1.01 Entry
Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 7, 2008, Cytori
Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Olympus Corporation and a
Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Institutional
Investors” and together with Olympus Corporation, the “Purchasers”),
relating to the offering and sale of a total of 2,825,517
unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”)
with 50% warrant coverage at a purchase price of $6.00 per unit (the “Private
Placement”). The warrants will be exercisable for up to a
total of 1,412,758 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock at
an exercise price of $8.50 per share (the “Warrant
Shares”). The warrants will have a five year term and will not be
exercisable until six months after their date of issuance. Olympus is
expected to fund its purchase of the securities on or about August 8,
2008. The closing with respect to the other investors is expected to
take place on or about August 11, 2008, subject to the satisfaction of customary
closing conditions.
The Common Stock
Purchase Agreement with Olympus provides for the purchase and sale of $6,000,000
of unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $6.50 per
share. However, the agreement also provides for an adjustment to the
financial terms of the agreement in the event that the Company sells additional
securities to other investors on more favorable pricing terms. In
such event, Olympus’ purchase price per share would be reduced to that of the
other investors and, as applicable, Olympus would receive warrant coverage on
the same terms as such other investors. As a result of the pricing
and warrant coverage terms agreed upon under the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the Company will issue and sell 1,000,000 unregistered shares and warrants to
purchase up to 500,000 additional unregistered shares to Olympus in the Private
Placement. After the conclusion of the Private Placement, without
taking into account any shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, Olympus
will hold approximately 13.8% of the Company’s total outstanding
shares.
In
connection with the Private Placement, the Company also entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement dated August 7, 2008, with the Purchasers
(the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which it has agreed to file, within
30 days of the closing of the Private Placement, a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to
register the Shares and Warrant Shares for resale, which registration statement
is required to become effective within 90 days following the closing (or in
the event the SEC reviews and has written comments to the registration statement
or any document incorporated by reference therein, then within 120 days
following the closing). The Company will be required to pay certain cash as
liquidated damages if it does not meet its registration obligations under the
Registration Rights Agreement. In addition, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement
with Olympus provides certain demand registration rights to Olympus with respect
to the shares purchased by Olympus.
The
Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the form of
Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement are attached hereto as
Exhibits 10.32, 10.33, 10.34 and 10.35 respectively, and incorporated
herein by reference. The press release announcing the Private Placement is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The
foregoing description of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the form of Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the form of Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement attached
hereto.
Item
3.02 Unregistered
Sale of Equity Securities
The
information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K that
relates to the unregistered sale of equity securities is incorporated by
reference into this Item 3.02.
The
aggregate offering price of the units to be sold in the Private Placement is
approximately $17 million, of which an aggregate of approximately $600,000 will
be paid to the placement agent for its services in connection with the Private
Placement.
The sale
of the units has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities
Act”). These securities will be sold to accredited investors in reliance
upon exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. These securities
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under or
exemption from the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
laws.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE
AGREEMENT
This
Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made
as of August 1, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Cytori Therapeutics,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
Olympus Corporation, a Japan corporation with its principal executive office
located at 43-2 Hatagaya 2-chome, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan
(“Purchaser”)
(the Company and Purchaser are referred to collectively as the “Parties”).
1. Sale of
Stock. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to
Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, [923,077]
unregistered shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a
purchase price of US$[6.50] per Share for a total of US $6,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The
Purchase Price per share shall be subject to any adjustment that is more
favorable to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of Section 13 of this
Agreement.
2. Closing. The purchase and
sale of the Shares under Section 1 of this Agreement shall occur at the
principal office of the Company within seven (7) days of the Effective Date of
this Agreement (the “Closing”) at a date
and time agreed between the Parties. At the Closing, Purchaser shall
deliver the Purchase Price to the Company by wire transfer, or by alternate
means agreed between the Parties, and the Company shall deliver a certificate
representing the Shares to Purchaser.
3. Limitations
on Transfer. Purchaser shall
not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares except in
compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations of applicable
countries and stock exchanges. It is Purchaser’s responsibility to
familiarize itself with such laws and regulations.
4. Company’s
Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and
warrants the following to Purchaser as of the Effective Date and as of the date
of the Closing:
(a) The
Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its
business as it is now being conducted to own or use the properties and assets
that it purports to own or use. The Company is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each
state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the
properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it,
requires such qualification.
(b) The
Company has the right and power to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; has taken
or will take prior to the Closing all necessary corporate actions required for
the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; and
this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be
limited by general principles of equity whether applied in a court of law or a
court of equity and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights and remedies generally.
(c) The
execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not result in a breach of any of the terms or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Company’s certificate of
incorporation or bylaws, as now in effect, or any agreement, or other instrument
to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.
(d) The
sale and issuance of the Shares will not require any notice to, action of,
filing with or consent, authorization, order or approval from, any governmental
entity or other person that has not already been provided or obtained, as the
case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, no action is required to
be taken by the Company to effect the sale and issuance of the Shares under any
state corporate or any other laws, rules or regulations that has not already
been taken. The Company has not entered into any agreement to pay
commissions to any persons with respect to the purchase or sale of the Shares,
except commissions for which the Company will be responsible.
(e) The
authorized capital of the Company consists solely of 95,000,000 authorized
shares of common stock, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
(f) The
Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement for the Purchase Price, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable, issued in compliance with all applicable federal, state and
foreign laws, free of any preemptive or similar rights that entitle or would
entitle any person to acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company upon
issuance thereof by the Company, and free and clear of all liens, mortgages,
security interests, encumbrances (other than applicable securities laws
restrictions), equities or claims.
(g) The Company has timely
filed all registration statements, prospectuses, forms, reports and documents
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities
Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as
the case may be, since December 31, 2004 (each a “Company SEC Filing,”
and collectively the “Company SEC
Filings”). Each Company SEC Filing (i) as of its date complied
in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, as the case may be, and (ii) did not, at the time it was filed,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Each of the consolidated financial statements (including,
in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the Company SEC Filings was
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied
(except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and, in the case of unaudited
quarterly financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q under the Exchange
Act) on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be
indicated in the notes thereto), and each presented fairly the consolidated
financial position of the Company as of the respective date thereof and for the
respective periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal and recurring year-end adjustments.) The books
and records of the Company have been, and are being, maintained in accordance
with applicable legal and accounting requirements.
(h) Except
as disclosed in the Company SEC Filings, since December 31, 2007, the Company
has conducted its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past
practice, and there has not been:
(i) any
event, occurrence or development which would, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than developments generally in the
industries in which the Company operates its business, provided that such
developments have not disproportionately affected the Company or any of its
subsidiaries individually or taken as a whole; or
(ii) any
event or development that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to prevent or materially delay the performance of the Company of its
obligations hereunder.
5. Investment
Representations and Warranties. In connection
with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser makes the following representations
and warranties to the Company as of the Effective Date and as of the date of the
Closing:
(a) This
Agreement has been duly authorized and executed by Purchaser and, when delivered
by Purchaser in accordance with its terms, will constitute the valid and legally
binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity
whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity and by bankruptcy,
insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies
generally.
(b) Purchaser
understands that the Company is a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and
the Company’s various periodic reports and other SEC filings are available for
public inspection on the EDGAR system at www.sec.gov. Purchaser
further acknowledges that Purchaser and Purchaser’s advisors have had the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company’s
management concerning this investment. Purchaser is aware of the
Company’s business affairs and financial condition based on the said public
available information and the answers from the Company’s management (the “Information”), and
Purchaser and Purchaser’s advisors have evaluated the merits and risks of an
investment in the Company and decided to acquire the Shares based on such
Information and on the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in
Section 4 above.
(c) Purchaser
understands that the Shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities
Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon,
among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as
expressed herein.
(d) Purchaser
understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act and that, consequently, Purchaser must hold
the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and
qualified by state authorities and resold pursuant to the requirements of such
registration/qualification, or an exemption from such registration and
qualification requirements is available. Purchaser further
acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is
available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not
limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and
requirements relating to the Company which are outside of Purchaser’s control,
and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to
satisfy.
(e) Purchaser
is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the
Securities Act.
(f) Purchaser
has not entered into any agreement to pay commissions to any persons with
respect to the purchase or sale of the Shares, except commissions for which
Purchaser will be responsible.
(g) Purchaser
understands and acknowledges that no Japanese or United States federal or state
agency, governmental authority, regulatory body, stock exchange or other entity
has made any finding or determination as to the merits of this investment, nor
have any such agencies, governmental authorities, regulatory bodies, stock
exchanges or other entities made any recommendation or endorsement with respect
to the Shares.
(h) Purchaser,
in evaluating the merits of an investment in the Shares, is not relying on the
Company, its counsel, or any financial or other advisor to the Company for an
evaluation of the tax, legal or other consequences of an investment in the
Shares.
(i) Purchaser
is purchasing the Shares for investment for its own account only and not with a
view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.
6. Closing Conditions.
(a) Purchaser’s
obligation to consummate the transactions to be performed by it at the Closing
is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) No
preliminary or permanent injunction or other binding order, decree or ruling
issued by a court or government authority shall be in effect which shall have
the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement;
(ii) The
representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 4 hereof
shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing with the same effect as
though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the
Closing;
(iii) The
Company shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all
agreements, obligations and conditions contained in this Agreement that are
required to be performed or complied with by it on or before the
Closing;
(iv) The
Company shall have obtained any and all consents, permits and waivers necessary
or appropriate for consummation of the sale of the Shares to Purchaser;
and
(v) The
Company shall have obtained all necessary permits and qualifications, if any, or
secured an exemption therefrom, required by any governmental authority prior to
the offer and sale of the Shares to Purchaser.
(b) The
Company’s obligation to consummate the transactions to be performed by it at the
Closing is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) The
representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Section 5 hereof shall
be true and correct on and as of the Closing with the same effect as though such
representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Closing;
and
(ii) Purchaser
shall have delivered the Purchase Price against delivery of the
Shares.
7. Legends. The certificates
representing the Shares shall bear the following legends:
“The
shares of common stock of Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. represented hereby have not
been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”). These securities may not be offered, sold, pledged
or otherwise transferred (nor may exposure with respect to the shares otherwise
be hedged) except (A)(1) pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act, (2) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144 thereunder (if available), or (3) pursuant
to another valid exemption from registration under the
Securities
Act (if available), and (B) in each case in accordance with all applicable
securities laws of the States of the United States. No representation
is made hereby as to the availability of the exemption provided by Rule 144
under the Securities Act for resales of the shares.
This
certificate evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain rights as set
forth in a Rights Agreement between Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. and Computershare
Trust Company, Inc., a Colorado corporation, as Rights Agent, dated as of May
29, 2003, as amended (the “Rights Agreement”), the terms of which are hereby
incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal
executive offices of Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. Under certain circumstances, as
set forth in the Rights Agreement, such rights will be evidenced by separate
certificates and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate. Cytori
Therapeutics, Inc. will mail to the holder of this certificate a copy of the
Rights Agreement without charge after receipt of a written request therefor.
Under certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, rights issued to,
or held by, any Person who is, was or becomes an Acquiring Person or an
Affiliate or Associate thereof (as such terms are defined in the Rights
Agreement) and certain related Persons, whether currently held by or on behalf
of such Person or by any subsequent holder, may become null and
void.”
8. Registration. The
Company shall use reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission
within 30 business days after receipt of written request by Purchaser a
Registration Statement covering the resale of the Shares for an offering to be
made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement
shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for
resale the Shares on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on
another appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder). The Company shall use reasonable efforts to
cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities
Act as soon as practicable after its filing. The Company shall notify Purchaser
when the Registration Statement is available for offer and sale of the
Shares. The Company shall keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act for a period of two (2) years,
or until the date upon which all of the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act, whichever occurs first (the “Effectiveness
Period”).
9. Registration
Procedures; Company’s Obligations. In connection
with, and without limiting in any respect, the Company’s obligations for the
registration of the Shares above, the Company shall, as promptly as
possible:
(a) Furnish
to Purchaser a copy of the Registration Statement as proposed to be
filed.
(b) (i)
Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Shares for
the Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or
supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or
amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in
force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and (iii) respond to any comments
received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any
amendment thereto and provide Purchaser true and complete copies of all
correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration
Statement.
(c) Notify
Purchaser (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed,
(B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of
such Registration Statement and
whenever
the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) when
the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be, has
become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or
state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by
the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement covering any or all of the Shares or the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any state of the U.S., or
the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the
occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that
requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
(d) Use
its reasonable commercial efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued,
obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or
exemption from qualification) of any of the Shares for sale in any state of the
U.S.
(e) If
requested by Purchaser, (i) incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the
Company reasonably agrees should be included therein, and (ii) make all required
filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment after the
Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.
(f) Furnish
to Purchaser, without charge, one copy of the Registration Statement and all
amendments thereto, and such number of copies of the Prospectus and all
amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as Purchaser may
reasonably request in order to facilitate its disposition of
Shares.
(g) Use
its reasonable commercial efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with
Purchaser in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption
from such registration or qualification) of, the Shares for offer and sale under
