On February 22, 2016, Bone Biologics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a share purchase agreement (the “MTF Share Purchase Agreement”) with Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, Inc. (“MTF”), pursuant to which MTF agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 731,707 shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share equal to $2.05. Mr. Bruce Stroever, MTF’s Chief Executive Officer, is the Chairman of the Board of the Company. Prior to giving effect to the transactions described in this Item 1.01, MTF holds approximately 30.61% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The MTF Share Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On February 22, 2016, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Orthofix Share Purchase Agreement”) with Orthofix, Inc. (“Orthofix”), pursuant to which Orthofix agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 487,804 shares of common stock of the Company at a price per share equal to $2.05. The Orthofix Share Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On February 24, 2016 the Company entered into an Option Agreement for the Distribution and Supply of Sygnal™ demineralized bone matrix (“Sygnal”) with MTF pursuant to which:

 

a. MTF grants to the Company the exclusive right and option (the “Option”) to distribute Sygnal upon the critical terms as described in the Option Agreement (the “Option Rights”). The Company will exercise the Option, if at all, by providing written notice to MTF of its intent to do so. During the term of the Option, MTF will not enter into any agreements with any third parties which include the transfer by MTF of the Option Rights.

 

b. Upon the exercising of the Option, the Company will grant to MTF 700,000 shares of common stock in the Company.

 

c. Within 30 days of exercising the Option, MTF will provide the Company with a written proposal of a Definitive Agreement that includes, inter alia , the Critical Terms and those other commercially reasonable terms as agreed upon by the parties. The parties will fully negotiate in good faith all of the terms of the Definitive Agreement, and any ancillary agreements thereto consistent with the Critical Terms.

 

d. In the event the Company does not exercise the Option within the Term of the Option Agreement, MTF will be free to enter into any other agreement relating to the Option Rights as it deems appropriate without liability to the Company.

 

Sygnal is a bone void filler containing allograft bone that has the inorganic mineral removed, leaving behind the organic “collagen” matrix.

 

Convertible Secured Term Note and Warrant

 

On February 24, 2016, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $2,000,000 (the “Convertible Note”) to Hankey Capital, LLC (“Hankey Capital”). The Convertible Note matures on February 23, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest at an annual rate of interest at the “prime rate” (as quoted in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal) plus 4.0%, with a minimum rate of 8.5% per annum until maturity, with interest payable monthly in arrears. Prior to the Maturity Date, Hankey Capital has a right, in its sole discretion, to convert the Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”), at a conversion rate equal to $1.58 per share.

 

2
 

 

The Convertible Note is secured by certain collateral shares of Common Stock issued by the Company in the name of Hankey Capital, in such amount so as to maintain a loan to value ratio of no greater than 50% (the “Collateral Shares”). The number of Collateral Shares will be adjusted on a yearly basis. The Convertible Note is further secured by all of the Company’s personal property, including collateral assignments of all the Company’s license agreements and the Option Agreement.

 

The principal amount of the loan is prepayable in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty. Upon any voluntary partial prepayment of outstanding principal, Hankey Capital will return Collateral Shares to the Company in the amount necessary, if any, to maintain the loan to value ratio at no less than 50%. Upon a full payment of the outstanding principal, all Collateral Shares will be returned and cancelled. Hankey Capital will also return Collateral Shares under the same terms in case of partial or full conversion of the Convertible Note.

 

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Convertible Note for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

In connection with the Convertible Notes, on February 24, 2016, the Company also issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to Hankey Capital for 1,898,734 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price per share of $2.05. The Warrant will expire on February 23, 2021. The Warrant includes such other terms that are normal and customary for warrants of this type.

 

The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Hankey Capital pursuant to which the Company granted to Hankey Capital demand and piggyback rights with respect to the Conversion Shares, the Collateral Shares, and the Warrant Shares.

 

The form of the Convertible Note, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Warrant are attached as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 to this Report, and the summary description of the terms of the Convertible Note, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The discussion in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

The shares issued to MTF and Orthofix, the Convertible Note, the Warrant and the Collateral Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be issued in reliance of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such reliance was based upon the fact that (i) the issuance of the Securities did not involve a public offering, (ii) each counterparty represented that they are accredited investors and (iii) each counterparty made certain investment representations.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any of the Shares to any person who is a resident of a jurisdiction in which the issuance of Shares to it would constitute a violation of the securities, “blue sky” or other similar laws of such jurisdiction (collectively referred to as the “ State Securities Laws ”). Pending the Closing, all funds will be deposited into escrow with David Kagel, Esq., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent” ).

