SECTION 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information set forth in Item 2.03 is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
SECTION 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On October 5, 2010, we issued a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000 to Physicians Interactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Investor”). The Investor also received a seven year warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share and a contingent seven year warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.00 based on royalties we may receive under a Strategic Partnering Agreement we entered into with Physicians Interactive Holdings, LLC (together the “Warrants”).
The Note accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded on April and October each year, which will be paid together with the repayment of the principal amount at the earliest of (i) September 12, 2012; (ii) prepayment of the Note at our option (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note); or (iv) the “Maturity Date” as defined in our Certificate of Designation for our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Notes and Warrants were issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 5, 2010 with the Investor. The Investor is entitled to certain contractual benefits under the Purchase Agreement, which are summarized as follows:
§
|
Until June 4, 2012 or until prepayment in full of all obligations under the Note, the right, subject to certain exceptions, to participate in any subsequent sale of our common stock or any securities convertible into our common stock up to 30% of the amount of the financing;
|
§
|
At any time when the Note is outstanding, the right to nominate a designee of Investor for election to our Board of Directors and to provide such nominee with D&O insurance coverage;
|
§
|
At any time when the Note is outstanding, we are prohibited from: issuing dividends or repurchasing our outstanding shares, incurring certain indebtedness, issuing securities that are senior to the Note; disposing of 20% of our assets; incurring a change in control; increasing the authorized size of our Board of Directors; entering into certain transactions with affiliates; or registering certain shares; and
|
§
|
Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Investor may at any time (unless all defaults shall theretofore have been remedied) require us to pay immediately 125% of the sum of all unpaid principal on the Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts payable thereunder.
|
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Corporation, a Michigan corporation (the “Guarantor”), entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) with Investor to guarantee the prompt and complete payment when due of all principal, interest and other amounts under the Note. The obligations under the Guaranty are independent of our obligations under the Note and separate actions may be brought against the Guarantor.
Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust, a unit trust organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Vicis”) was instrumental in facilitating our $1,000,000 financing transaction with Investor by participating and by making certain concessions in our transaction documents with the Investor. As previously reported, we entered into two financing transactions with Vicis. The first was a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dated as of September 8, 2008 and the second was a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 4, 2010 for the sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Vicis Financings”). In connection with the Vicis Financings, we granted Vicis a security interest in our assets and further agree
d to register certain shares brought about by the financings. In order to induce the Investor to enter into an agreement with us, Vicis agreed to modify its security agreement and registration rights agreement.
Specifically, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement with Vicis and the Investor, which granted the parties a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The Guarantor also entered into a Second Amended and Restated Guarantor Security Agreement with Vicis and the Investor, which granted the parties a security interest in substantially all of the Guarantor’s assets.
We further entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with Vicis and the Investor to file a registration statement upon demand to cover the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor’s Warrants, the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of Vicis’ Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and the shares of our common stock issuable as dividends on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
We were also a party to a Securityholders’ Agreement where Vicis and the Investor contracted over matters including, the maturity date for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, preemptive rights for future financings, and voting rights for nominee directors. Finally, we were a party to an Intercreditor Agreement where Vicis and the Investor contracted over matters including, confirming the relative priority with respect to our collateral assets, providing for the orderly sharing of the proceeds of such assets, and agreeing upon the terms of the subordination of our obligations.
The description of the transactions contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Note, the Warrants, the Purchase Agreement, the Guarantee, Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note, Security and Purchase Agreement, Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement, Second Amended and Restated Guarantor Security Agreement, Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, Securityholders’ Agreement, and Intercreditor Agreement filed as Exhibits 10.1 - 10.12, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

(the “Lender”) or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Principal Sum”) together with interest on the outstanding portion of the Principal Sum from the date hereof until the date on which the entire Principal Sum is paid in full at a rate equal to 6.0% per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year consisting of 365 da
ys and compounding on each April and October of each year. The obligations of the Company hereunder are secured by that certain Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, the Lender and Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) (the “Security Agreement”).
This Note is issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Lender. The Holder is subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and shall be entitled to certain rights and privileges set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
1. Loan. The Holder hereby loans to the Company on the date hereof the Principal Sum.
2. Payments; Maturity Date. All unpaid principal, together with any accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur (the “Maturity Date”) of (i) October 5, 2012, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), or (iii) the “Maturity Date,” as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, of the Corporation’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. All obligations pa
yable under this Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States.
3. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid as a whole or in part at any time at the election of the Company. Any such prepayment amount shall be applied first to the payment of expenses due under this Note, second to interest accrued on the portion of this Note so prepaid and third, if the amount of prepayment exceeds the amount of all such expenses and accrued interest, to the payment of principal of this Note.
4. Change in Control. If the Company enters into a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in Section 8.7 of the Purchase Agreement) prior to the Maturity Date, then the Company shall provide 10 days prior written notice of such Change of Control Transaction to the Holder of this Note.

ce given to the Company within 10 days of such Holder receiving notice of any such Change of Control Transaction.