the securities or Blue Sky laws of each state of the U.S. as Purchaser
reasonably requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification
(or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any
and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in
such states of the Shares covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would
subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is
not then so subject.
(h) Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 9(c)(v) hereof, prepare a
supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any
other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the
Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain 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 light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(i) Use
its reasonable efforts to cause all Shares to be listed on any U.S. national
securities exchange (such as the NASDAQ Global Market), U.S. quotation system,
or U.S. over-the-counter bulletin board, if any, on which the same securities
issued by the Company are then listed.
(j) If
(i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the
Company’s Board of Directors reasonably determines not to be in the Company’s
best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to
disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but
not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the
ordinary course of the Company’s business consistent with past practice) or any
merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to
the Company which the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably determines in the
Company’s best interest should not be disclosed and which the Company would be
required to disclose under the Registration Statement, then the Company may
suspend effectiveness of the Registration Statement and suspend the sale of
Shares under the Registration Statement one time in any three-month period or
three times in any 12-month period upon written notice of such suspension to
Purchaser, provided that the Company may not suspend its obligations for more
than 60 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period.
10. Registration
Procedures; Purchaser’s Obligations. In connection with the
registration of the Shares, Purchaser shall:
(a) (i)
not sell any Shares under the Registration Statement until Purchaser has
received copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented and notice
from the Company that such Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by Section 9(c) hereof,
(ii) comply with any prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as
applicable to Purchaser in connection with sales of Shares pursuant to the
Registration Statement, and (iii) furnish to the Company such information
regarding Purchaser and the distribution of the Shares as is required by law to
be disclosed in the Registration Statement.
(b) upon
receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind
described in Section 9(c)(ii), 9(c)(iii), 9(c)(iv), 9(c)(v) or 9(j) hereof,
forthwith discontinue disposition of the Shares under the Registration Statement
until Purchaser’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or
amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 9(i), or until it is
advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may
be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
11. Registration
Expenses.
All fees
and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with the obligations
under Section 9 of this Agreement, including, without limitation, registration
and filing fees, printing expenses, and fees and expenses of counsel and
independent public accountants for the Company, shall be borne by the Company
whether or not any Shares are sold pursuant to the Registration
Statement.
12. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the
Company. The Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser,
Purchaser’s permitted assignees, officers, directors, agents, brokers,
investment advisors and employees, each person who controls Purchaser or a
permitted assignee (within the meaning
of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the
officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person, and
the respective successors, heirs, assigns, estate and personal representatives
of each of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties,
judgments, costs (including, without limitation, costs of investigation) and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), as
incurred, arising out of or relating to any breach by the Company of any of its
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in or made
pursuant to this Agreement or arising out of or relating to any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement or any Prospectus, each as supplemented or amended, if applicable, or
arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of any Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except (i) to
the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are
based solely upon information regarding Purchaser furnished in writing to the
Company by Purchaser expressly for use therein, or (ii) as a result of the
failure of Purchaser to deliver a Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, to a
purchaser in connection with an offer or sale. The Company shall notify
Purchaser in writing promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any
Proceeding of which the Company is aware in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and provide a reasonable description of such
institution, threat or assertion. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an
Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 12(b) hereof) and shall survive the
transfer of the Shares by Purchaser.
(b) Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any
person who may be entitled to indemnity pursuant to Section 12(a) hereunder (an
“Indemnified
Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Company (the
“Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense
thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with defense thereof; provided, that the
failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement,
except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced
the Indemnifying Party; provided further,
that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the
Proceeding if (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party
in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party has given to the
Indemnifying Party the notice required by this Section 12(b) that the
Indemnifying Party will defend the Indemnified Party in the Proceeding and will
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against the
Losses related thereto; (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide the
Indemnified Party with reasonable evidence that the Indemnifying Party will have
the financial resources to defend the Indemnified Party in the Proceeding and
fulfill all the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder;
(iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that there is a conflict of
interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the conduct
of any such defense of the Proceeding; or (iv) the Indemnifying Party fails to
conduct the defense of the Indemnified Party in the Proceeding actively and
diligently. In the event any of the conditions described in clauses
(i)-(iv) above occur, (A) the Indemnified Party may defend against, consent to
the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the
Proceeding in any manner the Indemnified Party reasonably may deem appropriate
(and the Indemnified Party need not consult with or obtain any consent from the
Indemnifying Party in connection therewith provided that the Indemnified Party
has provided to the Indemnifying Party notice of Indemnified Party’s intent to
defend, consent to entry of judgment or enter into settlement at least two (2)
business days prior thereto); (B) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the
Indemnified Party promptly and periodically, but in no event later than twenty
(20) days after a
written
request for payment therefor first been made by the Indemnified Party, for the
costs of defense of the Proceeding (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses); and (C) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any
Losses, including damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement, that the Indemnified Party may incur resulting from, arising
out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the investigation, defense,
settlement or appeal of the Proceeding to the fullest extent provided in Section
12(a) above.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and
expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume
the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) any of the conditions
described in clauses (i)-(iv) above occur. Except as expressly
provided otherwise herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld, conditioned or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All
reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees
and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend a Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section)
shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within 20 business days of
written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is
ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder; provided, that the
Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse
all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined
that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder or
pursuant to applicable law).
(c) The
indemnity agreement contained in this Section is in addition to any liability
that the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Parties.
13. Other
Purchasers; Best Financial Terms . Purchaser acknowledges that the Company
intends to seek to enter into other purchase or subscription agreements on terms
substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement with certain other
investors. The Company intends to offer up to an aggregate of 5,200,000 shares
of Common Stock (including those sold to Purchaser and any such other investors)
with a closing date on or before August 8, 2008 (the “Offering”). The Company shall reduce the
Purchase Price per Share provided in this Agreement to match the purchase price
per Share agreed to by any other investors in the Offering if the Company and
such other investors agree to a lower price. In addition, to the extent the
Company provides warrant coverage or any other terms more favorable to any other
investors in the Offering, the Company shall provide Purchaser the same
percentage of warrant coverage (and on the same terms) and such other favorable
terms, if any.
14. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing
Law. This Agreement
and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of
the Parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of
conflicts of law.
(b) Entire
Agreement; Enforcement of Rights. This Agreement
sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties relating to the
subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them with regard
to such subject matter. No modification of or amendment to this
Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective
unless in writing signed by the Parties. The forbearance in any one
or more instances of a Party to insist upon performance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege
conferred by this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any such
terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, but the same shall continue
and remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had
occurred. The waiver by a Party of any breach of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement or of any right or privilege conferred
by this Agreement shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of any such
terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges. No waiver shall
be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative
of the waiving Party.
(c) Severability. If any provision of
this Agreement or the application thereof is prohibited by law or otherwise
determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction,
such provision shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it
would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such
provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues
to express, without material change, the original intentions of the Parties as
to the subject matter hereof. The Parties will endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s)
with a valid and enforceable provision(s) that will achieve, to the extent
possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the prohibited, invalid
or unenforceable provision(s).
(d) Construction. This Agreement is
the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by the Parties and
their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to
be the product of both of the Parties, and no ambiguity shall be construed in
favor of or against either one of the Parties.
(e) Survival. The
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement
shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations and
Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants as
of the date hereof and the Closing Date (except for the representations and
warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be made as of such
date), to each of the Purchasers and to the Placement Agent that, except as set
forth in the Schedules delivered herewith or disclosed in the SEC
Reports:
(a) Subsidiaries. The
Company has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries other than those listed in Schedule 3.1(a)
hereto. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(a)
hereto, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or
comparable equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any and all
Liens which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or comparable equity
interest of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid,
non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or
purchase securities.
(b) Organization and
Qualification. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is an entity duly
incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as
applicable), with the requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease
and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the
provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or
other organizational or charter documents. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Authorization; Enforcement;
Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its
obligations hereunder and thereunder. The Company’s execution and delivery of
each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by
it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, but not
limited to, the sale and delivery of the Securities and the reservation for
issuance and the subsequent issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the
Warrants) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
part of the Company, and no further corporate action is required by the Company,
its Board of Directors or its stockholders in connection therewith other than in
connection with the Required Approvals. Each of the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by
the Company and is, or when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general, (ii) as limited by laws relating to
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions
may be limited by applicable law. Except for Material Contracts and the items
identified on Schedule
3.1(g) hereto, there are no stockholder agreements, voting agreements, or
other similar arrangements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which
the Company is a party or, to the Company’s Knowledge, between or among any of
the Company’s stockholders.
(d) No Conflicts. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents
to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of
the Securities and the reservation for issuance and issuance of the Warrant
Shares) do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate
any
provisions of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or otherwise result in a violation of the organizational
documents of the Company, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would result in a
default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of,
any Material Contract, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with
or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority
to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations and the rules and regulations, assuming the correctness of the
representations and warranties made by the Purchasers herein, of any
self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject,
including all applicable Trading Markets), or by which any property or asset of
the Company is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii) and
(iii) such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(e) Filings, Consents and
Approvals. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to
obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or
make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local
or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents
(including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities and the
reservation for issuance and issuance of the Warrant Shares), other than
(i) the filing with the Commission of one or more Registration Statements
in accordance with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement,
(ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) the
filing of a Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with the Commission
under Regulation D of the Securities Act, (iv) the filing of any
requisite notices and/or application(s) to the Principal Trading Market for the
issuance and sale of the Common Stock and the listing of the Common Stock for
trading or quotation, as the case may be, thereon in the time and manner
required thereby, (v) the filings required in accordance with Section 4.6
of this Agreement and (vi) those that have been made or obtained prior to
the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Required
Approvals”).
(f) Issuance of the
Securities. The Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and
paid for in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all
Liens, other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction
Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws, and shall not be subject to
preemptive or similar rights. The Warrants have been duly authorized
and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Transaction
Documents, will be duly and validly issued, free and clear of all Liens, other
than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents or
imposed by applicable securities laws, and shall not be subject to preemptive or
similar rights of stockholders. The Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance
with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Warrants will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens, other
than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Documents or
imposed by applicable securities laws, and shall not be subject to preemptive or
similar rights of stockholders. Assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Purchasers in this Agreement, the
Securities will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state
securities laws. As of the Closing Date, the Company shall have
reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into account any
limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the
Warrants). The Company shall, so long as any of the Warrants are
outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the outstanding Warrants (without taking into account any
limitations on the exercise of the outstanding Warrants set forth in the
Warrants).
(g) Capitalization. The
number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and outstanding capital
stock, options and other securities of the Company (whether or not presently
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of
the Company) has been set forth in the SEC Reports or in Schedule 3.1(g)
hereto and, except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g)
hereto, has changed since the
date of
such SEC Reports only due to stock grants or other equity awards or stock option
and warrant exercises that do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
material effect on the issued and outstanding capital stock, options and other
securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, have been issued
in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal and state
securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of
any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any capital
stock of the Company. Except as specified in the SEC Reports and in Schedule 3.1(g)
hereto: (i) no shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock are
subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights; (ii) there are no
outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of capital
stock of the Company, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements
by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional shares of
capital stock of the Company or options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe
to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities
or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of
capital stock of the Company, other than those issued or granted pursuant to
Material Contracts or equity or incentive plans or arrangements described in the
SEC Reports; (iii) there are no material outstanding debt securities,
notes, credit agreements, credit facilities or other
agreements, documents or instruments evidencing indebtedness of the Company or
by which the Company is bound; (iv) to the Company’s Knowledge, there are
no financing statements securing obligations in any material amounts, either
singly or in the aggregate, filed in connection with the Company;