 

5. Closing and Closing Date .

(g) Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the Purchased Shares or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment.

Purchaser understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.

Upon any request for a Demand Registration, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the prompt registration under the Securities Act of the Shares which the company has been so requested to register by the Demand Holder as contained in the Request Notice, all to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Shares so to be registered in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition of each seller of such Shares. The Company will not be required to effect more than an aggregate of one Demand Registration. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action that Purchasers requesting inclusion in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them, the Shares held by them, the intended method of disposition of such Shares and other matters as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

THE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THERE ARE FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THE SHARES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

 

THE PURCHASE OF THE SHARES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONLY BY PERSONS WHO CAN BEAR THE RISK OF THE LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

The Company and Purchaser are sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “ Parties ,” and each individually as a “ Party .”

 

2. Recitals . Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the Company is currently offering (the “ Offering ”) for sale shares of its Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Shares ”). Purchaser further understands that the Offering is being made without registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and is being made to Purchaser in its capacity as an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act).

 

3. Subscription . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby irrevocably subscribes for that number of Shares referenced below on the signature page (the “ Purchased Shares ”) for the total purchase price also referenced below on the signature page. The purchase price is payable in accordance with Section 6, below. The Parties acknowledge that the Shares will be subject to restrictions on transfer pursuant this Agreement.

 

4. Acceptance of Subscription and Issuance of Shares; Escrow . It is understood and agreed that the Company shall have the sole right, at its complete discretion, to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason and that the same shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when it is signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and delivered to Purchaser at the Closing referred to in Section 5 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any of the Shares to any person who is a resident of a jurisdiction in which the issuance of Shares to it would constitute a violation of the securities, “blue sky” or other similar laws of such jurisdiction (collectively referred to as the “ State Securities Laws ”). Pending the Closing, all funds will be deposited into escrow with David Kagel, Esq., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent” ).

 

5. Closing and Closing Date . The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (the “ Closing ”) shall take place at the offices of the Company, on the day designated by the Company (the “ Closing Date ”), or at such place as the Parties may agree after satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth herein.

 

6. Payment for Shares . Upon execution of this Agreement, payment for the Shares shall be received by the Company from Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Escrow Agent as set forth on the Instructions. As soon as practicable after the Closing the Company shall deliver to Purchaser a certificate for the Purchased Shares. The Company shall deliver certificates representing the Purchased Shares to the undersigned at the Closing bearing an appropriate legend referring to the fact that the Purchased Shares were sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

 

 
 

 

7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company . The Company represents, warrants and covenants that:

 

(a) The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted and to own its assets and has secured any other authorizations, approvals, permits and orders required by law for the conduct by the Company of its business as it is currently being conducted.

It is understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the Purchased Shares provided by the Company or any of its affiliates shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to purchase the Purchased Shares, and that neither the Company nor any of its affiliates is acting or has acted as an advisor to Purchaser in deciding to invest in the Purchased Shares. Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has made any representation regarding the proper characterization of the Purchased Shares for purposes of determining Purchaser’s authority to invest in the Purchased Shares.

(f) Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has the right in its sole and absolute discretion to abandon this private placement at any time prior to the completion of the offering. This Agreement shall thereafter have no force or effect and the Company shall return the previously paid subscription price of the Shares, without interest thereon, to Purchaser.

 

(g) Purchaser understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the Purchased Shares or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of this investment.

 

(h) The Shares offered hereby are highly speculative, involve a high degree of risk and immediate dilution, and should be purchased only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal income and other tax consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of the Shares.

 

(i) Purchaser confirms that the Company has not (A) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Shares or (B) made any representation to the undersigned regarding the legality of an investment in the Shares under applicable legal investment or similar laws or regulations.

Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any State Securities Laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of Purchaser and of the other representations made by Purchaser in this Agreement. Purchaser understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions.

As a consequence, Purchaser understands that it must bear the economic risks of the investment in the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period of time.

 

(d) Purchaser has not offered or sold any portion of the Purchased Shares and has no present intention of dividing the Purchased Shares with others or of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of the Purchased Shares.

5

Upon any request for a Demand Registration, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the prompt registration under the Securities Act of the Shares which the company has been so requested to register by the Demand Holder as contained in the Request Notice, all to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Shares so to be registered in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition of each seller of such Shares. The Company will not be required to effect more than an aggregate of one Demand Registration. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action that Purchasers requesting inclusion in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them, the Shares held by them, the intended method of disposition of such Shares and other matters as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company.

13. Additional Provisions .

Each of the Parties hereby expressly forever waives any and all rights to raise the use of a fax machine or E-Mail to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a fax machine or E-Mail, as a defense to the formation of a contract.

