Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Securities Purchase Agreement and Notes Offering
On June
28, 2018, ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (the “Company”)
conducted a private placement offering (the “Offering”)
in which the Company sold $1,077,000 aggregate principal amount of
senior secured convertible promissory notes (the
“Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants” and,
together with the Notes, the “Securities”) exercisable
for 267,113 shares of the Company’s common stock
(“Common Stock”) to accredited investors (the
“Investors”) for approximately $1.1 million of gross
proceeds. Certain of the Company’s officers and directors
purchased Securities in the Offering.
The
Notes are convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price equal
to the lesser of (a) the lowest per share price at which Common
Stock is sold in a Qualified Financing, as applicable, less a
discount of 20%, or (b) $2.016, but in any event no less than a
conversion price floor of $1.40.
The
Company sold the Securities pursuant to a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated June 28,
2018, between the Company and each Investor. Each Note bears
interest at a rate of 10% per annum until maturity on December 31,
2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest will be paid in
arrears on the outstanding principal amount on the three month
anniversary of the issuance of the Notes and each three month
period thereafter and on the Maturity Date or on the date of
conversion in full of each such Note. The principal amount of the
Notes will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock (i)
upon the consummation of a sale by the Company of Common Stock
resulting in aggregate gross cash proceeds of at least $7.0 million
(a “Qualified Financing”) or (ii) if the holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes
elect to convert the Notes at any time until three days prior to a
Qualified Financing. Additionally, holders of Notes
(“Noteholders”) are entitled to convert the principal
amount of Notes into Common Stock (i) at any time until three days
prior to the consummation of a Qualified Financing or (ii) if a
material Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) shall have
occurred and be continuing. In each case, conversion is subject to
the terms and provisions of the Notes. Each Investor has agreed, in
connection with a Qualified Financing, not to sell, make any short
sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise
dispose of any shares underlying the Securities for a period of 90
days from the effective date of a registration statement for such
Qualified Financing.
The
Notes provide for customary events of default. In the case of an
event of default with respect to the Notes, each Noteholder may
declare its Note to be due and payable immediately without further
action or notice. If such an event of default occurs and be
continuing, interest on the Notes will automatically be increased
to 15% until the default is cured.
The
Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties
and covenants. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the
Company has agreed to indemnify each of the Investors and its
affiliates against certain liabilities.
National
Securities Corporation (the “Placement Agent”) acted as
placement agent in the Offering pursuant to a Placement Agent
Agreement, dated June 11, 2018 (the “Placement Agent
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, the
Company paid to the Placement Agent a commission of 10% of the
gross proceeds from the Offering, reimbursed $34,000 of the
Placement Agent’s expenses and issued to the Placement Agent
a warrant exercisable for 53,423 shares of Common Stock (the
“Placement Agent Warrant”).
Each
Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase shares of Common Stock
for an exercise price per share equal to $2.52, which was the
closing bid price of shares of Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital
Market on June 27, 2018. The Warrants are exercisable commencing
six months after the date of issuance and expire June 28, 2021. The
terms of the Placement Agent Warrant are the same as those of the
Warrants.
The
foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the
Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Form of Purchase Agreement, Form of
Note and Form of Warrant, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1,
4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K
and are incorporated herein by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, the Company, the Investors and the
Placement Agent entered into a registration rights agreement (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the
Company agreed to file a registration statement (the
“Registration Statement”) within 45 days of the closing
date of the Offering covering the resale of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of
the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrant (collectively, the
“Registrable Securities”). If the Registration
Statement is not filed by that time, the Company will make pro rata
payments to each holder of Registrable Securities in an amount
equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such holder
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each 30-day period or pro
rata for any portion thereof for which no Registration Statement is
filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement
to become effective as soon as practicable after filing and to
remain effective until the earlier of the date that (i) all of the
Registrable Securities have been sold or (ii) the Registrable
Securities may be sold without restriction by each holder pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”).
The
foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Form of Registration Rights Agreement, which is
filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Security Agreement
In
connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Security
Agreement with the Investors (the “Security Agreement”)
pursuant to which the Notes are secured by a first priority lien
(subject to permitted liens or permitted encumbrances, as
applicable) on substantially all of the Company’s
assets.
The
foregoing description of the Security Agreement does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Form of Security Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.

group of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of all Notes then outstanding (the “
Required Note Holders
”) notify the

then this Note shall automatically convert, through no further

(e)
Mechanics
of Conversion
.
(i)
Conversion;
Issuance of Shares
. To convert this Note pursuant to
Sections 3(b), 3(c) or 3(d) above into shares of Common Stock on
any date (a “
Conversion
Date
”), the Holder shall deliver (whether via
facsimile or otherwise) a copy of a properly and fully-completed
and executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit I
(the
“
Conversion
Notice
”) to the Company. On or before the second
Business Day following the date of receipt of such Conversion
Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or email (by
attachment in PDF format) an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the
form attached hereto as
Exhibit II
, of receipt of such
Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer
agent (the “
Transfer
Agent
”). On or before the third Business Day following
the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice but subject to the
surrender for cancellation by the Holder of the original Note (or,
if applicable, a Lost Note Affidavit (defined below)), or the
triggering of a mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 3(a) or
3(b) above, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue
and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the Holder a
certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall
be entitled, with the legends required by the Securities Purchase
Agreement or applicable law.
(ii)
Registration;
Book-Entry
. The Company shall maintain a register (the
“
Register
”) for
the recordation of the names and addresses of the registered
holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by
such holders (the “
Registered
Notes
”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The
Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all
purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive
payments of Principal and Interest hereunder and the right to
receive shares of Common Stock upon conversion hereof)
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be
assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by
registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Subject to
the satisfaction of applicable law and any restrictions that have
been mutually agreed by the Company and the initial purchaser of
this Note (which shall be binding upon the Holder hereof), upon
receipt by the Company of the registered Holder’s written
request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered
Note by the holder thereof accompanied by this original Note for
cancellation (or a Lost Note Affidavit, if applicable), the Company
shall record the information contained therein in the Register and
issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate
principal amount as the unrepaid and unconverted principal amount
of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or
transferee pursuant to Section 12, provided that if the Company
does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may
be) of all or part of any Registered Note within two (2) Business
Days of its receipt of such a proper request, then the Register
shall be automatically updated to reflect such assignment, transfer
or sale (as the case may be).
(iii)
No
Fractional Shares; Transfer Taxes
. The Company shall not
issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.
If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a
share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a
share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company
shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes
that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of
Common Stock upon any conversion.
(f)
Holder’s
Exercise Limitations
. The Company shall not effect any
exercise of this Note, and Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Note, pursuant to Section 3 or
otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates (as defined below), and any other persons acting as a
group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s
Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion
of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other common stock equivalents)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any
of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
for purposes of this Section 1(B), beneficial ownership shall be
calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 3(f) applies, the
determination of whether this Note is exercisable (in relation to
other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates)
and of which portion of this Note is exercisable shall be in the
sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of
exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of
whether this Note is exercisable (in relation to other securities
owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which
portion of this Note is exercisable, in each case subject to the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no
obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 3(f), in determining the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, Holder may rely on the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the
Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with
the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company
or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding. In any case, the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company,
including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date
as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall
be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Note. The Holder, upon not
less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section
3(f). Any such decrease will not be effective until the 61st day
after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of
this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner
otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section
3(f) to correct this paragraph which may be defective or
inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or
desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The
limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor
holder of this Note. “Affiliate” means any person that,
directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls
or is controlled by or is under common control with a person as
such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the
Securities Act.

