, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The
Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix and determine, subject to the
provisions hereof, the rights and preferences of the shares of any class or
series so established.
3.1.
Designated Series of
Preferred Stock
. Of such 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 400,000
are hereby designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “
Series A Preferred
”),
1,000,000 are hereby designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the
“
Series B
Preferred
”), 500,000 are hereby designated as “Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock” (the “
Series C Preferred
”)
and 1,100,000 are hereby designated as “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”
(the “
Series D
Preferred
”) (the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred and Series D Preferred are collectively, the “
Series A-D
Preferred
”). Other than those rights and preferences which are
based on their respective Original Issue Prices (as hereinafter defined), each
of the shares of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred shall have the same rights and preferences and shall rank
pari passu
with each
other in all respects.
(a)
Rank
. The
Series A-D Preferred shall with respect to distributions of assets and rights
upon the occurrence of a Liquidation rank senior to (i) all classes of common
stock of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Common Stock), and
(ii) each other class or series of Capital Stock of the Corporation hereafter
created which does not expressly rank
pari passu
with or senior to
the Series A-D Preferred (collectively, the “
Junior
Stock
”).
(b)
Dividends
. The
holders of Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of
any assets legally available therefor, prior to and in preference to any
declaration or payment of any dividend on the Common Stock of this
Corporation. No dividends or other distributions shall be declared or
paid with respect to the Common Stock of this Corporation or stock of any other
class or series of Junior Stock unless at the same time an equivalent dividend
or distribution is declared or paid on all outstanding shares of Series A-D
Preferred. The dividend or distribution on shares of Series A-D
Preferred shall be payable based on the number of shares of Common Stock which
the holder of shares of Series A-D Preferred would be entitled to receive if it
had converted the shares of such Series A-D Preferred into Common Stock
immediately prior to the record date of such distribution. The right
to dividends on the Series A-D Preferred shall not be cumulative, and no right
to any dividends shall accrue to the holders of any of the Series A-D Preferred
in the event this Corporation shall fail to declare or pay such
dividends.
(c)
Liquidation
Preference
.
(i) In
the event of a Liquidation, the holders of shares of Series A-D Preferred then
outstanding shall be entitled to be paid for each share of Series A-D Preferred
held thereby, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to
its shareholders, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to
the holders of any shares of Junior Stock, an amount (the “
Liquidation Amount
”)
in cash equal to: (i) the original purchase price per share of each share
of Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred, as applicable (the “
Original Issue
Price
”) (subject to adjustment under conditions analogous to those
provided in Section 3.1(f)), plus (ii) all declared and unpaid dividends thereon
to the date fixed for the Liquidation (the “
Liquidation
Preference
”). If the assets of the Corporation are not
sufficient to pay in full the foregoing Liquidation Amounts to the holders of
outstanding shares of the Series A-D Preferred and any other series or class of
stock ranking
pari
passu
with the Series A-D Preferred, then the holders of all shares of
Series A-D Preferred shall share ratably in such distribution of assets in
accordance with the amount that would be payable on such distribution if the
amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series A-D Preferred are
entitled were paid in full.
(ii) Upon
completion of the distribution required by subsection (i) of this Section
3.1(c), all of the remaining assets of this Corporation available for
distribution to its shareholders shall be distributed first to holders of any
Junior Stock classified as senior to the Common Stock and then among the holders
of the Series A-D Preferred and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of
shares of Common Stock held by each (including the number of shares issuable
upon the conversion of the Series A-D Preferred).
(d)
Redemption
.
(i) On
or after the fifth anniversary date of the issuance of the Series A Preferred,
the holders of any of the Series A-D Preferred (the “
Electing Holders
”)
shall be entitled, at their option, by written notice to the Corporation (a
“
Series A-D Redemption
Notice
”) to require the Corporation to redeem all or any portion of the
then outstanding shares of Series A-D Preferred (including shares of Series A-D
Preferred issued upon the exercise of warrants on or before the date of the
Series A-D Redemption Notice). Notwithstanding the redemption right
granted to the holders of the Series A-D Preferred set forth above, the Company
shall be required to redeem the Series A-D Preferred only if funds are legally
available therefor under the New York Business Corporation Law. If
the Company is unable to redeem the shares of Series A-D Redemption Notice under
the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the obligation of the
Company to redeem such shares of Series A-D Preferred shall continue until the
Company is permitted to redeem such shares in accordance with this Section
3.1(d)(i).
(ii) The
Redemption Price per share to be paid in any redemption pursuant to this Section
3.1(d) shall be determined as follows;
RP = XX%
x AV
Where:
RP = Redemption
Price.
|
XX% =
|
Percentage
obtained by dividing the number of shares of Series A-D Preferred to be
redeemed by the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding on a
fully diluted basis as of such date (excluding any unvested warrants,
options or other rights to acquire
shares).
|
|
AV =
|
the
appraised value of the Corporation as of the date of the Series A-D
Redemption Notice as determined by an independent third party appraiser
mutually agreed upon by Electing Holders and the Corporation (determined
through discounted cash flow analysis, multiple of EBITDA, multiple of
EBIT and/or other relevant valuation methodologies as determined by such
appraiser); provided, however, that in determining such appraised value
the appraiser shall account for illiquidity and/or for the restriction on
the transferability of any of such Series A-D Preferred by applying a
discount rate of not less than 10% nor more than 20% as determined in the
reasonable discretion of such
appraiser.
|
(iii) Upon
receipt of a Series A-D Redemption Notice, the Corporation shall, to the extent
legally permitted, redeem such shares of Series A-D Preferred as soon as
practicable following the date of the Series A-D Redemption Notice, but not
later than 270 days after the date of such Series A-D Redemption
Notice. The Redemption Price shall be paid in immediately available
funds to such account as designated by the Electing Holders. On the
date fixed for redemption, each Electing Holder shall surrender to the
Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be
redeemed, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances, and thereupon
the Redemption Price shall be payable to the order of the person whose name
appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each
surrendered certificate shall be cancelled. In the event that less
than all shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new
certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.
(e)
Voting
Rights
.
(i) Each
outstanding share of Series A-D Preferred shall entitle the holder thereof to
vote, in person or by proxy, at a special or annual meeting of shareholders (and
written actions in lieu of meetings), on all matters entitled to be voted on by
the shareholders of the Corporation. With respect to any such vote,
each share of Series A-D Preferred shall entitle the holder thereof to cast that
number of votes per share as is equal to the number of votes that such holder
would be entitled to cast had such holder converted its shares of Series A-D
Preferred into shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) on
the record date for determining the shareholders of the Corporation eligible to
vote on any such matters.
(ii) The
holders of Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to vote separately as a single
class to the exclusion of all other classes of the Corporation's capital stock,
with each Share of Series A-D Preferred entitled to one vote, to elect a pro
rata share of the Board (the “
Series A-D
Directors
”) based on such holders' ownership percentage of outstanding
Common Stock (including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-D
Preferred, but excluding Common Stock actually held by such holders), to serve
on the Board until their successors are duly elected by the holders of the
Series A-D Preferred or they are removed from office (with or without cause) by
the holders of the Series A-D Preferred; provided, however, that in no event
shall such pro rata share be less than one. In determining such pro rata share,
fractional numbers of directors less than 0.5 shall be rounded down and
fractional numbers of directors equal to or greater than 0.5 shall be rounded up
to the next whole director. Such right can be exercised at a special
meeting of the holders of Series A-D Preferred, at any annual or other special
meeting of stockholders and, to the extent and in the manner permitted by
applicable law, pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a stockholders
meeting. If the holders of the Series A-D Preferred for any reason
fail to elect anyone to fill any such directorship, such position shall remain
vacant until such time as the holders of the Series A-D Preferred elect a
director to fill such position and shall not be filled by resolution or vote of
the Board or the Corporation's other stockholders. In no event shall a Series
A-D Director be an employee, director or consultant of a Competitor (as defined
below) of the Corporation unless previously approved in writing by the
Corporation. For purposes of this paragraph, a “Competitor” shall
mean any person or entity primarily engaged in the development, manufacturing
and selling of (A) proton exchange membrane (“
PEM
”) based
electricity producing power plants and/or their individual components,
including, but not limited to, PEM stacks with hydrocarbon-based membrane
electrode
assemblies,
hydrocarbon gas refirmation, hydrogen-on-demand components or systems and
PEM-based power plant controls, and (B) membrane-based applications, including,
but not limited to, Pervaporation uses, heat/moisture exchange, decellanation,
boat coatings, single use adhesives, and biomedical coating and component
applications.
(iii) So
long as any shares of Series A-D Preferred are outstanding, the Corporation
shall not, without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Series A-D Preferred, whether by separate written approval or by
voting as a single class:
(A) Authorize
or issue any shares of Capital Stock (of any class or series) that ranks senior
to or
pari passu
with
any of the Series A-D Preferred;
(B) Authorize
or issue any shares of Junior Stock at a price per share less than the greater
of (I) 175% of the highest Original Issue Price paid by any holder of any of the
Series A-D Preferred (but excluding the Original Issue Price paid upon the
exercise of warrants to purchase Series B Preferred or Series D Preferred in the
event the holder thereof should fail to exercise such warrant for at least 50%
of the number of shares for which such warrant is originally exercisable), or
(II) the most recent price per share paid to the Company for any shares of its
Capital Stock other than as set forth in (A) above or with respect to issuance
otherwise specified in Section (3)(f)(iv)(A)(6) of this Article
Fourth.
(C) Effect
any sale, lease, assignment, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or any
reclassification or other change of stock or any re-capitalization, or any
dissolution, liquidation, winding up or reorganization of the Corporation, or
any consolidation or merger involving the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries;
(D) Acquire
the assets, business or control of any other corporation or business entity in
excess of $500,000, through merger, consolidation or otherwise or make any other
form of investment in any corporation or business entity;
(E) Repurchase
or redeem any equity securities or pay any dividends on, or make any other
distribution with respect to, any equity securities, except for (i) repurchases
or redemptions called for or permitted by this Certificate of Incorporation or
(ii) repurchases of shares of Common Stock issued to employees, officers,
consultants or directors of the Corporation if repurchased therefrom pursuant to
arrangements approved by the Board of Directors (which shall include the
approval of a majority of the independent directors);
(F) Sell,
transfer, or otherwise convey any material patents, copyrights, trademarks, or
applications therefor or any material information that is proprietary or
confidential to the Corporation, except for licenses or sublicenses granted by
the Corporation in the ordinary course of business;
(G) Change
in any fundamental respect the business of the Corporation;
(H) Enter
into any contract, alliance, partnership or other transaction not in the
ordinary course of business involving more than $500,000;
(I) Amend
the Certificate of Incorporation or amend the Corporation’s Bylaws;
(J) Issue
indebtedness after the effective date of the first sale by the Company of any
shares of Series A Preferred in an amount exceeding $1,000,000 in the
aggregate;
(K) Increase
the size of the Board of Directors to greater than seven (7)
members;
(L) Increase
the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance to employees,
officers, consultants or directors upon exercise of stock options to a number
greater than 1,800,000 shares; and
(M) Consummate
any public offering of the Corporation’s capital stock (of any class or series)
pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, unless such offering is based
upon a pre-offering valuation of the Company of at least $400,000,000 with a
gross offering price to the public, before deducting underwriter discounts and
commissions, of at least $65,000,000, including proceeds from the sale of any
shares sold by selling security holders in such offering (a “
Qualified
IPO
”).
(f)
Conversion
.
(i)
General
.
(A)
Voluntary
Conversion
. Any holder of Series A-D Preferred shall have the
right, at its option, at any time and from time to time prior to a conversion
pursuant to Section 3.1(f)(i)(B) hereof, to convert, subject to the terms and
provisions of this Section 3.1(f), any or all of such holder’s shares of Series
A-D Preferred into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common
Stock as is equal to the product of the number of shares of Series A-D Preferred
being so converted multiplied by the quotient of (i) the Original Issue
Price divided by (ii) the Conversion Price (as defined below) then in
effect with respect to such Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C
Preferred or Series D Preferred, as applicable. The initial “
Conversion Price
” for
each of the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and
Series D Preferred shall be the Original Issue Price for such Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred an Series D Preferred,
respectively, and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in this
Section
3.1
. Such conversion right shall be exercised by the surrender
of the shares of Series A-D Preferred to be converted to the Corporation at any
time during usual business hours at its principal place of business to be
maintained by it, accompanied by written notice that the holder elects to
convert such shares of Series A-D Preferred and specifying the name or names
(with address) in which a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock
are to be issued and (if so required by the Corporation) by a written instrument
or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation
duly executed by the holder of its duly authorized legal
representative. All shares of Series A-D Preferred surrendered for
conversion shall be delivered to the Corporation for cancellation and canceled
by it and no shares of Series A-D Preferred shall be issued in lieu
thereof.
(B)
Automatic Conversion
.
Each share of Series A-D Preferred shall automatically be converted, without
further action by the holders of the Series A-D Preferred or the Corporation,
into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the
then applicable Conversion Price in accordance with Section 3.1(f) hereof
immediately before the closing of a Qualified IPO. The Corporation
shall provide written notice of such conversion to each of the holders of Series
A-D Preferred at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated effective date of
the Qualified IPO which notice shall set forth the anticipated effective time
and closing date of the Qualified IPO and a demand for each holder of Series A-D
Preferred to surrender to the Corporation the certificates representing such
stock in exchange for certificates representing Common Stock to be issued upon
the conversion thereof. In the event of such offering, the Person(s)
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of
the Series A-D Preferred shall not be deemed to have converted the Series A-D
Preferred until immediately before the closing of such offering, except that any
such Person may convert its shares of Series A-D Preferred at an earlier time in
accordance with Section 3.1(f)(i)(A).
(ii)
Mechanics of
Conversion
. As promptly as practicable after the surrender, as
herein provided, of any shares of Series A-D Preferred for conversion pursuant
to this Section 3.1(f) the Corporation shall deliver to or upon the written
order of the holder of such shares of Series A-D Preferred so surrendered a
certificate or certificates representing the number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A-D
Preferred may be or have been converted. Subject to the following
provisions of this paragraph (ii), such conversion shall be deemed to have
been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date that such
shares of Series A-D Preferred shall have been surrendered in satisfactory form
for conversion, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such shares of Series A-D Preferred
shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders
of such shares of Common Stock at such appropriate time, and such conversion
shall be at the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A Preferred, Series B
Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred, as appropriate, in effect
at such time;
provided
,
however
, that no
surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to
receive the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock while the share transfer
books of the Corporation shall be closed (but not for any period in excess of
five days), but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or
Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or
holders thereof for all purposes immediately prior to the close of business on
the next succeeding day on which such share transfer books are open, and such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made at, and shall be made at such
Conversion Price in effect at, such time on such next succeeding
day.
(iii)
Payment of
Dividends
. To the extent permitted by law, when shares of
Series A-D Preferred are converted, all dividends declared and unpaid on the
shares of Series A-D Preferred so converted to the date of conversion shall be
immediately due and payable and must accompany the shares of Common Stock issued
upon such conversion.
(iv)
Adjustments to Conversion
Price
. The Conversion Price to any particular series shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(A) (1) If
the Corporation shall issue, after the date upon which any shares of Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred or Series D Preferred, as
applicable, were first issued (the “
Purchase Date
”), any
Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration
per share less
than the
Conversion Price applicable to such Series in effect immediately prior to each
such issuance, the Conversion Price shall forthwith (except as otherwise
provided in clause (2)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such
Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance (including
shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section
3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) or (bb)) plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the
aggregate consideration received by the Corporation of such issuance would
purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance
(including shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to Section
3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) or (bb)) plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock
actually issued.
(2) No
adjustment of the Conversion Price applicable to any of the Series A Preferred,
Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred shall be made in
an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are
not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and
shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to
five (5) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being
carried forward, or shall be made at the end of five (5) years from the date of
the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except
to the limited extent provided for in subsection (5)(cc) and (5)(dd), no
adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3.1(f)(iv) shall
have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
(3) In
the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be
deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any discounts,
commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for
any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale
thereof.
(4) In
the case of the issuance of the Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in
part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be
the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors (which shall
include the approval of a majority of the independent directors) irrespective of
any accounting treatment.
(5) In
the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the applicable Purchase
Date) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities
by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to
purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities,
the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of Section
3.1(f):
(aa) The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise
(assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including
without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account
potential antidilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to
subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such
options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration
(determined in the manner provided in Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(3) and (4)), if
any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights
plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without
taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock
covered thereby.
(bb) The
aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to
convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of
time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for,
any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options
to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable
securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have
been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights
were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any received
by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights
(excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued
dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by
the Corporation (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments)
upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any
related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in
the manner provided in Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(3) and (4).
(cc) In
the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or
in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon exercise of such options or
rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable
securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the
antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price applicable to the Series A
Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred, to the
extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or
securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further
adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment
of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the
conversion or exchange of such securities.
(dd) Upon
the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights
to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to
such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price applicable to
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options,
rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be
recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock
(any convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually
issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or
exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights
related to such securities.
(ee) The
number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid
therefor pursuant to Sections 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(aa) and (bb) shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the
type described in either Section 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)(cc) or (dd).
(6) “Additional
Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Section 3.1(f)(iv)(A)(5)) by the Corporation after the
Purchase Date other than:
(aa) Common
Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in
Section 3.1(f)(iv)(B)
hereof;
(bb) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, consultants, or directors
pursuant to stock option plans that are approved by the Board of Directors
(provided that any stock option plan adopted after that date hereof shall
include the approval of a majority of the independent directors);
(cc) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to stock option agreements or other
commitments authorized by the Board of Directors prior to the date hereof;
and
(dd) shares
of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of any of the Series A-D
Preferred or as dividends or distributions on any of the Series A-D
Preferred.
(B) In
the event the Corporation should at any time, or from time to time after the
Purchase Date, fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of
Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible
into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly,
additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “
Common Stock
Equivalents
”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the
additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the
additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof),
then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split
or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price applicable to
the Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series D
Preferred shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of any of the Series A-D
Preferred shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of
shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such
Common Stock Equivalents.
(C) If
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Purchase
Date is decreased by a reverse split or combination of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, then, following the record date of such reverse split or
combination,
the Conversion Price shall be appropriately increased so that the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of any of the Series
A-D Preferred shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding
Common Stock.
(v)
Other
Distributions
. In the event the Corporation shall declare a
dividend or distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of
indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash
dividends) or Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such case, the holders of
the Series A-D Preferred shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such
distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series A-D Preferred are
convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of
Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution.
(vi)
Recapitalizations
. If,
at any time or from time to time after the Purchase Date, there shall be a
recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or
merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section
3.1(f) or in Section 3.1(c) above), provision shall be made so that the holders
of the Series A-D Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
conversion of their shares of Series A-D Preferred the number of shares of stock
or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a
holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on
such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall
be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.1(f) with respect
to the rights of the holders of such Series A-D Preferred after the
recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.1(f)
(including adjustment to the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of
shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A-D Preferred) shall be
applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.
(vii)
No
Impairment
. The Corporation will not (by amendment of this
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action), avoid or seek to avoid the observance
or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the

shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
then outstanding shares of such Series A-D Preferred, in addition to such other
remedies as shall be available to the holder of any of the Series A-D Preferred,
the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its
counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common

Corporation.
(g)
Registration of
Transfer

certificate representing any of the Series A-D Preferred at such place, the

receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of
the registered holder shall be satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing Shares of any of
the Series A-D Preferred, and in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation (provided that if the holder is a financial institution or other
institutional investor its own agreement shall be satisfactory), or, in the
case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation
shall (at
its
expense) execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of
like kind representing the number of Shares of such class represented by such

Company.

date shall be determined by the Committee under the Plan as follows: (a) if the
Common Stock is listed for trading on one or more national securities exchanges,

exchange or on NASDAQ on the date in question, or, if such Common Stock shall
not have been traded on such principal exchange on such date, the average of the
highest and lowest reported sales prices on such principal exchange or on NASDAQ
on the first day prior thereto on which such Common Stock was so traded; or (b)
if the Common Stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange
or on NASDAQ, as determined in good faith by the Committee, which determination

conclusive, to reflect any stock dividend, common stock split, share
combination, exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
separation, reorganization, liquidation or extraordinary dividend payable in
stock of a corporation other than the Company, all for the purpose of providing
dilution protection for the Common Stock, such that Optionee shall be entitled
to purchase the number of shares which Optionee would have been entitled to
receive immediately following such event had this Option been exercised in full

applicable thereto.
11.

. In
the event Optionee’s continuous status as an director of the Company or a
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company terminates, other than termination by the
Company for Cause, Optionee or his estate of legal representatives, as the case
may be, may exercise his Option, to the extent the Optionee shall have been
entitled to do so at the date of termination, for a period of three (3) years
following the date of such termination, or, for a longer period of
time as may be determined by the Committee, but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of the Option, and to the extent that the Option is not
exercised within such period, the Option shall thereupon terminate and be of no
further force or effect. In the

Manner of Exercise; Cashless
Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Payment for Shares; Buy-In Rights; No
Fractional Shares
.
(a) The
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in
whole or in partial increments of fifty thousand (50,000) shares, subject to the
limitations on exercise contained in paragraph 3 herein, by the surrender of
this Warrant, together with a completed Exercise Agreement in the form attached
hereto (“Exercise Agreement”), during normal business hours on any business day
at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder hereof at the
address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company) at any time during
the period set forth in paragraph 3 hereof and, subject to the terms of
subsection (b) below, upon payment to the Company by certified check or wire
transfer in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Exercise
Price by the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased in connection with such
exercise. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall be
and are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such
shares as of the close of business on the day upon which all of the foregoing
requirements have been met.
(b) Notwithstanding
any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing one (1) year following the
Issuance Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value (as defined below) of one share
of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation
as set forth below) and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act
providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is not then in effect by the date
such registration statement is required to be effective pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement or not effective at any time during the
Effectiveness Period (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, in lieu of
exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant
by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise
Agreement in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of
shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y -
(A)(Y)
B
Where
|
X
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
|
|
Y
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the
portion of the Warrant being
exercised.
|
|
B =
|
the
Per Share Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
|
For
purposes hereof, "Per Share Market Value" means on any particular date (a) the
last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC
Bulletin Board or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the
closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest
preceding such date, or (b) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC
Bulletin Board or any registered national stock exchange, the last closing bid
price for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by
the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices)
at the close of business on such date, or (c) if the Common Stock is not then
reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated
(or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting
prices), then the "Pink Sheet" quotes for the applicable trading days preceding
such date of determination, or (d) if the Common Stock is not then publicly
traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an
independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably
acceptable to the Company.
(c) Certificates
for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof
within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
been so exercised but in no event later than Five (5) business days (the
“Delivery Date”) after the date thereof. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be registered in the name of said
Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then,
unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time
of delivery of said stock certificates(s), deliver to said Holder a new Warrant
representing the right to purchase the remaining number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised.
(d) In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on
or before the date that is Five (5) business days following the Delivery Date,
and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “
Buy-In”
),
then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Warrant Shares that the Company was
required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times
(B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation
was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion
of the Warrant and equivalent number of shares of Warrant Shares for which such
exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common
Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its
exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the
Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover
a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an
aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under
clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together
with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
(e) This
Warrant shall be exercisable only for a whole number of Warrant
Shares. No fractions of shares of Common Stock, or scrip for any such
fractions of shares, shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
3.
Period of
Exercise
. This Warrant is exercisable, subject to the
following limitations, at any time or from time to time during the period
beginning on the Issuance Date and ending five years thereafter (“Term”). During
the Term, Holder may exercise this Warrant for only that number of shares of
Common Stock that have been issued to the Holder pursuant to the Convertible
Note Issuance; provided, however, in the event the Convertible Note is repaid in
cash on or prior to the maturity date of such Convertible Note, Holder may
exercise this Warrant for all of the shares of Common Stock issuable
hereunder.
4.
Shares to be Fully Paid;
Reservations of Shares
. The Company covenants and agrees that
all Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued and upon issuance
in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, will be fully paid and
nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period
within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue
upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant.
(a)
Stock Dividends, Splits,
Reclassifications, etc.
If prior to the expiration date, the
Company shall pay a stock dividend upon, or subdivide, split-up, reverse split,
reclassify or combine its shares of Common Stock or if such stock shall be made
exchangeable for other stock of the Company or if the Company shall effect a
capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock or consolidate
or merge the Company with another entity or sell substantially all of its assets
to another entity in such a way that the holders of the Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange
for Common Stock then the Company shall appropriately adjust the number, class
and/or exercise price of the Stock subject to the outstanding Warrant to reflect
the change in Common Stock. All affected terms and conditions of the Warrant
shall also be appropriately adjusted. If, as a result of any adjustment under
this section the Warrant Holder shall become entitled to a fractional share of
Stock, the Holder shall have the right to purchase only the adjusted full number
of shares of Stock and no payment or other adjustment will be made in respect to
the fractional shares of Stock so disregarded. The determination of the
Company’s Board of Directors regarding any adjustment will be final and
conclusive. The Holder of the Warrant shall be given prompt notice of any
adjustment of the number of shares issuable on exercise of the Warrant or any
adjustment of the exercise price of the Warrant as well as the taking of any of
the foregoing corporate actions.
(b)
Adjustments for Issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock.
.
(A) In
the event the Company, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any
additional shares of common stock (other than pursuant to Stock Equivalents
(hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the issuance date of this Note)
(“Additional Shares of Common Stock”), at a price per share less than the
Exercise Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Exercise Price
upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest
cent) determined by multiplying each of the Exercise Price then in effect by a
fraction:
(i) the
numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock
plus
(y) the number
of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the
aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Exercise Price
then in effect, and
(ii) the
denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock.
(B) The
provisions of paragraph (A) of Section 5(b) shall not apply to any issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under
Section 5(c). No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Note shall be convertible shall be made under paragraph (A) of
Section 5(b) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which
are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such
adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common
Stock Equivalents pursuant to Section 5(c).
(c)
Issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents
. The provisions of this Section 5(c) shall apply if (a) the
Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock
("Convertible Securities"), other than the Notes, or (b) any rights or warrants
or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities
(collectively, the "Common Stock Equivalents") shall be issued or
sold. If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common
Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less
than the applicable Exercise Price then in effect, or if, after any such
issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional
Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and
such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable Exercise Price in
effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Exercise
Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the
first sentence of subsection (A) of Section 5(b). No adjustment shall
be made to the Exercise Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock
Equivalent where an adjustment to the Exercise Price was made as a result of the
issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock
Equivalent.
(d)
Certain Issues
Excepted
. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Exercise Price under
Sections 5(b) and (c) in connection with (i) securities issued (other than for
cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii)
securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or
exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof (so
long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to
lower such price and/or adversely affect the Payee), (iii) securities issued in
connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering
arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the sole purpose of raising
capital, (iv) up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the
Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans as they now exist
or may exist in the future approved by the Board of Directors, (v) up to 250,000
shares of Common Stock issued to the Company’s consultants for services rendered
to the Company so long as such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors,
and (vi) any warrants issued to the placement agent and its designees for the
transactions contemplated hereby.