OF
OPTIMIZERx CORPORATION
Expires October 5, 2017
No.: W-C-01 Number of Shares: 1,000,000
Date of Issuance: October 5, 2010
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, OptimizeRx Corporation, a Nevada corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), hereby certifies that Physicians Interactive Inc. or its registered assigns is entitled to subscribe for and purchase, during the Term (as hereinafter defined), up to 1,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This Warrant has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October 5, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and the purchaser(s) listed therein. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement. Certain other capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 8 hereof.
1. Term. The term of this Warrant shall commence on October 5, 2010 (the “Date of Issuance”) and shall expire at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date that is seven years after the Date of Issuance hereof (such period being the “Term”).
2. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part during the Term beginning on the date of issuance hereof.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company, (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Sect
ion 2, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is not then in effect, or (iii) when permitted by clause (ii), by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant.
(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing six-months following the Original Issue Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is not in effect in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement at the time of exercise, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below
) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X=Y-[(A)(Y)/B]
Where
|
X =
Y =
A =
B =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
|
(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Warrant Shares so purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Company and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to par
tial exercises of this Warrant, the Company shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of Warrant Shares exercised as of each date of exercise.
(e) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.
(i) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, for each $500 of Warrant Shares (based on the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Company’s transfer agent), $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per Trading Day five Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue and increasing to $15 per Trading Day ten Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each
Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such certificate is delivered (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw an Exercise Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Company shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 2(e)(i) through the date the Exercise Notice is withdrawn.
(ii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (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 (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,0
00. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(f) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 2(h) hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, subject only to the restrictions specified in the Purchase Agreement. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This War
rant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Company for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(g) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Company will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, 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 OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A 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 T
HE SECURITIES.
(iii) The Company agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
nd has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three Trading Days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 2(h), the Company will use reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 2(h) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder by crediting the a
ccount of the Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement).
(i) No Mandatory Redemption. This Warrant may not be called or redeemed by the Company without the written consent of the Holder.
3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Company represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to at least 10
0% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Company will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Company shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, and maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all Warrant Shares from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Shares have been registered pursuant to a registration statement then in effect under the Securities Act), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued Warrant Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Company will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Company.
(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
(d) Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates representing Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder in respect to which such shares are issued.
4. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. The Warrant Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividi
ng the product thereof by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.
(a) If the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 4 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, t
he Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Price under this Section 4, the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (defined below) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities (defined below) issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then all of such shares of Common Stock underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 4(a), the “lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the price of conversion shall be made upon the actual issuance and/or sale of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance and/or sale of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities. “Convertible Security” or “Convertible Securities” means any stock or other securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, and “Option” or “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 4(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the price of conversion had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 4, no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 4(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are issued are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Price then in effect.
(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount paid by the purchaser of such Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, before any commissions, di
scounts, fees or expenses. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business (including goodwill) of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for non-cash consideration, the consideration received therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such non-cash consideration as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Price then in effect.
(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the 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.
(b) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity-equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller n
umber of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Volume-Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the board of directors of the Company in good faith. The adjustment shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(d) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, there is a Fundamental Transaction (defined below), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, (a) the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a resu
lt of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all-cash transaction, cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model 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 100-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg for the 100-day period ending on the date of the Change of Control Redemption Notice. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Warrant Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction
, and the Company shall apportion the Warrant Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the
provisions of this Section 4(d) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. “Fundamental Transaction” means that the Company shall, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, (i) consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation) another Person, or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company to another Person, or (iii) allow another Person or Persons to make a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock (not including any shares of Voting Stock held by the Person or Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the Person or Persons making or party
to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer), or (iv) consummate a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than the 50% of either the outstanding shares of Voting Stock (not including any shares of Voting Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), or (v) reorganize, recapitalize or reclassify its Common Stock, or (vi) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Voting Stock of the Company. “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind. “Voting Stock” of a Person means capital stock of such Person of the class or classes pursuant to which the holders thereof have the general voting power to elect, or the general power to appoint, at least a majority of the board of directors, managers or trustees of such Person (irrespective of whether or not at the time capital stock of any other class or classes shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency).
(e) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors in good faith will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Price so as to be equitable under the circumstances and otherwise protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Warrant Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 4, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(g) Exceptions to Adjustment of Warrant Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustments set forth in this Section 4 shall not apply in respect to the issuance of the following (each, a “Permitted Issuance”):
(i) shares of Common Stock or Options issued or issuable in connection with any Approved Stock Plan (defined below), provided that the aggregate amount of Common Stock and Options issued and issuable under all such plans does not exceed 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company;
(ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of any Options or Convertible Securities that are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, provided that the terms of such Options or Convertible Securities are not amended, modified or changed on or after the Closing Date to lower the conversion or exercise price thereof and so long as the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such securities is not otherwise increased; and
(iii) shares of Common Stock issued in an underwritten public offering in which the gross cash proceeds to the Company (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least $10,000,000.
For purposes of this Warrant, “Approved Stock Plan” means any employee benefit plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company’s securities may be issued to any employee, consultant, officer or director for services provided to the Company
(h) Redemption Right. No sooner than 15 days nor later than ten days prior to the consummation of a corporate change that constitutes a change of control, but not prior to the public announcement of such change of control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending ten Trading Days after the consummation of such change of control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem
all or any portion of this Warrant by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount the Holder is electing to be redeemed. Any such redemption shall be in cash in the amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting (A) 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 (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg for the 100-day period ending on the date of the Change of Control Redemption Notice.
5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 hereof (for purposes of this Section 5, each an “adjustment”), the Company shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of
such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Company and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Holder, provided that the Company shall have ten days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Company shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Company and such Holder within 30 days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.

7. Ownership Caps and Certain Exercise Restrictions.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise any portion of this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon a holder o

In all circumstances, exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that such exercise conforms to the provisions of this Section 7(a) and the Company shall be under no obligation to verify or ascertain compliance by the Holder with this provision.
(b) The Holder may not exercise the Warrant hereunder to the extent such exercise would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant held by the Holder after application of this Section; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Company with a Waiver Notice that such holder would like to waive this Section 7(b) with regard to any or all shares of Commo
n Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 7(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those Warrant Shares referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the 61 days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant.

SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
OF
OPTIMIZERx CORPORATION
Expires: See Section 1
No.: W-C-02 Number of Shares: See Section 2(a)
Date of Issuance: October 5, 2010
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, OptimizeRx Corporation, a Nevada corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”), hereby certifies that Physicians Interactive Inc. (“PI”) or its registered assigns is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to subscribe for and purchase at any time on or after the date this Warrant becomes exercisable pursuant to Section 2 below, up to the number of shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) set forth in Section 2, below, at a purchase price equal to the Wa
rrant Price then in effect, subject, however, to the provisions and upon the term and conditions hereinafter set forth. This Warrant has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of September __, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and the Purchaser. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in Section 9 hereof.
1. Expiration. This Warrant shall expire at 6:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date that is seven years after the Date of Issuance (the “Expiration Date”).
2. Warrant Shares; Vesting and Exercise Period.
(a) Calculation of Shares. As of the Date of Issuance of this Warrant, this Warrant does not entitle the Holder to purchase any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company; provided, however, that this Warrant shall entitle the Holder to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share, at an exercise price equal to the Warrant Price then in effect according to the following:
(i)
|
If the PI Revenue Contribution exceeds 25%, but is less than 40%, of the Company’s total revenue in 2011, then the Holder shall be entitled to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company; or
|
(ii)
|
If the PI Revenue Contribution is equal to or greater than 40% of the Company’s total revenue in 2011, then the Holder shall be entitled to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company; or
|
(iii)
|
If the PI Revenue Contribution exceeds $4 million in 2011, then the Holder shall be entitled to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
|
For purposes of clarity, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder under this Section 2(a) shall be 1,000,000, even if the conditions in both 2(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iii) above are satisfied.
For purposes of this calculation, the “PI Revenue Contribution” shall mean all revenue earned by the Company or its subsidiaries from royalties, fees or revenues received by the Company in connection with the Strategic Partnering Agreement dated September __, 2010 (the “Partnership Agreement”), including without limitation (w) all royalties and fees paid by PIH to the Company under the Partnership Agreement, (x) all revenues for Vouchers or other products of the Company that are distributed through PIH Solutions or Combined Solutions, (y) all revenues earned arising from Vouchers or other products of the Company that are distributed through a SampleMD Solution to a physician who first a
ccesses such products through PIH Solutions or Combined Solutions and (z) all revenues earned arising from Vouchers or other products of the Company that are distributed through the SampleMD Widget to a physician who first downloaded the SampleMD Widget through PIH Solutions or Combined Solutions. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this paragraph shall have the meanings attributable to such terms in the Partnership Agreement.
(b) Procedure. On or prior to February 28, 2012, the Company will prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to Holder a calculation of the Company’s total revenue for calendar year 2011 and the amount of PI Revenue Contribution, in each case in reasonable detail and, with respect to the calculation of the PI Revenue Contribution, setting forth the amounts attributable to each of the components of the PI Revenue Contribution described in clauses (w) through (z) of the definition of PI Revenue Contribution. Such calculations will be prepared and determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied in a
manner consistent with the past practices of the Company, as applicable. The Holder shall have 45 days during which to review the information provided to it pursuant to the preceding sentence, and during such time shall have reasonable access to the accountants, personnel, properties, books and records, work papers of the Company and its accountants used in preparing such information. If, within such 45-day period, the Holder determines in good faith that the information provided has not been prepared or determined in accordance with this Warrant or is otherwise inaccurate, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company (an “Objection Notice”) within such 45-day period (i) setting forth its proposed changes to such information and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail its basis for disagreement with the Company’s preparation and determination of such information. The failure by the Hol
der to deliver an Objection Notice within such 45-day period will constitute the acceptance by such party of the revenue computation delivered to it by the Company. If the Company and Holder are unable to resolve any disagreement between them with respect to the PI Revenue Contribution within 15 days after the delivery of an Objection Notice (or such longer period as the Company and Holder may agree), the items in dispute shall be referred to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to both the Company and Holder that shall not be the principal accounting or auditing firm of, and shall not have otherwise provided within the past three years any material services to, the Company or the Holder (the “Independent Accountants”). The Independent Accountants shall, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, determine in accordance with this Warrant, and only with respect to the diff
erences submitted to it, whether and to what extent, if any, the PI Revenue Contribution calculation requires adjustment. The Company and Holder shall direct the Independent Accountants to use all reasonable efforts to render its determination within 30 days after such referral. The Independent Accountants’ determination regarding any such adjustment shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding. The Company shall make readily available to the Independent Accountants all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of such parties’ respective accountants) relating to the revenue calculations and all other items reasonably requested by the Independent Accountants. The obligation to pay the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants with respect to its determination shall be allocated between the Company, on the one hand, and/or Holder, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amoun
t not determined in the favor of each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Independent Accountants.
(c) Vesting and Exercise Period. From and after the date on which the PI Revenue Contribution is finally determined (such date, the “Effective Date”), this Warrant shall be fully vested and exercisable in whole or in part by the Holder from and after the Effective Date with respect to the number of Warrant Shares resulting from the calculation set forth in Section 2(a).
3. Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of New Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Time of Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part from and after the Effective Date and no later than the Expiration Date.
(b) Method of Exercise. The Holder hereof may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with the exercise form attached hereto duly executed) at the principal office of the Company, and by the payment to the Company of an amount of consideration therefor equal to the Warrant Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised, payable at such Holder’s election (i) by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company, (ii) by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Sect
ion 3, but only when a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is not then in effect, or (iii) when permitted by clause (ii), by a combination of the foregoing methods of payment selected by the Holder of this Warrant.
(c) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary and commencing six months following the Original Issue Date if (i) the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below) and (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is not in effect in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement at the time of exercise, in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise and shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock equal to an amount (as determined below
) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X=Y-[(A)(Y)/B]
Where
|
X =
Y =
A =
B =
|
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
|
(d) Issuance of Stock Certificates. In the event of any exercise of this Warrant in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased shall be dated the date of such exercise and delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three Trading Days after such exercise (the “Delivery Date”) or, at the request of the Holder (provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect), issued and delivered to the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“DWAC”) within a reasonable time, not exceeding three Trading Days after such exercise, and the Holder hereof shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Warrant Shares so purchased as of the date of such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to the DTC on a holder’s behalf via DWAC if such exercise is in connection with a sale and the Company and its transfer agent are participating in DTC through the DWAC system. The Holder shall deliver this original Warrant, or an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction, at such time that this Warrant is fully exercised. With respect to par
tial exercises of this Warrant, the Company shall keep written records for the Holder of the number of Warrant Shares exercised as of each date of exercise.
(e) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.
(i) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, for each $500 of Warrant Shares (based on the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Company’s transfer agent), $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per Trading Day five Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue and increasing to $15 per Trading Day ten Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each
Trading Day after the Delivery Date until such certificate is delivered (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw an Exercise Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Company shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3(e)(i) through the date the Exercise Notice is withdrawn.
(ii) In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (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 (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,0
00. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. Nothing herein shall limit a 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 this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
(f) Transferability of Warrant. Subject to Section 3(h) hereof, this Warrant may be transferred by a Holder, in whole or in part, subject only to the restrictions specified in the Purchase Agreement. If transferred pursuant to this paragraph, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company by the Holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, properly endorsed (by the Holder executing an assignment in the form attached hereto) and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. This War
rant is exchangeable at the principal office of the Company for Warrants to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as the Holder hereof shall designate at the time of such exchange. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Original Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(g) Continuing Rights of Holder. The Company will, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing the extent, if any, of its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to such Holder.
(h) Compliance with Securities Laws.
(i) The Holder of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement, or an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
(ii) Except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, this Warrant and all certificates representing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise hereof shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, 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 OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A 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 T
HE SECURITIES.
(iii) The Company agrees to reissue this Warrant or certificates representing any of the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer. Such proposed transfer will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of such securities under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission an
d has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, or (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three Trading Days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 3(h), the Company will use reasonable
efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 3(h) shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Warrant. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a the Holder without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to the Holder by crediting the ac
count of the Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its DWAC system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement).
(i) No Mandatory Redemption. This Warrant may not be called or redeemed by the Company without the written consent of the Holder.
4. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation and Listing of Shares; Covenants.
(a) Stock Fully Paid. The Company represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant or otherwise hereunder will, when issued in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by or through the Company. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of the issuance upon exercise of this Warrant a number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to at least 10
0% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise.
(b) Reservation. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder require registration or qualification with any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued, the Company will in good faith use its best efforts as expeditiously as possible at its expense to cause such shares to be duly registered or qualified. If the Company shall list any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or market it will, at its expense, list thereon, and maintain and increase when necessary such listing, of, all Warrant Shares from time to time issued upon exercise of this
Warrant or as otherwise provided hereunder (provided that such Warrant Shares have been registered pursuant to a registration statement then in effect under the Securities Act), and, to the extent permissible under the applicable securities exchange rules, all unissued Warrant Shares which are at any time issuable hereunder, so long as any shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Company will also so list on each securities exchange or market, and will maintain such listing of, any other securities which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant if at the time any securities of the same class shall be listed on such securities exchange or market by the Company.
(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity or security satisfactory to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company will make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock.
(d) Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates representing Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder in respect to which such shares are issued.
5. Adjustment of Warrant Price and Number of Shares Issuable Upon Exercise. At any time after the Date of Issuance, the Warrant Price and the number of shares that are or may become purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 5. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, subject to Section 3(a), the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the numbe
r of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.
(a) If the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 5 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, t
he Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Price under this Section 5, the following shall be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (defined below) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities (defined below) issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then all of such shares of Common Stock underlying such Option shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 5(a), the “lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the price of conversion shall be made upon the actual issuance and/or sale of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance and/or sale of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities. “Convertible Security” or “Convertible Securities” means any stock or other securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, and “Option” or “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 5(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration, if any, received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the price of conversion had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 5, no further adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 5(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are issued are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Price then in effect.
(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount paid by the purchaser of such Common Stock, Options, or Convertible Securities, before any commissions, di
scounts, fees or expenses. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business (including goodwill) of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for non-cash consideration, the consideration received therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such non-cash consideration as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Price then in effect.
(v) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the 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.
(b) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity-equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller n
umber of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Warrant Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(b) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders of the Warrants) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Warrant Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Volume-Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the board of directors of the Company in good faith. The adjustment shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(d) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, there is a Fundamental Transaction (defined below), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, (a) the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a resu
lt of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in an all-cash transaction, cash equal to the value of this Warrant as determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model 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 100-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg for the 100-day period ending on the date of the Change of Control Redemption Notice. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Warrant Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental
Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Warrant Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the
provisions of this Section 5(d) and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. “Fundamental Transaction” means that the Company shall, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, (i) consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation) another Person, or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company to another Person, or (iii) allow another Person or Persons to make a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock (not including any shares of Voting Stock held by the Person or Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the Person or Persons making or party
to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer), or (iv) consummate a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than the 50% of either the outstanding shares of Voting Stock (not including any shares of Voting Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), or (v) reorganize, recapitalize or reclassify its Common Stock, or (vi) any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or shall become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Voting Stock of the Company. “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind. “Voting Stock” of a Person means capital stock of such Person of the class or classes pursuant to which the holders thereof have the general voting power to elect, or the general power to appoint, at least a majority of the board of directors, managers or trustees of such Person (irrespective of whether or not at the time capital stock of any other class or classes shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency).
(e) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s board of directors in good faith will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Price so as to be equitable under the circumstances and otherwise protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Warrant Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5.
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(g) Exceptions to Adjustment of Warrant Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustments set forth in this Section 5 shall not apply in respect to the issuance of the following (each, a “Permitted Issuance”):
(i) shares of Common Stock or Options issued or issuable in connection with any Approved Stock Plan (defined below), provided that the aggregate amount of Common Stock and Options issued and issuable under all such plans does not exceed 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company;
(ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of any Options or Convertible Securities that are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, provided that the terms of such Options or Convertible Securities are not amended, modified or changed on or after the Closing Date to lower the conversion or exercise price thereof and so long as the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such securities is not otherwise increased; and
(iii) shares of Common Stock issued in an underwritten public offering in which the gross cash proceeds to the Company (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least $10,000,000.
For purposes of this Warrant, “Approved Stock Plan” means any employee benefit plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company’s securities may be issued to any employee, consultant, officer or director for services provided to the Company
(h) Redemption Right. No sooner than 15 days nor later than ten days prior to the consummation of a corporate change that constitutes a change of control, but not prior to the public announcement of such change of control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending ten Trading Days after the consummation of such change of control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem
all or any portion of this Warrant by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the amount the Holder is electing to be redeemed. Any such redemption shall be in cash in the amount equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such consummation, which value shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model reflecting (A) 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 (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg for the 100-day period ending on the date of the Change of Control Redemption Notice.
6. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Warrant Price or Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof (for purposes of this Section 6, each an “adjustment”), the Company shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to prepare and execute a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board made any determination hereunder), and the Warrant Price and Warrant Share Number after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of
such certificate to be delivered to the Holder of this Warrant promptly after each adjustment. Any dispute between the Company and the Holder of this Warrant with respect to the matters set forth in such certificate may at the option of the Holder of this Warrant be submitted to a national or regional accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Holder, provided that the Company shall have ten days after receipt of notice from such Holder of its selection of such firm to object thereto, in which case such Holder shall select another such firm and the Company shall have no such right of objection. The firm selected by the Holder of this Warrant as provided in the preceding sentence shall be instructed to deliver a written opinion as to such matters to the Company and such Holder within 30 days after submission to it of such dispute. Such opinion shall be final and binding on the parties
hereto. The costs and expenses of the initial accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Company and the Holder and, in the case of an objection by the Company, the costs and expenses of the subsequent accounting firm shall be paid in full by the Company.
7. Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereof, but in lieu of such fractional shares, the Company shall round the number of shares to be issued upon exercise up to the nearest whole number of shares.
8. Ownership Caps and Certain Exercise Restrictions.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, at no time may a Holder of this Warrant exercise any portion of this Warrant if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that upon a holder o
f this Warrant providing the Company with 61 days notice (pursuant to Section 13 hereof) (the “Waiver Notice”) that such Holder would like to waive this Section 8(a) with regard to any or all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 8(a) will be of no force or effect with regard to all or a portion of the Warrant referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the 61 days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant. In all circumstances, exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that such exercise conforms to the provisions of this Section 8(a) and the Company shall be under no obligation to verify or ascertain compliance by the Holder with this provision.
(b) The Holder may not exercise the Warrant hereunder to the extent such exercise would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant held by the Holder after application of this Section; provided, however, that upon a holder of this Warrant providing the Company with a Waiver Notice that such holder would like to waive this Section 8(b) with regard to any or all shares of Commo
n Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Section 8(b) shall be of no force or effect with regard to those Warrant Shares referenced in the Waiver Notice; provided, further, that this provision shall be of no further force or effect during the 61 days immediately preceding the expiration of the term of this Warrant. In all circumstances, exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be the Holder’s representation that such exercise conforms to the provisions of this Section 8(b) and the Company shall be under no obligation to verify or ascertain compliance by the Holder with this provision.

WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase such Securities from the Company according to the terms hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES
1.1 Purchase and Sale of the Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the representations and warranties contained herein, or made pursuant hereto, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company at the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”), an amount of Securities for the consideration as set forth in Section 1.3 hereof (the total consideration paid, the “Purchase Price”).
1.2 Closing. The Closing shall be deemed to occur at such place, date and time as mutually agreeable to the parties (the “Closing Date”). The parties may participate in the Closing remotely by use of telephone, email and facsimile transmission.
1.3 Closing Matters. At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the following actions shall be taken:
(a) The Company, against delivery of payment of $1,000,000 in accordance with Section 1.3(b), shall deliver to the Purchaser the documents set forth in Section 5.4 hereof.
(b) The Purchaser shall deliver to the Company $1,000,000 in immediately available funds by wire transfer in accordance with the instructions of the Company.
1.4 Subsequent Financings.
(a) Other than in connection with a Permitted Issuance (defined below), until June 4, 2012 or until prepayment in full of all obligations under the Note, the Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to 30% of each such subsequent financing that involves the sale of securities of the Company (each such financing, a “Subsequent Financing”). At least 15 days prior to the making or accepting of an offer for a Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing and the details of such Subsequent Financ
ing (a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person (as defined in Section 3.13) with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and shall include, as an attachment thereto, a term sheet or similar document relating thereto, if any exists. If the Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the closing of such Subsequent Financing shall be as mutually agreed between the parties participating in such Subsequent Financing. If by 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the fifteenth day after the Purchaser has received the Subsequent Financing Notice, the Purchaser fails to notify the Company of its election to participate, then the Company may immediately effect the Subsequent Financing on the terms and with th
e Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the fifteenth day after the Purchaser has received the Subsequent Financing Notice the Purchaser elects to participate in an amount that is less than 30% of the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may immediately effect the remaining portion of such 30% on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Purchaser notifies the Company of its election to participate in the Subsequent Financing prior to 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on such day, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing if any other holder(s) of rights to participate in any Subsequent Financing (a “Preemptive Rights Holder”) fail to fully exercise such rights in any such Subsequent Financing (a “Remaining Securities Notice”). After receipt of the Remaining Securities Notice by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall be entitled to at least five days to notify the Company of its intention to purchase all or any portion of the remaining portion of the securities that the Preemptive Rights Holder was entitled to purchase. The Company must provide the Purchaser with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 1.4(a), if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 90 days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 1.4(a) shall not apply in respect to the issuance of the following (each, a “Permitted Issuance”):
(i) shares of Common Stock or Options (defined below) issued or issuable in connection with any Approved Stock Plan (defined below), provided that the aggregate amount of Common Stock and Options issued and issuable under all such plans does not exceed 10% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding on the date hereof;
(ii) shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise of any Options or Convertible Securities (defined below) that are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, provided that the terms of such Options or Convertible Securities are not amended, modified or changed on or after the Closing Date to lower the conversion or exercise price thereof and so long as the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such securities is not otherwise increased;
(iii) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that the Company has the right to sell to Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 4, 2010, by and between Vicis and the Company; and
(iv) shares of Common Stock issued in a bona fide firm commitment underwritten public offering to a broad distribution of purchasers in which the gross cash proceeds to the Company (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least $10,000,000.

To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or executive officer thereof (in his/her capacity as such), is or, within the last five years, 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.

greement or any restrictive covenant, and, to the actual knowledge of the Company, 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. The Company and each Subsidiary are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate actions are taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying
officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the date prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.

essary to cause all of the Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.