the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) in favor of
each of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement)
or (B) as a result of the act or omission of Holder or the holder
of any Other Note and not materially related to the failure of the
Company to satisfy or tender to satisfy its obligations under the
Security Documents, and such breach remains uncured for a period of
three (3) Business Days after notice from Holder or the holder of
any Other Note of such failure or ceasing;
(xiii)
any
material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of, any
Collateral, whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor
dispute, embargo, condemnation, act of God or public enemy, or
other casualty which causes, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive
days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing
activities at any facility of the Company, if any such event or
circumstance could have a Material Adverse Effect; or
(xiv)
any
Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with
respect to any Other Notes.
(b)
Notice
of an Event of Default
. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company
shall within two (2) Business Days deliver written notice thereof
via facsimile and overnight courier (with next day delivery
specified) (an “
Event of
Default Notice
”) to the Holder. At any time after the
earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice
and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder
may, by notice to the Company (a “
Holder Default Notice
”), declare
this Note to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Principal
and all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, plus all reasonable
costs of enforcement and collection (including court costs and
reasonable attorney’s fees), shall immediately become and be
forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Company. This Note is intended to be entitled, if the
Company’s assets are insufficient to permit payment in full
in cash of this Note and all the Other Notes, to proportional
payment along with each of the Other Notes to the extent payment is
demanded by the Holder of this Note and the holders of any of the
Other Notes in accordance with the Security Documents. In the event
that the Company reasonably believes that it does not have the
immediate liquidity to repay in full in cash this Note and all the
Other Notes, the Company may, for a period of up to fifteen (15)
Business Days, delay in payment of this Note after acceleration in
connection with a Holder Default Notice to attempt to facilitate
proper allocation of payments among the Holder of this Note and the
holders of the Other Notes in accordance with the Security
Documents and an opportunity for the holders of the Other Notes to
become aware of the Holder Default Notice and promptly to exercise
their rights under the Other Notes and the Security Documents.
Nothing in this Section 4(b) will prevent the Holder from pursuing
enforcement of its rights under the Security
Documents.
5.
ADJUSTMENT
OF CONVERSION PRICE
.
(a)
Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common
Stock
. If the Company subdivides (by any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares,
the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any
time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise)
one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination.
(b)
Other
Events
. In the event that the Company shall take any action
to which the provisions of Section 5(a) are not strictly
applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the
Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type
contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5 but not expressly
provided for by such provisions, then the Company’s Board of
Directors shall in good faith determine and implement an
appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the
rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to
this Section 5(b) will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise
determined pursuant to this Section 5, provided further that if the
Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting
its interests hereunder against such dilution, then the
Company’s Board of Directors and the Holder shall agree, in
good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally
recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose
determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and
expenses shall be borne by the Company.
6.
NONCIRCUMVENTION
.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not,
by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and
will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of
this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the
rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding,
the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares
of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the
Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) shall take all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note, including
without limitation complying with Section 7(b) hereof.
7.
RESERVATION
OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
.
(a)
Reservation
.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued shares Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note, no less than 100%
of the maximum number of shares issuable on conversion of the Note
(the “
Required Reserve
Amount
”).
(b)
Insufficient
Authorized Shares
. If, notwithstanding Section 7(a), and not
in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain
outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of
authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its
obligation to reserve a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
the Required Reserve Amount (an “
Authorized Share Failure
”), then
the Company shall immediately take all action within its power
necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of
Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to
reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding,
including without limitation using its best efforts to secure
necessary Board of Directors and stockholder approvals, as further
described below, to appropriately amend the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation to provide for such increase. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, if not earlier
approved by written consent of the stockholders, as soon as
practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share
Failure, but in no event later than seventy (70) days after the
occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold
a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock; in connection with
any such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholders with
a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its
stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares
of Common Stock and to cause its Board of Directors to recommend to
the stockholders that they approve such proposal.
8.
COVENANTS
.
Until all of the Notes have been converted or otherwise satisfied
in accordance with their terms:
(a)
Rank
.
This Note shall rank senior to all other indebtedness of the
Company, provided that all payments due under this Note shall rank
pari passu
with all Other
Notes. The Company agrees that it will not, without the consent of
the Required Note Holders: (i) grant a consensual lien on any of
the Collateral in connection with any other indebtedness for
borrowed money incurred by the Company; (ii) incur any indebtedness
for borrowed money which is senior in right of repayment to the
Notes, or (iii) give any guarantees for borrowed money of the
Company or of any subsidiary of the Company or in respect of any
lease or other obligation of the Company or of a subsidiary that
would be senior in right of payment of the Notes.
(b)
Announcement
of Qualified Financing
. After such time as the Company
determines that it will consummate a Qualified Financing, it shall
send a notice to the Holder (the “
Financing Notice
”) of the proposed
consummation date of the Qualified Financing (the expected date of
such consummation is the “
Announced Financing Date
”), but
such Financing Notice shall be dispatched in any event no later
than three (3) calendar days prior to such Announced Financing
Date. To the extent that the Announced Financing Date is
subsequently advanced or delayed, the Company shall send an amended
Financing Notice of the revised proposed consummation date of the
Qualified Financing to the Holder; provided, however, the Company
may not advance the Announced Financing Date to a date less than
five (5) Business Days after the date of the latest amending
Financing Notice. If any Announced Financing Date is delayed, the
amending Financing Notice will be deemed the establishment of a new
Announced Financing Date and any Conversion Notice given based on a
previously Announced Financing Date will be deemed cancelled unless
the Holder affirms in writing the Conversion Notice as
given.
9.
SECURITY
.
This Note and the Other Notes are secured to the extent and in the
manner set forth in the Transaction Documents (including, without
limitation, the Security Agreement and the other Security
Documents).
10.

Company and the Required Note Holders. If this Note (along with the
Other Notes then outstanding) is amended pursuant to clause (b) of
this Section 10, such amendment shall be binding on the Holder and
each holder of each Other Note whether or not the Holder or such
holder of such Other Note consents thereto.
11.
TRANSFER
.
This Note and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
this Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by the
Holder without the consent of the Company, subject only to the

less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a
new Note (in accordance with Section 12(d)) to the Holder
representing the outstanding Principal not being
transferred.
(b)
Lost,
Stolen or Mutilated Note
. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Note (as to which a written
certification and the indemnification contemplated below (each a
“
Lost Note
Affidavit
”) shall suffice as such evidence), and, in
the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification
undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary for, and
reasonably acceptable to the Company and, if the Note is converted
in connection with a Qualified Financing, the Company’s
managing underwriter, and, in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute

12(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.
(c)
Note
Exchangeable for Different Denominations
. This Note is
exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the
principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in
accordance with Section 12(d) and in principal amounts of at least
$1,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of
this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of
such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the
time of such surrender.
(d)
Issuance
of New Notes
. Whenever the Company is required to issue a
new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i)
shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as
indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining
outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to
Section 12(a) or Section 12(c), the Principal designated by the
Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other
new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed
the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately
prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance
date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same
as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights
and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and
unpaid Interest on the Principal of this Note, from the Issuance
Date.
13.
REMEDIES,
CHARACTERIZATIONS, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF
. The remedies provided in this Note shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under
this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other
injunctive relief),
and nothing
herein shall limit the
Holder’s right to pursue
incidental or consequential damages for any failure by the Company
to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the
Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this
instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set
forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion
and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to
be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly
provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, be subject
to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance
thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and
that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or
threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such
breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required. The Company shall provide all information and
documentation to the Holder that is reasonably requested by the
Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note (including,
without limitation, compliance with Section 5).
14.
PAYMENT
OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS
. If (a) this Note
is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement
of the debt evidenced hereby or is collected or enforced through
any legal proceeding or the Holder otherwise takes action to
collect amounts due under this Note or to enforce the provisions of
this Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company
creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then
the Company shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred
by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action or in
connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or
other proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
15.
CONSTRUCTION;
HEADINGS
. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by
the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any
Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Note are for
convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the
interpretation of, this Note. Terms used in this Note but defined
in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed
to such terms in such other Transaction Documents.
16.
FAILURE
OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER
. No failure or delay on the part of
the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or
privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and
signed by an authorized representative of the waiving
party.
17.
DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
. If at any time before conversion of this Note,
the Holder and the Company are unable to agree as to the arithmetic
calculation of the Conversion Price the Holder and the Company will
confer in good faith to resolve such disagreement and the Company
shall promptly issue upon conversion of this Note at the number of
shares of Common Stock that are uncontested. Thereafter, the
Company and Holder will confer in good faith to attempt to reach
agreement regarding the Conversion Price with the Required Note
Holders; if the Required Note Holders and the Company agree in
writing upon a Conversion Price, that agreement will be binding on
Holder and all holders of the Other Notes.
18.

the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting
in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication
of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or

proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any
provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be
deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of
law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable
under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Note. Nothing contained herein shall be

taking other legal action against the Company in any other
jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the
Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such
obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in
favor of the Holder.