Whereas, MTF desires to grant BBC the option to commercialize and distribute Sygnal and BBC desires to accept such Option on the terms and conditions contained herein (the “Option”).

 

Now Therefore, for mutual benefit, the parties agree as follows:

 

I. Option Grant .

 

  (a) MTF hereby grants to BBC, during the Term of this Agreement, the exclusive right and option to distribute Sygnal upon the Critical Terms set forth below (the “Option Rights”). BBC shall exercise the Option, if at all, by providing written notice to MTF of its intent to do so. During the Term, MTF agrees not to enter into any agreements with any third parties which include the transfer by MTF of the Option Rights.
     
  (b) Upon the exercising of the Option, BBC shall grant to MTF 700,000 shares of restricted common stock in BBC.
     
  (c) Within 30 days of exercising the Option, MTF shall provide BBC with a written proposal of a Definitive Agreement that includes, inter alia , the Critical Terms and those other commercially reasonable terms as agreed upon by the parties. The parties shall fully negotiate in good faith all of the terms of the Definitive Agreement, and any ancillary agreements thereto consistent with the Critical Terms.
     
  (d) In the event BBC does not exercise the Option within the Term of this Option Agreement, MTF shall be free to enter into any other agreements relating to the Option Rights as it deems appropriate without liability to BBC.

  (b) BBC shall take legal possession of Sygnal prior to distribution and all legal risk and obligation attendant to possession of human tissue shall be with BBC and not MTF.

 

 
 

 

  (c) BBC shall take possession of Sygnal from MTF in its current development state. BBC shall be solely responsible for all development costs of Sygnal, including stability and packaging testing, prior to distribution of Sygnal. BBC shall meet all legal, regulatory and AATB requirements as a distributor of Sygnal.
     
  (d) The parties shall negotiate the Transfer Price of Sygnal from MTF to BBC in good faith.

  (f) The parties shall provide customary indemnifications for each party’s respective conduct, including breach of contract, representations and warranties.

  a. In the event of an assignment of this Agreement, or of the Definitive Agreement, to HC due to BBC’s default under the Loan, MTF agrees as follows:
       
    i. MTF shall use commercially reasonable efforts work directly with HC for the distribution or other commercialization of Sygnal. As used herein, commercially reasonable efforts shall include actions to evaluate, select, contract and launch Sygnal into the orthopedic marketplace and may which include entering into a strategic relationship for the distribution, sale or licensing of Sygnal.
       
    ii. Any proceeds from the distribution or commercialization of Sygnal will be applied first to pay off the then-existing Loan amount to HC, with the understanding that proceeds is calculated as sale price less Transfer Price paid to MTF.

  (b) HC may, in turn, assign this Agreement to an unrelated third party, but only with the advance, written consent of MTF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event HC is compensated for such assignment, whether in cash or in kind and whether at the time of assignment or other, at greater than the then-current Loan balance, MTF shall receive such amount in excess of the Loan balance. If HC or its third party permitted assignee shall exercise the Option Rights hereunder, the assigned obligation of BBC share transfer set forth at I(b) hereof shall be waived.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and intending to be legally bound hereby, BONE BIOLOGICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with an address of 321 Columbus Ave., Boston, MA 02116 (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to the order of HANKEY CAPITAL, LLC, a California limited liability company, with a mailing address of 4751 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 110, Los Angeles, California 90010 (“Payee”), the principal amount of Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00), with interest thereon from the date hereof at the interest rate or rates stated below, interest and principal to be paid as set forth below. All payments shall be made by Maker to Payee at the office of Payee indicated above or such other place as Payee may from time to time specify in writing in lawful currency of the United States of America in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments.

 

1. Definitions .

 

1.1 For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

 

“Base Rate” shall mean a rate of interest per annum equal to the greater of (A) the Prime Rate as in effect from time to time, plus four percent (4.0%) and (B) eight and half percent (8.5%). If and when the Prime Rate changes, the Base Rate may change automatically without notice to Maker, effective on the date of any such change.

 

“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to be closed.

 

“Dollar” and “$” shall mean lawful money of the United States of America.

 

“GAAP” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles as adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, consistently applied.

 

“Loan” shall mean the loan made to Maker by Payee pursuant to this Note in the original principal amount of Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00).

 

     
     

  

“Loan Documents” shall mean this Note and all agreements, instruments, documents, exhibits, schedules, amendments, modifications, supplements, certificates, financing statements, reports, and notices related thereto, including a five (5) year warrant, dated the date hereof, to purchase 1,463,415 shares of common stock of the Maker at a conversion price of $2.05.

