Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 3, 2020, Document Security Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with LiquidValue Asset Management Pte Ltd (“LVAM”), AMRE Asset Management Inc. (“AAMI”) and American Medical REIT Inc. (“AMRE”), regarding a share subscription and loan arrangement. The Term Sheet sets out the terms of a proposed joint venture to establish a medical real estate investment trust in the United States. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company will subscribe for 5,250 ordinary shares of AAMI at a purchase price of $0.01 per share for total consideration of $52.50. Concurrently, AAMI will issue 2,500 shares to LVAM, and 1,250 shares to AMRE Tennessee, LLC, AMRE’s executive management’s holding company (collectively, the “Subscription Shares”). As a result, the Company will hold 52.5% of the outstanding shares of AAMI, with LVAM and AMRE Tennessee, LLC, holding 35% and 12.5% of the remaining outstanding shares of AAMI, respectively.

 

AAMI is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) management company that sets the strategic vision and formulate investment strategy for AMRE. It manages the REIT’s assets and liabilities and provides recommendations to AMRE on acquisition and divestments in accordance with the investment strategies.

 

AMRE was formed to originate, acquire, and lease a credit-centric portfolio of licensed medical real estate. AMRE provides investors the opportunity for direct ownership of Class A licensed medical real estate. AMRE intends to acquire purpose-built healthcare facilities and lease them to leading clinical operators with strong market share under secure triple net leases. AMRE targets hospitals (both Critical Access and Specialty Surgical), Physician Group Practices, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and other licensed medical treatment facilities.

 

The Term Sheet provides a right of first refusal regarding the Subscription Shares and requires that if any AAMI shares are sold to a third party, such third party must agree to become a party to the Term Sheet. The Term Sheet also provides tag along rights among the parties. The Term Sheet is legally binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms against all parties and if the parties agree not to enter into any formal definitive agreements regarding the transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet, the Term Sheet shall have the full effect as if a definitive agreement had been entered into regarding same.

 

Further, pursuant to and in connection with the Term Sheet, on March 3, 2020, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with AMRE, pursuant to which AMRE will issue the Company a promissory note for the principal amount of $800,000.00 (the “Note”). The Note matures on March 3, 2022 and accrues interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms set forth in the Note. Under the Note, AMRE may prepay or repay all or any portion of the Note at any time, without a premium or penalty. If not sooner prepaid, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Note including accrued interest will be due and payable in full on March 3, 2022. AMRE’s failure to pay any amount due on the Note within five days of when payment is due constitutes an event of default under the Note, pursuant to which the Company can declare the Note due and payable. The Note also provides the Company an option to provide AMRE an additional $800,000 on the same terms and conditions as the Note, including the issuance of warrants as described below.

 

As further incentive to enter into the Note, AMRE issued the Company warrants to purchase 160,000 shares of AMRE common stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant, and expire on March 3, 2024. Pursuant to the Warrants, if AMRE files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering (“IPO”) of AMRE’s common stock and the IPO price per share offered to the public is less than $10.00 per share, the exercise price of the Warrant shall be adjusted downward to 50% of the IPO price. The Warrant also grants piggyback registration rights to the Company as set forth in the Warrant.

 

 
 

 

The parties to the Term Sheet, including AMRE Tennessee, LLC, also entered into a stockholders’ agreement dated as of March 3, 2020 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), regarding their ownership of AAMI’s common stock to regulate certain aspects of the relationship between the stockholders and provide for certain rights and obligations with respect to such ownership, as set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement. Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, the portion of the Subscription Shares issued to AMRE Tennessee, LLC (the “Tennessee Shares”) are subject to forfeit, such that if a specified employee of AMRE is separated from employment with AMRE within three years of the date of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Tennessee Shares shall be returned to AAMI’s treasury; if such employee remains employed with AMRE at such anniversary, the Tennessee Shares shall no longer be subject to forfeit. The Stockholders’ Agreement also provides for certain distributions to the parties as set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement. The Stockholders’ Agreement will terminate upon the dissolution and winding up of AAMI or the date on which the parties agree to terminate the Stockholders’ Agreement by unanimous written consent.

