Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 30, 2021, Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and retail investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a negotiated purchase price per share of $6.20 (the “Shares”), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.2 million, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company (the “Offering”). The offering price per share was negotiated based on the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on Nasdaq over the three-week period immediately preceding the date of the Subscription Agreements, less a five percent discount. The issuance of the Shares purchased in the Offering is expected to occur no later than October 4, 2021.

 

The Shares were offered and sold by the Company through a prospectus supplement pursuant to the Company’s “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3, which was previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 13, 2019 and subsequently declared effective on May 22, 2019 (File No. 333-231429) (the “Registration Statement”). Securities issued pursuant to the Registration Statement may only be offered by means of a prospectus. The Company has filed with the SEC the prospectus supplement, together with the accompanying base prospectus, used in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.

 

Wellington Shields & Co., LLC (“Wellington”) served as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering, pursuant to a placement agency agreement dated as of September 23, 2021 (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), between the Company and Wellington. The Company has agreed to pay Wellington a cash fee of 6.00% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the Offering. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Wellington for certain expenses in connection with the Offering in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Placement Agency Agreement and Subscription Agreements are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Placement Agency Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Subscription Agreements, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K, and which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.

 

A copy of the opinion of Conner & Winters, LLP relating to the validity of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On October 4, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the Offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 7.01 by reference.

 

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

 

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall be deemed “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the opinion expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of such opinion. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and delivered to the Purchasers pursuant to the terms of their respective Subscription Agreements against payment of the consideration therefor as provided therein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

The opinion expressed herein is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated the date hereof filed by the Company and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-231429) (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), and to the reference to Conner & Winters, LLP under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus supplement dated September 30, 2021 constituting a part of such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

The Company will advise Wellington and its counsel if it becomes aware that any officer, director or stockholder of the Company or its subsidiaries is or becomes an affiliate or associated person of a FINRA member participating in the Offering. As disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Commission, Capital Bank-Grawe Gruppe AG (“Capital Bank”), a banking institution regulated by the banking regulations of Austria, has represented to the Company that as of May 14, 2021, (i) it holds of record as a nominee for, and as an agent of, certain accredited investors, 2,049,210 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) none of the Common Stock held by Capital Bank for the account of any single investor represents more than 4.9% of the Company’s Common Stock, and (iii) as far as stocks held by such investors in accounts with Capital Bank, none of such investors act together as a group or otherwise act in concert for the purpose of voting on matters subject to the vote of the Company’s stockholders or for purpose of disposition or investment of such stock.

 

(xxiii) Other than Wellington, no person has the right to act as a placement agent, underwriter or as a financial advisor in connection with the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby.

 

5. Closing and Settlement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of, the Shares shall be made at one or more closings (each a “Closing” and the date on which each Closing occurs, a “Closing Date”) to be conducted remotely. Payment of the purchase price at each Closing shall be made by the Placement Agent to the Company by Federal Funds wire transfer, against delivery of the Shares being purchased by the Investors at such Closing, registered in such name or names and shall be in such denominations as set forth in the applicable subscription agreement executed by each Investor.

 

6. Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with Wellington as follows:

 

(a) During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the later of the Closing Date or such date as the Final Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Shares hereunder (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), prior to amending or supplementing the Registration Statement, including any Rule 462 Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, the Company shall furnish to Wellington for review and comment a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement, and the Company shall not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which Wellington reasonably objects.

 

9

 

 

(b) From the date of this Agreement until the end of the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company shall promptly advise Wellington in writing (i) of the receipt of any comments or requests for additional or supplemental information from the Commission, (ii) of the time and date of any filing of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, (iii) of the time and date that any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective and (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending its use or the use of the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, or of any proceedings to remove, suspend or terminate from listing or quotation the Shares from any securities exchange upon which it is listed for trading or included or designated for quotation, or of the threatening or initiation of any proceedings for any of such purposes. If the Commission shall enter any such stop order at any time during the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment. Additionally, the Company agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of Rules 424(b), 430A and 430B, as applicable, under the Securities Act and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company under Rule 424(b) or Rule 433 were received in a timely manner by the Commission (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) or Rule 164(b) of the Securities Act).