subdivide, split-up, reverse split, reclassify or combine its shares of Common
Stock or if such stock shall be made exchangeable for other stock of the Company
or if the Company shall effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of
the capital stock or consolidate or merge the Company with another entity or
sell substantially all of its assets to another entity in such a way that the
holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, or
assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock then the Company shall
appropriately adjust the number, class and/or exercise price of the Stock
subject to the outstanding Warrant to reflect the change in Common Stock. All
affected terms and conditions of the Warrant shall also be appropriately
adjusted. If, as a result of any adjustment under this section the Warrant
Holder shall become entitled to a fractional share of Stock, the Holder shall
have the right to purchase only the adjusted full number of shares of Stock and

of Stock so disregarded. The determination of the Company’s Board of Directors
regarding any adjustment will be final and conclusive. The Holder of the Warrant

No Fractional Shares
.
(a) The
rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in
whole or in partial increments of fifty thousand (50,000) shares, subject to the
limitations on exercise contained in paragraph 3 herein, by the surrender of
this Warrant, together with a completed Exercise Agreement in the form attached
hereto (“Exercise Agreement”), during normal business hours on any business day
at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the
Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder hereof at the
address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company) at any time during
the period set forth in paragraph 3 hereof and, subject to the terms of
subsection (b) below, upon payment to the Company by certified check or wire
transfer in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Exercise
Price by the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased in connection with such
exercise. The Company agrees that the shares so purchased shall
be and
are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares
as of the close of business on the day upon which all of the foregoing
requirements have been met.
(b) Notwithstanding
any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing one (1) year following the
Issuance Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value (as defined below) of one share
of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation
as set forth below) and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act
providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is not then in effect by the date
such registration statement is required to be effective pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement or not effective at any time during the
Effectiveness Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, in lieu of
exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant
by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to an amount (as determined below) by surrender of this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise
Agreement in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of
shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y -
(A)(Y)
B
Where
|
X
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Holder.
|
|
Y
=
|
the
number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the
Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the
portion of the Warrant being
exercised.
|
B
= the Per Share
Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
For
purposes hereof, "Per Share Market Value" means on any particular date (a) the
last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock on such date on the OTC
Bulletin Board or another registered national stock exchange on which the Common
Stock is then listed, or if there is no such price on such date, then the
closing bid price on such exchange or quotation system on the date nearest
preceding such date, or (b) if the Common Stock is not listed then on the OTC
Bulletin Board or any registered national stock exchange, the last closing bid
price for a share of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market, as reported by
the OTC Bulletin Board or in the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices)
at the close of business on such date, or (c) if the Common Stock is not then
reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated
(or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting
prices), then the "Pink Sheet" quotes for the applicable trading days preceding
such date of determination, or (d) if the Common Stock is not then publicly
traded the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an
independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably
acceptable to the Company.
(c) Certificates
for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof
within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have
been so exercised but in no event later than Five (5) business days (the
“Delivery Date”) after the date thereof. The stock certificate or
certificates so delivered shall be registered in the name of said
Holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then,
unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time
of delivery of said stock certificates(s), deliver to said Holder a new Warrant
representing the right to purchase the remaining number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been
exercised.
(d) In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the date
that is Five (5) business days following the Delivery Date, and if after such
date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
upon such exercise (a “
Buy-In”
), then the
Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the
number of shares of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to
the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which
the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at
the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and
equivalent number of shares of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not
honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery
obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to
an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price
giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the
immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder
$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the
amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable
confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the
Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any
other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without
limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with
respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
(e) This
Warrant shall be exercisable only for a whole number of Warrant
Shares. No fractions of shares of Common Stock, or scrip for any such
fractions of shares, shall be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant.
3.
Period of
Exercise
. This Warrant is exercisable, subject to the
following limitations, at any time or from time to time during the period
beginning on the Issuance Date and ending five years thereafter (“Term”). During
the Term, Holder may exercise this Warrant for only that number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares available hereunder
times a ratio the numerator of which is the total aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock issued to the Convertible Noteholders pursuant to any conversion of
the Convertible Notes as of the date of the proposed exercise and the
denominator of which is the total aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
that are subject to issuance to the Convertible Noteholders pursuant to the
Convertible Note Issuance; provided, however, in the event the Convertible Note
is repaid in full in cash on or prior to the maturity date of such Convertible
Note, Holder may exercise this Warrant for all of the shares of Common Stock
issuable hereunder
4.
Shares to be Fully Paid;
Reservations of Shares
. The Company covenants and agrees that
all Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and validly issued and upon issuance
in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, will be fully paid and
nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period
within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the
Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issue
upon exercise of the subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant.
5.
Adjustment
.
(a)
Stock Dividends, Splits,
Reclassifications, etc.
If prior to the expiration date, the
Company shall pay a stock dividend upon, or subdivide, split-up, reverse split,
reclassify or combine its shares of Common Stock or if such stock shall be made
exchangeable for other stock of the Company or if the Company shall effect a
capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock or consolidate
or merge the Company with another entity or sell substantially all of its assets
to another entity in such a way that the holders of the Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange
for Common Stock then the Company shall appropriately adjust the number, class
and/or exercise price of the Stock subject to the outstanding Warrant to reflect
the change in Common Stock. All affected terms and conditions of the Warrant
shall also be appropriately adjusted. If, as a result of any adjustment under
this section the Warrant Holder shall become entitled to a fractional share of
Stock, the Holder shall have the right to purchase only the adjusted full number
of shares of Stock and no payment or other adjustment will be made in respect to
the fractional shares of Stock so disregarded. The determination of the
Company’s Board of Directors regarding any adjustment will be final and
conclusive. The Holder of the Warrant shall be given prompt notice of any
adjustment of the number of shares issuable on exercise of the Warrant or any
adjustment of the exercise price of the Warrant as well as the taking of any of
the foregoing corporate actions.
(b)
Adjustments for Issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock.
.
(A) In
the event the Company, shall, at any time, from time to
time,
issue or sell any additional shares of common stock (other than pursuant to
Stock Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the issuance
date of this Note) (“Additional Shares of Common Stock”), at a price per share
less than the Exercise Price then in effect or without consideration, then the
Exercise Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded
to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying each of the Exercise Price then
in effect by a fraction:
(i) the
numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock
plus
(y) the number
of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the
aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Exercise Price
then in effect, and
(ii) the
denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock.
(B) The
provisions of paragraph (A) of Section 5(b) shall not apply to any issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under
Section 5(c). No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Note shall be convertible shall be made under paragraph (A) of
Section 5(b) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which
are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such
adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common
Stock Equivalents pursuant to Section 5(c).
(c)
Issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents
. The provisions of this Section 5(c) shall apply if (a) the
Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock
("Convertible Securities"), other than the Notes, or (b) any rights or warrants
or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities
(collectively, the "Common Stock Equivalents") shall be issued or
sold. If the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common
Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such Common Stock Equivalent shall be less
than the applicable Exercise Price then in effect, or if, after any such
issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional
Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and
such price as so amended shall be less than the applicable Exercise Price in
effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Exercise
Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the
first sentence of subsection (A) of Section 5(b). No adjustment shall
be made to the Exercise Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the
exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock
Equivalent where an adjustment to the Exercise Price was made as a result of the
issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock
Equivalent.
(d)
Certain Issues
Excepted
. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Exercise Price under
Sections 5(b) and (c) in connection with (i) securities issued (other than for
cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii)
securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or
exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof (so
long as the conversion or exercise price in such securities are not amended to
lower such price and/or adversely affect the Payee), (iii) securities issued in
connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other partnering
arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the sole purpose of raising
capital, (iv) up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the
Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans as they now exist
or may exist in the future approved by the Board of Directors, (v) up to 250,000
shares of Common Stock issued to the Company’s consultants for services rendered
to the Company so long as such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors,
and (vi) any warrants issued to the placement agent and its designees for the
transactions contemplated hereby.
6.

By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents,
warrants and covenant that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this

of exercise of this Warrant and even then will not be available
unless a public market then exists for the common stock, adequate information
concerning the Company then made available to the public, and other terms and
conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that all stock certificates
representing shares of stock issued to Holder upon exercise of this Warrant may
have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:

WARRANT AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER
APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
The
Company agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the
Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to
making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice
to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such
proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the
effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not
required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become
effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other

and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification
under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in
connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable
state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption
exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such
notice from a holder within three (3) business days. In the case of
any proposed transfer under this Section 6, the Company will use reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws,
but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state
where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to
tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then
subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state
for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the
Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 6

sale of securities or any other voluntary action and the surviving entity is not
a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or its Common Stock is not listed or quoted on a national
securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin
Board, then the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s expense, to have
the Company pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the value of this
Warrant calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes formula.
8.
No Rights or Liabilities as
a Shareholder
. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holders
hereof to any voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder of the
Company. No provision of this Warrant, in the absence of affirmative
action by the Holder hereof to purchase Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such Holder for the Exercise Price or as a shareholder of the
Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of
the Company.
Call.
The
Company shall have the right, upon notice to the Holder (“Call Notice”), to

“Call Date”). The Company covenants to honor all exercises of this
Warrant up until 5:00pm (Eastern Time) on the Call Date, and any such exercises
will be applied against the portion of the Warrant being Called. The
Call Notice shall be void if on the Call Date, the Warrant Shares are no longer

HAVE MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,

"
Secured Convertible
Promissory Note – Dais Analytic Corp. – Page 2
The
Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion
Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any
transfer of any such securities, the Payee shall give written notice to the
Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such
proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has
received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the
effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not
required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration
statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has become
effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and
qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not
required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances
that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification
under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in
connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable
state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption
exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such
notice from a holder within five (5) Business Days. In the case of
any proposed transfer under this Section 6, the Company will use reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws,
but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state
where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to
tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then
subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state
for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the
Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 4(iv)
shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions
on transfer contained in any other section of this Note. Whenever a
certificate representing the Conversion Shares is required to be issued to a the
Payee without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing
the Conversion Shares, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the
account of the Holder's Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system so long as
the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DWAC system.
(v) Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the conversion of this Convertible Note
shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on
which the Payee gives notice of the conversion to the Company. At
such time as such conversion has been effected, the rights of the Payee of this
Convertible Note as the Payee of this Convertible Note shall cease.
Secured Convertible
Promissory Note – Dais Analytic Corp. – Page 3
(vi) As
soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within
Five (5) Business Days (the “
Delivery Date
”) of
all legal requirements for the issuance of said stock having been met), the
Company shall deliver to the converting holder a certificate or certificates
representing the number of shares Company common stock issuable by reason of
such conversion in the name of the holder.
(vii) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic
loss to the Payee. If the Company fails to deliver to the Payee such
shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section
hereunder by the date that is Five (5) Business Days following the Delivery
Date, the Company shall pay to such Payee, in cash, an amount per Business Day
for each Business Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates
are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 5% per annum,
accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full,
equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes requested to be
converted for each business day thereafter (which amount shall be paid as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit
a Payee's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the
period specified herein and such Payee shall have the right to pursue all
remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a
decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).
(viii) In
addition to any other rights available to the Payee, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Payee a certificate or certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note on
or before the date that is Five (5) Business Days following the Delivery Date,
and if after such date the Payee is required by its broker to purchase (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Payee of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of this Note which the Payee anticipated receiving upon such exercise
(a “
Buy-In
”),
then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Payee the amount by which (x) the
Payee’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
this Note that the Company was required to deliver to the Payee in connection
with the conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving
rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the
Payee, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares
of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the
Payee the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the
Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations
hereunder. For example, if the Payee purchases Common Stock having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Payee $1,000. The
Payee shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to
the Payee in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and
other evidence
reasonably
requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a Payee’s right
to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity
including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this
Convertible Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
Secured Convertible
Promissory Note – Dais Analytic Corp. – Page 4
(ix) The
issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this
Convertible Note shall be made without charge to the holder hereof for any
issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Company in
connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common
Stock. Upon conversion of this Convertible Note, the Company shall
take all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Common Stock
issuable with respect to such conversion shall be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
(x)
The Company shall not close its books against the transfer Common Stock
issued or issuable upon conversion of this Convertible Note in any manner which
interferes with the timely conversion of this Convertible Note.
(xi) The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion hereunder, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion. All shares of such capital stock which are so issuable
shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
free from all taxes, liens and charges. The Company shall take all
reasonable actions necessary to assure that all such Common Stock may be so
issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental
regulation.
(xii) Payee
acknowledges and agrees that the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the
position that coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the
box” prior to the effective date of its registration statement is a violation of
Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5.
Accordingly, Payee agrees not to use any of the shares underlying the Promissory
Note or the Warrant to cover any short sales made prior to the effective date of
any registration statement.