hereto and the Registration Rights Agreement, there are no agreements or
arrangements under which the Company is obligated to register the sale of any of
their securities under the Securities Act; (vi) there are no outstanding
securities or instruments of the Company or which contain any redemption or
similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to redeem a security of
the Company; (vii) there are no securities or instruments containing
anti-dilution or similar provisions that will be triggered by the issuance of
the Securities; (viii) the Company does not have any stock appreciation rights
or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement; and
(ix) the Company has no liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed
in the SEC Reports but not so disclosed in the SEC Reports, other than those
incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s businesses and which,
individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(h) SEC Reports; Disclosure
Materials. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(h)-1
hereto, the Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and
other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, including
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the twelve months preceding the
date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or
regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the
exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being
collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports” and together

thereunder, and, except as corrected by subsequent filings, none of the SEC
Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in

they were made, not misleading. The Company has never been an issuer
subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act.
(i) Financial Statements.
The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in
all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and
regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of

statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis during the periods involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such
financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial
statements may not contain all
footnotes
required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole as of
and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the

year-end audit adjustments.

and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction
to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental

reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the
periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply, except, in the
case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, where the failure to so pay or

Adverse Effect.
(k) Material Changes.

Reports, except as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports or in the items
identified in Schedule
3.1(h)-2 hereto or as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g)
hereto, (i) there have been no events, occurrences or developments that
have had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any
material liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade
payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course
of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required
to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or
required to be disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the
Company has not altered materially its method of accounting or the manner in
which it keeps its accounting books and records, (iv) the Company has not
declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its

SEC Reports or (C) issued pursuant to other existing agreements disclosed in the
SEC Reports and (vi) there has not been any material change or amendment
to, or any waiver of any material right by the Company under, any Material
Contract under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or subject.
Except for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the items set
forth in Schedule 3.1(g)
hereto, no event, liability or development has occurred or exists with respect
to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties,
operations or financial condition that would be required to be disclosed by the
Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made
that has not been publicly disclosed at least one Trading Day prior to the date
that this representation is made.
(l) Environmental
Matters. To the Company’s Knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries (i) is in violation of any statute, rule, regulation, decision
or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign,
relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or
relating to the protection or restoration of the environment or human exposure
to hazardous or toxic substances (collectively, “Environmental Laws”),
(ii) owns or operates any real property contaminated with any substance
that is in violation of any Environmental Laws, (iii) is liable for any
off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any Environmental Laws, or
(iv) is subject to any claim relating to any Environmental Laws; which
violation, contamination, liability or claim has had or would have, individually
or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and, to the Company’s Knowledge,
there is no pending or threatened investigation that might lead to such a
claim.
(m) Litigation. To the
Company’s Knowledge, there is no Action which (i) adversely affects or
challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction
Documents or the Securities or (ii) except as specifically disclosed in the
SEC Reports, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect,
individually or in the aggregate, if there were an unfavorable decision. Neither
the Company
nor any
Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of
any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state
securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. The Commission has not
issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any
registration statement filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the
Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(n) Employment Matters.
No material labor dispute exists or, to the Company’s Knowledge, is imminent
with respect to any of the employees of the Company which would have a Material
Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s employees is a member of a union that
relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company, and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining
agreement, and the Company and each Subsidiary believes that its relationship
with its employees is good. No executive officer of the Company (as defined in
Rule 501(f) of the 1933 Act) has notified the Company that such officer intends
to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the
Company. To the Company’s Knowledge, no executive officer is, or is now expected
to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant in favor of a third party, and to the Company’s Knowledge, the
continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company
or any Subsidiary to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.
To the Company’s Knowledge, it is in compliance with all U.S. federal, state,
local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and
hours, except where the failure to be in compliance would not, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Compliance. Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in default under or in
violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries under), nor has the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
received written notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in
violation of, any Material Contract (whether or not such default or violation
has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of which the Company
has been made aware in writing of any court, arbitrator or governmental body
having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties or assets, or
(iii) is in violation of, or in receipt of written notice that it is in
violation of, any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority
applicable to the Company, except in each case as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Regulatory Permits.
The Company possesses or has applied for all certificates, authorizations and
permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted and as
described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits,
individually or in the aggregate, has not and would not have, individually or in
the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and
(i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice
in writing of proceedings relating to the revocation or material adverse
modification of any such Material Permits and (ii) the Company is unaware
of any facts or circumstances that would give rise to the revocation or material
adverse modification of any Material Permits.
(q) Title to Assets. The
Company and its Subsidiaries do not own any real property. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all tangible personal property
owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as whole, in each case free and clear of all Liens except
such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by
the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting
and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not
interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and
buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(r) Patents and
Trademarks. To the Company’s Knowledge, except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(r)
hereto, the Company and its Subsidiaries own, possess, license or have other
rights to use all foreign and domestic patents, patent applications, trade and
service marks, trade and service mark registrations, trade names, copyrights,
inventions, trade secrets, technology, Internet domain names, know-
how and
other intellectual property (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”)
necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as now conducted or as
proposed to be conducted in the SEC Reports. Except as set forth in the SEC
Reports and except where such violations or infringements would not have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (a) to the
Company’s Knowledge, there are no rights of third parties to any such
Intellectual Property; (b) to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no
infringement by third parties of any such Intellectual Property; (c) to the
Company’s Knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding
or claim by others challenging the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ rights in or
to any such Intellectual Property; (d) to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no
pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging
the validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property; and (e) to the
Company’s Knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding
or claim by others that the Company and/or any Subsidiary infringes or otherwise
violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary
rights of others.
(s) Insurance. The
Company and each of the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses and locations
in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of cancellation of any such
insurance, nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, will it or any Subsidiary be unable
to renew their respective existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage
expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary
to continue its business.
(t) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and other than the
grant of stock options or other equity awards that are not individually or in
the aggregate material in amount, none of the officers or directors of the
Company and, to the Company’s Knowledge, none of the employees of the Company,
is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or to a presently
contemplated transaction (other than for services as employees, officers and
directors) that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of
Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.
(u) Internal Accounting
Controls. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are
executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations,
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability
accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is
permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and
liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable
intervals and in the Company’s good faith judgment appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences.
(v) Sarbanes-Oxley; Disclosure
Controls. To the Company’s Knowledge, the Company is in compliance in all
material respects with all of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
which are applicable to it, except where such noncompliance would not have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company
maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act).
(w) Certain Fees. Except
as identified in Schedule 3.1(w)
hereto, no person or entity will have, as a result of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or
upon the Company or a Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation
pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on
behalf of the Company, other than the Placement Agent with respect to the offer
and sale of the Shares and Warrants (which placement agent fees are being paid
by the Company). The Company shall indemnify, pay, and hold each Purchaser
harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such
right, interest or claim.
(x) Private Placement.
Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set
forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement and the accuracy of the information
disclosed in the Accredited Investor Questionnaires, no registration under the
Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the
Company to the Purchasers under the Transaction Documents.
(y) Registration Rights.
Other than as set forth in the SEC Reports and other than each of the Purchasers
or as set forth in Schedule 3.1(y)
hereto, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration
under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company other than those
securities which are currently registered on an effective registration statement
on file with the Commission.
(z) No Integrated
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries
nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any of its Affiliates or any
Person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the
past six months, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited
any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate
the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D
under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of

Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, for itself and for
no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the
Closing Date to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with
the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or, if such Purchaser is not a corporation, such partnership, limited
liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such
Purchaser. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been
duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in
accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(b) No Conflicts. The
execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation by such Purchaser of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a
violation of the organizational documents of such Purchaser, (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which such Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including
federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Purchaser, except in the
case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults,
rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such
Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.
(c) Investment Intent.
Such Purchaser understands that the Shares and Warrants are “restricted
securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares and Warrants as
principal for its own account and not with a view to, or for distributing or
reselling such Shares or Warrants or any part thereof in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, provided, however , that by
making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold any of
the Shares or Warrants for any minimum period of time and reserves
(d) Purchaser Status. At
the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares and Warrants, it was, and at the
date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act.
(e) General Solicitation.
Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares and Warrants as a result of any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares and
Warrants published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over
television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general
advertisement.
(f) Experience of Such
Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its
representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business
and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the prospective investment in the Shares and Warrants, and has so evaluated the
merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic
risk of an investment in the Shares and Warrants and, at the present time, is
able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(g) Access to
Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity
to review the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the

of the offering of the Shares and Warrants and the merits and risks of investing
in the Shares and Warrants; (ii) access to information about the Company
and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of
operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable
it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such
additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without
unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other
investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives
or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the
truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. Such
Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered
necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the
Shares and Warrants.
(h) Certain Trading
Activities. Other than with respect to the transactions contemplated
herein, since the time that such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company,
the Placement Agent or any other Person regarding the transactions contemplated
hereby, neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of such Purchaser which
(x) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) has or
shares discretion relating to such Purchaser’s investments or trading or
information concerning such Purchaser’s investments, including in respect of the
Shares and Warrants, and (z) is subject to such Purchaser’s review or input
concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “ Trading Affiliate s”) has
directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to
any understanding with such Purchaser or Trading Affiliate, effected or agreed
to effect any purchases or sales of the securities of the Company (including,
without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser and/or Trading
Affiliate that is, individually or collectively, a multi-managed investment bank
or vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such
Purchaser’s or Trading Affiliate’s assets and the portfolio managers have no
direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser’s or Trading Affiliate’s assets, the representation set forth above shall apply only with respect to
the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that have knowledge about
the financing transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Other than to other
Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the
confidentiality
of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the
existence and terms of this transaction).
(i) Brokers and Finders.
No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or any
Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the
Purchaser.
(j) Independent Investment
Decision. Such Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its
decision to purchase Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
and such Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other
Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision. Such
Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials
presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the
purchase of the Shares and Warrants constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.
Such Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in
its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its
purchase of the Shares and Warrants. Such Purchaser understands that the
Placement Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in this placement
of the Shares and Warrants and such Purchaser has not relied on the business or
legal advice of the Placement Agent or any of its agents, counsel or Affiliates
in making its investment decision hereunder, and confirms that none of such
Persons has made any representations or warranties to such Purchaser in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.

requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the
Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s
compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements
and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire
the Shares and Warrants.
(l) No Governmental
Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state
agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Shares and Warrants or the fairness or
suitability of the investment in the Shares and Warrants nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares and
Warrants.

under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Common Stock and other activities
with respect to the Common Stock by the Purchasers.