In case of a default in the payment of any unpaid principal amount and/or any accrued but unpaid interest, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the cost and the expenses of collection, including without limitation,
actual attorney’s fees, expenses and disbursements. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of a Purchaser in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Purchaser’s rights.
(d) Any remedy conferred by this Section 9.2 shall not be exclusive of any other remedy provided by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
ARTICLE X
CERTIFICATE LEGENDS
10.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):
NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, 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 OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A 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 T
HE SECURITIES.
Prior to registration of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in this Section 10.1. Certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 10.1 hereof), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 by the Purchaser without limitation as to volume or manner of sale, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of th
e Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the effective date of a registration statement covering such Warrant Shares, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of the Warrant or the Contingent Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, such Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the effective date of the registration statement covering Warrant Shares or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 10.1, it will, no later than five Trading Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such
date, the “Delivery Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Shares is required to be issued to the Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to the Purchaser by crediting th
e account of such Purchaser’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).
10.2 Liquidated Damages. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of unlegended certificates for the Warrant Shares as set forth in Section 10.1 hereof beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. If the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $500 of Warrant Shares (based on the closing price of the Common Stock reported by the principal Trading Market on the date such Securities a
re submitted to the Company’s transfer agent) subject to Section 10.1, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $15 per Trading Day five Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue and increasing to $20 per Trading Day ten Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend removal date until such certificate is delivered. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
10.3 Sales by the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in Section 10.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION
11.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and shall reimburse the Purchaser for, from and against each claim, loss, liability, cost and expense (including without limitation, interest, penalties, costs of preparation and investigation, and the actual fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) (collectively, “Losses”) directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of (a) any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of the Company contained in any Transaction Document or in any certificate, document, or instrument delivered by the Company to the Purchaser; or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser or its affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an affiliate of the Purchaser, with respect
to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any Losses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with actions taken to enforce its indemnification rights under this Article XI. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XI to the contrary, the Company will not be liable to the Purchaser under this Section 11.1 (a) for any settlement by the Purchaser effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such settlement is made in accordance with Section 11.2(c), or (b) to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability arises from (i) the Purchaser’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, or (ii) any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduc
t by the Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance.
11.2 Procedure.
(a) The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under this Agreement; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article XI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
(b) In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable, good-faith judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified party), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be
entitled to participate in such defense (but not control) with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense (except that the indemnifying party shall remain responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified party in the event in the reasonable, good-faith judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party exists).
(c) In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s cos
ts and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be Losses subject to indemnification hereunder.
(d) The parties shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim and shall furnish to the other party all information reasonably available to such party which relates to such action or claim. Each party shall keep the other party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Article XI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article XI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when the Loss is incurred, so long
as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

THE GUARANTY

This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.
2.2 Waivers and Consents.
(a) Guarantor acknowledges that the obligations undertaken herein involve the guaranty of obligations of a Person other than Guarantor and, in full recognition of that fact, Guarantor consents and agrees that PI may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (i) supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the other terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including without limitation any increase or decrease of the principal amount thereof or the rate(s) of interest thereon; (ii) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, PI may enforce this Guaranty independently of any other remedy, guaranty or security PI at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and it shall not be necessary for PI to marshal assets in favor of Issuer, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Guaranty. Guarantor expressly waives any right to require PI to marshal assets in favor of Issuer or any other Person or to proceed against Issuer or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any collateral provided by any Person, and agrees that PI may proceed again
st any obligor and/or the collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. PI may file a separate action or actions against Guarantor, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor agrees that PI and Issuer may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Guaranty.
(c) The rights of PI hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by PI upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Person, all as though such amount had not been paid. The rights of PI created or granted herein and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall remain effective at all times to guarantee the full amount of all the Obligations even though the Obligations, including any part thereof or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against Issuer or an
y other guarantor of the Obligations and whether or not Issuer or any other guarantor of the Obligations shall have any personal liability with respect thereto.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of Issuer or any other guarantor for the Obligations with respect to the Obligations (other than full payment and performance of all of the Obligations); (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security for or guaranty of the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations; (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of Issuer or any other guarantor of the Obligations (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Obligation
s); (iv) any failure of PI to marshal assets in favor of Issuer or any other Person; (v) any failure of PI to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to Issuer or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of collateral; (vi) any failure of PI to comply with applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation, including, without limitation, any failure of PI to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation; (vii) any act or omission of PI or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of Issuer or any other guarantor of the Obligations, or of any security or guaranty therefor by operation of Law or otherwise; (viii) any Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that

or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; or (xvi) any action taken by PI that is authorized by this Section or any other provision of any Transaction Document. Until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, Guarantor expressly waives all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.
(e) Condition of Issuer. Guarantor represents and warrants to PI that it has established adequate means of obtaining from Issuer, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to the business, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of Issuer and its assets and properties. Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of PI (should any such duty exist) to disclose to Guarantor any matter, fact or thing related to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Issuer or its assets or properties, whether now known or hereafter known by PI during the life of this Guaranty.
0; With respect to any of the Obligations, PI need not inquire into the powers of Issuer or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and all Obligations made or created in good faith reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereby.
(f) Continuing Guaranty. This is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect as to all of the Obligations until all amounts owing by Issuer to PI on the Obligations shall have been paid in full.
(g) Subrogation; Subordination. Guarantor expressly waives any claim for reimbursement, contribution, indemnity or subrogation which Guarantor may have against Issuer as a guarantor of the Obligations and any other legal or equitable claim against Issuer arising out of the payment of the Obligations by Guarantor or from the proceeds of any collateral for this Guaranty, until all amounts owing to PI under the Obligations shall have been paid in full and all commitments to lend have been terminated or expired. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing waiver, until all amounts owing to PI under the Obligations shall have been paid in fu
ll, Guarantor hereby agrees that no payment by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall constitute Guarantor a creditor of Issuer. Until all amounts owing to PI under the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Guarantor shall not seek any reimbursement from Issuer in respect of payments made by Guarantor in connection with this Guaranty, or in respect of amounts realized by PI in connection with any collateral for the Obligations, and Guarantor expressly waives any right to enforce any remedy that PI now has or hereafter may have against any other Person and waives the benefit of, or any right to participate in, any collateral now or hereafter held by PI. No claim which any Guarantor may have against any other guarantor of any of the Obligations or against Issuer, to the extent not waived pursuant to this Section, shall be enforced nor any payment accepted until the Obligations are paid in full and all such payments are not subject to any right of recovery.

(a) At the expense of Debtor, defend the Security Interest against any and all claims of any Person adverse to the Collateral Agent and take such action and execute such financing statements and other documents as the Collateral Agent may from time to time request to maintain the perfected status of the Security Interest. Debtor shall not further encumber or grant a security interest in any of the Collateral except as provided for in the Series B Purchase Agreement and PI Purchase Agreement.
(b) Take any other action requested by the Collateral Agent to ensure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce its security interest in any and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC, to the extent, if any, that Debtor’s signature thereon is required therefor, (ii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, its security interest in su
ch Collateral, (iii) taking all actions required by any earlier versions of the UCC (to the extent applicable) or by other law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction, and (iv) obtaining waivers from landlords where any of the tangible Collateral is located in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

Debtor hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to deposit into a special collateral account to be established and maintained by the Collateral Agent all checks, drafts and cas

All such payments shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in the form received (except for Debtor’s endorsement where necessary).

Give the Collateral Agent at least 30 days prior written notice of Debtor’s intention to relocate the tangible Collateral (other than Inventory in transit) or any of the records relating to the Collateral from the locations listed on Schedule 1 attached to this Security Agreement, in which event Schedule 1 shall be deemed amended to include the new location.