(i)
Adjustments for
Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock

(A) In the
event the Company, shall, at any time, from time to time, issue or sell any
additional shares of common stock (other than pursuant to Common Stock
Equivalents (hereafter defined) granted or issued prior to the issuance date of
this Note) (“
Additional Shares of Common
Stock
”), at a price per share less than the Conversion Price then in
effect or without consideration, then the Conversion Price upon each such
issuance shall be adjusted to that price (rounded to the nearest cent)
determined by multiplying each of the Conversion Price then in effect by a
fraction:
(i) the
numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional
Shares of Common Stock
plus
(y) the number
of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the
aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Conversion
Price then in effect, and
Secured Convertible

denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock.
(B) The
provisions of paragraph (A) of Section 5(i) shall not apply to any issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under
Section 5(ii). No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock
for which this Note shall be convertible shall be made under paragraph (i) of
Section 5(i) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which

Stock Equivalents pursuant to Section 5(ii).

warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities
(collectively, the "
Common Stock
Equivalents

for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable pursuant to any such
Common Stock Equivalent shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then
in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price
per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter
is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall be less than the
applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or
adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or
amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection
(i)(A) of this Section 5. No adjustment shall be made to the
Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise,
conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent
where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance
or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.
(iii)
Certain Issues

Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price
under this Section 5 in connection with (i) securities issued (other than for
cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii)

exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof (so

lower such price and/or adversely affect the Payee), (iii) securities issued in
connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or other

between such persons and the Corporation's shareholders, and providing such
persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum
efforts in the creation of shareholder value. The Plan is also intended to
qualify certain compensation awarded under the Plan for tax deductibility under

3.
Administration
.
(a)
Authority of the Committee.
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee except to the extent the
Board elects to administer the Plan, in which case references herein to the
"Committee" shall be deemed to include references to the "Board". The
Committee shall have full and final authority, in each case subject to and
consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to select Eligible Persons to become
Participants, grant Awards, determine the type, number and other terms and
conditions of, and all other matters relating to, Awards, prescribe Award
agreements (which need not be identical for each Participant) and rules and
regulations for the administration of the Plan, construe and interpret the Plan
and Award agreements and correct defects, supply omissions or reconcile
inconsistencies therein, and to make all other decisions and determinations as
the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan.
(b)
Manner of Exercise of Committee
Authority.
At any time that a member of the Committee is not a
Qualified Member, any action of the Committee relating to an Award granted or to
be granted to a Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act in respect of the Corporation, or relating to an Award intended by the
Committee to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of
Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder, may be taken either (i) by a
subcommittee, designated by the Committee, composed solely of two or more
Qualified Members, or (ii) by the Committee but with each such member who is not
a Qualified Member abstaining or recusing himself or herself from such action;
provided, however, that, upon such abstention or recusal, the Committee remains
composed solely of two or more Qualified Members. Such action, authorized by
such a subcommittee or by the Committee upon the abstention or recusal of such
non-Qualified Member(s), shall be the action of the Committee for purposes of
the Plan. Any action of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on
all persons, including the Corporation, its subsidiaries, Participants,
Beneficiaries, transferees under Section 10(b) hereof or other persons claiming
rights from or through a Participant, and shareholders. The express grant of any
specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee,
shall not be construed as limiting any power or authority of the
Committee. The Committee may delegate to officers or managers of the
Corporation or any subsidiary, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to
such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions,
including administrative functions, as the Committee may determine, to the
extent that such delegation will not result in the loss of an exemption under
Rule 16b-3(d)(1) for Awards granted to Participants subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act in respect of the Corporation and will not cause Awards intended to
qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m) to fail to
so qualify. The Committee may appoint agents to assist it in administering the
Plan. With respect to any Awards to any person who is a director of the
Corporation, the Award must be approved by a majority of the disinterested
members of the Committee.
(c)
Limitation of
Liability.
The Committee and each member thereof shall be
entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information
furnished to him or her by any executive officer, other officer or employee of
the Corporation or a subsidiary, the
Corporation's
independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the
administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee and any officer or employee
of the Corporation or a subsidiary acting at the direction or on behalf of the
Committee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken
or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Corporation with
respect to any such action or determination.
4.
Stock Subject to
Plan
.
(a)
Overall Number of Shares Available
for Delivery.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section
10(c) hereof, the total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for
delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan shall be 2,350,000 plus any
authorized shares not issued or subject to outstanding grants under any other
plan of the Corporation as of the Effective Date and any shares issued under any
such other plan that are forfeited or repurchased by the Corporation or that are
issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to such other plans that
expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in
full, which shares will no longer be available for grant and issuance under such
other plans, but will be available for grant and issuance under this
Plan. Any shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized
and unissued shares or treasury shares.
(b)
Application of Limitation to Grants
of Awards.
No Award may be granted if the number of shares of
Stock to be delivered in connection with such Award or, in the case of an Award
relating to shares of Stock that may be settled only in cash (such as cash-only
SARs), the number of shares to which such Award relates, exceeds the number of
shares of Stock remaining available under the Plan minus the number of shares of
Stock issuable in settlement of or relating to then outstanding Awards. The
Committee may adopt reasonable counting procedures to ensure appropriate
counting, avoid double counting (as, for example, in the case of tandem or
substitute awards) and make adjustments if the number of shares of Stock
actually delivered differs from the number of shares previously counted in
connection with an Award.
(c)
Availability of Shares Not
Delivered under Awards.
Shares of Stock subject to an Award
under the Plan that are canceled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash or
otherwise terminated without a delivery of shares to the Participant, including
(i) the number of shares withheld in payment of any exercise or purchase price
of an Award or taxes relating to Awards, and (ii) the number of shares
surrendered in payment of any exercise or purchase price of an Award or taxes
relating to any Award, will again be available for Awards under the Plan, except
that if any such shares could not again be available for Awards to a particular
Participant under any applicable law or regulation, such shares shall be
available exclusively for Awards to Participants who are not subject to such
limitation.
5.
Eligibility; Per-Person
Award Limitations
. Awards may be granted under the Plan only
to Eligible Persons. In each fiscal year during any part of which the Plan is in
effect an Eligible Person may not be granted Awards under each of Sections 6(b),
6(c), 6(d), 6(e), 6(f), 6(g), 6(h), 8(b) and 8(c) relating to more than
1,000,000 shares of Stock (subject in each case to adjustment as provided in
Section 10(c)). In addition, the maximum cash amount that may be
earned
under the Plan as a final Annual Incentive Award or other cash annual Award in
respect of any fiscal year by any one Participant shall not exceed an amount
recommended by the Compensation Committee, and the maximum cash amount that may
be earned under the Plan as a final Performance Award or other cash Award in
respect of a performance period other than an annual period by any one
Participant on an annualized basis shall not exceed an amount recommended by the
Compensation Committee.
6.
Specific Terms of
Awards
.
(a)
General.
Awards
may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6. In
addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the
date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 10(e)), such additional terms
and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the
Committee shall determine, including terms requiring forfeiture of Awards in the
event of termination of employment by the Participant and terms permitting a
Participant to make elections relating to his or her Award. The Committee shall
retain full power and discretion to accelerate, waive or modify, at any time,
any term or condition of an Award that is not mandatory under the Plan;
provided, however, that the Committee shall not have any discretion to
accelerate, waive or modify any term or condition of an Award that is intended
to qualify as "performance-based compensation" for purposes of Code Section
162(m) if such discretion would cause the Award not to so qualify. Except in
cases in which the Committee is authorized to require other forms of
consideration under the Plan, or to the extent other forms of consideration must
by paid to satisfy the requirements of state law, no consideration other than
services may be required for the grant (but not the exercise) of any
Award.
(b)
Options.
The
Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the
following
terms and conditions:
(i)
Exercise
Price.
The exercise price per share of Stock purchasable under
an Option shall be determined by the Committee, provided that the exercise price
of an ISO shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the date of grant of such Option except as provided under Section 7(a)
hereof.
(ii) T
ime and Method of
Exercise.
The Committee shall determine the time or times at
which or the circumstances under which an Option may be exercised in whole or in
part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service
requirements), the methods by which such exercise price may be paid or deemed to
be paid, the form of such payment, including, without limitation, cash, Stock,
other Awards or awards granted under other plans of the Corporation or any
subsidiary, or other property (including notes or other contractual obligations
of Participants to make payment on a deferred basis), and the methods by or
forms in which Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to
Participants. In no event may an Option remain exercisable more than ten years
following the date of grant (or such shorter term as may be required in respect
of an ISO under Code Section 422).
(iii)
ISOs.
The terms of
any ISO granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions
of Code Section 422. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no
term of the Plan relating to ISOs (including any SAR in tandem therewith) shall
be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority
granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify either the Plan or any
ISO under Code Section 422, unless the Participant has first requested the
change that will result in such disqualification.
(c)
Stock Appreciation
Rights.
The Committee is authorized to grant SARs and Limited
SARs to Participants on the following terms and conditions:
(i)
SAR.
A SAR shall
confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon
exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock
on the date of exercise over (B) the grant price of the SAR as determined by the
Committee, provided that such grant price shall not be less than the Fair Market
Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of such SAR except as provided
under Section 7(a) hereof.
(ii)
Limited SAR.
A
Limited SAR shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a right to
receive, upon exercise thereof, upon a Change in Control, as defined in Section
9(b) hereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of
one share of Stock determined by reference to the Change in Control Price, as
defined under Section 9(c) hereof, on the date of exercise over (B) the grant
price of the SAR as determined by the Committee, provided that such grant price
shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of
grant of such Limited SAR except as provided under Section 7(a)
hereof.
(iii)
Other Terms.
The
Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, the time or times
at which and the circumstances under which a SAR or Limited SAR may be exercised
in whole or in part (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or
future service requirements), the method of exercise, method of settlement, form
of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which Stock will
be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, whether or not a SAR or
Limited SAR shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any
other terms and conditions of any SAR or Limited SAR. SARs and Limited SARs may
be either freestanding or in tandem with other Awards.
(d)
Restricted
Stock.
The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock
to Participants on the following terms and conditions:
(i)
Grant and
Restrictions.
Restricted Stock shall be subject to such
restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if
any, as the Committee may impose, which restrictions may lapse separately or in
combination at such times, under such circumstances (including based on
achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements), in such
installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine at the date of grant
or thereafter. Except to the extent restricted under the terms of the Plan and
any Award
agreement
relating to the Restricted Stock, a Participant granted Restricted Stock shall
have all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the
Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon (subject to any
mandatory reinvestment or other requirement imposed by the Committee). During
the restricted period applicable to the Restricted Stock, subject to Section
10(b) below, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated, margined or otherwise encumbered by the
Participant.
(ii)
Forfeiture.
Except
as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of employment during
the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject
to restrictions shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Corporation; provided
that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award agreement,
or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture
conditions relating to Restricted Stock shall be waived in whole or in part in
the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may
in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted
Stock.
(iii)
Certificates for
Stock.
Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be
evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates
representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the
Committee may require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend
referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such
Restricted Stock, that the Corporation retain physical possession of the
certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Corporation,
endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock.
(iv)
Dividends and
Splits.
As a condition to the grant of an Award of Restricted
Stock, the Committee may require or permit a Participant to elect that any cash
dividends paid on a share of Restricted Stock be automatically reinvested in
additional shares of Restricted Stock or applied to the purchase of additional
Awards under the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Stock
distributed in connection with a Stock split or Stock dividend, and other
property distributed as a dividend, in respect of any Restricted Stock shall be
subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the
Restricted Stock with respect to which such Stock or other property has been
distributed.
(e)
RSUs.
The
Committee is authorized to grant RSUs to Participants, which are rights to
receive Stock, cash, or a combination thereof at the end of a specified deferral
period, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(i)
Award and
Restrictions.
Satisfaction of an Award of RSUs shall occur
upon expiration of the deferral period specified for such RSUs by the Committee
(or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Participant). In addition,
RSUs shall be subject to such restrictions (which may include a risk of
forfeiture) as the Committee may impose, if any, which restrictions may lapse at
the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier specified times (including
based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service requirements),
separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may
determine. RSUs may be satisfied by delivery of Stock, cash equal to the Fair
Market Value of the specified
number of
shares of Stock covered by the RSUs, or a combination thereof, as determined by
the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter.
(ii)
Forfeiture.
Except
as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of employment during
the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions
apply (as provided in the Award agreement evidencing the RSUs), all RSUs that
are at that time subject to deferral (other than a deferral at the election of
the Participant) shall be forfeited; provided that the Committee may provide, by
rule or regulation or in any Award agreement, or may determine in any individual
case that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to RSUs shall be waived
in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified
causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the
forfeiture of RSUs.
(iii)
Dividend
Equivalents.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at
date of grant, Dividend Equivalents on the specified number of shares of Stock
covered by an Award of RSUs shall be either (A) paid with respect to such RSUs
at the dividend payment date in cash or in shares of unrestricted Stock having a
Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, or (B) deferred with
respect to such RSUs and the amount or value thereof automatically deemed
reinvested in additional RSUs, other Awards or other investment vehicles, as the
Committee shall determine or permit the Participant to elect.
(f)
Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of
Obligations.
The Committee is authorized to grant Stock as a
bonus, or to grant Stock or other Awards in lieu of obligations to pay cash or
deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or compensatory
arrangements, provided that, in the case of Participants subject to Section 16
of the Exchange Act, the amount of such grants remains within the discretion of
the Committee to the extent necessary to ensure that acquisitions of Stock or
other Awards are exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Stock or Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to such other terms as shall
be determined by the Committee.
(g)
Dividend Equivalents.
The
Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to a Participant,
entitling the Participant to receive cash, Stock, other Awards, or other
property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of
shares of Stock, or other periodic payments. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded
on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award. The Committee may
provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or
shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock, Awards, or other
investment vehicles, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and
risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify.
(h)
Other Stock-Based
Awards.
The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations
under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that may be
denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or
otherwise based on, or related to, Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be
consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation,
convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or
exchangeable into Stock, purchase rights for Stock, Awards with value and
payment
contingent upon performance of the Corporation or any other factors designated
by the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Stock or
the value of securities of or the performance of specified subsidiaries. The
Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. Stock
delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under
this Section 6(h) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such
times, by such methods, and in such forms including, without limitation, cash,
Stock, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee shall determine. Cash
awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan, may
also be granted pursuant to this Section 6(h).
7.
Certain Provisions
Applicable to Awards
.
(a)
Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem,
and Substitute Awards.
Awards granted under the Plan may, in
the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in
tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award
granted under another plan of the Corporation, any subsidiary, or any business
entity to be acquired by the Corporation or a subsidiary, or any other right of
a Participant to receive payment from the Corporation or any subsidiary. Such
additional, tandem, and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any
time. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award, the
Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award in consideration for
the grant of the new Award. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash
compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the
Corporation or any subsidiary, in which the value of Stock subject to the Award
is equivalent in value to the cash compensation (for example, RSUs or Restricted
Stock), or in which the exercise price, grant price or purchase price of an
Award which is in the nature of a right that may be exercised is reduced by an
amount equal to the value of the cash compensation surrendered (for example,
Options may be granted with an exercise price "discounted" by the amount of the
cash compensation surrendered).
(b)
Term of
Awards.
The term of each Award shall be for such period as may
be determined by the Committee; provided that in no event shall the term of any
Option, SAR or Limited SAR exceed a period of ten years (or such shorter term as
may be required in respect of an ISO under Code Section 422).
(c)
Form and Timing of Payment under
Awards; Deferrals.
Subject to the terms of the Plan and any
applicable Award agreement, payments to be made by the Corporation or a
subsidiary upon the exercise of an Option or other Award or settlement of an
Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine, including,
without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards or other property, and may be made
in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. The
settlement of any Award may be accelerated, and cash paid in lieu of Stock in
connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the Committee or upon
occurrence of one or more specified events (in addition to a Change in Control,
upon the occurrence of which settlement shall be accelerated in each case).
Installment or deferred payments may be required by the Committee (subject to
Section 10(e) of the Plan, including the consent provisions thereof in the case
of any deferral of an outstanding Award not provided for
in the
original Award agreement) or permitted at the election of the Participant on
terms and conditions established by the Committee. Payments may include, without
limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on
installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend
Equivalents or other amounts in respect of installment or deferred payments
denominated in Stock.
(d)
Exemptions from Section 16(b)
Liability.
It is the intent of the Corporation that the grant of any
Awards to, or other transaction by, a Participant who is subject to Section 16
of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16 pursuant to an applicable
exemption (except for transactions acknowledged in writing to be non-exempt by
such Participant). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or any
Award agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 as then
applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of
Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section
16(b).
8.

are intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" for purposes of Code
Section 162(m). The right of a Participant to receive, exercise or
settle a Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award, and the timing thereof,

conditions, except as limited under Sections 8(b) and 8(c) hereof in the case of
a Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award intended to qualify under Code
Section 162(m).
(b)
Performance Awards Granted to
Designated Covered Employees.
If the Committee determines that
a Performance Award to be granted to an Eligible Person who is designated by the
Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee should qualify as
"performance-based compensation" for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant,
exercise and/or settlement of such Performance Award shall be contingent upon
achievement of preestablished performance goals and other terms set forth in
this Section 8(b).
(i)

business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to
each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent with this
Section 8(b). Performance goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the
requirements of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder (including
Regulation 1.162-27 and successor regulations thereto), including the
requirement that the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee
result in the achievement of performance goals being "substantially
uncertain". The Committee may determine that such Performance Awards
shall be granted, exercised and/or settled upon achievement of any
one performance goal or that two or
more of
the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to grant, exercise and/or

Performance Awards granted to any one Participant or to different
Participants.
(ii)
Business
Criteria.
One or more of the following business criteria for
the Corporation, on a consolidated basis and/or for specified subsidiaries or
business or geographical units of the Corporation (except with respect to the
total shareholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be used by the
Committee in establishing performance goals for such Performance Awards: (1)

operating margin; (5) return on net assets, return on assets, return on
investment, return on capital or return on equity; (6) economic value added; (7)

a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but
not limited to, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index or a group of
comparable companies. One or more of the foregoing business criteria
shall also be exclusively used in establishing performance goals for Annual
Incentive Awards granted to a Covered Employee under Section 8(c)
hereof.
(iii)
Performance Period; Timing for
Establishing Performance Goals.
Achievement of performance
goals in respect of such Performance Awards shall be measured over a performance
period of up to ten years, as specified by the Committee. Performance goals
shall be established not later than 90 days after the beginning of any
performance period applicable to such Performance Awards, or at such other date
as may be required or permitted for "performance-based compensation" under Code
Section 162(m).
(iv)
Performance Award
Pool.
The Committee may establish a Performance Award pool,
which shall be an unfunded pool, for purposes of measuring performance
of the
Corporation in connection with Performance Awards. The amount of such
Performance Award pool shall be based upon the achievement of a performance goal
or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Section
8(b)(ii) hereof during the given performance period, as specified by the
Committee in accordance with Section 8(b)(iii) hereof. The Committee
may specify the amount of the Performance Award pool as a percentage of any of
such business criteria, a percentage thereof in excess of a threshold amount, or
as another amount which need not bear a strictly mathematical relationship to
such business criteria.
(v)
Settlement of Performance Awards;
Other Terms.
After the end of each performance period, the
Committee shall determine the amount, if any, of the potential
Performance
Award payable to each Participant. Settlement of such Performance
Awards shall be in cash, Stock, other Awards or other property, in the
discretion of the Committee. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the
amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in connection with such Performance
Awards, but may not exercise discretion to increase any such amount payable to a
Covered Employee in respect of a Performance Award subject to this Section 8(b).
The Committee shall specify the circumstances in which such Performance Awards
shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of employment by the
Participant prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of
Performance Awards.
(c)
Annual Incentive Awards Granted to
Designated Covered Employees.
If the Committee determines
that an Annual Incentive Award to be granted to an Eligible Person who is
designated by the Committee as likely to be a Covered Employee should qualify as
a performance-based compensation" for purposes of Code Section 162(m), the
grant, exercise and/or settlement of such Annual Incentive Award shall be
contingent upon achievement of preestablished performance goals and other terms
set forth in this Section 8(c).
(i)
Annual Incentive Award
Pool.
The Committee may establish an Annual Incentive Award
pool, which shall be an unfunded pool, for purposes of measuring performance of
the Corporation in connection with Annual Incentive Awards. The amount of such
Annual Incentive Award pool shall be based upon the achievement of a performance
goal or goals based on one or more of the business criteria set forth in Section
8(b)(ii) hereof during a particular 12 month period, as specified by the
Committee. The Committee may specify the amount of the Annual Incentive Award
pool as a percentage of any of such business criteria, a percentage thereof in
excess of a threshold amount, or as another amount which need not bear a
strictly mathematical relationship to such business criteria.
(ii)
Potential Annual Incentive
Awards.
Not later than the end of the 90th day of the applicable 12 month
period, or at such other date as may be required or permitted in the case of
Awards intended to be "performance-based compensation" under Code Section
162(m), the Committee shall determine the Eligible Persons who will potentially
receive Annual Incentive Awards, and the amounts potentially payable thereunder,
for that 12 month period, either out of an Annual Incentive Award pool
established by such date under Section 8(c)(i) hereof or as individual Annual
Incentive Awards. In the case of individual Annual Incentive Awards intended to
qualify under Code Section 162(m), the amount potentially payable shall be based
upon the achievement of a performance goal or goals based on one or more of the
business criteria set forth in Section 8(b)(ii) hereof in the given performance
year, as specified by the Committee; in other cases, such amount shall be based
on such criteria as shall be established by the Committee. In all cases, the
maximum Annual Incentive Award of any Participant shall be subject to the
limitation set forth in Section 5 hereof.
(iii)
Payout of Annual Incentive
Awards.
After the end of the applicable 12 month period, the
Committee shall determine the amount, if any, of the potential Annual Incentive
Award payable to each Participant. The Committee may, in its discretion,
determine that the amount payable to any Participant as a final Annual Incentive
Award shall be
increased
or reduced from the amount of his or her potential Annual Incentive Award,
including a determination to make no final Award whatsoever, but may not
exercise discretion to increase any such amount in the case of an Annual
Incentive Award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m). The Committee
shall specify the circumstances in which an Annual Incentive Award shall be paid
or forfeited in the event of termination of employment by the Participant prior
to the end of a fiscal year or settlement of such Annual Incentive
Award.
(d)
Written
Determinations.
All determinations by the Committee as to the
establishment of performance goals, the amount of any Performance Award pool or
potential individual Performance Awards and as to the achievement of performance
goals relating to Performance Awards under Section 8(b), and the amount of any
Annual Incentive Award pool or potential individual Annual Incentive Awards and
the amount of final Annual Incentive Awards under Section 8(c), shall be made in
writing in the case of any Award intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m).
The Committee may not delegate any responsibility relating to such Performance
Awards or Annual Incentive Awards.
(e)
Status of Section 8(b) and Section
8(c) Awards under Code Section 162(m).
It is the intent of the
Corporation that Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards granted to
persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be Covered Employees
within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder (including
Regulation 1.162-27 and successor regulations thereto) shall, if so designated
by the Committee, constitute "performance-based compensation" within the meaning
of Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms of
Sections 8(b), (c), (d) and (e), including the definitions of Covered Employee
and other terms used therein, shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with
Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding,
because the Committee cannot determine with certainty whether a given
Participant will be a Covered Employee with respect to a fiscal year that has
not yet been completed, the term Covered Employee as used herein shall mean only
a person designated by the Committee, at the time of grant of Performance Awards
or an Annual Incentive Award, as likely to be a Covered Employee with respect to
that fiscal year. If any provision of the Plan as in effect on the date of
adoption or any agreement relating to a Performance Award or Annual Incentive
Award intended to comply with Code Section 162(m) does not comply or
is inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) or regulations
thereunder, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such requirements.