The
Company and each of the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that no party to this
Agreement has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in
this Article III and the Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) Compliance with Laws.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV, each Purchaser covenants
that the Securities may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective
registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the
Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction
not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in
compliance with any applicable state, federal or foreign securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of
the
Securities other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii)
to the Company, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that the Purchaser provides
the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker
representation letters) that the securities may be sold pursuant to such rule)
or Rule 144A or (iv) in connection with a bona fide pledge as contemplated in
Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the
Company and the Transfer Agent, at the transferor’s expense, an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company and
the Transfer Agent, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the
Securities Act. As a condition of transfer (other than pursuant to
clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence), any such transferee shall
agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the
rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
with respect to such transferred Securities.
(b) Legends. Certificates
evidencing the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall bear any legend
as required by the California Corporations Code (including the legend set forth
in Schedule
4.1(b) hereto), the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend
in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required
under Section 4.1(c) or applicable law:
[NEITHER
THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED] [THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED] UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL
REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS
SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE
SECURITIES. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE BY THE ISSUER AS TO THE
AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT FOR
RESALES OF THESE SECURITIES.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge,
and/or grant a security interest in, some or all of the legended Securities in
connection with applicable securities laws, pursuant to a bona fide margin
agreement in compliance with a bona fide margin loan. Such a pledge
would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion
of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in
connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion shall be required in
connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the
Purchaser transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of
such pledge, but Purchaser’s transferee shall promptly notify the Company of any
such subsequent transfer or foreclosure. Each Purchaser acknowledges
that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the
grant of any security interest in, any of the Securities or for any agreement,
understanding or arrangement between any Purchaser and its pledgee or secured
party. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will
execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party
of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or a permissible
transfer of the Shares, including the preparation and
filing of
any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(ii) of the Securities Act
or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the
list of “Selling Stockholders” thereunder. Each Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Securities
subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b)
shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be
subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section
4.1(a).
(c) Removal of Legends.
The restrictive legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) above shall be removed and
the Company shall issue a certificate without such restrictive legend or any
other restrictive legend to the holder of the applicable Securities upon which
it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable
balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if (i) such Securities
are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided that, if the
Purchaser is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement
registering the Securities for resale, the Purchaser agrees to only sell such
Securities during such time that such registration statement is effective and
not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by such registration
statement), (ii) such Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144
(if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) such Securities
are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to
be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as
to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions. Following the earlier of (i) the Effective Date or (ii)
Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Securities, without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or
manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall cause Company Counsel to issue to
the Transfer Agent the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent,
Company Counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or
the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. Following
the Effective Date, or at such earlier time as a restrictive legend is no longer
required for certain Securities, the Company will no later than three (3)
Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the
Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate
representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures
guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or
transfer) and an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 4.1(a),
(such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”) deliver
or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such
Securities that is free from all restrictive legends. The Company may
not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent
that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section
4.1(c). Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal
hereunder may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchasers by
crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC as directed by
such Purchaser.
(d) Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its
Transfer Agent, and any subsequent transfer agent in the form of Exhibit E attached
hereto (the “Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions”). The Company represents and warrants that
no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred
to in this Section 4.1(d) or instructions that are not contradictory
therewith will be given by the Company to its transfer agent in connection with
this Agreement, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable
on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and applicable law. The Company
acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this
Section 4.1(d) will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 4.1(d) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a
breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Section 4.1(d), that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach
and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
(e) Acknowledgement. Each
Purchaser hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the
Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer the
Securities or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of
the Securities Act. Except as otherwise provided below, while the
above-referenced registration statement remains effective, each Purchaser
hereunder
may sell the Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the plan of
distribution contained in the registration statement and if it does so it will
comply therewith and with the related prospectus delivery requirements unless an
exemption therefrom is available. Each Purchaser, severally and not
jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that if it is notified by the Company
in writing at any time that the registration statement registering the resale of
the Shares and Warrant Shares is not effective or that the prospectus included
in such registration statement no longer complies with the requirements of
Section 10 of the Securities Act, the Purchaser will refrain from selling
such Shares and Warrant Shares until such time as the Purchaser is notified by
the Company that such registration statement is effective or such prospectus is
compliant with Section 10 of the Exchange Act, unless such Purchaser is
able to, and does, sell such Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to an available
exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act. Both the Company and its Transfer Agent, and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents, may rely on this subsection (e) and each
Purchaser hereunder will indemnify and hold harmless each of such persons from
any breaches or violations of this paragraph.
(f) Buy-In. If the
Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to a Purchaser
unlegended certificates within three (3) Business Days of receipt of all
documents necessary for the removal of the legend set forth above (the “Deadline Date”), then, in
addition to all other remedies available to such Purchaser, if on or after the
Business Day immediately following such three (3) Business Day period, such
Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of shares of
Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without
any restrictive legend (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall, within three (3) Business Days after such Purchaser’s request and in
such Purchaser’s sole discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Purchaser in
an amount equal to such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which
point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such
shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Purchaser in an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of
(a) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (b) the Closing Bid
Price on the Deadline Date.
4.2 Acknowledgment of
Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the
Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the
Transaction Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the
Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute
and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction,
regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have
against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance
may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.3 Furnishing of
Information. In order to enable the Purchasers to sell the Securities
under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, for a period of one year from the Closing,
the Company shall maintain the registration of the Securities under Section
12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the
Exchange Act. During such one year period, if the Company is not
required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to
the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such
information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule
144.
4.4 Form D and Blue
Sky. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the
Shares and Warrants as required under Regulation D. The Company,
on or before the Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to
qualify the Shares and Warrants for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing
pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the
states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification).
The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of
the Shares and Warrants required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws
of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.
4.5 No Integration. The
Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers
to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or
sale of the Shares and Warrants in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares and Warrants to the
Purchasers, or that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares and
Warrants for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such
that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other
transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such
subsequent transaction.
4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. By 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day
immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue

Trading Day immediately following the execution of this Agreement, the Company
will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the terms
of the Transaction Documents (and including as exhibits to such Current Report
on Form 8-K the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation,
this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement)). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser or
an Affiliate of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser or an
Affiliate of any Purchaser in any press release or filing with the Commission
(other than the Registration Statement) or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as
required by federal securities law in connection with (A) any registration
statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (B) the
filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with
the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law,
request of the Staff of the Commission or Trading Market regulations, in which
case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior written notice of such
disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii). From and after the
issuance of the Press Release(s) (which shall include the items identified in
Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto), no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material, non-public
information received from the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the Press
Release(s) (which shall include the items identified in Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto). Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers,
covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in this
Section 4.6 (which shall include the items identified in Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto), such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures
made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and
terms of this transaction).
4.7 Non-Public
Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and except with the
express written consent of such Purchaser and unless prior thereto such
Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality
and use of such information, the Company shall not, and shall cause each
Subsidiary and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and
agents, not to, and each Purchaser shall not directly solicit the Company, any
of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or
agents to provide any Purchaser with any material, non-public information
regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of
the Press Release(s) (which shall include the items identified in Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto).
4.8 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification of
Purchasers. In addition to the indemnity provided in the Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its
directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and
any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such
titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who
controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers,
stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with
a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a
lack of
such
title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless
from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies,
damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of
any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under
this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage
or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser
Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; provided that
such a claim for indemnification relating to any breach of any of the
representations or warranties made by the Company in this Agreement is made
within one year from the Closing.
(b) Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings.
Promptly after receipt by any Person (the "Indemnified Person”) of
notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a
claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.8(a), such
Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company
shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all
fees and expenses; provided,
however , that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the
extent that the Company is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by
such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the
Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention
of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly
to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the
reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of
both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for
any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out
of such proceeding.
4.9 Listing of Common
Stock. In the time and manner required by the Principal Trading Market,
the Company shall prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares
listing application covering all of the Shares and Warrant Shares and shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to cause the
Shares and Warrant Shares to be approved for listing on the Principal Trading
Market as soon as possible thereafter.
4.10 Use of Proceeds. The
Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares and Warrants
hereunder to expand commercialization activities for its Celution® 800/CRS
System in Europe and Asia Pacific and global marketing efforts for the Company’s
Celution System-based StemSource® Cell Bank business and for working capital and
general corporate purposes.
4.11 Short Sales After The Date
Hereof. Such Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Trading
Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the
Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving
the Company’s securities) during the period from the date hereof until the
earlier of such time as (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
first required to be publicly announced as described in Section 4.6 (which
public announcement shall include the items identified in Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto) or (ii) this Agreement is terminated in full pursuant to Section 6.17
and the items identified in Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto have been publicly announced as described in Section 4.6. Each
Purchaser severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers covenants that
until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed by the Company as described in
Section
4.6 (which public announcement shall include the items identified in Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto), such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and
terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the
non-public information contained in the items identified in Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any
representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short
Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as
described in Section 4.6 (which public announcement shall include the items
identified in Schedule 3.1(h)-2
hereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Purchaser
is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage
separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no
direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser's assets, the representation set forth
above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the
portfolio manager that have knowledge about the financing transaction
contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser understands and
acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, that the
Commission currently takes the position that covering a short position
established prior to effectiveness of a resale registration statement with
shares included in such registration statement would be a violation of Section 5
of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of
the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997,
compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation
Finance.
4.12 Subsequent Equity
Sales. From the date hereof until the date occurring 30 days
following the Effective Date, except for (i) issuances of securities pursuant to
existing equity incentive plans and the exercise of outstanding options, (ii)
issuances of securities pursuant to the exercise of warrants outstanding as of
the date hereof or warrants issued pursuant to the agreement identified in Schedule 3.1(g)
hereto or this Agreement, (iii) as contemplated by the items identified in
Schedule 3.1(g)
hereto, and (iv) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic
transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the
Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person which is,
itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business
synergistic with the business of the Company and in which the Company receives
benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a
transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose
of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in
securities, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents; provided, however, that the 30 day period set
forth in this Section 4.12 shall be extended for the number of Trading Days
during such period in which trading in the shares of Common Stock is suspended
by any Trading Market.
4.13 Reservation of Shares of
Common Stock. The Company shall take all action necessary to
at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance from and
after the Closing Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants issued at the Closing (without taking into account any
limitations on exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants).