 

LVAM is an 82% owned subsidiary of Singapore eDevelopment Limited whose Chief Executive Office and largest shareholder is Heng Fai Ambrose Chan, the Chairman of the Board and largest shareholder of the Company. In addition, As such, the above transactions constitute related party transactions which have been duly approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Furthermore, following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet, Mr. Chan and Frank D. Heuszel, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will be appointed to the board of directors of AAMI.

 

The foregoing summary of the Term Sheet, Promissory Note, Warrants and Stockholder Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the terms of the Term Sheet, the Promissory Note, the Form of Warrant and the Stockholder Agreement, a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4, respectively.

(together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America, without setoff and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00)(“Note Principal”), together with interest thereon from the date of this Promissory Note (this “Note”). All amounts due under this Note shall be paid on or before March 3, 2022. Interest on the outstanding balance of this Note shall accrue at a rate of eight percent (8.00%) per annum, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note.

 

1. Payment. The Borrower shall be entitled to prepay or repay all or any portion of this Note at any time, without premium or penalty. Payment of interest shall be made in cash annually in arrears on March 3. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. If not sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on March 3, 2022. All payments made by the Borrower shall be applied first, to any unpaid accrued interest and second, to the outstanding principal of this Note.

 

2. Warrants; Additional Note.

 

(a) As further incentive to enter into this Note, the Borrower hereby grants the Lender warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”).

The form of the Warrants, which shall include additional terms and conditions, is attached as Exhibit A. The Warrants shall be exercisable for four (4) years, and are exercisable at $5.00 (the “Exercise Price”). If the Company files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”), and the IPO price per share offered to the public (the “IPO Price”) is less than ten (10) dollars a share, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted downward to fifty percent (50%) of the IPO Price.

 

(b) The Borrower also grants to Lender the option to lend Borrower up to an additional $800,000 (eight hundred thousand dollars) upon the same terms as this Note and with a grant of Warrants at the same terms included above. This option expires upon the payment of the amounts due under this Note.

 

3. Default and Remedies. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of any amount within five days after the due date thereof, and a subsequent five day cure period, then an “Event of Default” shall exist. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Lender may declare this Note to be due and payable, and the Lender may exercise and shall have any and all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law and this Note or otherwise and may take any such action and exercise any such power as it may elect to enforce its rights and remedies under applicable law and this Note.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

AMERIcan MEDICAL REIT, INC.

 

Initial Exercise Date: March 3, 2020

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, DSS Securities, Inc. and its permitted assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after March 3, 2020 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the four-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from AMERICAN MEDICAL REIT, INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), a certain amount of shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”) up to the Warrant Amount (as defined below in Section 1). The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Promissory Note (the “Note”), dated March 3, 2020, between the Company and the Holder.

 

Section 1. Warrant Amount The Warrant Amount granted is the equivalent of the principal of the Note divided by the Exercise Price.

 

Section 2. Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto.

Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

     
 

 

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $5.00 (five dollars), subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Mechanics of Exercise.

The Company will issue a stock certificate representing the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to the Holder by the date that is five (5) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(c)(v) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. Any certificate issued to Holder representing Warrant Shares shall contain the restrictive legend language specified in the Purchase Agreement.

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the transmittal to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

  2  
 

 

v. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.

 

vi. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) IPO Exercise Price. If the Company files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock (the “IPO”), and the IPO price per share offered to the public (the “IPO Price”) is less than ten (10) dollars per share, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted downward to fifty percent (50%) of the IPO Price.

 

b) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

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

 

d) Notice to Holder. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

  3  
 

 

Section 4. Registration Rights.

 

a) Piggyback Registration Rights. The Company shall include on the next registration statement the Company files with SEC (or on the subsequent registration statement if such registration statement is withdrawn) all shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”); Nothwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be in breach of this Agreement if any or all of the Registrable Securities cannot be included on the next registration statement the Company files with the SEC is the result of either (i) in the case of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter as set forth below or (ii) SEC Guidance (as defined below) under Rule 415 or similar rule which limits the number of Registrable Securities which may be included in a registration statement with respect to Holder.