exercise price of such Option, multiplied by the number of shares of Stock
covered by such Option;
(iii) The
restrictions, deferral of settlement, and forfeiture conditions applicable to
any other Award granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be

set forth in Section 10(a) hereof; and
(iv) With
respect to any outstanding Award subject to achievement of performance goals and

if:
(i) any
Person (other than the Corporation, any trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities under any employee benefit plan of the Corporation, or any company
owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Corporation in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Stock of the
Corporation immediately prior to the occurrence with respect to which the
determination of whether a Change in Control has occurred is being made)
acquires securities of the Corporation and immediately thereafter is the
Beneficial Owner (except that a Person shall be deemed to be the Beneficial
Owner of all shares that any such Person has the right to acquire pursuant to
any agreement or arrangement or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or
options or otherwise, without regard to the sixty day period referred to in Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the
Corporation representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the
Corporation's then outstanding securities (except that an acquisition of
securities directly from the Corporation shall not be deemed an acquisition for
purposes of this clause (i));
(ii) during
any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such
period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director
designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Corporation to
effect a transaction described in clause (i), (iii), or (iv) of this paragraph
(b)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Corporation's
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two thirds of the directors then
still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the two-year
period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved
but excluding for this purpose any such new director whose initial assumption of
office occurs as a
result of
either an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms are used in Rule
14a-10 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or
threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of an individual,
corporation, partnership, group, associate or other entity or Person other than
the Board, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the
Board;
(iii) the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other
entity, other than (i) a merger or consolidation which would result in the
voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity) more than 50% of
the combined voting power of the surviving or resulting entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation or (ii) a merger or consolidation
in which no premium is intended to be paid to any shareholder participating in
the merger or consolidation;
(iv) the
stockholders of the Corporation approve a plan or agreement for the sale or
disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the
Corporation (other than such a sale or disposition immediately after which such
assets will be owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the
Corporation, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of
the Stock of the Corporation immediately prior to such sale or
disposition), in which case the Board shall determine the effective date of the
Change in Control resulting therefrom; or
(v) any
other event occurs which the Board determines, in its discretion, would
materially alter the structure of the Corporation or its ownership.
(c)
Definition of Change in Control
Price.
The "Change in Control Price" means an amount in cash
equal to the higher of (i) the amount of cash and Fair Market Value of property
that is the highest price per share paid (including extraordinary dividends) in
any transaction triggering the Change in Control or any liquidation of shares
following a sale of substantially all assets of the Corporation, or (ii) the
highest Fair Market Value per share at any time during the 120 day period which
commences 60 days prior to the effective date of the Change in Control and which
ends 60 days following the effective date of the Change in Control.
10.
General
Provisions
.
(a)
Compliance with Legal and Other
Requirements.
The Corporation may, to the extent deemed necessary or
advisable by the Committee, postpone the issuance or delivery of Stock or
payment of other benefits under any Award until completion of such registration
or qualification of such Stock or other required action under any federal or
state law, rule or regulation, listing or other required action with respect to
any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Stock or other
securities of the Corporation are listed or quoted, or compliance with any other
obligation of the Corporation, as the Committee may consider appropriate, and
may require any Participant to make such representations, furnish such
information and comply with or be subject to such other conditions as it may
consider
appropriate
in connection with the issuance or delivery of Stock or payment of other
benefits in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and reasons, listing
requirements, or other obligations.
(b)
Limits on Transferability;
Beneficiaries.
No Award or other right or interest granted
under the Plan shall be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or subject
to any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant to any party (other
than the Corporation or a subsidiary), or assigned or transferred by such
Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to
a Beneficiary upon the death of a Participant, and such Awards or rights that
may be exercisable shall be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant
only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative, except
that Awards and other rights (other than ISOs and SARs in tandem therewith) may
be transferred to one or more Beneficiaries or other transferees during the
lifetime of the Participant, and may be exercised by such transferees in
accordance with the terms of such Award, but only if and to the extent such
transfers are permitted by the Committee pursuant to the express terms of an
Award agreement (subject to any terms and conditions which the Committee may
impose thereon). A Beneficiary, transferee, or other person claiming any rights
under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and
conditions of the Plan and any Award agreement applicable to such Participant,
except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional terms and
conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.
(c)
Adjustments
. In
the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash,
Stock, or other property), recapitalization, forward or reverse split,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share
exchange, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction or event affects
the Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be
appropriate under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may
deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock
which may be delivered in connection with Awards granted thereafter, (ii) the
number and kind of shares of Stock by which annual per-person Award limitations
are measured under Section 5 hereof, (iii) the number and kind of shares of
Stock subject to or deliverable in respect of outstanding Awards and (iv) the
exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any Award (which
adjustment may include making a provision for payment of cash or other property
in respect of any outstanding Award). In addition, the Committee may, in its
discretion, adjust any of (i) through (iv) above based on any other event
effecting the Corporation, any subsidiary or business unit thereof, or in
response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, tax
rates and regulations or business conditions, and any other circumstances deemed
relevant; provided, that no such adjustment shall be authorized or made if and
to the extent that such authority or the making of such adjustment would cause
Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards granted under Section 8 hereof to
Participants designated by the Committee as Covered Employees and intended to
qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Code Section 162(m) and
regulations thereunder to otherwise fail to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" under Code Section 162(m) and regulations
thereunder.
(d)
Taxes.
The
Corporation and any subsidiary is authorized to withhold from any Award granted,
any payment relating to an Award, including from a distribution of Stock or any
payroll or other payment to a Participant, amounts of withholding and other
taxes due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an
Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to
enable the Corporation and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment
of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This
authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other property
and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s
tax obligations, either on a mandatory or elective basis in the discretion of
the Committee.
(e)
Changes to the Plan and
Awards.
The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or
terminate the Plan or the Committee's authority to grant Awards under the Plan
without the consent of shareholders or Participants, except that any amendment
or alteration to the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Corporation's
shareholders not later than the annual meeting next following such Board action
if such shareholder approval is required by any federal or state law or
regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on
which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Board may otherwise, in
its discretion, determine to submit other such changes to the Plan to
shareholders for approval; provided that, without the consent of an affected
Participant, no such Board action may materially and adversely affect the rights
of such Participant under any previously granted and outstanding Award. The
Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend,
discontinue or terminate any Award theretofore granted and any Award agreement
relating thereto, except as otherwise provided in the Plan; provided that,
without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Committee action may
materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if any right under this
Plan would cause a transaction to be ineligible for pooling of interest
accounting that would, but for the right hereunder, be eligible for such
accounting treatment, the Committee may modify or adjust the right so that
pooling of interest accounting shall be available, including the substitution of
Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the cash otherwise payable hereunder
for that right which caused the transaction to be ineligible for pooling of
interest accounting. In addition, the Board shall also have the authority to
modify the Plan, to the extent it deems necessary or desirable in its sole
discretion, to minimize the taxes incurred by either the Corporation or any
Participant relating to any Award.
(f)
Limitation on Rights Conferred under
Plan.
Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be
construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or Participant the right to continue
as an Eligible Person or Participant or in the employ or service of the
Corporation or a subsidiary, (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the
Corporation or a subsidiary to terminate any Eligible Person's or Participant's
employment or service at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or
Participant any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan or to be treated
uniformly with other Participants and employees, or (iv) conferring on a
Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation unless and
until the Participant is duly issued or transferred shares of Stock in
accordance with the terms of an Award.
(g)
Unfunded Status of Awards, Creation
of Trusts.
The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for
certain incentive awards and deferred compensation. With respect to
any payments not yet made to a Participant or obligation to deliver Stock
pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any
such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of
the Corporation.
(h)
Nonexclusivity of the
Plan.
Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its
submission to the shareholders of the Corporation for approval shall be
construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee
thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable
including incentive arrangements and awards which do not qualify under Code
Section 162(m).
(i)
Payments in the Event of
Forfeitures; Fractional Shares.
Unless otherwise determined by
the Committee, in the event of a forfeiture of an Award with respect to which a
Participant paid cash or other consideration, the Participant shall be repaid
the amount of such cash or other consideration. No fractional shares of Stock
shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee
shall determine whether cash, other Awards or other property shall be issued or
paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any
rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
(j)
Governing Law.
The
validity, construction and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations under
the Plan, and any Award agreement shall be determined in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts
of laws, and applicable federal law.
(k)

of Dais-Analytic on April 10, 2000, and was approved by the shareholders of the

(i)
|
to
apply for, obtain and vest in the name of the Company ( unless Company
otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights or other analogous
protection in any country throughout the world and when so obtained or
vested to renew and restore the same;

enforcing patents and copyrights for such Inventions in any and all
countries shall continue beyond the termination of this Agreement and in
such circumstances Company shall compensate Employee at a reasonable rate
after such termination for time actually spent by Employee at Company’s

inapplicable or in the event that such works, or any part thereof, are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be a work made for
hire under the United States copyright laws, this Agreement shall operate

irrevocable
right, title and interest (including, without limitation all rights in and
to the copyrights throughout the world, including the right to prepare
derivative works and the right to all renewals and extensions) in the

Employer
agrees to employ Employee, and Employee agrees to be employed by Employer
on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
|

|
Subject
to the provisions for termination and extension as hereafter provided, the
term (“Term” shall include any extension of the term of this
Agreement as provided in section 1.3 below) of this Agreement shall
commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the first
anniversary hereof (“Term”).
|
1.3
|
The
Term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended on the first
anniversary of the Effective Date for one (1) year and on each subsequent
anniversary of the Effective Date for an additional one year period,
unless, in any such case, Employer delivers, at least one (1) month prior
to such anniversary of the Effective Date, written notice of its intent
not to renew or extend the Term.
|
1.4
|
Beginning
as of the Effective Date, Employee shall be employed as Chief Operating
Officer of Employer. Employee shall report to the President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Employer. Employee agrees to serve in said
position or in such capacities as may be requested by the Employer

the best of Employee's abilities the duties
and services.

1.5.
|
Employee
shall at all times comply with and be subject to such policies and
procedures as Employer may establish from time to time, for members of the
Company whether at the executive level or for members of the entire
Company, including without limitation any Code of Business Conduct (the
"Code of Business Conduct") the Employer has or may establish from time to
time.
|
1.6.
|
Employee
shall, during the period of Employee’s employment by Employer, devote

and affairs of Employer. Employee may not engage, directly or indirectly,

Employee’s
performance
of Employee’s duties hereunder, is contrary to the interest of Employer.

personal investments and other business activities which do not conflict
with the Business and affairs of the Employer or Employer Entities or

11, Version 5.0
1.7
|
Employee
acknowledges and agrees that Employee owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty,
fidelity and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of the
Employer and all other Employer Entities and to do no act which would,
directly or indirectly, injure any such entity's business, interests, or
reputation. It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest
in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly
commercial activities, which interest might in any way adversely affect
Employer or any Employer Entity involves a possible conflict of
interest. In keeping with Employee's fiduciary duties to
Employer, Employee agrees that Employee shall not knowingly become
involved in a conflict of interest with Employer or the Employer Entities,
or upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue. Moreover,
Employee shall not engage in any activity which might involve a possible

from a suitable location which both parties will agree to on
its suitability prior to use. This notwithstanding the Employee agrees
approximately 50% or more of his time will be spent at the principal
office. At the end of three (3) years – if not earlier if agreed to by
both parties – the parties will review Employee’s location as the goal is
to have the executive team located at the Employer’s principal place of
business.
|
1.9.
|
Nothing
contained herein shall be construed to
preclude the transfer of Employee's employment to another
Employer Entity ("Subsequent Employer") as of, or at any time after, the
Effective Date and no such transfer shall be deemed to be a termination of
employment for the purposes of Article 3 hereof; provided,
however, that, effective with such transfer, all of Employer's
obligations hereunder shall be assumed by and
be binding upon, and all of Employer's rights
hereunder shall be assigned to, such Subsequent Employer and the defined
term "Employer" as used herein shall thereafter be deemed amended to mean
such Subsequent Employer. Except as otherwise provided above, all of the

effect at the date of Employee's termination of employment. Such

employment is terminated by Employer as a direct result of merger or the

the options grant made under Section 2.4 shall be modified by the Board of
Directors or, if appropriate, Compensation Committee so as to cause all
shares subject to said grant to vest as of the date of any such merger or
acquisition or any such date prior thereto as said Board of Directors
shall determine in its sole
discretion.