6.4 Amendments; Waivers; No
Additional Consideration. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or
amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the Company and each of the Purchasers holding or having the right to acquire at
least two-thirds of the Securities on a fully-diluted basis at the time of such
amendment or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of
any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a
waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any
delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such right. No consideration shall be offered or paid
to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any
provision of any Transaction Document unless the same consideration is also
offered to all Purchasers who then hold Securities.
6.5 Construction. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be
construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of
proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents.
6.7 No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the
benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person,
except the Placement Agent is an intended third party beneficiary of
Article III hereof and the Placement Agent may enforce the provisions of
such Section directly against the parties with obligations
thereunder.
6.8 Governing Law. All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings
concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether
brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or
agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such
Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party
hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this 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 HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
6.9 Survival. Subject to
applicable statute of limitations, the representations, warranties, agreements
and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the
Shares and
Warrants,
except that the representations and warranties contained herein shall terminate
upon the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date.
6.10 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature
shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose
behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
6.11 Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.12 Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or
instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the Transfer Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the
execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of
that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the
Transfer Agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the
Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer
Agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such
circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with
the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or
instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof,
the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as
a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
6.13 Remedies. In addition
to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law,
including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be
entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties
agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any
such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary
restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
6.14 Payment Set Aside. To
the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser
pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its
rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such
enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged
by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company,
a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.15 Adjustments in Common Stock
Numbers and Prices . In the event of any stock split, subdivision,
dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities
or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly
or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar
recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the
Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a
price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such
event.
6.16 Independent Nature of
Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser
under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of
any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction
Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities
pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Purchaser
independently of any other Purchaser 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 any Subsidiary which may have been
made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other
Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any
liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising
from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing
contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any
Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or
create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as
a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other
Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its
investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such
Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or
enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser
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 Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate
legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers
and their respective counsels have chosen to communicate with the Company
through Goodwin Procter LLP, counsel to the Placement Agent. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that Goodwin Procter LLP has rendered legal advice to the
Placement Agent and not to such Purchaser in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, and that each such Purchaser has relied for such matters on
the advice of its own respective counsel. The Company has elected to
provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the
convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so
by any Purchaser.
6.17 Termination. This
Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Shares and Warrants
abandoned at any time prior to the Closing by either the Company or any
Purchaser (with respect to itself only) upon written notice to the other, if the
Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Outside Date; provided,
however , that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 6.17 shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in
the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time. Nothing
in this Section 6.17 shall be deemed to release any party from any
liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party
to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In the event of a termination
pursuant to this Section, the Company shall promptly notify all non-terminating
Purchasers and the Escrow Agent. Upon a termination in accordance with this
Section, the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any further
obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to the other,
and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under the
Transaction Documents as a result therefrom.
6.18 Waiver of Conflicts.
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that Company Counsel, outside general
counsel to the Company, has in the past performed and is or may now or in the
future represent one or more Purchasers or their affiliates in matters unrelated
to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including
representation of such Purchasers or their affiliates in matters of a similar
nature to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The
applicable rules of professional conduct require that Company Counsel inform the
parties hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent. Company
Counsel has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated
the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents solely

ACCREDITED
INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
(ALL
INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY)
To: Cytori
Therapeutics, Inc.
This
Investor Questionnaire (“Questionnaire”) must
be completed by each potential investor in connection with the offer and sale of
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants to purchase
shares of common stock (the “Securities”), of
Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”). The
Securities are being offered and sold by the Corporation without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the
securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions contained in
Section 4(2) of the Act and on Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in
reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The
Corporation must determine that a potential investor meets certain suitability
requirements before offering or selling Securities to such
investor. The purpose of this Questionnaire is to assure the
Corporation that each investor will meet the applicable suitability
requirements. The information supplied by you will be used in
determining whether you meet such criteria, and reliance upon the private
offering exemptions from registration is based in part on the information herein
supplied.
This
Questionnaire does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer
to buy any security. Your answers will be kept strictly
confidential. However, by signing this Questionnaire, you will be
authorizing the Corporation to provide a completed copy of this Questionnaire to
such parties as the Corporation deems appropriate in order to ensure that the
offer and sale of the Securities will not result in a violation of the Act or
the securities laws of any state and that you otherwise satisfy the suitability
standards applicable to purchasers of the Securities. All potential
investors must answer all applicable questions and complete, date and sign this
Questionnaire. Please print or type your responses and attach
additional sheets of paper if necessary to complete your answers to any
item.

Form of
Opinion of Company Counsel
1.
|
The
Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation
in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
|
2.
|
The
Company has the requisite corporate power to own its property and assets
and to conduct its business as it is currently being
conducted.
|
3.
|
The
Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is
in good standing under the laws of the State of
California.
|
4.
|
The
Company has the requisite corporate power to execute, deliver and perform
its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without
limitation, to issue, sell and deliver the Securities under the Purchase
Agreement.
|
5.
|
Each
of the Transaction Documents has been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company and each such agreement constitutes
a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally, (ii) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, and (iii)
any rights to indemnity and contribution thereunder may be limited by
federal and state securities laws and public policy
considerations.
|
6.
|
The
Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 95,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Securities have been duly
authorized, and upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in
accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement (and, with respect to
the Warrant Shares, in accordance with the terms of the Warrants), the
Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free
of any preemptive right or similar rights contained in the Organizational
Documents. The Warrant Shares have been duly and validly
reserved for issuance by all necessary corporate
action.
|
7.
|
The
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
issuance of the Securities pursuant thereto do not violate any provision
of the Organizational Documents and do not violate (a) any federal or
California governmental statute, rule or regulation which in our
experience is typically applicable to transactions of the nature
contemplated by the Transaction Documents or (b) any order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award which has been
entered against the Company and of which we are
aware.
|
8.
|
To
our knowledge, there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending or
overtly threatened against the Company before any court or administrative
agency that questions the validity or enforceability of the Transaction
Documents, or seeks to enjoin the performance of the Transaction
Documents.
|
9.
|
All
consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and filings,
registrations, and qualifications with any U.S. Federal or California
regulatory authority or governmental body or required under the Delaware
General Corporation Law for the issuance of the Shares and Warrants, have
been made or obtained, except for (a) the filing of a Form D
pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D,
(b) the filing of the notice to be filed under California
Corporations Code Section 25102.1(d), and (c) the filings required in
accordance with Section 4.6 of the Purchase
Agreement.
|
10.
|
The
offer and sale of the Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, subject to the timely filing of a Form D
pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation D.

Reference
is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 7,
2008 (the “Agreement”),
by and among Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers
named on the signature pages thereto (collectively, and including permitted
transferees, the “Holders”), pursuant to which
the Company is issuing to the Holders shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of the Company, par
value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants
(the “Warrants”) which
are exercisable into Common Stock.
This
letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you
(provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time and the
conditions set forth in this letter are satisfied), subject to any stop transfer
instructions that we may issue to you from time to time, if any, to issue
certificates representing shares of Common Stock to a Holder from time to time
upon delivery to you of instructions by the Company as indicated in writing
executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company together with indication of
receipt of the exercise price therefor.
You acknowledge and agree that so long
as you have received (a) written confirmation from the Company’s legal
counsel that either (1) a registration statement covering resales of the
Shares and Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or
(2) the Shares and Warrant Shares have been sold in conformity with
Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) or are
eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be
in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to
such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and
(b) if applicable, a copy of such registration statement, then, unless
otherwise required by law, within three (3) business days of your receipt
of written authorization from a duly authorized officer of the Company that the
Common Stock may be issued pursuant to the Exercise Notice, you shall issue the
certificates representing the Common Stock registered in the names of such
Holders or transferees, as the case may be, and such certificates shall not bear
any legend restricting transfer of the Shares or Warrant Shares thereby and
should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction; provided, however, that if
such Shares or Warrant Shares are not registered for resale under the Securities
Act or able to be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to
be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as
to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, then the
certificates for such Shares or Warrant Shares shall bear the following
restrictive legend:

Re:

Ladies

We
are counsel to Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have
represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2008, entered into by and among the Company and
the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to
which the Company issued to the Purchasers shares of the Company’s common stock,
$0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants
to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to that
certain Registration Rights Agreement of even date, the Company agreed to
register the resale of such shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of such
warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”),
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In
connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on ,
2008, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File
No. 333- )
(the “Registration
Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the
Registrable Securities which names each of the Purchasers as a selling
stockholder thereunder.
In
connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the Commission’s