After an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the proceeds of any insurance from loss, theft, or damage to the Collateral shall be held in a segregated account established by the Collateral Agent and disbursed and applied at the discretion of the Collateral Agent, either in reduction of the Obligations or applied toward the repair, restoration or replacement of the Collateral.

ate of disbursement by the Collateral Agent to the date of payment by Debtor. If the Collateral Agent effects any insurance on behalf of Debtor, Debtor thereafter may cancel such insurance so effected after providing the Collateral Agent with evidence that Debtor has obtained insurance as required by this Security Agreement.
4.2 Rights of Parties. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to all the rights and remedies provided in the Transaction Documents or in Article 9 of the UCC and any other applicable law, the Collateral Agent may (but is under no obligation so to do):
(a) require Debtor to assemble the Collateral at a place designated by the Collateral Agent, which is reasonably convenient to the parties; and
(b) take physical possession of Inventory and other tangible Collateral and of Debtor’s records pertaining to all Collateral that are necessary to properly administer and control the Collateral or the handling and collection of Collateral, and sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner in whole or in part, at public or private sale, on or off the premises of Debtor; and
(c) collect any and all money due or to become due and enforce in Debtor’s name all rights with respect to the Collateral; and

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor does hereby constitute and appoint the Collateral Agent as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney with full power of substitution for Debtor in Debtor’s name, place and stead for the purposes of performing any obligation of Debtor under this Security Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to perform any obligation of Debtor under this Security Agreement, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall not terminate until the Obligations are paid in
full.
4.4 Right to Collect Accounts. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and without limiting Debtor’s obligations under the Transaction Documents: (a) Debtor authorizes the Collateral Agent to notify any and all debtors on the Accounts to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent (or to such place as the Collateral Agent may direct); (b) Debtor agrees, on written notice from the Collateral Agent, to deliver to the Collateral Agent promptly upon receipt thereof, in the form in which received (together with all necessary endorsements), all payments received by Debtor on account of any Account; and (c) the Colla
teral Agent may, at its option, apply all such payments against the Obligations or remit all or part of such payments to Debtor.
4.5 Reasonable Notice. Written notice, when required by law, sent in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7 and given at least ten business days (counting the day of sending) before the date of a proposed disposition of the Collateral shall be reasonable notice.

Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the sole duty of the Collateral Agent with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or fo
r any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Debtor or otherwise.
4.7 Lock Box; Collateral Account. This Section 4.7 shall be effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If the Collateral Agent so requests in writing, Debtor will direct each of its debtors on the Accounts to make payments due under the relevant Account or chattel paper directly to a special lock box to be under the control of the Collateral Agent. Debtor hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to deposit into a special collateral account to be established and maintained by the Collateral Agent all checks, drafts and cash payments received in said lock box. All deposits in
said collateral account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Obligation until so applied. At its option, the Collateral Agent may, at any time, apply finally collected funds on deposit in said collateral account to the payment of the Obligations, in the order of application set forth in Section 4.8, or permit Debtor to withdraw all or any part of the balance on deposit in said collateral account. If a collateral account is so established, Debtor agrees that it will promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent, for deposit into said collateral account, all payments on Accounts and chattel paper received by it. All such payments shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in the form received (except for Debtor’s endorsement where necessary). Until so deposited, all payments on Accounts and chattel paper received by Debtor shall be held in trust by Debtor for and as the property of PI and/or Vicis and shall not be commingle
d with any funds or property of Debtor.
4.8 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds resulting from any sale or disposition of the Collateral in the following order:
(a) to the reasonable costs of any sale or other disposition;

|
i.

to Vicis an amount equal to the product of the total Obligations then due and owing multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being all Obligations then due and owing to Vicis and the denominator being all Obligations then due and owing to Vicis and PI;
|
|
ii.
|
to PI an amount equal to the product of the total Obligations then due and owing multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being all Obligations then due and owing to PI and the denominator being all Obligations then due and owing to Vicis and PI; and
|
(d) to Debtor.
4.9 Other Remedies. No remedy herein conferred upon the Collateral Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Security Agreement and the Transaction Documents now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