 

“LTV Ratio” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the ratio of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with all unpaid interest which shall have accrued thereon, to (B) the Securities Collateral Value.

 

“Maximum Ratio” shall mean a ratio equal to 50%.

 

“Prime Rate” shall mean the “prime rate” as quoted in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal or the highest “prime rate” if more than one is published. The Prime Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate of interest actually charged by Payee to any particular class or category of customers. In the event The Wall Street Journal no longer publishes such “prime rate”, Payee shall have the right, exercising reasonable judgment, to substitute a new method for determining a comparable interest rate, and such rate of interest determined by such method shall constitute the Prime Rate hereunder.

 

“UCC” shall mean Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect from time to time in the state of Delaware; provided, however, that, in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of any applicable law, any of the attachment, perfection or priority Payee’s Security Interest (as defined hereinafter) in any Collateral (as defined hereinafter) is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of a jurisdiction other than such state, “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such attachment, perfection or priority and for purposes of the definitions related to or otherwise used in such provisions.

 

“Securities Collateral” shall mean all shares of common stock of Maker issued in the name of Payee as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (as defined hereinafter) pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Note.

 

“Securities Collateral Value” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the market value of the Securities Collateral as determined by Maker and Payee. If the common stock of Maker is listed on any stock exchange or trading publicly, the market value of the Securities Collateral as of any date of determination shall be conclusively determined by the weighted average volume daily price for the common stock of Maker as measured over the course of the sixty (60) day period prior to such date of determination, provided further that prior to the day upon which the common stock of Maker is listed on any stock exchange or trading publicly the market value of the Securities Collateral as of any date of determination shall be conclusively determined by using $1.58 as the price for the common stock of the Maker.

 

1.2 Unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms have the meanings given to them in the UCC (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined): “account”, “accession”, “account debtor”, “chattel paper”, “commercial tort claim”, “commodity contract”, “deposit account”, “electronic chattel paper”, “equipment”, “fixture”, “general intangible”, “goods”, “instruments”, “inventory”, “investment property”, “letter-of-credit right”, “proceeds”, “record”, “securities account”, “security”, “supporting obligation” and “tangible chattel paper”.

In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of Maker and Payee in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Note to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the State of Delaware from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity; and if, under or from any circumstances whatsoever Payee should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all agreements between Maker and Payee.

3.5 Conversion . Prior to the Maturity Date, Payee shall have the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal under this Note into common stock of Maker (each a “Conversion”) at a price per share equal to One and 58/100 Dollars ($1.58) (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price and the number of shares issuable upon a Conversion shall be subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and etc. Upon Payee’s election to make a Conversion, Payee shall credit the principal amount of the Note which is converted against the outstanding principal balance of the Loan dollar-for-dollar. Upon any Conversion, Payee shall return Collateral Securities to Maker in the amount necessary, if any, to cause the LTV Ratio as of the date of such Conversion to be not less than the Maximum Ratio.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, fees, expenses and other amounts due to Payee (excluding principal) as Payee determines in its sole discretion, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that after an Event of Default hereunder, payments will be applied to the obligations of Maker to Payee in any order as Payee determines in its sole discretion.

Upon receipt of any such written notice, Maker shall, at its option and election, either (A) voluntarily prepay principal outstanding under this Note in the amount necessary to cause the LTV Ratio as of the end of the noticed Reconciliation Day, after giving effect such payment, to no longer exceed the Maximum Ratio; or (B) issue additional shares of common stock of Maker in the name of Payee and with restrictive legends in the amount necessary to cause the LTV Ratio, as of the end of the noticed Reconciliation Day, after giving effect such issuance, to no longer exceed the Maximum Ratio. The Maker shall seek to register the Securities Collateral initially delivered on the date of this Note pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement between the Payee and the Maker dated the date hereof. Upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, the Maker will remove the restrictive legends from the Securities Collateral so long as the Payee agrees in any event not to sell any Securities Collateral if Payee is notified that the Registration Statement is no longer effective. Payee may hold the Securities Collateral in any brokerage account of Payee’s choosing, in the name of Payee. Payee shall not transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of any Securities Collateral, except during the existence of an Event of Default in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies as a secured lender.