Warrant
No. ___
|
|
Original
Issue Date: _________, 2008
|
Cytori
Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies
that, for value received, [_______________] or its permitted registered assigns
(the “Holder”), is
entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [_____________
(__________)] shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the
Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such
shares, the “Warrant
Shares”) at an exercise price per share equal to $8.50 per share (as
adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9 herein, the “Exercise Price”), at any time
and from time to time after the date that is six months from the date hereof
(the “Trigger Date”)
and through and including 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on ____________, 2013
(the “Expiration
Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
This
Warrant (this “Warrant”) is one of a series
of similar warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated August 7, 2008, by and among the Company and the Purchasers
identified therein (the “Purchase
Agreement”). All such warrants are referred to herein,
collectively, as the “Warrants.”
1. Definitions. In
addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that
are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the
Purchase Agreement.
2.
Registration of
Warrants. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon
records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the
name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the
case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly
assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may deem and treat
the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the
purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all
other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of
Transfers. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section
4.1 of the Purchase Agreement and compliance with all applicable securities
laws, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this
Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form
of Assignment attached as Schedule 2 hereto
duly completed and signed, to the Company’s transfer agent or to the Company at
its address specified in the Purchase Agreement and (x) delivery, at the request
of the Company, of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company
to the effect that the transfer of such portion of this Warrant may be made
pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws and (y)
delivery by the transferee of a written statement to the Company certifying that
the transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and making the representations and certifications set forth in
Section 3.2(b), (c), (d) and (f) of the Purchase Agreement, to the Company at
its address specified in the Purchase Agreement. Upon any such registration or
transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock in substantially the form of
this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”) evidencing the
portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a
New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred,
if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New
Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such
transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant
that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall prepare, issue
and deliver at its own expense any New Warrant under this Section
3.
4. Exercise and Duration of
Warrant.
(a) All
or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any
manner permitted by Section 10 of this Warrant at any time and from time to time
on or after the Trigger Date and through and including 5:30 P.M. New York City
time, on the Expiration Date. At 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall
be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and no
longer outstanding.
(b) The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise
notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto
(the “Exercise
Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the
Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is
being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so
indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such
time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the
Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an
“Exercise Date.” The
delivery by (or on behalf of) the Holder of the Exercise Notice and the
applicable Exercise Price as provided above shall constitute the Holder’s
certification to the Company that its representations contained in Section
3.2(b), (c), (d) and (f) of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of
the Exercise Date as if remade in their entirety (or, in the case of any
transferee Holder that is not a party to the Purchase Agreement, such transferee
Holder’s certification to the Company that such representations are true and
correct as to such assignee Holder as of the Exercise Date). The
Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect
an exercise hereunder, but if it is not so delivered then such exercise shall
constitute an agreement by the Holder to deliver the original Warrant to the
Company as soon as practicable thereafter. Execution and delivery of
the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original
Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the
remaining number of Warrant Shares.
5. Delivery of Warrant
Shares.
(a) Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than
three Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and
cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such
name or names as the Holder may designate (provided that, if the Registration
Statement is not effective and the Holder directs the Company to deliver a
certificate for the Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder or an
Affiliate of the Holder, it shall deliver to the Company on the Exercise Date an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the
issuance of such Warrant Shares in such other name may be made pursuant to an
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and
all applicable state securities or blue sky laws), (i) a certificate for the
Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends, or (ii)
an electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Holder’s account at the
Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a similar
organization, unless in the case of clause (i) and (ii) a registration statement
covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling
stockholder thereunder is not then effective or the Warrant Shares are not
freely transferable without restriction under Rule 144 by Holders who are not
affiliates of the Company, in which case such Holder shall receive a certificate
for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise with appropriate restrictive
legends. The Holder, or any Person permissibly so designated by the
Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of
record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. If the Warrant
Shares are to be issued free of all restrictive legends, the Company shall, upon
the written request of the Holder, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver,
or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through The
Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing
similar functions, if available; provided, that, the Company may, but will not
be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot
deliver Warrant Shares electronically through such a clearing
corporation.
(b)
If by the close of the third Trading Day after delivery of an Exercise Notice
and the payment of the aggregate exercise price in any manner permitted by
Section 10 of this Warrant, the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a
certificate representing the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior
to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a
sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company
shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the
Holder’s sole discretion, either (1) pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal
to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any)
for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which
point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such
Warrant Shares) shall terminate or (2) promptly honor its obligation to deliver
to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares and
pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In
Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares, times (B) the
closing bid price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date.
(c) To
the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver
Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce
the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the
recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same,
or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to
the Company or any
violation
or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective
of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the
Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing
herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to
it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s
failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
6. Charges, Taxes and
Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder
for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares
or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof.
The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a
result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon
exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of
Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case)
and, in each case, a customary and reasonable indemnity and surety bond, if
requested by the Company. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances
shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay
such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New
Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the
Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition
precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.
8. Reservation of Warrant
Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise
unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant
Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant
Shares that are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire
Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of
persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and
restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so
issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable
Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly
authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all
such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common
Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law
or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated
quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
9. Certain Adjustments.
The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section
9.
(a)
Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding,
(i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution
on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, then in each such case the
Exercise
Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and
the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause
(i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such
subdivision or combination.
(b) Pro Rata
Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration
(i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution
of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph) or (iii) rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each
case, “Distributed
Property”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the
record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the
Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the
Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in
respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder
of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date without regard to
any limitation on exercise contained therein.
(c) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding
(i) the Company effects (A) any merger of the Company with (but not into)
another Person, in which stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction own less than a majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving
entity, or (B) any merger or consolidation of the Company into another Person,
(ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in
one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange
offer approved or authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors is completed
pursuant to which holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv)
the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into
or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a
subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a)
above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of
this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it
would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full
of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein
(the “Alternate
Consideration”), and the Holder shall no longer have the right to receive
Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not
effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with
the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the
corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate
corporation or Person shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such
Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the
Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this
Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall similarly apply
to subsequent transactions analogous of a Fundamental Transaction
type. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental
Transaction in which the consideration consists of substantially all cash or
securities of a private company, at the request of the Holder delivered before
the 20th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the successor
entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder,
within five Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective
date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black
Scholes
Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on
the date of such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes hereof, “Black
Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes
Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on
Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day
immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction and reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the
U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as
of such date of request and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the greater of
50% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on
Bloomberg.
(d) Number of Warrant
Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant
to paragraph (a) and (e) of this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that
may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased
proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price
payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall
be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.
(e) Subsequent Equity
Sales.
(i) Except as
provided in subsection (e)(iii) hereof, if and whenever the Company shall issue
or sell, or is, in accordance with any of subsections (e)(ii)(l) through
(e)(ii)(7) hereof, deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for
no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then and in each
such case (a “Trigger
Issuance”) the then-existing Exercise Price shall be reduced as of the
close of business on the effective date of the Trigger Issuance, to a price
determined as follows:
Adjusted
Exercise Price = (A x
B) + D
A+C
where
“A” equals the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding, including Additional Shares of Common Stock (as
defined below) deemed to be issued hereunder, immediately preceding such Trigger
Issuance;
“B” equals the Exercise Price in effect
immediately preceding such Trigger Issuance;
“C” equals the number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued hereunder as a result of the
Trigger Issuance; and
“D” equals the aggregate consideration,
if any, received or deemed to be received by the Company upon such Trigger
Issuance;
provided, however, that in no
event shall the Exercise Price after giving effect to such Trigger Issuance be
greater than the Exercise Price immediately prior to such Trigger
Issuance.
For
purposes of this subsection (e), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean
all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company or deemed to be issued pursuant
to this subsection (e), other than Excluded Issuances (as defined in subsection
(e)(iii) hereof).
(ii) For purposes of this subsection 9(e), the following
subsections (e)(ii)(l) to (e)(ii)(7) shall also be applicable:
(1)
Issuance of Rights or
Options. In case at any time the Company shall in any manner grant
(directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of,
Common Stock or any stock or security convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock (such warrants, rights or options being called “Options” and such convertible
or exchangeable stock or securities being called “Convertible Securities”),
whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any such
Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing
(i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration) of
(x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the granting of such Options, plus (y) the aggregate
amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of
all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options that relate to
Convertible Securities, the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if
any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the
conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total maximum number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the
conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the
exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of the granting of such Options, then the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or
upon conversion or exchange of the total amount of such Convertible Securities
issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued
for such price per share as of the date of granting of such Options or the
issuance of such Convertible Securities and thereafter shall be deemed to be
outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price. Except as otherwise
provided in subsection 9(e)(ii)(3), no adjustment of the Exercise Price
shall be made upon the actual issue of such Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issue of such Common
Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(2)
Issuance of
Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall in any manner issue
(directly and not by assumption in a merger or otherwise) or sell any
Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert any
such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share
for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined
by dividing (i) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable
consideration) of (x) the total amount received or receivable by the
Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities,
plus (y) the aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable
to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (ii) the total
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of all
such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued for such price
per share as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and
thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the
Exercise Price, provided that (a) except as otherwise provided in
subsection 9(e)(ii)(3), no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made
upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of
such Convertible Securities and (b) no further adjustment of the Exercise Price
shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon
exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which
adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other
provisions
of subsection 9(e). No adjustment pursuant to
this Section 9 shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of
the Exercise Price then in effect.
(3)
Change in Option Price
or Conversion Rate. Upon the happening of any of the following events,
namely, if the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in
subsection 9(e)(ii)(l) hereof, the additional consideration, if any,
payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred
to in subsections 9(e)(ii)(l) or 9(e)(ii)(2), or the rate at which Convertible
Securities referred to in subsections 9(e)(ii)(l) or 9(e)(ii)(2) are convertible
into or exchangeable for Common Stock shall change at any time (including, but
not limited to, changes under or by reason of provisions designed to protect
against dilution), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such event shall
forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at
such time had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided
for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as
the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.
(4) Stock
Dividends. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9(e), in
case the Company shall declare a dividend or make any other distribution upon
any stock of the Company (other than the Common Stock) payable in Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, then any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without
consideration.
(5) Consideration for
Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration
received therefor shall be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company
therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the
consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the
fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company. In case any Options shall be issued in connection with
the issue and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one
integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such
Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued
for such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company. If Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued
or sold by the Company and, in connection therewith, other Options or
Convertible Securities (the “Additional Rights”) are
issued, then the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company
shall be reduced by the fair market value of the Additional Rights (as
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or another method
mutually agreed to by the Company and the Holder). The Board of Directors of the
Company shall respond promptly, in writing, to an inquiry by the Holder as to
the fair market value of the Additional Rights. In the event that the Board of
Directors of the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market
value of the Additional Rights, the Company and the Holder shall jointly select
an appraiser who is experienced in such matters. The decision of such appraiser
shall be final and conclusive, and the cost of such appraiser shall be borne
evenly by the Company and the Holder.
(6) Record
Date. In case the Company shall take a record of the holders
of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend
or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities
or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued or
sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other
distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or
purchase, as the case may be.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be
made under this paragraph (e) in respect of: (i) the issuance of
securities upon the exercise or conversion of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents issued by the Company on or prior to the date hereof, (ii) the
grant of options, warrants, Common Stock or other Common Stock Equivalents (but
not including any amendments to such instruments) under any duly authorized
Company stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan whether now
existing or hereafter approved by the Company and its stockholders in the
future, and the issuance of Common Stock in respect thereof, (iii) the
issuance of securities in connection with a Strategic Transaction, or
(iv) the issuance of securities in a transaction described in
Section 9(a) or 9(b) (collectively, “Excluded Issuances”). For
purposes of this paragraph, a “Strategic Transaction” means
a transaction or relationship in which (1) the Company issues shares of
Common Stock to a Person that the Board of Directors of the Company determined
in good faith is, itself or through its Subsidiaries, an operating company in a
business synergistic with the business of the Company (or a shareholder thereof)
and (2) the Company expects to receive benefits in addition to the
investment of funds, but shall not include (x) a transaction in which the
Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to
a Person whose primary business is investing in securities or (y) issuances
to lenders.
(iv) NASDAQ
Limitation. Upon any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant
to Section 9(e)(i) above, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder
shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment
and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately
thereafter. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common
Stock that a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the
amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the
event of a transaction contemplated by Section 9 of this
Warrant. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 9 to
the contrary, if a reduction in the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 9(e)(i)
would require the Company to obtain stockholder approval of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule
4350(i) and such stockholder approval has not been obtained, the Exercise Price
shall be reduced to the maximum extent that would not require stockholder
approval under such Rule.
(f) Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for
the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be
considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(g) Notice of
Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this
Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the
Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the
terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment,
including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type
of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as
applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon
written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such
certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.
(h) Notice of Corporate
Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a
dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in
respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company
or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement
contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction
or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof
shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of
such transaction at least ten (10) business days prior to the applicable record
or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to
participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the
failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the
validity of the corporate action required to be described in such
notice.
10. Payment of Exercise
Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available
funds; provided,
however, that if, on any Exercise Date there is not an effective
Registration Statement (as defined in that certain Registration Rights
Agreement, of even date herewith, by and among the Company and the several
purchasers signatory thereto) registering, or no current prospectus available
for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then the Holder may, in its
sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a
“cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the
number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
X = Y
[(A-B)/A]
where:
X = the
number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the
total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being
exercised.
A = the
average of the Closing Sale Prices of a share of Common Stock (as reported by
Bloomberg Financial Markets) for the five (5) Trading Days ending on the date
immediately preceding the Exercise Date.
B = the
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of
such exercise.
For
purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Sale Price” means,
for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the
principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, as reported
by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if such exchange or trading market begins to
operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the last trade price,
then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City
time, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or if the foregoing do not
apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on
the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg
Financial Markets, or, if no last trade price is reported for such security by
Bloomberg Financial Markets, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices,
respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the "pink
sheets" by Pink Sheets LLC. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be
calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases,
the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market
value as
mutually
determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the
Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then the
Board of Directors of the Company shall use its good faith judgment to determine
the fair market value. The Board of Directors’ determination shall be
binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. All such
determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock
split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable
calculation period.
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 original
Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have
commenced as to such original Holder, on the date this Warrant was originally
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (provided that the Commission
continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such
exercise).
11. Limitations on
Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of
this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent
necessary to ensure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total
number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock
would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial
ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each delivery of an
Exercise Notice by the Holder will constitute a representation by the Holder
that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this Section 11 and determined
that issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in such Exercise
Notice is permitted under this Section 11. The Company’s obligation
to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this
Section 11 shall be suspended (and, except as provided below, shall not
terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof) until such
time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in compliance with
such limitation; provided, that, if, as of 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on the
Expiration Date, the Company has not received written notice that the shares of
Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such limitation, the Company’s
obligation to issue such shares shall terminate. This provision shall
not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or
beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other
consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental
Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant. By written
notice to the Company, which will not be effective until the 61st day
after such notice is delivered to the Company, the Holder may waive the
provisions of this Section 11 to change the beneficial ownership limitation to
9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this
Warrant, and the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue to apply. Upon
such a change by a Holder of the beneficial ownership limitation from such 4.99%
limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the beneficial ownership limitation may not
be further waived by such Holder.
12. No Fractional Shares.
No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of
this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise
be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to
the next whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair
market value (based on the Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional
shares.
13. Notices. Any and all
notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without
limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given
and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in
the Purchase Agreement prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day,
(ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in
the Purchase Agreement on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30
P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following
the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service
specifying next business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party
to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. The address
and facsimile number of a party for such notices or communications shall be as
set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless changed by such party by two (2)
Trading Days’ prior notice to the other party in accordance with this Section
13.
14. Warrant Agent. The
Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days’
notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any
corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any
corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new
warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any
new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or
shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this
Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly
cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class
mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on
the Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as a
Stockholder. The Holder, solely in such Person's
capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive
dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any
purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer
upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant,
any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or
withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of
stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, amalgamation,
conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or
subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the
Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due
exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall
be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any
securities, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors
of the Company.
(b) Successors and
Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in
this Warrant and in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, and compliance with
applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This
Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the
Holder except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This
Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence,
nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the
Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action
under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the
Company and the Holder, or their successors and assigns.
(c) Amendment and
Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of
the Warrants may be amended and the Company may take any action herein
prohibited, or omit
to
perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has
obtained the written consent of the Holders of Warrants representing a majority
of the Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants then
outstanding.
(d) Acceptance. Receipt
of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to
all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
(e) Governing Law;
Jurisdiction. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF. 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

THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), 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. EACH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO
PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY
THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF
DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THE

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 WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY
JURY.
(d) Headings. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
(e) Severability. In
case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining
terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or

(a) On or
prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the
Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective
Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415 or, if Rule 415 is not available for offers and sales of the
Registrable Securities, by such other means of distribution of Registrable
Securities as the Holders may reasonably specify (the “Initial Registration
Statement”). The Initial Registration Statement shall be on
Form S-3 (except if the Company is then ineligible to register for resale of the
Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on
such other form available to register for resale of the Registrable Securities
as a secondary offering) subject to the provisions of Section 2(f) and shall
contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from
the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) the “Plan of
Distribution” section attached hereto as Annex
A. Notwithstanding the registration obligations
set forth in this Section 2, in the event the Commission informs the Company
that all of the Registrable Securities (including all of the Olympus Registrable
Securities) cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered
for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the
Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders
thereof
and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial
Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the
Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”),
in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted
to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to
register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior
to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be
obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the
Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, the Manual of
Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages in
Section 2(c), if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of
Registrable Securities (including any Olympus Registrable Securities) permitted
to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering
(and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the
Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable
Securities (including any Olympus Registrable Securities)), unless otherwise
directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of
Registrable Securities (including any Olympus Registrable Securities) to be
registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by Registrable
Securities (including any Olympus Registrable Securities) not acquired pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement or the Olympus Purchase Agreement (whether pursuant to
registration rights or otherwise), second by Registrable Securities (including
any Olympus Registrable Securities) represented by Warrant Shares (applied, in
the case that some Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Holders (including
Olympus) on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant
Shares held by such Holders (including Olympus)) and third by Registrable
Securities (including any Olympus Registrable Securities) represented by Shares
(applied, in the case that some Shares may be registered, to the Holders
(including Olympus) on a pro rata basis based on the total number of
unregistered Shares held by such Holders (including Olympus), subject to a
determination by the Commission that certain Holders (including Olympus) must be
reduced first based on the number of Shares held by such Holders (including
Olympus)). In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration
Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under
clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable
efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC
Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one
or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to
register for resale those Registrable Securities (including any Olympus
Registrable Securities) that were not registered for resale on the Initial
Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the
“Remainder Registration
Statements”).
(b) The
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable and,
with respect to the Initial Registration Statement or the New Registration
Statement, as applicable, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline (including
filing with the Commission a request for acceleration of effectiveness in
accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within five (5)
Business Days after the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing,
whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will
not be “reviewed,” or not be subject to further review and the effectiveness of
such Registration Statement may be accelerated), and shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective
under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been publicly
sold by the Holders or (ii) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement may be sold by non-affiliates without volume or
manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144, without the requirement for the
Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements
under Rule 144, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written
opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the
Company’s transfer agent and the effected Holders (the “Effectiveness
Period”). The Company shall request effectiveness of a
Registration
Statement
as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a Trading Day. The Company
shall promptly notify the Holders via facsimile or electronic mail of a “.pdf”
format data file of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement within one (1)
business day of the Effective Date. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. New York
City time on the first Trading Day after the Effective Date, file a final
Prospectus with the Commission, as required by Rule 424(b).
(c) If:
(i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission on or
prior to the Filing Deadline, (ii) the Initial Registration Statement or the New
Registration Statement, as applicable, is not declared effective by the
Commission (or otherwise does not become effective) for any reason on or prior
to the Effectiveness Deadline or (iii) after its Effective Date, (A) such
Registration Statement ceases for any reason (including without limitation by
reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the Registration
Statement), to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities
for which it is required to be effective or (B) the Holders are not permitted to
utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, in the
case of (A) and (B), for more than an aggregate of 30 Trading Days (which need
not be consecutive) during any 12 month period (other than during an Allowable
Grace Period (as defined in Section 2(e) of this Agreement)), (iv) a Grace
Period (as defined in Section 2(e) of this Agreement) exceeds the length of an
Allowable Grace Period, or (v) after the date six months following the Closing
Date, the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under Section
13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act such that it is not in compliance with Rule
144(c)(1) as a result of which the Holders who are not affiliates are unable to
sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (or any successor
thereto) (any such failure or breach in clauses (i) through (v) above being
referred to as an “Event,” and, for purposes of
clauses (i), (ii) or (v), the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes
of clause (iii), the date on which such 30 Trading Day period is exceeded, or
for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such Allowable Grace Period is
exceeded, being referred to as an “Event Date”), then in lieu of
any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each
such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the
applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable
Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty (“Liquidated Damages”), equal
to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement for any Registrable Securities held by such Holder on the
Event Date (which remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedies available
under this Agreement or under applicable law). The parties agree that
(1) the Company will not be liable for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement
with respect to any Warrants or Warrant Shares, (2) notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein or in the Purchase Agreement, no Liquidated Damages shall be
payable with respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness
Period (it being understood that this sentence shall not relieve the Company of
any Liquidated Damages accruing prior to the Effectiveness Period), and in no
event shall, the aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages payable to a Holder
exceed, in the aggregate, twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate purchase price
paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (3) in no event shall
the Company be liable in any 30-day period for Liquidated Damages under this
Agreement in excess of 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Holders
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement If the Company fails to pay any
Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section 2(c) in full within five (5)
Business Days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a
rate of 1.5% per month (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be
paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such
Liquidated Damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon,
are paid in full. The Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof
shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the
cure of an Event, except in the case of the first Event Date. The
Effectiveness Deadline for a Registration Statement shall be extended without
default or Liquidated Damages hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure
to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis
results from (i) the failure of a Purchaser to timely provide the Company
with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the
Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act
(in which the Effectiveness Deadline would be
extended
with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser) or (ii) events or
circumstances that are not in any way attributable to the Company.
(d) Each
Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire not more than five (5) Trading Days following the date of this
Agreement. At least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the first anticipated filing
date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the
Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from
that Holder other than the information contained in the Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire, if any, which shall be completed and delivered to the Company
promptly upon request and, in any event, within three (3) Trading Days prior to
the applicable anticipated filing date. Each Holder further agrees
that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the
Registration Statement or use the Prospectus for offers and resales of
Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned to the
Company a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire and a response
to any requests for further information as described in the previous sentence.
If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire or a request for further information, in either case, after its
respective deadline, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
at the expense of the Holder who failed to return the Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire or to respond for further information to take such actions as are
required to name such Holder as a selling security holder in the Registration
Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to
include (to the extent not theretofore included) in the Registration Statement
the Registrable Securities identified in such late Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire or request for further information. Each Holder acknowledges and
agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request
for further information as described in this Section 2(d) will be used by the
Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to
the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Registration Statement
has been declared effective by the Commission, the Company may delay the
disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company if the
disclosure of such information at the time is not, in the good faith judgment of
the Company, in the best interests of the Company (a “Grace Period”); provided, however, the
Company shall promptly (i) notify the Holders in writing of the existence of
material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that the
Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public information
to the Holders) or the need to file a post-effective amendment, as applicable,
and the date on which such Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Holders
in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; provided, further, that no
single Grace Period shall exceed twenty (20) consecutive days, and during any
three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, the aggregate of all Grace Periods
shall not exceed an aggregate of forty (40) days (each Grace Period complying
with this provision being an “Allowable Grace
Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a
Grace Period, the Grace Period shall be deemed to begin on and include the date
the Holders receive the notice referred to in clause (i) above and shall end on
and include the later of the date the Holders receive the notice referred to in
clause (ii) above and the date referred to in such notice; provided, however, that no
Grace Period shall be longer than an Allowable Grace
Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the
Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended Common Stock to a
transferee of a Holder in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a
Holder has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Holder’s receipt of the
notice of a Grace Period and for which the Holder has not yet
settled.
shall
maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until
such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable
Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.
3. Registration
Procedures
In
connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company
shall:
(a) Not less
than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement and
not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K,
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and any similar
or successor reports), the Company shall, furnish to the Holder copies of such
Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as
proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such
Holder (it being acknowledged and agreed that if a Holder does not object to or
comment on the aforementioned documents within such five (5) Trading Day or one
(1) Trading Day period, as the case may be, then the Holder shall be deemed to
have consented to and approved the use of such documents). The
Company shall not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement
thereto in a form to which a Holder reasonably objects in good faith, provided
that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing within the five (5)
Trading Day or one (1) Trading Day period described above, as
applicable.
(b) (i) Prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration
Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for
its Effectiveness Period (except during an Allowable Grace Period); (ii) cause
the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus
supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or
amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (except during an Allowable Grace
Period); (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments
received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any
amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, provide the Holders
true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission
relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to the Holders as “Selling
Stockholders” but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to the
Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv)
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
shall have been disposed of (subject to the terms of this Agreement) in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof as
set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as
so supplemented; provided,
however, that each Purchaser shall be responsible for the delivery of the
Prospectus to the Persons to whom such Purchaser sells any of the Shares or
Warrant Shares (including in accordance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act),
and each Purchaser agrees to dispose of Registrable Securities in compliance
with the plan of distribution described in the Registration Statement and
otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. In
the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are
required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this
Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q
or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall
have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if
applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the Commission on
the same day on which the Exchange Act report which created the requirement for
the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement was
filed.
(c) Notify
the Holders (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (v) hereof,
be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the
requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in
the case of (i)(A) below, not less than two Trading Days prior to such filing,
in the case of (iii) and (iv) below, not more than one Trading Day after such
issuance or receipt, and in the case of (v) below, not more than one Trading Day
after the occurrence or existence of such development) and (if requested by any
such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day
following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed;
(B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of
such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on
any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall provide to each of
the Holders true and complete copies of all comments that pertain to the Holders
as a “Selling Stockholder” or to the “Plan of Distribution” and all written
responses thereto, but not information that the Company believes would
constitute material and non-public information); and (C) with respect to each
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state
governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains to the Holders as
“Selling Stockholders” or the “Plan of Distribution”; (iii) of the issuance by
the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or
all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that
purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any
event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a
Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in
such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that
requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus
or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made), not misleading.
(d) Use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain
the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from
qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, as soon as practicable.
(e) If
requested by a Holder, furnish to such Holder, without charge, at least one
conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all
exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously
furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such
documents with the Commission; provided, that the Company
shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is
available on the Commission’s EDGAR system.
(f) Prior to
any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders
in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the
registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by
the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within
the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each
registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the
Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably
necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities
covered
by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company
shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in
any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent
to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(g) If
requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to
be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which
certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement
and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable
Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such
Holders may reasonably request.
(h) Following
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(iii)-(v), as promptly
as reasonably practicable (taking into account the Company’s good faith
assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of
the premature disclosure of such event), prepare a supplement or amendment,
including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or
a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will
contain 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 any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading.
(i) The
Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified
statement as to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
such Holder and any Affiliate thereof, (ii) any Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”)
affiliations, (iii) any natural persons who have the power to vote or dispose of
the Common Stock and (iv) any other information as may be requested by the
Commission, FINRA or any state securities commission. During any periods that
the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the
registration of Registrable Securities because any Holder fails to furnish such
information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any Liquidated
Damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled
and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be
suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the
Company.
(j) The
Company shall cooperate with any registered broker through which a Holder
proposes to resell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA
pursuant to NASD Rule 2710 as requested by any such Holder and the Company shall
pay the filing fee required for the first such filing within two (2) Business
Days of the request therefore.
4. Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s
performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Agreement
(excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees
and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder) shall be borne by the Company
whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing
sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings
required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then
listed for trading, (B) with respect to compliance with applicable state
securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky
qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and determination of
the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of
such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders) and (C) if not previously paid
by the Company in connection with an Issuer Filing, with respect to any filing
that may be required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to
make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA
pursuant
to the NASD Rule 2710, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a
customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale, (ii) printing
expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for
Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of
prospectuses is reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger,
telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such
insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the
Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all
of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all
salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any
securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the
Company be responsible for any underwriting, broker or similar fees or
commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the
Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the
Holders.
5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the
Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of
this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, the officers,
directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, Affiliates and
employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents
and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of
preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses
(collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that
arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any
form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus
or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such
untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are
based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such
information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved by such
Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such
form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being
understood that each Holder has approved Annex A hereto for
this purpose), (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type
specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(v), related to the use by a Holder of an
outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in
writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by
such Holder of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 6(d) below, but
only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the Advice the
misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected or
(C) any such Losses arise out of the Purchaser’s (or any other indemnified
Person’s) failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as
then amended or supplemented), if required, to the Persons asserting an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of
Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was
corrected in such Prospectus or supplement. The Company shall notify
the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding
arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of
an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c)) and shall survive the transfer
of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.
(b) Indemnification by
Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person
who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or
employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are
based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in
the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are
based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s
proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and
approved by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being
understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for
this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type
specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(v), to the extent, but only to the extent,
related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after
the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated
or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated
in Section 6(d). In no event shall the liability of any selling
Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise
to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any
Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought
(the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and
expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of
any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and
only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review)
that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest exists if the
same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
(in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in
writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume
the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party); provided, that
the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all
Indemnified
Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, all fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party
(including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection
with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not
inconsistent with this Section 5(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as
incurred, within twenty Trading Days of written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party; provided, that the
Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that
portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such
Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to
indemnification hereunder). The failure to deliver written notice to the
Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the
Indemnified Party under this Section 5, except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to
defend such action.
(d) Contribution. If
a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any
Losses, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified
Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party
as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection
with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of
such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by,
such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations
set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees
or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the
extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in this Section 5(d) was available to such party in
accordance with its terms.
The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no
Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess
of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from
the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the
amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in
addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the
Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the
indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In
the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their obligations
under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this
Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each
Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for
any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this
Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No Piggyback on
Registrations; Prohibit on Filing Other Registration
Statements. Except and to the extent required pursuant to
agreements or arrangements identified in Schedule 3.1(y) to the Purchase
Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the
Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company
in a Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities and the
Olympus Registrable Securities and the Company shall not prior to the Effective
Date enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security
holders. The Company shall not, from the date hereof until the date that is 30
days after the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement, prepare and
file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for
its own account under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other
than (i) a registration statement on Form S-8, (ii) in connection with an
acquisition, on Form S-4 or (iii) a registration statement to register for
resale securities issued by the Company pursuant to acquisitions or strategic
transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the
Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person which is,
itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business
synergistic with the business of the Company and in which the Company receives
benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a
transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose
of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in
securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be
prohibited from preparing and filing with the Commission a registration
statement relating to an offering of Common Stock by existing stockholders of
the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms of registration
rights held by such stockholder or from filing amendments to registration
statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement.
(c) Compliance. Each
Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption
therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities
only in accordance with a method of distribution described in the Registration
Statement
(d) Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities,
each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii)-(v), such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities
under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that
the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or
amended) may be resumed. The Company may provide
appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this
paragraph.
(e) No Inconsistent
Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, on or after the date hereof, enter into any agreement with respect
to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to
the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof.
(f) Amendments and
Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, or
waived unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and Holders
holding at least two-thirds of the then outstanding Registrable Securities,
provided that any party may give a waiver as to
itself. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent
to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly
affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of all of the
Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions
of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in
accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence.
(g) Notices. Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to
be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.
(h) Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and
shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. Nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties
hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement. The Company may not assign its
rights (except by merger or in connection with another entity acquiring all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets) or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of all the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable
Securities. Each Holder may assign its respective rights hereunder in
the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase
Agreement.
(i) Execution and
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not
sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format
data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same
force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature were the original
thereof.
(j) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
(k) Cumulative
Remedies. Except as provided in Section 2(c) with respect to
Liquidated Damages, the remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
(l) Severability. If any
term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their good faith reasonable
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be
the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(m) Headings. The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not limit or
otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(n) Independent Nature of
Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of
any other Purchaser hereunder, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way
for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser
hereunder. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase the Shares
pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made independently of any other
Purchaser. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document
delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto
or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert with respect to
such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has
acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment
hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in
connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares and Warrants or
enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be
entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Purchasers has
been provided with the same Registration Rights Agreement for the purpose of
closing a transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required
or requested to do so by any Purchaser.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Registration Rights Agreement as
of the date first written above.