|
Payments made under this Agreement as well as any severance
benefit paid to Employee pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be in consideration
of Employee's continuing obligations hereunder (including those after
termination), including, without limitation, Employee's obligations under
Article 4. Further, as a condition to the receipt of such severance
benefit, Employer, in its sole discretion, may require Employee to first
execute a release, in the form established by Employer, releasing Employer
and all of its affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, and
agents, from any and all claims and from any and all causes of action of
any kind or character, including, but not limited to, all claims and
causes of action arising out of Employee's employment with
Employer and any of its affiliates or the termination of such employment.
The performance of Employer's obligations under Section 3.3 and the
receipt of the severance benefit provided thereunder by Employee shall
constitute full settlement of all such claims and causes of
action. Employee's rights under Section 3.3 are Employee's sole
and exclusive rights against the Employer or its affiliates and the
Employer's sole and exclusive liability to Employee under this Agreement,
in contract, tort or otherwise, for the termination of his employment
relationship with Employer. Employee agrees that all disputes relating to
Employee’s termination of employment, including, without limitation, any
dispute as to "Cause" or "Voluntary Termination" and any claims or demands
against Employer based upon Employee's employment for any monies other
than those specified in Section 3.3, shall be resolved through arbitration
as provided in Section 6.6 hereof; provided, however, that decisions
specifically reserved herein for either the Board of Directors or the
Compensation Committee, including but not limited to those such as to
whether "Cause" exists for termination of the employment relationship with
Employee and whether and as of what date Employee has become permanently
disabled are delegated solely to the Board of Directors of Employer or the
Compensation Committee (as the case may be), for determination and any
dispute of Employee with any such decision shall be limited to whether the
Board of Director or Compensation Committee as the case may be reached
such decision in good faith. Nothing contained in this Article 3 shall be
construed to be a waiver by Employee of any benefits accrued for or due
Employee under any employee benefit plan (as such term is defined in the
Employees' Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended) maintained
by Employer.

appropriate proceedings, to obtain a reduction in the assessed valuation of the

taxation or assessment of real estate shall be changed so that the whole or any

based, in whole or in part, upon the Leased Premises or on the rents derived
therefrom and imposed upon the Landlord, Tenant shall timely pay,

timely manner all solid waste disposal assessments made by the local taxing
authority with relation to the Lease Premises during the Initial Term of the

taxes are calculated under Section 6.1.

should the Tenant fail to do so, or to have any liens removed from the property
within fourteen (14) days of notification to do so by the Landlord, in addition
to all other remedies available to the Landlord, the Tenant shall defend,
indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless for all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorney's fees, occasioned by the Landlord in having said lien
removed from the property; and, such costs and expenses shall be billed to the
Tenant and shall be payable by the Tenant with that month's regular monthly
rental as
additional expenses reimbursable to the Landlord by the
Tenant.

Tenant, whether by the filing of a petition or otherwise, seeking any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar relief under the present or future Federal Bankruptcy Act or any
other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law,
whereby such proceeding shall not have been dismissed;
Landlord
shall be entitled to its election (unless Tenant shall cure such default prior
to such election), to exercise concurrently or successively, any one or more of
the following rights:
(i)
Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of termination, in which event this
Lease shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice of
termination, with the same force and effect as though the date so specified were
the date herein originally fixed as the termination date of the term of this
Lease, all rights of Tenant under this Lease and in and to the Premises shall
expire and terminate, Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this
Lease arising up to the date of such termination, and Tenant shall surrender the
Premises to Landlord on the date specified in such notice; or
(ii) Without
terminating this Lease, and with or without notice to Tenant, Landlord may in
its own name but as agent for Tenant enter into and upon and take possession of
the Premises or any part thereof, and, at Landlord's option, remove persons and
property therefrom, and such property, if any, may be removed and sold or
removed and stored in a warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the
account of Tenant, all without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming
liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby, and Landlord may
rent the Premises or any portion thereof as the agent of Tenant with or without
advertisement, and by private negotiations and for any term upon such terms and
conditions as Landlord may deem necessary in order to relet the Premises.
Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any rental concessions or
any failure to rent the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to
collect any rent due upon such reletting. Upon such reletting, all rentals
received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment
of any indebtedness (other than any rent due hereunder) from Tenant to Landlord;
second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including,
without limitation, brokerage fees and attorney's fees and costs of alterations
and repairs; third, to the payment of rent and other charges then due and unpaid
hereunder; and the residue, if any shall be held by Landlord to the extent of
and for application in payment of future rent as the same may become due and
payable hereunder. In reletting the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord may grant
rent concessions and Tenant shall not be credited therefor. If such rentals
received from such reletting shall at any time or from time to time be less than
sufficient to pay to Landlord the entire sums then due from Tenant hereunder,
Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall, at
Landlord's option, be calculated
and paid
monthly. No such reletting shall be construed as an election by Landlord to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such election has been given to
Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any
such
reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter
elect to
terminate this Lease for any such previous default provided same has not been
cured; or

or
(iv) Foreclose
the security interest described herein; or
(v)
Pursue such other remedies as are available at law or equity.
(e) Landlord's
pursuit of any remedy of remedies, including without limitation, any one or more
of the remedies stated herein shall not (1) constitute an election of remedies
or preclude pursuit of any other remedy or remedies provided in this Lease or
any other remedy or remedies provided by law or in equity, separately or
concurrently or in any combination, or (2) serve as the basis for any claim of
constructive eviction, or allow Tenant to withhold any payments under this
Lease.
16.2
Landlord’s Self Help. If Tenant fails in any manner to perform or
observe any of conditions, agreements of obligations of this Lease
and Tenant does not cure such default within thirty (30) days after notice from
Landlord specifying the default (or if such default shall reasonably take more
than thirty (30) days to cure, shall diligently prosecuted the same to
completion), Landlord may, at its option, without waiving any claim for damages
for breach of agreement, at any time thereafter cure such default for the
account of Tenant, and any amount paid or contractual liability incurred by
Landlord in so doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Tenant
and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord therefor and save Landlord harmless
therefrom. Provided, however, that Landlord may, but is not obligated to, cure
any such default as aforesaid prior to the expiration of said waiting period,
without notice to Tenant if any emergency situation exists, or after notice to
Tenant, if the curing of such default prior to the expiration of said waiting
period is reasonably necessary to protect the Leased Premises or Landlord's
interest therein, or to prevent injury or damage to persons or property. If
Tenant shall fail to reimburse Landlord upon demand for any amount paid for the
account of Tenant hereunder, said amount shall be added to and become due as a
part of the next payment of rent due and shall for all purposes be deemed and
treated as rent hereunder.
16.3
Tenant’s Remedies. If there is a default by Landlord with respect to any of its
covenants, warranties or representations under this Lease, and if the default
continues more than thirty (30) days after notice in writing from Tenant to
Landlord specifying the default (or if such default shall reasonably take more
than thirty (30) days to cure, Tenant shall not have commenced the same within
the thirty (30) days and diligently prosecuted the same to completion), Tenant
may, at its option, cure such default and deduct the cost thereof from the next
accruing installment or installments of rent payable hereunder until Tenant
shall have been fully reimbursed for such expenditures. If this
Lease
terminates prior to Tenant's receiving full reimbursement thereof Landlord shall
pay the unreimbursed balance to Tenant on demand.

Securities Act
and state securities laws are not required (which may include an opinion of

holder within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed
transfer under this Section 3.4, the Company will use commercially reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws,
but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state

or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in
lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock, provided
the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit
the Common Stock to a Subscriber by crediting the account of such Subscriber's
Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC")
system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this
Agreement).

No
Integrated Offering
. Neither the Company, nor any of its
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the
securities pursuant to this Agreement
to be integrated with prior
offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent
the Company from selling the securities pursuant to Rule 506 under the
Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval
provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take
any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Shares to be integrated
with other offerings. The Company does not have any registration
statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s
review.

of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any of its agents or employees
shall have any liability to any Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or
arising from any such information, materials, statements or
opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein and
no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or

any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements

This
sum is comprised of two items – the first is 248,687 warrants owed to
previous investors. The second is the Company entered into a six month
financial and strategic consulting agreement dated September 1, 2005 with
a financial consulting company. (“Consulting Company”) by which the
Consulting Company was to provide the Company with consulting services and
assist it in the procurement of equity and debt financing for business
expansion and development up to a maximum of $20,000,000. The
Consulting Company is not a license broker-dealer. In exchange for these
services, two of the shareholders of the Company assigned their
Convertible Notes Receivable, valued at $627,723, to the Consulting
Company. Per the terms of the Consulting Agreement and its
related documents, one half of the first note became vested in the
Consulting Company upon the execution of the Consulting Agreement which by
the terms of the Agreement resulted in $156,930 of said first note being
subject to conversion into the Company’s common stock at the rate of one
share per $.10 of note balance. In addition, the agreement
states that an additional $156,931 would be potentially eligible for
conversion upon the Company raising $1,000,000 in financing from any
source during the term of the Consulting Agreement. Conversion rights were
subject to pro rata vesting based on the funding secured. For
financial presentation purposes, the Company has accounted for this
transaction as a capital contribution by the stockholders of $627,723 for
the forgiveness of their notes and as consulting expense for equity given
to the Consulting Company. During the year ended December 31,
2005, the Company received funding of $599,972 in the form of bridge
loans. On December 23, 2005 the Company terminated the
Consulting Agreement subject to the provisions thereof. The
Company has no further obligations of any nature to the Consulting Company
for lack of performance by the Consulting Company. The shares to which
this note may be converted - 2,338,954 are included in the above table
even though the note balance has not been converted. In addition, the
shareholder of second note may contend, and has a possibility of being
successful, in having the amendment and assignment declared void requiring
his note be reinstated on the Company’s books. The shares
associated with this note are included in the Fully Diluted totals
presented above. The accounting entries made by the Company with regard to
the first note are not to be construed as a waiver of any rights the
Company may have in law or equity under the consulting agreement or any
agreements related thereto, nor as an admission, of an nature, by the
Company.

Registration
”), and

conditions described in this Agreement) all of such Holder’s Registrable

hereof.
(ii)
The Company shall be entitled to postpone for up to sixty (60) days the
filing or effectiveness of any Registration statement otherwise required to be
prepared and filed pursuant to this Section 2.1, if the Board determines, in its
good faith reasonable judgment (with the concurrence of the managing
underwriter, if any), that such registration and the Transfer of Registrable

2.2. In

Use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration declared

(ii)

extended by the aggregate number of days of such suspension or
postponement.
2.3.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Section 2, in the event the Commission does not permit the Company to
register all of the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement because