Cashless Exercise to the extent permitted in Section 2(a)(iii)(2)
below.
(2)
The
Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise all or any part of the
Warrant in a “cashless” or “net-issue”
exercise (a “
Cashless
Exercise
”) by delivering to the
Company (1) the Notice of Exercise and (2) the original Warrant,
pursuant to which the Holder shall surrender the right to receive
upon exercise of this Warrant, a number of Warrant Shares having a
value (as determined below) equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price,
in which case, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the
Holder upon such exercise shall be calculated using the following
formula:
X =
Y * (A -
B)
A
with:
X
=
the
number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder
Y =
the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being
exercised
A =
the
fair value per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of
this Warrant
B
=
the
then-current Exercise Price of the Warrant
Solely for the purposes of this paragraph,
“
fair
value
” per share of
Common Stock shall mean the average Closing Price (as defined
below) per share of Common Stock for the twenty (20) Trading Days
immediately preceding the date on which the Notice of Exercise is
deemed to have been sent to the Company. “
Closing
Price
” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses
that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or
quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other national
securities exchange, the closing price per share of the Common
Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the primary
eligible market or exchange on which the Common Stock is then
listed or quoted; (b) if prices for the Common Stock are then
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or any tier of the OTC Markets,
the closing bid price per share of the Common Stock for such date
(or the nearest preceding date) so quoted; or (c) if prices for the
Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets”
published by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated (or a
similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of
reporting prices), the most recent closing bid price per share of
the Common Stock so reported. If the Common Stock is not publicly
traded as set forth above, the “fair value” per share
of Common Stock shall be reasonably and in good faith determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date which the
Notice of Exercise is deemed to have been sent to the
Company.
For
purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is
intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares
issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have
been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for such shares
shall be deemed to have commenced, on the Effective Date of this
Warrant.
(b)
Partial
Exercise
.
If
this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon
surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver, within 10 days of
the date of exercise, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the
Holder, or such other person as shall be designated in the Notice
of Exercise, to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares
purchasable hereunder. If the Holder exercises this Warrant or
attempts to exercise this Warrant before the Company shall have
delivered to the Holder a new Warrant as contemplated above, then
the Holder shall be deemed to have validly exercised this Warrant
pursuant to this
Section 2
without having
complied with the requirements of
Section 2(a)(ii)
.
In no event shall this Warrant be exercised for a fractional
Warrant Share, and the Company shall not distribute a Warrant
exercisable for a fractional Warrant Share. Fractional Warrant
Shares shall be treated as provided in
Section 7
hereof.
(c)
Effect
of Exercise
.
Upon the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, shares of Common Stock shall be issued
for the Warrant Shares so purchased, and shall be registered in the
name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the
Holder so designates, on or before the third (3
rd
) business
day after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so
exercised and shall be issued in certificate form and delivered to
the Holder, if so requested. The person in whose name any Warrant
Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the
date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the
Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of issuance of
the shares of Common Stock, except that, if the date of such
surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of
the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become
the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next
succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are
open.
(d)
Holder’s
Exercise Limitations
. The Company shall not effect any
exercise of this Warrant, and Holder shall not have the right to
exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or
otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance
after exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s
Affiliates (as defined below), and any other persons acting as a
group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s
Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the
foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but
shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be
issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion
of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or
nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other common stock equivalents)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any
of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, for purposes of this Section 1(B), beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent
that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable
shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission
of a notice of exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s
determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation
to other securities owned by the Holder together with any
Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in
each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the
Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy
of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group
status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock,
Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or
annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (B) a more
recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent
written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent
setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the
conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this
Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which
such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The
“Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the
number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61
days’ prior notice to the Company, may decrease the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d).
Any such decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after
such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to
correct this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with
the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to
make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give
effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this
paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
“Affiliate” means any person that, directly or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is
controlled by or is under common control with a person as such
terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities
Act.
3.
COVENANTS OF
THE COMPANY
.
(a)
Covenants
as to Warrant Shares
. If at any time the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Company Stock shall not be
sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will
take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel,
be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of
Company Stock (or other securities as provided herein) to such
number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes.
(b)
No
Impairment
.
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder or
otherwise in accordance with
Section 2
hereof, the Company
will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as such
may be amended from time to time), or through any means, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to
be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all
times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the
provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise
rights of the Holder against impairment.
(c)
Notices
of Record Date
. In the event of any taking by
the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities
for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the
same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other
distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten
(10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice
specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend or distribution.
4.
REPRESENTATIONS
OF HOLDER
.
(a)
Acquisition
of Warrant for Personal Account
. The Holder represents and
warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Warrant Shares
solely for its account for investment and not with a present view
toward the public distribution of said Warrant or Warrant Shares or
any part thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing
said Warrant or Warrant Shares or any arrangement or understanding
with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of said
Warrant, except as would not result in a violation of the
Securities Act. The Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer,
sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any
offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of)
the Warrant except in accordance with the Securities Act and will
not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or
otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or
otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant Shares except in
accordance with the provisions of the Securities
Act.
(b)
Securities
Are Not Registered
.
(i)
The
Holder understands that the offer and sale of the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act on
the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of
the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis
for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its
representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring
the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future,
selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The
Holder has no such present intention.
(ii)
The
Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares may have
to be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. Except as provided in a separate registration rights
agreement between the Holder and the Company, the Holder recognizes
that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the
Warrant Shares, or to comply with any exemption from such
registration.
(iii)
The
Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Warrant Shares may
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act
unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things,
the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability
of certain current public information about the Company, the resale
following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number
of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding
specified limitations. Holder is aware that any such sale made in
reliance on Rule 144, if Rule 144 is available, may be made only in
accordance with the terms of Rule 144.
(c)
Disposition
of Warrant and Warrant Shares
. The Holder understands and
agrees that all certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares to be
issued to the Holder may bear a legend in substantially the
following form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933 OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE
SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A
REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES
UNDER SUCH ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A OF SUCH
ACT.
5.
CHANGES IN
OUTSTANDING SHARES.
In the event of changes in the
outstanding Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups,
recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of
shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like,
the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the
aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted
to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same
aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of
shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been
exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold
such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of
this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the
number, class, and kind of shares subject to this Warrant. The
Company shall promptly provide a certificate from an authorized
officer notifying the Holder in writing of any adjustment in the
Exercise Price and/or the total number, class, and kind of shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, which certificate shall
specify the Exercise Price and number, class and kind of shares
under this Warrant after giving effect to such
adjustment.
6.
SALE OF THE
COMPANY
. In the event of a Sale
of the Company, then the Company shall ensure that lawful and
adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall
thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis
and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of
the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise
of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets
(including cash) as would have been issuable or payable with
respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to
the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant, had such Sale of the Company not taken
place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made
with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end
that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation,
provision for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation
to any share of stock, securities or assets (including cash)
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall
not affect any Sale of the Company unless prior to or
simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor entity
(if other than the Company) resulting from such Sale of the
Company, or the entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring such
assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the
obligation to deliver to the Holder, at the last address of the
Holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock,
securities or assets (including cash) as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase, and
the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of
this
Section 6
shall similarly apply to successive
Sales of the Company.
7.
FRACTIONAL
SHARES, ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.
No fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any
adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including
fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated
for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in
the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the
exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the
Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the
Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to
the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market
value of a Warrant Share by such fraction. No adjustment in the
Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least $0.0001; provided,
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
Section
7
are not
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account
in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this
Section
7
shall be
made to the $0.0001 or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the
case may be.
8.
NO STOCKHOLDER
RIGHTS.
This
Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting
rights or, except as otherwise set forth herein, other rights as a
stockholder of the Company.
9.
RESERVATION OF SHARES.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued shares Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of the Note, no less than 100%
of the maximum number of shares issuable on conversion of the
Warrant.
10.
TRANSFER OF
WARRANT.
Subject to applicable laws and
compliance with
Section 4(c)
hereof, this Warrant
and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person
or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and
the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated
by Holder.
11.
LOST, STOLEN,
MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.
If this Warrant is lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to
indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in
the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof),
issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant
so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall
constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed
Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone.
12.
MODIFICATIONS
AND WAIVER.
Provisions of this Warrant may be amended,
modified, or a provision or requirement hereof waived only (a) with
the written consent of the Company and the Holder or, (b) if this
Warrant and each other Warrant issued pursuant to the Agreement
then outstanding (collectively with this Warrant, the
“
Warrants
”)
is similarly amended, modified or waived, with the written consent
of the Company and the holders of a majority of the total number of
such outstanding Warrants (determined by reference to the number of
Warrant Shares acquirable upon the exercise thereof). If this
Warrant (along with the Other Warrants then outstanding) is amended
pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 12, such amendment shall be
binding on the Holder and each holder of each other Warrant whether
or not the Holder or such holder of such other Warrant consents
thereto.
13.
NOTICES,
ETC.
All
notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be deemed effectively given as specified in the Placement
Agent Agreement.
14.
ACCEPTANCE.
Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall
constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and
conditions contained herein.
15.
GOVERNING
LAW.
This
Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all
questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws
of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of
law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of
New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in
The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of
any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any
provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be
deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of
law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable
under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Warrant. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or
taking other legal action against the Company in any other
jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the
Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such
obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in
favor of the Holder. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST,
A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
16.
DESCRIPTIVE
HEADINGS.
The
descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Warrant are
inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this
Warrant. The language in this Warrant shall be construed as to its
fair meaning without regard to which party drafted this
Warrant.
17.
SEVERABILITY.
The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any
jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other
provision of this Warrant, which shall remain in full force and
effect.
18.
ENTIRE
AGREEMENT.
This Warrant, the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement between the
Holder and the Company dated June 28, 2018 constitute the entire
agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter
contained in it and supersede all prior and contemporaneous
agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties,
whether oral or written, with respect to such subject
matter.

BUYERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each
Buyer represents and warrants to the Company, that:
5.1
Investment Purpose
. Each Buyer
is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only
and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the
public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales
registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however,
that by making the representations herein, each Buyer reserves the
right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with
or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such
Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. The
Buyer acknowledges that a legend will be placed on the certificates
representing the Securities in the following form:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE
“RESTRICTED SECURITIES” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN RULE
144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED
FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION THEREUNDER, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE
ESTABLISHED TO THE REASONABLE SATISFACTION OF COUNSEL TO THE
ISSUER.
5.2
Accredited Investor Status
.
Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is
defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as promulgated under the
Securities Act.
5.3
Reliance on Exemptions
. Each
Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to
it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of,
and each Buyer’s compliance with, the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of each
Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of
such exemptions and the eligibility of each Buyer to acquire the
Securities.
5.4
Information
. Each Buyer and its
advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating
to the business, finances and operations of the Company and other
information each Buyer deemed material to making an informed
investment decision regarding its purchase of the Notes and
Warrants, which have been requested by such Buyer. Each Buyer
acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of the SEC
Documents. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded
the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management.
Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in a position
regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family
relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such
Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate
the merits and risks of this investment. Each Buyer has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to
make an informed investment decision with respect to its
acquisition of the Securities. Without limiting the foregoing, each
Buyer has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the
Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands
that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a
high degree of risk of loss of the Buyer’s entire investment.
Among other things, each Buyer has carefully considered each of the
risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the
Form 10-K (as defined below), as updated in the Company’s

5.5
Minimum Offering
. Each Buyer
understands that the Company may accept such Buyer’s purchase
hereunder, at any time once the Company shall have received an
aggregate Purchase Price in the amount of $800,000. Any officer or
director of the Company or the Placement Agent, or any of such
parties affiliates, may participate in this offering and their
investment, if any, will count towards the foregoing minimum
amount. As such, Buyer understands that the Company may not receive
proceeds hereunder in any amount greater than $800,000, which may
limit the Company’s ability to execute upon its intended
business plan.
5.6
No Governmental Review
. Each
Buyer understands that no United States federal or state
Governmental Authority has passed on or made any recommendation or
endorsement of the Securities, or the fairness or suitability of
the investment in the Securities, nor have such Governmental
Authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of
the Securities.
5.7
Authorization, Enforcement
.
This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and
delivered on behalf of each Buyer and is a valid and binding
agreement of each Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms,

of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies.