 

9.4 Assignment of License Agreements . As collateral security for the Secured Obligations, Maker hereby assigns, transfers and pledges to Payee all of Maker’s right, title and interest in, to and under all licenses in favor of Maker, whether now existing or hereafter arising, as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated, extended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing and all claims of Maker with respect thereto and together with all right, title and interest of Maker in and to any and all extensions and renewals of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “License Agreements”). Until Maker has received written notice from Payee that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, by reason thereof, Payee has declared the entire unpaid principal amount hereof and all interest accrued hereon, and all other sums owed under, or secured by, the Loan Documents, to be due and payable, Maker shall have the exclusive right to exercise all rights in, to and under the License Agreements, and Payee shall not have any right to exercise such rights hereunder. Upon Maker receipt of such written notice and during its continuance, Payee shall be entitled, at Payee’s option and election, to exercise all rights in, to and under any or all of the License Agreements, whether or not Payee shall take possession of any part of the License Agreements. The foregoing assignment shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party.

 

9.5 Authorization . Payee is hereby authorized to file financing statements and amendments to financing statements without Maker’s signature, in accordance with the UCC. Maker hereby authorizes Payee to file all such financing statements and amendments to financing statements describing the Collateral in any filing office as Payee, in its sole discretion may determine, including financing statements listing “All Assets” in the collateral description therein. Maker agrees to comply with the requests of Payee in order for Payee to have and maintain a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral including, without limitation, executing and causing any other person to execute such documents as Lender may require to obtain control (as defined in the UCC) over all deposit accounts, letter of credit rights and investment property.

9.6 Further Assurances . Maker shall do anything further that may be reasonably required by Payee to secure Payee and effectuate the intentions and objects of this Section 9. At Payee’s reasonable request, Maker shall immediately deliver all necessary documents or forms to reflect, implement or enforce the Security Interest described herein or cause to be delivered to Payee all items for which Payee must receive possession to obtain a perfected security interest.

 

10. Events of Default . Each of the following shall constitute an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”): (A) the nonpayment of any principal, interest or other indebtedness under this Note or any other Loan Document when due, which nonpayment is not cured within five (5) Business Days; (B) Maker’s failure to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in this Note or any other Loan Document, which failure is not cured within fifteen (15) Business Days of Maker’s receipt of written notice of the same from Payee; (C) the occurrence of an Event of Default or any default and the lapse of any applicable notice or cure period under any other Loan Document between Maker and Payee; (D) the filing by or against Maker of any proceeding in bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, conservatorship or similar proceeding (and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against Maker, such proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days of the commencement thereof); (E) any assignment by Maker for the benefit of creditors, or any levy, garnishment, attachment or similar proceeding is instituted against any property of Maker held by or deposited with Payee (and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against Maker, such proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within thirty (30) days of the commencement thereof); (F) a default with respect to any other material indebtedness of Maker for borrowed money, if the effect of such default is to cause or permit the acceleration of such debt; (G) the commencement of any foreclosure or forfeiture proceeding, execution or attachment against any material Collateral securing the Secured Obligations; (H) the entry of a material judgment against Maker and the failure of Maker to discharge the judgment within thirty (30) days of the entry thereof; and (I) any representation or warranty made by Maker to Payee in any Loan Document, or any other documents now or in the future securing the obligations of Maker to Payee, is false, erroneous or misleading in any material respect.

 

11. Remedies . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required in the Loan Documents or by law) to or upon Maker or any other person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), Payee may exercise any right, power or remedy permitted by law or as set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Payee shall thereupon have the right at its option to declare the entire unpaid principal amount hereof and all interest accrued hereon, and all other sums owed under, or secured by, the Loan Documents to be, and such principal, interest and other sums shall thereupon become, forthwith due and payable. The failure by Payee to exercise the acceleration option shall not constitute a waiver of its right to exercise the acceleration option at any other time so long as that Event of Default remains outstanding and uncured or to exercise it upon the occurrence of another Event of Default. The entire unpaid principal amount hereof and all interest accrued hereon, and all other sums owed under, or secured by, the Loan Documents shall be due and payable automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10(D) or (E) above.

 

  11  
     

  

12. Right of Setoff . Maker hereby grants to Payee, a continuing lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Payee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and upon prior written notice to Maker, Payee may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Maker even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan. MAKER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO REQUIRE PAYEE TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS, COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY OF MAKER.

 

13. Rights Cumulative . The rights and remedies of Payee as provided herein and in any other Loan Document shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively or together against Maker or any collateral, at the sole discretion of Payee; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release of the same. Payee shall not by any act of omission or commission be deemed to waive any of its rights or remedies under this Note unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Payee, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein; and a waiver of one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of such right or remedy upon a subsequent event. Payee shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for, or guarantees of, the Loan or to resort to any such security or guarantee in any particular order and Maker waives, to the fullest extent that it lawfully can, (A) any right it might have to require Payee to pursue any particular remedy before proceeding against Maker and (B) any right to the benefit of, or to direct the application of the proceeds of any collateral until the Loan is repaid in full.