Annex A
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the Common Stock
issued to the selling stockholders and issuable upon exercise of warrants issued
to the selling stockholders to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock
by the holders of the Common Stock from time to time after the date of this
prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by
the selling stockholders of the Common Stock. We will bear all fees
and expenses incident to our obligation to register the Common
Stock.
The
selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the Common Stock beneficially
owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or
more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the Common Stock is
sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be
responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's
commissions. The Common Stock may be sold on any national securities
exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at
the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise
than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in one
or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of
the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated
prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses
or block transactions. The selling stockholders may use any one or
more of the following methods when selling shares:
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
·
|
settlement
of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a
part;
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
·
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether such options are listed on an options exchange or
otherwise;
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
and
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open
market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as
permitted by that rule, or Section 4(1) under the Securities Act, if available,
rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and
conform to the requirements of those provisions.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to
participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by
selling Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or
commissions from purchasers of the Common Stock for whom they may act as agent
or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be
negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the
case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage
commission in compliance with NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal
transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.
In
connection with sales of the Common Stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders
may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the
course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders
may also sell Common Stock short and if such short sale shall take place after
the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission, the selling stockholders may deliver Common Stock covered by this
prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in
connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also
loan or pledge Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares,
to the extent permitted by applicable law. The selling stockholders may also
enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require
the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares
offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial
institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended
to reflect such transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the selling
stockholders have been advised that they may not use shares registered on this
registration statement to cover short sales of our Common Stock made prior to
the date the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, has
been declared effective by the SEC.
The
selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest
in some or all of the Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the
performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may
offer and sell the Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or
any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the
list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other
successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the
Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees,
pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners
for purposes of this prospectus.
The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealer or agents participating in the
distribution of the Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales. In such event, any commissions paid, or any discounts or
concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the
resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Selling Stockholders who are
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be
subject to the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not
limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange
Act.
Each
selling stockholder has informed the Company that it is not a registered
broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common
Stock. Upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling
stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a
broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special
offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a
broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required,
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act,
disclosing
(i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating
broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which
such the Common Stock was sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or
concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such
broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set
out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts
material to the transaction. In no event shall any broker-dealer
receive fees, commissions and markups, which, in the aggregate, would exceed
eight percent (8%).
Under the
securities laws of some states, the Common Stock may be sold in such states only
through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in
some states the Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been
registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration
or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can
be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the Common
Stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this
prospectus forms a part.
Each
selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will
be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which
may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Common Stock by the
selling stockholder and any other participating person. To the extent
applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in
the distribution of the Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with
respect to the Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of the Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to
engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common
Stock.
We will
pay all expenses of the registration of the Common Stock pursuant to the
registration rights agreement, including, without limitation, Securities and
Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities
or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that each selling
stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any
and any related legal expenses incurred by it. We will indemnify the
selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including some liabilities
under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreement,
or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may
be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written
information furnished to us by the selling stockholders specifically for use in
this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements,
or we may be entitled to contribution.

The

A.65 of the July 1997 SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations
regarding short selling:
“An
Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of
common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling
stockholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and
cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective
date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made
before the registration statement become effective, because the shares
underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is
made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the
shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”
By
returning this Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be aware of the
foregoing interpretation.
I confirm
that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the foregoing statements
(including without limitation the answers to this Questionnaire) are
correct.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this
Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly
authorized agent.

Exhibit
99.1
Cytori
to Raise $17 Million in Private Placement with Olympus and Institutional
Investors
San Diego, CA, August 8, 2008
- -- Cytori Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX) is to raise approximately $17
million from a private placement financing led by Olympus Corporation (TSE:
7733) with participation from select institutional investors. Net proceeds are
expected to be approximately $16.4 million after offering-related fees
and expenses.
Cytori entered into
agreements to issue a total of 2.83 million
shares of common stock with 50% warrant coverage at $6.00 per unit. The warrants
will be exercisable for up to a total of 1.42 million shares of common stock at
an exercise price of $8.50 per share. The warrants will have a five year
term and will be exercisable no sooner than six months following the closing of
this transaction. Olympus, as the lead investor, will purchase one million
shares and warrants exercisable for up to an additional
500,000 shares. Olympus entered into a separate purchase agreement with
Cytori and is expected to fund its purchase of the securities on or about August
8, 2008. The closing with respect to the other investors is expected to take
place on or about August 11, 2008, subject to the satisfaction of customary
closing conditions.
Cytori
intends to use the proceeds to expand commercialization activities for its
Celution® 800/CRS
System in Europe and Asia Pacific and global marketing efforts for the Company’s
Celution System-based StemSource® Cell
Bank business. In addition, the proceeds will be used for funding the Company’s
product development, clinical trials, working capital, and general corporate
purposes.
Piper
Jaffray & Co. served as the exclusive placement agent for all securities
offered as part of the financing other than those offered to Olympus. This press
release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy, nor shall there be any sales of these securities in any jurisdiction in
which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. The securities to be sold in the private placement have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities
laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or
an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The securities were
offered and will be sold only to a limited number of accredited investors.
Cytori has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to cover the resale by the investors of the shares of common
stock issued in the private placement and issuable upon exercise of the warrants
issued in the private placement.
About
Cytori
Cytori’s
(NASDAQ: CYTX) goal is to be the global leader in regenerative medicine. The
company is dedicated to providing patients with new options for reconstructive
surgery, developing treatments for cardiovascular disease, and banking patients'
adult stem and regenerative cells. The Celution® 800
System is being introduced in Europe and Asia Pacific into the reconstructive
surgery market while the Celution® 900
System is being commercialized globally for cryopreserving a patient's own stem
and regenerative cells. Clinical trials are ongoing in cardiovascular disease
and planned for spinal disc degeneration, gastrointestinal disorders, and other
unmet medical needs. www.cytoritx.com