General Solicitation
. No Buyer
is purchasing any Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper,

relationship with the Placement Agent or the Company preceding the

fails for any reason (except to the extent that such refusal or
failure is based solely on applicable Law, including SEC
interpretive guidance, that would prevent the removal of such
restrictive legends) to render an opinion of counsel or any other
documents or certificates required for the removal of the
restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and
acknowledges that such Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly
authorized to have counsel to such Buyer render any and all
opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be

10.1
Company’s
Obligation to Indemnify
. In consideration of the
Buyers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in
addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this
Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to defend and indemnify each
Buyer and each Buyer’s Affiliates and subsidiaries, and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them
(collectively, the “
Buyer
Indemnified Parties
”) and the Company hereby agrees to
hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless, from and against any
and all Claims made, brought or asserted against the Buyer
Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and the Company hereby
agrees to pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any
and all Claims payable by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to
any Person, including reasonable attorneys’ and
paralegals’ fees and expenses, court costs, settlement
amounts, costs of investigation and interest thereon from the time
such amounts are due at the highest non-usurious rate of interest
permitted by applicable Law, through all negotiations, mediations,
arbitrations, trial and appellate levels, as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to: (i) any misrepresentation or breach
of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any
Operating Subs in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any
other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or
thereby; (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or Obligation

liable to any Buyer under this indemnity: (i) for any settlement by

ARTICLE

MATTERS RELATING TO THE BUYERS
11.1
Independent
Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights
. The
obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any one or
more of the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to
purchase the Notes and the Warrants pursuant to the Transaction
Documents has been made by each such Buyer independently of any
other Buyer and independently of any information, materials,
statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its
subsidiaries, if any, which may have been made or given by any
other Buyer or any of their respective officers, directors,
principals, employees, agents, counsel or representatives
(collectively, including the Buyer in question, the
“
Buyer
Representatives
”). No Buyer Representative shall have
any liability to any other Buyer or the Company relating to or
arising from any such information, materials, statements or
opinions, if any. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has
acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with making its
investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of
such other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in
the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction
Documents. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights
arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be
joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
The Company and each of the Buyers acknowledge that, for reasons of
administrative convenience the Company has elected to provide each
of the Buyers with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose
of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because it
was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. In furtherance of
the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company and the
Buyers acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement or in
any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more Buyers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
11.2
Equal
Treatment of Buyers
. No consideration shall be offered or
paid to any Buyer to amend or consent to a waiver or modification
of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents, unless the
same consideration is also offered to all of the other Buyers
parties to the Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE
XII
TERMINATION
12.1
Termination
.
This Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing (i) by written
agreement of the Buyers and the Company, or (ii) by either the
Company or a Buyer (as to itself but no other Buyer) upon written
notice to the other, if the Closing shall not have taken place by
June 28, 2018 (the “
Termination Date
”), provided that
(x) the Termination Date may be extended until July 31, 2018 upon
the mutual consent of the Placement Agent and the Company and (y)
in the event that there shall have occurred any material adverse
change in the financial markets of the United States, any outbreak
or escalation of hostilities or other national or international
calamity or crisis the effect of which is such to make it, in the
judgment of the Placement Agent, impracticable to market the
securities offered hereby or enforce contracts for the sale of
those securities, the Termination Date may be unilaterally extended
by the Placement Agent for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days
from the later of June 28, 2018 or such later date as may have been
previously extended by the Placement Agent and the Company pursuant
to clause (x) above (the “
Outside Closing
Date
”).
12.2
Consequences
of Termination
. No termination of this Agreement shall
release any party from any liability for breach by such party of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents.

effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section
3(c) to the Holders prior to its filing or other submission. If a
Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not
filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company
will make pro rata payments to each Holder, as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate
amount invested by the Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof
following the Filing Deadline for which no Registration Statement
is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments
shall constitute the Holders’ exclusive monetary remedy for
such events, but shall not affect the right of the Holders to seek
injunctive relief. Such payments shall be made to each Holder in
cash no later than three (3) Business Days after the end of each
30-day period.
(b)
Expenses
.
The Company will pay all expenses associated with effecting the
registration of the Registrable Securities, including filing and
printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and
expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities
for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees and
the Holders’ other reasonable expenses in connection with the
registration, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of
underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar
securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable
Securities being sold and excluding the fees and disbursements of
counsel to any Holder.
(c)
Effectiveness
.
(i)
The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have any
Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable.
The Company shall notify the Holders by facsimile or e-mail as
promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24)
hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and
shall simultaneously provide the Holders with copies of any related
Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other
disposition of the securities covered thereby.
(ii)
For
not more than forty (40) consecutive days or for a total of not
more than sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period, the
Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any
Registration Statement contemplated by this Section in the event
that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is
necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public
information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the
time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best
interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected
Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such
Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an
“Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall
promptly (a) notify each Holder in writing of the commencement of
an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent
of an Holder) disclose to such Holder any material non-public
information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Holders
in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement
until the end of the Allowed Delay, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as
practicable.
(d)
Rule
415; Cutback
If at any time the
SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the
Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible
to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of
Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires any Holder to be named as
an “underwriter”, the Company shall use its commercial
best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by
a Registration Statement is a bona fide secondary offering and not
an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined
in Rule 415 and that none of the Holders is an
“underwriter”. In the event that, despite the
Company’s commercial best efforts and compliance with the
terms of this Section 2(d), the SEC refuses to alter its position,
the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such
portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back
Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and
limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable
Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s
compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the
“SEC Restrictions”). Any cut-back imposed pursuant to
this Section 2(d) shall be allocated among the Holders on a pro
rata basis, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or
provide or the Holders otherwise agree. Any cut-back imposed
pursuant to a SEC comment shall be applied,
first
,
to securities of the Company that are registered pursuant to an
agreement subsequent to the date of this Agreement and,
second
,
to the Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis taken together.
No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until
such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such
Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date,
the “Restriction Termination Date” of such Cut Back
Shares). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable
to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 2
(including the liquidated damages provisions) shall again be
applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the
Filing Deadline for the Registration Statement including such Cut
Back Shares shall be ten (10) Business Days after such Restriction
Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is
required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back
Shares under Section 2(c) shall be the 60
th
day immediately after the Restriction
Termination Date.
(e)
Right
to Piggyback Registration
.
(i)
If
at any time following the date of this Agreement that any
Registrable Securities remain outstanding and are not freely
tradable under Rule 144 (A) there is not one or more effective
Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities
and (B) the Company proposes for any reason to register any shares
of Common Stock under the 1933 Act (other than pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or
successor form) or a shelf registration statement on Form S-3) with
respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its own
account or for the account of any of its stockholders, it shall at
each such time promptly give written notice to the holders of the
Registrable Securities of its intention to do so (but in no event
less than thirty (30) days before the anticipated filing date) and,
to the extent permitted under the provisions of Rule 415 under the
1933 Act, include in such registration all Registrable Securities
with respect to which the Company has received written requests for
inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
Company’s notice (a “Piggyback
Registration”).
(ii)
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (A) if such registration involves an underwritten
public offering, the Holders must sell their Registrable Securities
to, if applicable, the underwriter(s) at the same price and subject
to the same underwriting discounts and commissions that apply to
the other securities sold in such offering (it being acknowledged
that the Company shall be responsible for other expenses as set
forth in Section 2(b)) and subject to the Holders entering into
customary underwriting documentation for selling stockholders in an
underwritten public offering, and (B) if, at any time after giving
written notice of its intention to register any Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) and prior to the effective
date of the registration statement filed in connection with such
registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to
cause such registration statement to become effective under the
1933 Act, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holders
and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any
Registrable Securities in connection with such registration;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2(e)(ii)
shall limit the Company’s liabilities and/or obligations
under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation
to pay liquidated damages under this Section 2.
3.
Company
Obligations
. The Company will
use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of
the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and
pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible:
(a)
use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective
for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date
on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, or (ii) the
date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to
Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise a
Holder in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired as to
their respective Registrable Securities;
(b)
prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments
to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be
necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the
Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the 1933
Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the
Registrable Securities covered thereby;
(c)
provide
copies to the Holders to review each Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than seven (7) days
prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to
which the Holder reasonably objects;
(d)
use
commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any
stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such
order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the
earliest possible moment;
(e)
prior to any public offering of Registrable
Securities, if the Common Stock is not traded on a national
securities exchange (as defined by the SEC) use commercially
reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the
Holders in connection with the registration or qualification of
such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities
or blue sky laws of such U.S. jurisdictions requested by the
Holders and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or
things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such
U.S. jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement
;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i)
qualify to do business in any U.S. jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii)
subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it
would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or
(iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction;
(f)
use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities
exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then
listed;
(g)
immediately
notify the Holders, at any time prior to the end of the
Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of
any event as a result of which, the Prospectus includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing,
and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder
a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be
necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing;
(h)
otherwise
use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934
Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the 1933 Act,
file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment
thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act,
promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the
Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions
specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are
required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition
of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be
reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the
Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later
than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings
statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months,
beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement,
which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
11(a) of the 1933 Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder
(for the purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability
Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth
fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such
Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter
is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year,
“Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of
such fourth fiscal quarter); and
(i)
With
a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144
(or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC
that may at any time permit the Holders to sell shares of Common
Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and
agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until such date as
all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold pursuant
to a Registration Statement, Rule 144 or otherwise in a transaction
in which the transferee receives freely tradable shares; (ii) file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to
each Holder upon request, as long as such Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act,
(B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other
information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the
Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the
selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration. In
the event that the Company fails to comply with the requirements of
this Section 3(i) after the 90th day after the Closing Date, the
Company will make pro rata payments to each Holder, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the
aggregate amount invested by the Holder pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion
thereof until such failure is cured; provided, however, that such
liquidated damages shall be payable only to a Holder only to the
extent the Holder continues to hold Registrable Securities prior to
such failure. Such payments shall constitute the Holders’
exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the
right of the Holders to seek injunctive relief. Such payments shall
be made to each Holder in cash no later than three (3) Business
Days after the end of each 30-day period.
4.
Obligations of the
Holders
.
(a)
Each
Holder shall furnish in writing to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held
by it if substantially different from
Exhibit
A
, as shall be reasonably
required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities
and shall execute such documents in connection with such
registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five
(5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any
Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Holder of the
information the Company requires from the Holder if it elects to
have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement. A Holder shall provide the information to the Company at
least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing
date of such Registration Statement if the Holder elects to have
any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement. In the event that a Holder does not provide such
information on a timely basis, the Company shall provide prompt
written notice to the Holder that the Registrable Securities
attributable to that Holder will be excluded from the Registration
Statement unless the Holder provides the required information
within one (1) Business Day after its receipt of such notice. If
the Holder does not provide the required information to the Company
by the end of the next Business Day after its receipt of such
notice, the Company shall have the right to exclude the Registrable
Securities attributable to that Holder from the Registration
Statement and the Holder shall not be entitled to receive any
liquidated damages pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
with respect to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Holder that elects
not to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement, shall not be entitled to receive any
liquidated damages pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement
with respect to such Registration Statement.
(b)
Each
Holder, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company
in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration
Statement hereunder, unless the Holder has notified the Company in
writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable
Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c)
Each
Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of
either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section
2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h)
hereof, the Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
covering such Registrable Securities, until the Holder is advised
by the Company that such dispositions may again be
made.
(a)
Indemnification
by the Company
. The Company
will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, including without
limitation NSC and its respective officers, directors, members,
managers, partners, trustees, employees and agents and other
representatives, successors and assigns, and each other person, if
any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the 1933 Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission of any material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, any Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof;
(ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the
Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written
information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other
jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable
Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application,
document or information herein called a “Blue Sky
Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to
state in a Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any
rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the
Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required
of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any
failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included
in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company
or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing
that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification
on a Holder’s behalf and will reimburse such Holder, and each
such officer, director, shareholder or member and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided
,
however
,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of
or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information
furnished by the Holder or any such controlling person in writing
specifically for use in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus.
(b)
Indemnification
by the Holders
. Each Holder
agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors,
officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the
Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable
attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material
fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in
the Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or
omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by
the Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto. In no event shall the liability of a Holder be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses
paid by the Holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5 and the amount of any damages the Holder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or
omission) received by the Holder upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to
such indemnification obligation.
(c)
Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings
.
Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give
prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying
party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party;
provided
that any person entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such
fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed
to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of
any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a
conflict of interest exists between such person and the
indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if
the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such
person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right
to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person);
and
provided
,
further
,
that the 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 such failure to
give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying
party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is
understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time
for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will,
except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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 of such claim or litigation. The indemnifying party
shall not be liable hereunder for any settlements entered into by
an indemnified party without the indemnifying party’s prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
(d)
Contribution
.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding
paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or
insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified
therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be
entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution
obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses
paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the
sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution
obligation.
(a)
Amendments
and Waivers
. Any term of this
Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this
Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Required
Holders.
(b)
Notices
.
All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made as set forth in Section13.1 of the Purchase
Agreement.