gistration Request which relates solely to the registration of Conversion Shares shall require the written request of a Holder or group of Holders owning at least 75% of the Registrable Securities (including all Registrable Securities underlying the Preferred Shares and the Warrants). Each Registration Request shall certify the following (i) the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holder making such Registration Request; and (ii) if less than all, the number of Registrable Securities of the requesting Holder to be covered by the Registration Statement. The requesting Holder shall give notice to the other Holders of its Registration Request at the same time as the requesting Holder delivers the request to the Company; and the other Holders shall have the right to include any or all of their Registrable Securities on such Registration Statement if it or they provide the Company with the necessary information regarding such Holder and the applicable Registrable Securities to be included in the Registra
tion Statement within 10 Business Days of such request, subject to Section 2(c). Subject to the agreement of the Holders registering Registrable Securities, the Company shall also have the right to include any of its securities on such Registration Statement, subject to Section 2(c).
(ii) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any Registration Statement filed in response to a request pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than the earlier of:
(A) 180 days after the Initial Filing Deadline, and
(B) the twentieth Business Day following the date on which the Company is notified by the Commission that the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments (an “Initial Effectiveness Deadline”), and shall use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of:
(i) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have been sold;
(ii) the date when all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144;
(iii) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144, as determined by counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, upon receipt by the Holders of a notice from the Company stating that the Company will deliver certificates without restrictive legends upon surrender by the Holders of the existing certificates along with appropriate seller’s and broker’s representation letters;
(iv) the date two years after the date that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission; or
(v) the date when all Registrable Securities cease to be outstanding (together, the “Effectiveness Period”).
(b) Possible Subsequent Registration. If the Commission does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement initially filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) as a result of the Commission’s application of Rule 415, then the Company shall prepare and file as soon as possible after the date on which the Commission indicates as being the first date or time that such filing may be made (which shall be the later of sixty (60) days following the sale of substantially all of the Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement or six months following the Effective Date of such initial Registration Statement), but in any event by the 10th Business Day following such date or, in the event the Commission does not so
indicate, no later than six months after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) (an “Additional Filing Deadline” and, together with an Initial Filing Deadline, a “Filing Deadline”), an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible but, in any event, no later than 90 days following the date on which the Company becomes aware that such Registration Statement is required to be filed under this Agreement (an “Additiona
l Effectiveness Deadline” for such Registration Statement), and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the Effectiveness Period. To the extent the staff of the Commission does not permit all of the Registrable Securities that have not yet been covered on an effective Registration Statement (the “Unregistered Registrable Securities”) to be registered on such additional Registration Statement, the Company shall file one or more additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such successive Registration Statement the maximum number of Unregistered Registrable Securities permitted by the Commission until all of the Registrable Securities have been registered with the Commission, subject to any subsequent Filing Deadline and subsequent Effectiveness Deadline and in accordance with the agreements of the Company contained
in this Section 2(b). In the event that on the filing date of the applicable additional Registration Statement, the Company’s financial statements would be “stale” (more than 135 days old), the Company shall have ten (10) days from the date that the applicable financial statements are filed with the Commission as part of a 10-K or 10-Q filing to file such additional Registration Statement.
(c) Allocation of Registrable Securities in Registration Statement. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders (based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Holder), and any securities of the Company to be included in such Registration Statement at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is filed with the Commission. In the event that a Holder sells or otherwise transfers any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the
then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Holders, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders which are covered by such Registration Statement.
(d) Holder Cooperation. Each Holder hereby agrees:
(i) to cooperate with the reasonable requests of Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder by providing the Company with information regarding such Holder which was requested by the Company in writing in order to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, including if requested, a statement as to (i) the identity of the beneficial owner of the Registrable Securities, (ii) the number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Holder and any Affiliate thereof and (iii) the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of such Holder’s election to exclude all of such Holder’s Re
gistrable Securities from such Registration Statement; and
(ii) upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 4(h)(iii) such Holder will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holders’ receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed.
3. Piggyback Registration Rights.
(a) Right to Piggyback. If at any time, and from time to time, the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of any class of equity or equity-linked securities of the Company (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or in each case any successor forms thereto, (ii) in respect of a dividend reinvestment or similar plan for shareholders of the Company or (iii) filed in connection with an offering made solely to existing shareholders or employees of the Company), whether or not for its own account, then the Company will give written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of su
ch proposed filing to the Holders at least 30 days before the anticipated filing date. Such notice will offer the Holders the opportunity to register such amount of Registrable Securities as each Holder may request on the same terms and conditions as the proposed registration that gave rise to the Piggyback Notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company will include in each Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests from Holders for inclusion within ten Business Days after delivery of the Piggyback Notice, subject to Section 3(b).
(b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the Piggyback Registration is an Underwritten Offering, the Company will cause the managing underwriter of that proposed offering to permit the Holders that have requested Registrable Securities to be included in the Piggyback Registration to include all such Registrable Securities on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities, if any, of the Company or any other applicable selling securityholder. The right of any Holder to participate in any such Underwritten Offering shall be conditioned on such Holder’s entering into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
managing underwriter or underwriters of such Underwritten Offering advises the Company and the selling Holders in writing that, in its good faith determination, the total amount of securities that the Company and the Holders propose to include in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such Underwritten Offering or that if the managing underwriter of an Underwritten Offering under this Section 3(b) advises the Company and such Holders in writing that the total number of shares requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such offering or that the success or pricing of the offering would be materially and adversely affected by the inclusion of all of the shares of Common Stock requested to be included, then:
(i) if such Piggyback Registration is a primary registration by the Company for its own account, the Company will include in such Piggyback Registration in the following order of priority: (A) first, the full amount of securities proposed to be offered by the Company; (B) second, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Holders making such Piggyback Request, allocated pro rata among such Holders, on the basis of the amount of securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder; and (C) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration so that the total amount of securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering is the full amount that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be s
old without materially and adversely affecting the success of such Underwritten Offering; and
(ii) if such Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration for the account of holders of securities of the Company, the Company will include in such registration, in the following order of priority: (A) first, the full amount of securities proposed to be included in the registration pursuant to arrangements entered into or proposed to be entered into among the Company and the holders of securities of the Company for whose account such underwritten secondary registration is being undertaken; (B) second, up to the full amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Holders making such Piggyback Request, allocated pro rata among such Holders, on the basis of the amount of securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder
; and (C) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration so that the total amount of securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering is the full amount that, in the written opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without materially and adversely affecting the success of such Underwritten Offering.
(iii) If so requested (pursuant to a timely written notice) by the managing underwriter in any Underwritten Offering, the Holders participating in such Underwritten Offering will agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (or any other type of sale, offer, disposition or other transaction as the managing underwriter determines is necessary in order to effect the Underwritten Offering) of any Common Stock or similar securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (but excluding any Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering), during the 10 days prior to, and during (A) for an initial public offering of Common Shares or other similar securities of the Company, 180 days and (B) for a secondary offering of Common Shares or other similar securities of the Compan
y, 90 days, in each case (or such additional period as the managing underwriter determines is necessary in order to effect the Underwritten Offering), following, the pricing date of such Underwritten Offering (or such longer period as may be required by the applicable underwriting agreement). In the event of such a request, the Company may impose, during such period, appropriate stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Common Stock or similar securities subject to such restrictions.
(c) Withdrawal of Piggyback Registration.
(i) If at any time after giving the Piggyback Notice and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with the Piggyback Registration, the Company determines for any reason to delay or not to register the Piggyback Registration, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of its determination to all Holders, and (A) in the case of a determination not to register, will be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with the abandoned Piggyback Registration, without prejudice, and (B) in the case of a determination to delay the Piggyback Registration, will be permitted to delay the registration for the same period.
(ii) Any Holder of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in a Piggyback Registration may withdraw its request for inclusion by giving written notice to the Company of its intention to withdraw from that registration, provided, however, (A) the Holder’s request must be made in writing, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, or if the registration is not an Underwritten Offering, at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the applicable Registration Statement covering the Piggyback Registration, and (B) the withdrawal will be irrevocable and, after making the withdrawal, a Holder will no longer have any right to include its Registrable S
ecurities in that Piggyback Registration.
(iii) The Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect to any Piggyback Registration to any Holder under this Section 3 notwithstanding an election to withdraw under this Section 3(c).

6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, managers, partners, members, shareholders, agents, brokers, investment advisors 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, 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, costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collec
tively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any violation of securities laws or untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the 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 form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder or such other Indemnified Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or (ii) such Holder’s enforcement of the indemnification rig
hts provided for in this Section 5(a). The Company shall notify the Holders 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.
(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 and employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review or a judgment not appealed in the requisite time period), as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder shall be liable under this Section 5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(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 promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to 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 o
f 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 proximately and materially 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; or (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 parties shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist 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). 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 or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder, 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 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) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten 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 Indemnified Party shall reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), 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 on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand 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 Section 6(c), 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 6 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 6(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 6(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the 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 indemnification or contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6 are in addition to any other liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, the nonbreaching parties, 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 their 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 a
ny action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has, as of the date hereof entered into and currently in effect, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as disclosed in the Schedules to the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement currently in effect granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and PI, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that no such written consent shall be required with respect to the inclusion as Registrable Securities hereunder the Conversion Shares underlying the up to 15 shares of Series B Preferred Stock that may be sold to Vicis pursuant to Section 1.3(b) of the Series B Purchase Agreement.
(c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of 75% of the Registrable Securities outstanding (including all Registrable Securities underlying the Preferred Shares and the Warrants); provided, that this Agreement may not be amended, and no provision hereof may be waived, in each case, in any way which would adversely affect the rights of any Holder in a manner disproportionate to any adverse effect such amendment or waiver would have on the rights of the ot
her Holders, without also the written consent of the such Holder.
(d) Notices. Any notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon hand delivery, telecopy or facsimile at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received) or (b) on the second business day following the date of mailing by express courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or upon actual receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur.