 

14. Limitations on Conversions and Collateral Securities . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time that any of Maker’s equity securities are registered under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the number of common stock shares that may be acquired by the Payee upon any exercise of any Conversion, or otherwise in respect hereof, shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise, or other acquisition, the total number of common stock shares then beneficially owned by Payee and its Affiliates (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of the common stock shares would be aggregated with Payee’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% (the “5% Maximum Percentage”) of the total number of issued and outstanding common stock shares (including for such purpose the common stock shares issuable upon such exercise or other acquisition). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Maker shall, instead of issuing or transferring common stock shares in excess of the limitation referred to herein, suspend its obligation to issue common stock shares in excess of the foregoing limitation until such time, if any, as such common stock shares may be issued in compliance with such limitation; provided, that, by written notice to Maker, Payee may waive the provisions of this section or increase or decrease the 5% Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided further that any such waiver or increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is received by Maker.

MAKER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF PAYEE HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT PAYEE WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR PAYEE TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND MAKE THE LOAN.

 

16. Payment of Fees and Expenses . Maker shall pay on demand all expenses of Payee up to $5,000 in connection with the preparation, administration, default, collection, waiver or amendment of loan terms, or in connection with Payee’s exercise, preservation or enforcement of any of its rights, remedies or options hereunder, including, without limitation, fees of outside legal counsel or the allocated costs of in-house legal counsel, accounting, consulting, brokerage or other similar professional fees or expenses, and the amount of all such expenses shall, until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to principal hereunder (including the Default Rate), and shall be secured by the Collateral and the other Loan Documents.

BONE BIOLOGICS, CORP.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrant

 

Bone Biologics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), for value received, hereby certifies that Hankey Capital, LLC, or its registered assigns (the “ Registered Holder ”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time after the date hereof and on or before the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 6 below), up to 1,463,415 shares (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant) of $0.001 par value per share common stock of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”), at an exercise price of $2.05 per share. The shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the exercise price per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “ Warrant Stock ” and the “ Exercise Price ,” respectively.

 

1. Exercise .

 

(a) Manner of Exercise . This Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, at any time and from time to time on or before the Expiration Date, in whole or in part, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Registered Holder or by such Registered Holder’s duly authorized attorney, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price payable in respect of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise (the “ Purchase Price ”). The Purchase Price may be paid by cash, check, wire transfer or by the surrender of promissory notes or other instruments representing indebtedness of the Company to the Registered Holder.

 

(b) Effective Time of Exercise . Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Stock shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Stock to be represented by such certificates.

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

 

  i. a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to which such Registered Holder shall be entitled, and
     
  ii. in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor and with the same date, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Warrant Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such shares purchased by the Registered Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1(a) above (without giving effect to any adjustment thereof).

 

2. Adjustments .

 

(a) Stock Splits and Dividends . If outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in Common Stock shall be paid in respect of the Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

(b) Reclassification, Etc . In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 2(a); and in each such case, the terms of this Section 2 shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

 

(c) Adjustment Certificate . When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Stock or the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall promptly mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price after such adjustment and (iii) the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.

Each certificate or other instrument for Warrant Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect.

(c) Warrant Register . The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Registered Holders of this Warrant. Until any transfer of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided , however , that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Registered Holder may change such Registered Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.

 

4. No Impairment . The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against impairment.

 

5. Representations and Warranties of the Registered Holder . The Registered Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a) Purchase Entirely for Own Account . The Registered Holder acknowledges that this Warrant is given to the Registered Holder in reliance upon the Registered Holder’s representation to the Company, which by its acceptance of this Warrant the Registered Holder hereby confirms, that the Warrant, and the Warrant Stock (collectively, the “ Securities ”) being acquired by the Registered Holder are being acquired for investment for the Registered Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Registered Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities laws. By executing this Warrant, the Registered Holder further represents that the Registered Holder does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Registered Holder represents that it has full power and authority to execute this Warrant. The Registered Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring any of the Securities.

 

3
 

 

(b) Disclosure of Information . The Registered Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities with the Company’s management. The Registered Holder understands that such discussions, as well as any written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business which it believes to be material.

 

(c) Restricted Securities . The Registered Holder understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Registered Holder’s representations as expressed herein. The Registered Holder understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Registered Holder must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Registered Holder further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Registered Holder’s control, and which the Company may not be able to satisfy.