Liquidated Damages

amount of liquidated damages due to a Holder will be 20% of the
aggregate amount invested by the Holder pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.
(d)
Assignments
and Transfers by Holders
. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Holders and their respective successors and assigns.
A Holder may transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in
part, to one or more persons its rights hereunder in connection
with the transfer of Registrable Securities by the Holder to such
person, provided that the Holder complies with all laws applicable
thereto and provides written notice of assignment to the Company
promptly after such assignment is effected.
(e)
Assignments
and Transfers by the Company
.
This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company (whether by
operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of
the Required Holders;
provided,
however
, that in the event that
the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, share exchange
or similar business combination transaction in which the Common
Stock is converted into the equity securities of another Person,
from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person
shall, by virtue of such transaction, be deemed to have assumed the
obligations of the Company hereunder, the term
“Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and
the term “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to
include the securities received by the Holders in connection with
such transaction unless such securities are otherwise freely
tradable by the Holders after giving effect to such
transaction.
(f)
Benefits
of the Agreement
. The terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the
parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended
to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their
respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(g)
Counterparts;
Faxes
. This Agreement may be
executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the
same instrument. This Agreement may be delivered via facsimile or
other form of electronic communication, which shall be deemed an
original.
(h)
Titles
and Subtitles
. The titles and
subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and
are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Agreement.
(i)
Severability
.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be
interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any
provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any
respect.
(j)
Further
Assurances
. The parties shall
execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and
take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry
out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the
fulfillment of the agreements herein contained.
(k)
Entire
Agreement
. This Agreement is
intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement
and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the
subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.
(l)
Governing
Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury
Trial
. This Agreement shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions
concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice
of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in
The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of
any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby
irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of
such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law. In the event that any
provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be
deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of
law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable
under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing
suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other
jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the
Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such
obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in
favor of the Holder. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST,
A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement or caused
their duly authorized officers to execute this Agreement as of the
date first above written.

connection with any Collateral of the Grantor or New
Subsidiary;
(b)
to receive and open
all mail addressed to the Grantor or New Subsidiary and to notify
postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail
to the Grantor or New Subsidiary to that of such Secured Party
(provided such Secured Party shall promptly provide a copy of all
such mail to the Grantor);
(c)
to receive,
indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents,

(d)

Collateral; and
(e)
to use any labels,

or Negotiable Collateral of the Grantor or New
Subsidiary.
To the
extent permitted by law, the Grantor hereby ratifies, for itself
and each New Subsidiary, all that such attorney-in-fact shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Such
power-of-attorney granted pursuant to this Section 10 is coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is
terminated.
11.
Secured Parties May Perform
. If
the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
after advance written notice to the Grantor, any Secured Party may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Secured Party incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor.
12.
Secured Parties’ Duties; Bailee
for Perfection
. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties
hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’
respective interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any
duty upon any Secured Party in favor of the Grantor or any other
Secured Party to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe
custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder and except
as provided in the Code, no Secured Party shall have any duty to
the Grantor or any other Secured Party as to any Collateral or as
to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. A
Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual
possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which such Secured Party accords its own property.
Each Secured Party agrees that, with respect to any Collateral at
any time or times in its possession and in which any other Secured
Party has a Lien, the Secured Party in possession of any such
Collateral shall be the bailee of each other Secured Party solely
for purposes of perfecting (to the extent not otherwise perfected)
each other Secured Party’s Lien in such Collateral, provided
that no Secured Party shall be obligated to obtain or retain
possession of any such Collateral. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Secured Parties and the Grantor hereby agree
that any Secured Party that is in possession of any Collateral at
such time as the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party
have been paid in full may re-deliver such Collateral to the
Grantor or, if requested by any Secured Party prior to such
re-delivery, may deliver such Collateral (unless otherwise
restricted by applicable law or court order and subject in all
events to the receipt of an indemnification of all liabilities
arising from such delivery) to the requesting Secured Party,
without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Secured
Party in such possession.
13.
Collection of Accounts, General
Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral
. At any time upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any
Secured Party may, following delivery of advance written notice to
the Grantor, (a) notify Account Debtors of the Grantor that the
Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable
Collateral have been assigned to such Secured Party or that such
Secured Party has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the
Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral directly,
and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of the
Secured Obligations.