days after the date on which the Commission informs the Company (i) that the
Commission will not review such Registration Statement or (ii)
that the Company may
request the acceleration of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and
the Company makes such request;
provided
that
, if the
Effectiveness Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day which shall be a
legal holiday or a day on which the Commission is authorized or required by law
or other government actions to close, the Effectiveness Date shall be the
following business day.
2.4.
Failure to File Registration
Statement and Other Events
. The Company and the Holders agree
that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed
on or prior to the Filing Date and not declared effective by the Commission on
or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days following the Effectiveness Date
and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period
or if certain other events occur. The Company and the Holders further
agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with
precision. Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement is not
filed on or prior to the Filing Date, or (B) the Registration Statement is not
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date that is thirty (30)
days following the Effectiveness Date, or (C) the Registration Statement is
filed with and declared effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be
effective as to all Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration
of the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded by a subsequent
Registration Statement filed with and declared effective by the Commission in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (D) the Company has breached
Section 2.1(ii) hereof, or (E) following the date that the shares of Common
Stock initially commence trading or quotation, trading in the
Common Stock shall be
suspended or if the Common Stock is no longer quoted on or delisted from the
principal exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded for any reason for
more than ten (10) business days in the aggregate (any such failure or breach
being referred to as an "Event," and for purposes of clauses (A), (B) and (D)
the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (C) after more
than thirty (30) days, or for purposes of clause (E) the date on which such ten
(10) Business Day period is exceeded being referred to as "Event Date"), the
Company shall pay an amount as liquidated damages to each Holder, payable in
cash, equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the amount of the Holder’s
initial investment in the Notes for each calendar month or portion thereof
thereafter from the Event Date until the applicable Event is cured; provided,
however, that in no event shall the amount of liquidated damages payable at any
time and from time to time to any Holder pursuant to this Section 2.4 exceed an
aggregate of eight percent (8%) of the amount of the Holder’s initial investment
in the Notes. The Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages
under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by
the Commission to be included in a Registration Statement because of its
application of Rule 415 until such time as the provisions of this Agreement as
to the Registration Statements required to be filed pursuant to Section 2.3 are
triggered, in which case the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall once again
apply, if applicable. In such case, the liquidated damages shall be
calculated to only apply to the percentage of Registrable Securities which are
permitted by the Commission to be included in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
2.4, if (a) any of the Events described in clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) shall
have occurred, (b) on or prior to the applicable Event Date, the Company shall
have exercised in good faith its rights under Section 2.1(ii) hereof and (c) the
postponement or suspension permitted pursuant to such Section 2.1(ii) shall
remain effective as of such applicable Event Date, then the applicable Event
Date shall be deemed instead to occur on the second business day following the
termination of such postponement or suspension. Liquidated damages
payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be payable on the
third (3rd) business day of each thirty (30) day period following the Event
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
no event shall any liquidated damages be payable with respect to the Warrants or
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof.
Common Stock shall be
suspended or if the Common Stock is no longer quoted on or delisted from the
principal exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded for any reason for
more than ten (10) business days in the aggregate (any such failure or breach
being referred to as an "Event," and for purposes of clauses (A), (B) and (D)
the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (C) after more
than thirty (30) days, or for purposes of clause (E) the date on which such ten
(10) Business Day period is exceeded being referred to as "Event Date"), the
Company shall pay an amount as liquidated damages to each Holder, payable in
cash, equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the amount of the Holder’s
initial investment in the Notes for each calendar month or portion thereof
thereafter from the Event Date until the applicable Event is cured; provided,
however, that in no event shall the amount of liquidated damages payable at any
time and from time to time to any Holder pursuant to this Section 2.4 exceed an
aggregate of eight percent (8%) of the amount of the Holder’s initial investment
in the Notes. The Company shall not be liable for liquidated damages
under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by
the Commission to be included in a Registration Statement because of its
application of Rule 415 until such time as the provisions of this Agreement as
to the Registration Statements required to be filed pursuant to Section 2.3 are
triggered, in which case the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall once again
apply, if applicable. In such case, the liquidated damages shall be
calculated to only apply to the percentage of Registrable Securities which are
permitted by the Commission to be included in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
2.4, if (a) any of the Events described in clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) shall
have occurred, (b) on or prior to the applicable Event Date, the Company shall
have exercised in good faith its rights under Section 2.1(ii) hereof and (c) the
postponement or suspension permitted pursuant to such Section 2.1(ii) shall
remain effective as of such applicable Event Date, then the applicable Event
Date shall be deemed instead to occur on the second business day following the
termination of such postponement or suspension. Liquidated damages
payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be payable on the
third (3rd) business day of each thirty (30) day period following the Event
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
no event shall any liquidated damages be payable with respect to the Warrants or
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof.
Section
3.
Piggyback
Registration
.
3.1. If
at any time before 18 months from the date hereof the Company proposes to
register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for
shareholders of the Company other than the Holders) securities under the
Securities Act in connection with the public offering solely for cash on Form
S-1, S-2 or S-3 (or any replacement or successor forms), the Company shall
promptly give each Holder of Registrable Securities written notice of such
registration (a “
Piggyback
Registration
”). Upon the written request of each Holder given
within twenty (20) days following the date of such notice, the Company shall
cause to be included in such registration statement and use its best efforts to
be registered under the Securities Act all the Registrable Securities that each
such Holder shall have requested to be registered. The Company shall
have the absolute right to withdraw or cease to prepare or file any registration
statement for any offering referred to in this Section 3 without any obligation
or liability to any Holder.
3.2. If
the Underwriters’ Representative or Agent shall advise the Company in writing
(with a copy to each Selling Holder) that, in its opinion, the amount of
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration
would materially adversely affect such offering, or the timing thereof, then the
Company will include in such registration, to the extent of the amount and class
which the Company is so advised can be sold without such material adverse effect
in such offering: First, all securities proposed to be sold by the
Company for its own account; second, the Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration by Holders pursuant to this Section 3, and all
other securities being registered pursuant to the exercise of contractual rights
comparable to the rights granted in this Section 3, pro rata based on the
estimated gross proceeds from the sale thereof; and third all other securities
requested to be included in such registration.
3.3. Except
as set forth in Section 3.2, each Holder shall be entitled to have its
Registrable Securities included in any Piggyback Registrations
pursuant to this Section 3. The rights under this Section 3 shall
expire after 18 months from the date hereof.
Section
4. Registration
Procedures. Whenever required under Section 2 or Section 3 to effect
the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as practicable:
4.1. Prepare
and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities.
4.2. Prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act and rules thereunder with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement. If the
registration is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall amend the
registration statement or supplement the prospectus whenever required by the
terms of the underwriting agreement entered into pursuant to Section
5.2. Subject to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, if the
registration statement is a Shelf Registration, the Company shall amend the
registration statement or supplement the prospectus so that it will remain
current and in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act during the
period of its effectiveness, and if during such period any event or development
occurs as a result of which the registration statement or prospectus contains a
misstatement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the
Company shall promptly notify each Selling Holder, amend the registration
statement or supplement the prospectus so that each will thereafter comply with
the Securities Act and furnish to each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities
such amended or supplemented prospectus, which each such Holder shall thereafter
use in the Transfer of Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement. Pending such amendment or supplement each such Holder
shall cease making offers or Transfers of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
prior prospectus. In the event that any Registrable Securities
included in a registration statement subject to, or required by, this Agreement
remain unsold at the end of the period during which the Company is obligated to
use its efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement,
the Company may file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement
for the purpose of removing such Securities from registered
status. The Company shall file the final prospectus pursuant to Rule
424 of the Securities Act no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the business
day following the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission
4.3. Furnish
to each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, such numbers
of copies of the registration statement, any pre-effective or post-effective
amendment thereto, the prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus and any
amendments or supplements thereto, in each case in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules thereunder, and such other
related documents as any such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such Selling
Holder.
4.4. Use

Section
7. Indemnification;

registration statement under this Agreement:
7.1. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Selling Holder, each Person, if any, who controls such Selling

partner, and employee of such Selling Holder and such controlling Person,
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (joint or
several), including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and expenses of
investigation, incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened
action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or to which any of the
foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or other federal or state laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):
(i)
Any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein, or any amendments or supplements thereto;
or
(ii) The
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading;
provided
,
however
, that the
indemnification required by this Section 7.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case
for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
the indemnified party expressly for use in connection with such registration;
provided
,
further
, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to any
underwriter to the extent that any such loss is based on or arises out of an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or an omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact, contained in or omitted from any
preliminary prospectus if the final prospectus shall correct such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement, or such omission or alleged omission, and
a copy of the final prospectus has not been sent or given to such person at or
prior to the confirmation of sale to such person if such underwriter was under
an obligation to deliver such final prospectus and failed to do
so. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers,
dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in
the distribution, their officers, directors, agents and employees and each
person who controls such persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided
above with respect to the indemnification of the Selling Holders.
7.2. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, each Selling Holder shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who shall
have signed the registration statement, each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any other Selling Holder, any
controlling Person of any such other Selling Holder and each officer, director,
partner, and employee of such other Selling Holder and such controlling Person,
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses
(joint and several), including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and expenses of
investigation, incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened
action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or to which any of the foregoing
Persons may otherwise become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or other federal or state laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each
case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration;
provided
,
however
, that (x) the
indemnification required by this Section 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense if settlement
is effected without the consent of the relevant Selling Holder of Registrable
Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (y) in no
event shall the amount of any indemnity under this Section 7.2 exceed the net
proceeds from the applicable offering received by such Selling
Holder.
7.3. Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the
commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or threat thereof
made in writing for which such indemnified party may make a claim under this
Section 7, such indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties;
provided
,
however
, that an
indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees
and disbursements and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to
the indemnifying party within a reasonable time following the commencement of
any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 7 but shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than pursuant to this
Section 7. Any fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party
(including any fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend such action or proceeding) shall be paid to the indemnified
party, as incurred, within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof to the
indemnifying party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an
indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). Any
such indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action, claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expenses of such indemnified
party unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses
or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to promptly assume the defense
of such action, claim or proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such
action, claim or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to
the indemnifying party and that the assertion of such defenses would create a
conflict of interest such that counsel employed by the indemnifying party could
not faithfully represent the indemnified 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 of such action, claim or proceeding on
behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action, claim or
proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, claims or
proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any
time for all such indemnified parties, unless in the reasonable judgment of such
indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified
party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such action,
claim or proceeding, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to
pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels). No
indemnifying party shall be liable to an indemnified party for any settlement of
any action, proceeding or claim without the written consent of the indemnifying
party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.4. If
the indemnification required by this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is
unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Section 7:
(i)
The indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and
indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying
party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any Violation has been committed by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such Violation. The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably
incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or
proceeding.
(ii)
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the
equitable considerations referred to in Section 7.4(i). No Person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
7.5. If
indemnification is available under this Section 7, the indemnifying parties
shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in this
Section 7 without regard to the relative fault of such indemnifying party or
indemnified party or any other equitable consideration referred to in Section
7.4.
7.6. The
obligations of the Company and the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities
under this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Agreement, and
otherwise.
Section
8.
Transfer of Registration

Transferred as follows: all rights of a Holder with respect to

the Transferee, and the number of Registrable Securities which shall have been

unless mutually extended by the parties hereto in writing. The terms

offered to the Investors, if any, shall be determined by the Company after
consultation with LMG. The Placement Agent shall have comparable

or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not materially misleading in light of the
circumstances in which they were made.

Placement.

Exhibit
A
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
In
connection with the engagement of Legend Merchant Group, Inc. (“LMG”) to advise
and assist Dais Analytic Corporation (the “Company”) with the subject matter in
the letter agreement dated the date hereof between LMG and the Company, the
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LMG and its affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees and each other person
controlling LMG or any of LMG’s affiliates (collectively, the “LGM Indemnified
Parties”), to the full extent lawful, from and against any losses, expenses,
claims or proceedings (collectively, “Losses”) (i) related to or arising out of
(A) materially untrue or misleading oral or written information provided by the
Company, its employees or other agents, which information either the Company or
LMG, at the Company’s written request or with the Company’s written consent and
in the context offered, provided to any actual or potential buyers, sellers,
investors or offerees and such information directly and primarily resulted in
said Losses , or (B) any material action or failure to act by the Company, its
directors, officers, agents or employees provided Company knew or should have
reasonably known such action or failure to act would result in Company
providing, or having LGM provide on its behalf, materially untrue or misleading
information to actual or potential buyers, sellers, investors or offerees given
the context in which the information was requested or presented by Company
and provided such actions or failure to act were the direct and
primary cause of said Losses, or (ii) otherwise related to or arising out of
this engagement or any transaction or conduct in connection therewith and
resulting primarily from the Company’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, except that these clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply with respect
to (x) any losses that resulted from the negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of any Indemnified Parties, or (y) any amount paid in
settlement of claims without the Company’s written consent.
LMG
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dais Analytic Corporation and its
affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents, and employees and
each other person controlling Dais or any of Dais’ affiliates
(collectively, the "Dais Indemnified Parties"), to the full extent lawful ,from
and against any Losses related to or arising out of (A) materially untrue or
misleading oral or written information about the Company, its employees,
directors, officers or agents, which information either the Company or its
employees did not provide to LMG, was known or should have been reasonably known
by LGM to be incorrect, was not used by LGM or its agents in the
context for which it was provided or failed to include all information known or
provided to LGM, whether or not provided by Dais Indemnified Parties to LGM, and
as such was materially untrue or misleading, or (b) otherwise related to or
arising out of LMG's engagement or any transaction or conduct in connection
therewith and resulting primarily from LMG's negligence, bad faith, or willful
misconduct
In no
event shall LMG be responsible to Dais Indemnified Parties for any amounts in
excess of the amount of the compensation actually paid by the Company to LMG (in
cash or otherwise) in connection with the engagement (exclusive of amounts paid
for reimbursement of expenses or paid under this agreement) Further, in no event
shall Company be responsible to LMG Indemnified Parties for any amounts under
the foregoing indemnity in excess of the funds received by Company due to
issuance of stock under the Placement .
Promptly
after receiving notice of the commencement of any action or other proceeding in
respect of which indemnification or reimbursement may be sought hereunder, the
indemnified party will notify the indemnifying party thereof; but the
omission or delay to notify shall not relieve the indemnifying
party from any obligation hereunder unless, and only to the extent
that, the indemnifying party has been prejudiced by such omission or
delay. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought
against any indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall, upon written notice
given reasonably promptly following indemnified party’s notice to the
indemnifying party of such action or proceeding, be entitled to assume the
defense thereof at its expense with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party’s
and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified parties; provided, however, that
any indemnified party may at its own expense retain separate counsel to
participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own
expense and to control its own defense of such action or proceeding if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to
such
indemnified party, (i) there are legal defenses available to such indemnified
party or to other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to
those available to the Company, or (ii) a conflict or likely conflict exists
between the indemnifying party and such indemnified party that would make such
separate representation advisable; provided, however, that in no event shall the
indemnifying party be required to pay fees and expenses under this indemnity for
more than one counsel in any one legal action or group of related legal actions,
or fees and expenses that are not reasonable and customary. The
indemnifying party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters that
are the subject of LMG’s engagement (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a
party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising or
that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding.
The
foregoing agreement is in addition to any rights LMG and Company may have at
common law or otherwise and shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of any
successors, assigns, and personal representatives of the Company, LGM, Dais
Indemnified Parties and each Indemnified Party. This agreement is
governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s
rules concerning conflicts of laws. Each of the parties hereto also
hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in
New York County, New York in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this
agreement, agrees not to commence any suit, action or proceeding relating hereto
except in such courts, and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the
right to move to dismiss or transfer any action brought in such court on the
basis of any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue or inconvenient
forum. Solely for purposes of enforcing this agreement, each party
hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service of process and venue in any
court in which any claim or proceeding that is subject to this agreement is
brought against the other party.
This
agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the completion
or termination of the engagement.