 

(d) Legends . The Registered Holder understands that the Securities, and any securities issued in respect of or exchanged for the Securities, may bear one or all of the following legends:

 

(i) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

 

(ii) Any legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by the certificate so legended.

 

(e) Accredited Investor . The Registered Holder is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

6. Termination . This Warrant (and the right to purchase Warrant Stock upon exercise hereof) shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the following (the “ Expiration Date ”): (a) the date that is five (5) years after the Date of Issuance (b) the sale, conveyance or disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business or the Company’s merger with or into or consolidation with any other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) or any other transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (each a “ Significant Transaction ”), provided that this Section 6(b) shall not apply to a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company or to an equity financing in which the Company is the surviving corporation, or (c) the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act. In the event of a Significant Transaction, the Registered Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such Significant Transaction.

7. Limitations on Conversions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time that any of Company’s equity securities are registered under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the number of Common Stock shares that may be acquired by the Registered Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant, or otherwise in respect hereof, shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise, or other acquisition, the total number of Common Stock shares then beneficially owned by Payee and its Affiliates (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of the common stock shares would be aggregated with Payee’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% (the “5% Maximum Percentage”) of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Stock shares (including for such purpose the Common Stock shares issuable upon such exercise or other acquisition). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Company shall, instead of issuing or transferring Common Stock shares in excess of the limitation referred to herein, suspend its obligation to issue Common Stock shares in excess of the foregoing limitation until such time, if any, as such Common Stock shares may be issued in compliance with such limitation; provided, that, by written notice to Company, Payee may waive the provisions of this section or increase or decrease the 5% Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided further that any such waiver or increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is received by Company.

 

8. Reservation of Stock . The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of Warrant Stock and other stock, securities and property, as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

AGREEMENTS

 

In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions . In addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, as used in this Agreement, the terms:

 

“Affiliate” of any particular person or entity means any other person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such particular person or entity and, for any person that is a partnership, will also include any general or limited partner of such partnership.

 

“Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which commercial banks in California or New York are obligated by any legal requirement to close.

 

“Commission” means the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

   
   

 

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

“Initial Public Offering” means the Company’s first underwritten Public Offering.

 

“Public Offering” means any offering by the Company of its equity securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or any comparable statement under any comparable federal statute then in effect.

 

“Registrable Shares” means at any time (i) any Shares beneficially held, directly or indirectly, by Stockholder; and (ii) any shares of Common Stock then issuable directly or indirectly upon the conversion or exercise of other securities or which were issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in replacement of such Shares referred to in (i); provided, however, that Registrable Shares shall not include any shares which have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or which have been sold to the public or maybe sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other available exemption to the Securities Act. For purposes of this Agreement, a person will be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Shares whenever such person has the then existing right to acquire such Registrable Shares (by conversion or otherwise), whether or not such acquisition actually has been effected (it being understood, however, that any Registrable Shares which are not shares of Common Stock shall be converted into or exercised for shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the filing of any registration pursuant to which such Common Stock is to be registered).

 

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

2. Demand Registration .

 

2.1 Requests for Registration . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Stockholder may, at any time, request registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Shares on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration (“ Long-Form Registration ”) or, if available, on Form S-2 or S-3 or any similar short-form registration (“ Short-Form Registration ”) (either of such registrations, a “ Demand Registration ”). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of any request pursuant to this Section 2.1, subject to Section 2.2 below, the Company shall give written notice of the Demand Registration to all other holders of Registrable Shares and will include in such registration all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within twenty-five (25) days after delivery of the Company’s notice. Stockholder will be entitled to request three (3) Long-Form Registrations or Short-Form Registrations, in which the Company will pay, in each case, all Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 6 below). A registration will not constitute one of the permitted Demand Registrations until it has become effective and the holders of the Registrable Shares, as applicable, have been able to register and sell at least fifty percent (50%) of its Registrable Shares, respectively, requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall be entitled to include in any Demand Registration shares to be sold by the Company for its own account, provided that in the event that the number of shares included by the Company exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the shares registered in such registration, such registration will not count as a Demand Registration hereunder.

 

  2  
   

 

2.2 Priority . The Company will include in any Demand Registration any Registrable Shares, or any other securities; provided, however, if the Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included exceeds the number of securities which can reasonably be sold in such offering, the Company will include in such registration, first, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the number of shares which such holders requested to be included in such registration, and second, the other securities to be included in such Demand Registration pro rata among the holders of such shares on the basis of the number of shares which such holders requested to be included in such registration.

 

2.3 Selection of Underwriters . In connection with any Demand Registration in which Stockholder elected to include Registrable Shares, the Company shall have the right to select the managing underwriters.