 

b) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section, if the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform Holder and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to any registration statement as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any (i) any publicly-available written or oral guidance of the SEC staff, or any comments, requirements or requests of the SEC staff and (ii) the Securities Act (collectively, “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages set forth above, if the SEC or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular registration statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows: (i) First, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included by any person other than Holder; (ii) Second, subject to written approval by Holder, the Company shall reduce the Registrable Securities. In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice.

 

c) In addition, if any rights granted pursuant to this Section involves the inclusion of securities in connection with an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, an investment banker) shall advise the Company that, in its opinion, the number of securities requested and otherwise proposed to be included on such registration statement exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such Registration to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering, first, the securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account on such registration statement and second, the Registrable Securities of the Holder requesting to be included on such registration statement.

 

  4  
 

 

d) In the event the Company amends the any registration statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or S-11 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered on any prior registration statement filed with the SEC.

 

e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the 1933 Act until the first to occur of: (A) the date that is one (1) year from the date the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC (the “Cut-Off Date”) and (B) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”).

 

Section 5. Holder Representations

The Holder is receiving the Warrant and the shares underlying the Warrant for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, by making the representations herein, the Holder does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Warrants or its underlying shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Warrant or its underlying shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act. The Holder does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of Company securities in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability Company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any Governmental Entity or any department or agency thereof

  5

e) Transfer or Resale.

  7  
 

 

d) Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect in full the exercise of this Warrant, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the Holder, the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including without limitation, using its best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

  8  
 

 

f) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

g) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

h) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

i) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

j) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

k) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

l) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

m) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Confidential Information includes: (i) information transferred or transmitted in writing, orally, visually, electronically or by any other means, whether prior to, on or after the date hereof; (ii) information provided to the Stockholder by third parties under circumstances where such Stockholder has an obligation not to disclose that information; and (iii) any memoranda, reports, analyses, extracts or notes such Stockholder produces that are based on, reflect or contain any of the Confidential Information (the items referred to in this clause (iii) collectively referred to as “Notes”). Confidential Information does not include any information that: (A) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Stockholder in violation of this Agreement; (B) was in such Stockholder’s possession prior to the disclosure of the Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such Stockholder did not know, or have reason to believe, after reasonable investigation, that such source was subject to an obligation not to disclose such information; and/or (C) becomes available to such Stockholder on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or any Company Representative; provided that such Stockholder did not know, or have reason to believe, after reasonable investigation, that such source was subject to an obligation not to disclose such information.

 

     

 

 

c. Required Disclosure. If a Stockholder is requested to disclose any Confidential Information (including, but not limited to, any Notes) in connection with any legal or administrative proceeding or investigation, such Stockholder will notify the Company immediately in writing of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request so that the Company may, in its sole discretion, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or take steps to resist or narrow the scope of the disclosure sought by such request. The Stockholder agrees to assist the Company in seeking a protective order or other remedy, if requested by the Company. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained and, in the written opinion of Stockholder’s counsel, disclosure is required, such Stockholder may make such disclosure without liability under this Agreement, provided that such Stockholder furnishes only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, the Stockholder gives the Company notice of the information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as practicable and the Stockholder uses its best efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded to all such disclosed information.

 

d. Return of Confidential Information. Promptly after sale or other Transfer of all of a Stockholder’s Stock (except to a successor entity with a substantially similar ownership) such Stockholder will promptly delete all Confidential Information from any computer and backup storage system in which the Confidential Information has been stored and will turn over to the Company: (a) all documents and other materials (including without limitation all copies or reproductions of such documents or materials, tapes, floppy disks, backup copies and other forms of electronic storage media) that constitute, contain or are derived from the Confidential Information and (b) all other documents, Notes and other materials connected with or arising out of the Stockholder’s ownership, and no copy thereof will be retained by such Stockholder. The Stockholder will deliver to the Company a certificate that such Stockholder has complied with the requirements of this Section 3.2. Notwithstanding the return, deletion or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Stockholder will continue to be bound by the obligations of confidentiality and other obligations under this Article III.

 

e. Remedies. Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Article III were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Company will be entitled to equitable relief, including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Article III and to enforce specifically this Article III and its provisions in addition to any other remedy to which the Company may be entitled, at law or in equity.