 

(c) During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as now and hereafter amended, and by the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time in force, and by the Exchange Act, as now and hereafter amended, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or dealings in the Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof, the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus. If during such period any event occurs the result of which the Final Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Company or its counsel or in the reasonable opinion of Wellington or its counsel to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify Wellington and will amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

 

(d) The Company covenants that it will not, unless it obtains the prior written consent of Wellington, make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Act. In the event that Wellington expressly consents in writing to any such free writing prospectus (a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”), the Company covenants that it shall (i) treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) comply with the requirements of Rule 164 and 433 of the Act applicable to such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

 

(e) The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a 12-month period that shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations.

 

10

 

 

(f) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any action designed to or which might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, or that has constituted, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

 

(g) The Company, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, will pay or cause to be paid (i) all out-of-pocket expenses (including transfer taxes allocated to the respective transferees) incurred in connection with the delivery of the Shares, including the reasonable legal fees of Wellington’s counsel, up to a maximum amount of $50,000 for all such expenses and fees, (ii) all expenses and fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel) in connection with the preparation, printing, filing, delivery, and shipping of the Registration Statement (including the financial statements therein and all amendments, schedules, and exhibits thereto), the Shares, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (iii) all reasonable filing fees and reasonable fees and disbursements of Wellington’s counsel incurred in connection with the qualification of the Shares for offering and sale by Wellington or by dealers under the securities or blue sky laws of the states and other jurisdictions that Wellington shall designate, (iv) the fees and expenses of any transfer agent or registrar, (v) listing fees, if any, and (vi) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder that are not otherwise specifically provided for herein.

 

(h) Except pursuant to the terms of outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities, the Company will not issue or sell any Common Stock or other equity or equity-linked securities (other than under existing stock option plans) during the Exclusive Term.

 

7. Conditions of Wellington’s Obligations. Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Wellington, the obligations of Wellington hereunder are subject to the accuracy, as of the date hereof and at the applicable Closing Date (as if made at the Closing Date), of and compliance with all representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained herein, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and the following additional conditions:

 

(a) If filing of the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, is required under the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations, the Company shall have filed the Final Prospectus (or such amendment or supplement) with the Commission in the manner and within the time period so required (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) or Rule 164(b) under the Securities Act); the Registration Statement shall remain effective; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof, any Rule 462 Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof, nor suspending or preventing the use of the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus shall have been issued; no proceedings for the issuance of such an order shall have been initiated or threatened; any request of the Commission for additional information (to be included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or otherwise) shall have been complied with to Wellington’s satisfaction.

(e) The Company shall have furnished to Wellington and Wellington’s counsel such additional documents, certificates and evidence as Wellington or Wellington’s counsel may have reasonably requested.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Wellington, its affiliates, directors and officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls Wellington within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which Wellington or such person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and Regulations, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any documents filed under the Exchange Act and deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus), or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) in whole or in part, any material inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein, or (iii) in whole or in part, any failure by the Company to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or under law, and will reimburse Wellington for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with evaluating, investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to reimburse for legal fees and expenses for more than one law firm, and the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by Wellington specifically for use in the preparation thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company will not, however, be responsible for any claim for indemnification hereunder to the extent that such claim is finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any person seeking indemnification for such claim pursuant to this Section 8(a).

 

13

 

 

(b) Wellington will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Wellington), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with evaluating, investigating or defending against such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by Wellington specifically for use in the preparation thereof, and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Wellington will not, however, be responsible for any claim for indemnification hereunder to the extent that such claim is finally judicially determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any person seeking indemnification for such claim pursuant to this Section 8(b).