 

3.1 Right to Piggyback . Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Demand Registration hereunder) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of any Registrable Shares (a “ Piggyback Registration ”), the Company will give prompt written notice to all holders of the Registrable Shares of its intention to effect such a registration and will include in such registration all Registrable Shares (in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 below) with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Company’s notice.

 

3.2 Priority on Primary Registrations . If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can reasonably be sold in such offering, the Company will include in such registration first , the securities that the Company proposes to sell, second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the number of shares which such holders requested to be included in such registration, and third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

 

3.3 Priority on Secondary Registrations . If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities other than a Demand Registration and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can reasonably be sold in such offering, the Company will include in such registration first , the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration, second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares which by such holders requested to be included in such registration, and, third, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

 

  3  
   

 

3.4 Selection of Underwriters . In connection with any Piggyback Registration in which Stockholder elected to include Registrable Shares, the Company shall have the right to select the managing underwriters.

 

4. Holdback Agreements .

 

4.1 Holders’ Agreements . Each holder of Registrable Shares agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the six (6) months following, the effective date of this Agreement.

 

5. Registration Procedures . Whenever the holders of Registrable Shares have requested that any Registrable Shares be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Shares and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish copies of all such documents proposed to be filed to the counsel or counsels for the sellers of the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement);

 

(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus(es) used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than twelve months or until all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement have been sold.

 

(c) notify each seller of such Registrable Shares, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the sellers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

 

(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or national quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted;

 

(e) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form if requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Shares;

 

  4  
   

 

(f) advise each stockholder of such Registrable Shares, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use all reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

 

(g) at least forty eight (48) hours prior to the filing of any registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Shares; and

 

(h) at the request of any seller of such Registrable Shares in connection with an underwritten offering, furnish on the date or dates provided for in the underwriting agreement: (i) an opinion of counsel, addressed to the underwriters and the sellers of Registrable Shares, covering such matters as such underwriters and sellers may reasonably request, including such matters as are customarily furnished in connection with an underwritten offering; (ii) a letter or letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company addressed to the underwriters and the sellers of Registrable Shares, covering such matters as such underwriters and sellers may reasonably request, in which letter(s) such accountants shall state, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that they are independent certified public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that in their opinion the financial statements and other financial data of the Company included in the registration statement, the prospectus(es), or any amendment or supplement thereto, comply in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act; and (iii) officers or employees for participation in the “road shows” for such underwritten offering provided that the Stockholder shall be required to pay the costs of such items.

6.1 Company’s Expenses . All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants (including all special audit and financial statement costs), and other persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), will be borne by the Company.

 

6.2 Holder’s Expenses . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each holder of Registrable Shares will pay all discounts and commissions attributable to their respective shares and all attorney fees and disbursements for counsel they retain in connection with the registration of Registrable Shares, as the case may be.

 

  5  
   

 

7. Indemnification .

 

7.1 By the Company . The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Shares, its officers, directors and trustees and each person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation, attorney’s fees) caused by or relating to any action or proceeding arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except such indemnification shall not be available to a holder, its officers and directors or controlling person insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Shares. The payments required by this Section 7.1 will be made periodically during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.

 

7.2 By Each Holder . In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Shares is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be several, not joint and several, among such holders of Registrable Shares and the liability of each such holder of Registrable Shares will be limited to and in proportion to the net amount received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Shares, as the case may be, pursuant to such registration statement.

 

7.3 Procedure . Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by the failure to give such notice), and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) and which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

  6  
   

 

7.4 Contribution . If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which such indemnified party would be otherwise entitled under Section 7, then 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 action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made 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 action. 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 any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. In no event shall any person be required to contribute an amount greater than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such person with respect to the sale of any Registrable Shares.

 

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 account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. 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. The contribution provided for in this Section 7.4 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

7.5 Survival . The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, trustee or controlling person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. The Company also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

  7  
   

 

8. Compliance with Rule 144 . The Company shall make available to the public and such holders and file with the Commission such information and reports as will enable the holders to make sales pursuant to Rule 144.

 

9. Participation in Underwritten Registrations . No person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such person (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by such person or persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, (c) provides all customary information reasonably requested by the Company or underwriter in connection with such registration, including copies of customary documents, instruments and agreements and (d) complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with such registration.

 

10. Miscellaneous .

 

10.1 Successors and Assigns . This Agreement is not assignable by any Stockholder without the express written consent of the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of holders of Registrable Shares are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holders of such Shares.

 

10.2 Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

 

10.3 Descriptive Headings . The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of and shall not be utilized in interpreting this Agreement.