Reserved
.
16.
Remedies
. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a)
Any Secured Party
may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Transaction
Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other
applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, any Secured
Party without any demand, advertisement, or notice of any kind
(except a notice specified below of time and place of public or
private sale) to or upon the Grantor or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or by
any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or
any portion of the Collateral and (i) require the Grantor to, and
the Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon
request of such Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of
the Collateral as directed by such Secured Party and make it
available to such Secured Party at one or more locations of the
Grantor, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell
the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any of such Secured Party’s offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as such
Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees
that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least 10 days’ notice of the time and place of any public
sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice
shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of
disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code.
No Secured Party shall be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. Any Secured Party
may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which
it was so adjourned.
(b)
Any cash held by
any Secured Party as Collateral and all proceeds received by any
Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied
against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section
17 hereof. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient
for the Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations (as defined
below), the Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for
any such deficiency.
(c)
The Grantor hereby
acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arose out of a commercial
transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing any Secured Party shall have the right to an
immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Each
Secured Party shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver
for the properties and assets of the Grantor, and the Grantor
hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby
waives any objection it may have thereto or the right to have a
bond or other security posted by any Secured Party.
(d)
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Secured Party
agrees that it will not exercise any remedy provided for under this
Agreement with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral
unless such Secured Party is a Permitted Secured Party (provided
that the foregoing shall not prevent any Secured Party from
commencing or participating in any Insolvency Proceeding or taking
any action (other than with respect to the Collateral) to enforce
the payment or performance of the Grantor’s obligations under
any of the Notes or other Transaction Documents). This Section
16(d) is not intended to confer any rights or benefits upon the
Grantor or any other Person except Secured Parties, and no Person
(including the Grantor) other than the Secured Parties shall have
any right to enforce any of the provisions of this Section
16(d). As between the Grantor and any Secured Party, any action
that such Secured Party may take under this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been authorized and approved by the
other Secured Parties.
(e)
Each Secured Party
may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein,
in the other Transaction Documents, or otherwise available to it
under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or
upon the Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any
other applicable law).
17.
Priority of Liens; Application of
Proceeds of Collateral.
Each Secured Party hereby
acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the time or order of
the filing of any financing statement or other registration or
document with respect to the Collateral and the Security Interests,
or any provision of this Agreement, any other Security Document,
the Code or other applicable law, solely as amongst the Secured
Parties, the separate Security Interests of the Secured Parties
shall have the same rank and priority; provided, that, the
foregoing shall not apply to any Security Interest of a Secured
Party that is void or voidable as a matter of law. In furtherance
thereof, all proceeds of Collateral received by any Secured Party
shall be applied as follows:
(a)
first
,
ratably to pay any expenses due to any of the Secured Parties
(including, without limitation, the reasonable costs and
out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by any Secured Party to
correct any default under or enforce any provision of the
Transaction Documents, or after the occurrence of any Event of
Default in gaining possession of, maintaining, handling,
preserving, storing, shipping, selling, preparing for sale, or
advertising to sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof,
irrespective of whether a sale is consummated) or indemnities then
due to any of the Secured Parties under the Transaction Documents,
until paid in full;
(b)
second
,
ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Secured
Parties under the Transaction Documents, until paid in
full;
(c)
third
,
ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Secured Obligations
then due to any of the Secured Parties, until paid in
full;
(d)
fourth
,
ratably to pay the principal amount of all Secured Obligations then
due to any of the Secured Parties, until paid in full;
(e)
fifth
,
ratably to pay any other Secured Obligations then due to any of the
Secured Parties; and
(f)
sixth
,
to Grantor or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable
law.
18.
Remedies Cumulative
. Each
right, power, and remedy of any Secured Party as provided for in
this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to
every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement
or in the other Transaction Documents or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or
beginning of the exercise by any Secured Party, of any one or more
of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the
simultaneous or later exercise by such Secured Party of any or all
such other rights, powers, or remedies. The Grantor acknowledges
that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to each Secured Party and that the remedy at law
for any such breach may be inadequate. The Grantor therefore agrees
that, in the event of any breach or any threatened breach, each
Secured Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such
threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss
and without any bond or other security being required.
19.
Marshaling
. No Secured Party
shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or
other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of
them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances
of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and
remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and
other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to
all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the
extent that it lawfully may, the Grantor hereby agrees that it will
not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which
might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of any Secured
Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any
other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured
Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured
or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it
lawfully may, the Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of
all such laws.
20.
Acknowledgment.
(a) Each
Secured Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that no other Secured
Party has agreed to act for it as an administrative or collateral
agent, and each Secured Party is and shall remain solely
responsible for the attachment, perfection and priority of all
Liens created by this Agreement or any other Security Document in
favor of such Secured Party. No Secured Party shall have by reason
of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document an agency
or fiduciary relationship with any other Secured Party. No Secured
Party (which term, as used in this sentence, shall include
reference to each Secured Party’s officers, directors,
employees, attorneys, agents and affiliates and to the officers,
directors, employees, attorneys and agents of such Secured
Party’s affiliates) shall: (i) have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement
and the other Security Documents or (ii) be required to take,
initiate or conduct any enforcement action (including any
litigation, foreclosure or collection proceedings hereunder or
under any of the other Security Documents). Without limiting the
foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right of action
whatsoever against any other Secured Party as a result of such
Secured Party acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under
any of the Security Documents except as a result and to the extent
of losses caused by such Secured Party’s actual gross
negligence or willful misconduct (it being understood and
agreed by each Secured Party that the delivery by any Significant
Secured Party of one or more Veto Notices shall not be deemed to be
or construed as gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of the Secured Party delivering any such Veto Notice). No Secured
Party assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in
performance or breach by the Grantor or any other Secured Party of
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document. No Secured Party makes to any other Secured Party
any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with
respect to any Secured Obligations, Collateral, Transaction
Document or the Grantor. No Secured Party nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible to
any other Secured Party or any of its officers, directors,
employees, attorneys or agents for: (i) any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties contained in
any of the Transaction Documents or in any certificate or other
document furnished pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the
execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability
of any of the Transaction Documents; (iii) the validity,
genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency or
existence of any Collateral, or the attachment, perfection or
priority of any Lien therein; or (iv) the assets, liabilities,
financial condition, results of operations, business,
creditworthiness or legal status of the Grantor or any Account
Debtor. No Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, attorneys or agents shall have any obligation to any
other Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of
any default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by
the Grantor of any of its duties or agreements under any of
the Transaction Documents or the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent contained in any of the Transaction
Documents.
(b) Each
Secured Party hereby acknowledges and represents that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party,
and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Grantor and
its own decision to enter into the Transaction Documents and to
purchase the Notes, and each Secured Party has made such
inquiries concerning the Transaction Documents, the Collateral and
the Grantor as such Secured Party feels necessary and appropriate,
and has taken such care on its own behalf as would have been the
case had it entered into the Transaction Documents without any
other Secured Party. Each Secured Party hereby further acknowledges
and represents that the other Secured Parties have not made any
representations or warranties to it concerning the Grantor, any of
the Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or
enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents. Each Secured
Party also hereby acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the other Secured Parties, and based upon
such financial statements, documents and information as it deems
appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own
credit decisions in taking or refraining to take any other
action under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. No
Secured Party shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any
other Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates
furnished to such Secured Party by the Grantor or any credit or
other information concerning the affairs, financial condition,
business or assets of the Grantor (or any of its affiliates) which
may come into possession of such Secured Party.
21.
Indemnity and
Expenses
.
(a)
Without limiting
any obligations of the Grantor under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Grantor agrees to indemnify all Secured Parties from
and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including
reasonable external attorneys’ fees) arising out of or
resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this
Agreement) or any other Transaction Document, except claims, losses
or liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the Transaction Documents and the Satisfaction in Full of the
Secured Obligations.
(b)
The Grantor shall,
upon demand, pay to each Secured Party all of the reasonable costs
and out-of-pocket expenses which such Secured Party may incur in
connection with (i) the custody, preservation, use or operation of,
or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such Secured Party
hereunder or (iii) the failure by the Grantor to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof.

CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT
ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No provision of this Agreement may be amended
other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Grantor and
Secured Parties holding at least a majority of the aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any amendment
to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the
provisions of this Section 22 shall be binding on all Secured
Parties, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the
extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the Secured Parties
or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Secured Party
without such Secured Party’s prior written consent (which may
be granted or withheld in such Secured Party’s sole
discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing
and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party,
provided that all of the single Significant Secured Parties (in a
writing signed by all such Significant Secured Parties) may waive
any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of
this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this
Section 22 shall be binding on all Secured Parties, provided that
no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies
to less than all the Secured Parties (unless a party gives a waiver
as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on
any Secured Party without such Secured Party’s prior written
consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Secured
Party’s sole discretion).
23.
Addresses for Notices
. All
notices and other communications provided for hereunder (a) shall
be given in the form and manner set forth in the Securities
Purchase Agreement and (b) shall be delivered, (i) in the case of
notice to the Grantor, by delivery of such notice to the
Grantor’s address specified in the Securities Purchase
Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by the
Grantor in a written notice to each of the Secured Parties in
accordance with the provisions thereof, and (ii) in the case of
notice to any Secured Party, by delivery of such notice to such
Secured Party at its address specified in the Securities Purchase
Agreement or at such other address as shall be designated by such
Secured Party in a written notice to the Grantor and each other
Secured Party in accordance with the provisions
thereof.
24.
Separate, Continuing Security
Interests; Assignments under Transaction Documents.
This
Agreement shall create a separate, continuing security interest in
the Collateral in favor of each Secured Party and shall (a) remain
in full force and effect until Satisfaction in Full of the Secured
Obligations, (b) be binding upon the Grantor, and its permitted
successors and permitted assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of,
and be enforceable by, the Secured Parties and their respective
successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may, in
accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, assign
or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under the Transaction Documents to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or
otherwise. Upon Satisfaction in Full of the Secured Obligations,
the Security Interests granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantor or any other
Person entitled thereto. At such time, each Secured Party will (i)
authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to
terminate such Security Interests, (ii) return to the Grantor any
Collateral in its possession and (iii) execute and deliver such
other releases and terminations as may be reasonably requested by
the Grantor. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or
termination of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or
any other instrument or document executed and delivered by the
Grantor to any Secured Party nor any additional loans made by any
Secured Party to the Grantor, nor the taking of further security,
nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to the Grantor,
or any of them, by any Secured Party, nor any other act of the
Secured Parties, or any of them, shall release the Grantor from any
obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by
all Secured Parties. No Secured Party shall by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights
or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed
by such Secured Party and then only to the extent therein set
forth. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy on any
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any
such right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have
had on any other occasion.
25.
Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Jury Trial
. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice
of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State
of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in
an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper; provided, however, any suit seeking
enforcement against any Collateral or other property may be
brought, at any Secured Party’s option, in the courts of any
jurisdiction where such Secured Party elects to bring such action
or where such Collateral or other property may be found. 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 to such party at the address for such
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any
way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY
TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