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b), above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if (i) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (ii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on the reasonable advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), or (iii) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, the indemnified party, together with all other indemnified parties entitled to separate counsel under any of the provisos listed in (i), (ii), or (iii) of this Section 8(c), shall have the right to employ a single counsel to represent it or them in any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 8, in which event the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties and reimbursed to the indemnified party or parties as incurred; provided, further, that if one or more of such indemnified parties has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other such indemnified parties, such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ a separate counsel to represent it or them as described above.

 

14

 

 

The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party or could be named and indemnity was or would be sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (a) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (b) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b), above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and Wellington, on the other hand, from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and Wellington, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and Wellington, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total placement agent fees received by Wellington, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Shares set forth on such cover. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or Wellington and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and Wellington agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim that is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), Wellington shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of Wellington’s placement agent fees actually received by Wellington from the Offering. 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.

 

15

 

 

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and the benefits of such obligations shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls Wellington within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and the obligations of Wellington under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability that Wellington may otherwise have and the benefits of such obligations shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the Company, and its officers, directors and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

 

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, Wellington confirms, and the Company acknowledges, that there is no information concerning Wellington furnished in writing to the Company by Wellington specifically for preparation of or inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, other than the statements regarding Wellington set forth in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Final Prospectus and Time of Sale Disclosure Package, only insofar as such statement relate to the amount of selling concession and related activities that may be undertaken by Wellington.

 

9. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto including, but not limited to, the agreements of Wellington and the Company contained in Section 1, Section 6(h) and Section 8 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Wellington or any controlling person thereof, or the Company or any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, and shall survive delivery of, and payment for, the Shares to and by Wellington hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all communications hereunder shall be in writing and, if to Wellington, shall be mailed or delivered to Wellington Shields & Co LLC, 140 Broadway, Suite 4400, New York NY 10005, Attention: Steve Portas or emailed to steve.portas@WellingtonShields.com; and if to the Company, shall be mailed or delivered to Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc., 8302 Dunwoody Place, Suite 250, Atlanta GA 30350, Attention: Ben Naccarato, or emailed to bnaccarato@perma-fix.com; or in each case to such other address as the person to be notified may have requested in writing. Any party to this Agreement may change such address for notices by sending to the parties to this Agreement written notice of a new address for such purpose.

 

10. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and the controlling persons, officers and directors referred to in Section 8. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. The term “successors and assigns” as herein used shall not include any purchaser, as such purchaser, of any of the Shares.

 

16

 

 

11. Independent Contractor; No Fiduciary Relationship. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, rights enforceable by any person or entity not a party hereto, except those entitled hereto by virtue of the Indemnification Provisions hereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that Wellington will perform its services hereunder as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement will in any way be construed to constitute Wellington a fiduciary of the Company. The Company acknowledges that Wellington shall have no duties or liabilities to the equity holders or the creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement or the retention of Wellington hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised that Wellington and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that Wellington has no obligation to disclose such interest and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship, all of which are hereby expressly disavowed by Wellington.

 

12. No Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of Wellington or its affiliates to (a) trade in the Company’s or any other company’s securities or publish research on the Company or any other company, subject to applicable law, or (b) pursue or engage in investment banking, financial advisory or other business relationships with entities that may be engaged in or contemplate engaging in, or acquiring or disposing of, businesses that are similar to or competitive with the business of the Company.

 

13. Amendments and Waivers. No supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. The failure of a party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (regardless of whether similar), nor shall any such waiver be deemed or constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

 

14. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any section, paragraph, clause or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section, paragraph, clause or provision.

 

15. Governing Law. The Company and Wellington explicitly and expressly agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to conflict of law principles. In any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of State and Federal courts located in New York County, New York.

(a) Organization; Authority. The Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of the Purchaser. The Agreement has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Purchaser was first contacted by the Company or the Placement Agent, as applicable, regarding the specific investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Purchaser Party of a release from all liability in respect to such action or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Purchaser Party.