2. Security Interests; Priorities; Remedies.
(a) Each of the Creditors and the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not obtain or acquire a further Lien over any Collateral without the prior written consent of both Creditors. The Obligor agrees that it will not grant to any Creditor, the Collateral Agent or any other Person, a further Lien over any Collateral, without the prior written consent of both Creditors, except as provided herein.
(b) Notwithstanding the order or time of attachment, or the order, time or manner of perfection, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument, or other method of perfecting a security interest in favor of each Creditor or the Collateral Agent in any Collateral, and notwithstanding any conflicting terms or conditions which may be contained in any of the Security Agreements, with respect to the Collateral, the Liens upon all Collateral to the extent of all PI Debt shall be treated pari passu with the Liens upon all Collateral to the extent of the Vicis Payment, with any proceed
s of such Collateral to be applied pro rata based on the outstanding PI Debt and the outstanding Vicis Payment.
(c) The proceeds of any sale, disposition or .other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral arising outside of the Obligor’s ordinary course of business shall be applied pro rata based on outstanding PI Debt and the outstanding Vicis Payment.
(d) The lien priorities provided in this Section 2 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, replacement or refinancing of the Vicis Payment or the PI Debt, nor by any action or inaction which any Creditor or the Collateral Agent may take or fail to take in respect of the Collateral, except to the extent Vicis and PI have consented thereto in writing.
(e) The Collateral Agent shall be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its Lien for the benefit of the Creditors; provided that the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any Creditor for failure to maintain the perfection of its Lien so long as the Collateral Agent has used commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such perfection and has not acted in a discriminatory manner toward any Creditor. The foregoing provisions of this Intercreditor Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as among the Creditors and the Collateral Agent and shall not impose on any Creditor or the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of forecl
osure on any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law. Each of the Creditors and the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens upon the Collateral of the other Creditors or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. To the extent any of the Liens securing payment and performance of the Vicis Payment or the PI Debt are avoided, disallowed, set aside or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, neither the Creditor holding such rights nor the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to claim the benefit of this Intercreditor Agreement in respect thereof unless such Creditor or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be diligently contesting the matter or appealing a proceeding and has provided the other Credi
tors and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, with an indemnity satisfactory to such parties which have the benefit of the indemnity.
(f) Each of the Creditors and the Collateral Agent shall (a) in connection with a sale or other disposition of Collateral by the Collateral Agent thereon, or by the Obligor with the consent of the Collateral Agent, immediately upon the request of the Collateral Agent release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such Collateral and immediately deliver such other release documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection with such sale or disposition so long as no such releases or terminations are effective or released until such time as the sale or disposition is completed and the Collateral Agent has determined that such sale or other disposition is commercially reasonable under the circumstances based on such info
rmation available to the Collateral Agent relevant to such determination and (b) shall be deemed to have consented under its Agreements to such sale or other disposition. To the extent any Creditor or the Collateral Agent may be required to hereunder, or shall otherwise release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such Collateral, any requirement that such Creditor or the Collateral Agent consent to such sale or other disposition in the Agreements of such Creditor or the Collateral Agent with Obligor shall not be applicable. Any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (other than sales supervised by a court) shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.
(g) Until the PI Debt and the Vicis Payment reach their respective maturities, which maturities shall not be extended by the Creditor holding such rights without the prior written consent of the other Creditor, neither Creditor will, directly or indirectly through the Collateral Agent or otherwise, nor shall the Collateral Agent:
(i) exercise any of its rights or remedies upon a default or event of default by the Obligor with respect to the PI Debt or Vicis Payment, as applicable;
(ii) seek to foreclose or realize upon (judicially or non-judicially) its Lien on such Collateral or assert any claims or interest therein (including, without limitation, by setoff or notification of account debtors); or
(iii) take any other action that would interfere in any manner with the rights of any Creditor or the Collateral Agent in such Collateral.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Intercreditor Agreement, from and after the date that the PI Debt and the Vicis Payment reach their respective stated maturities, which maturity shall not be extended by the Creditor holding such rights without the prior written consent of the other Creditor, either PI or Vicis may require the Collateral Agent to enforce any Liens against the Collateral.
(h) Neither of the Creditors nor the Collateral Agent shall challenge, contest or bring into question the validity, priority, perfection or enforceability of any Liens granted by any Obligor in favor of the other Creditor or the Collateral Agent or, subject to Section 2(g), any enforcement steps taken thereunder by the other Creditor or the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement and the Security Agreements.
(i) The Obligor shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, make any Restricted Payment to any Creditor, and no Creditor shall accept any such Restricted Payment, in each case without the prior written consent of the other Creditor. Should any payment or distribution or security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by a Creditor that rightfully belong to another Creditor under this Agreement, such Creditor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the other Creditor, segregated from other funds and property of such Creditor, and such Creditor shall forthwith deliver the same to the other Creditor (together with any endorsement or assignment of such Creditor where necessary) s
uch amount to be allocated to the other Creditor.
(j) Each Creditor shall give to the other Creditor concurrently with the giving thereof to the Obligor, (a) a copy of any written notice by such Creditor of either a default or an event of default under its Agreements with the Obligor, or written notice of demand of payment from the Obligor, and (b) any written notice sent by such Creditor to the Obligor at any time an event of default under such Creditor’s Agreements exists stating such Creditor’s intention to exercise any of its enforcement rights or remedies, including written notice pertaining to any foreclosure on any of the Collateral or other judicial or non-judicial remedy in respect thereof, and any legal process served or filed in connection therewith; provided, that, the foregoing does not affect any prohibition in this Intercreditor Agreement on a Creditor taking such steps and; provided further that the failure of any party to give notice as required hereby shall not affect the relative priorities of the Creditors’ or Collateral Agent’s respective Liens as provided herein or the validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against the Obligor and shall not give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Creditor against the other Creditor. Each Creditor shall, upon the request of the other Creditor, provide to such other Creditor a statement of the amount of the indebtedness of the Obligor then owing to it. The Obligor hereby authorizes and consents to each Creditor sending any such notices and other information to the other Creditor.
(k) In the event that any of the Creditors or the Collateral Agent shall, in the exercise of its respective rights under its Agreements or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of the Obligor that contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the property of the Obligor in which the-other Creditor or the Collateral Agent has been granted a Lien, it shall notify the other Creditor or the Creditors, as applicable, that it has received such books and records and shall, as promptly as practicable thereafter, make available to the other Creditor or the Creditors, as applicable, such books and records for inspection and dupl
ication.

Any amendment of this Intercreditor Agreement must be in writing and signed by each of the parties to be bound thereby.
(b) Successors and Assigns.
(i) This Intercreditor Agreement shall be binding upon each party hereto and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each party hereto and its successors, participants and assigns.
(ii) Each Creditor reserves the right to grant participations in, or otherwise sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of, or any interest in, the Vicis Payment or PI Debt, and its rights in the Collateral (including such rights that are derived through the Collateral Agent) securing same; provided, that, no Creditor shall be obligated to give any notices to or otherwise in any manner deal directly with any participant in the Vicis Payment or PI Debt, as the case may be, and no participant shall be entitled to any rights or benefits under this Intercreditor Agreement except through the Credito

In addition, each Creditor will execute and deliver an agreement containing terms substantially identical to those contained herein in favor of any third person who succeeds to or refinances, replaces or substitutes for any or all of financing of the Obligor, whether such successor or replacement financing occurs by transfer, assignment, “takeout” or any other means or vehicle provided same does not constitute a breach of any Agreement with such Creditor.
(c) Insolvency. This Intercreditor Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against the Obligor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to the Obligor shall be deemed to apply to a trustee for the Obligor and the Obligor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the Creditors and the Collateral Agent to repayment of the Vicis Payment or the PI Debt, respectively, and in or to any distributions from or in respect of the Obligor or any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, shall continue after the filing thereof on the same bas
is as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, the Obligor as debtor-in-possession.
(d) Bankruptcy Financing. If the Obligor shall become subject to a proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and if either Creditor or the Collateral Agent desires to permit the use of cash collateral or to provide financing to the Obligor under either Section 363 or Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the other Creditor and/or the Collateral Agent, applicable, agrees as follows: (a) adequate notice to such other Creditor shall have been provided for such financing or use of cash collateral if such other Creditor receives notice two (2) Business Days prior to the entry of the order approving such financing or use of cash collateral and (b) no
objection will be raised by the other Creditor or the Collateral Agent to any such financing on the ground of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of such other Creditor or the Collateral Agent or any other grounds, provided, that, (i) such other Creditor or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, retains a Lien on post-petition Collateral to the same extent and with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. For purposes of this Section, notice of a proposed financing or use of cash collateral shall be deemed given when given, in the manner prescribed by this Intercreditor Agreement, to any Creditor or the Collateral Agent, or their respective counsel.
(e) Bailee for Perfection. Each Creditor and the Collateral Agent hereby appoint each other, and each hereby agrees to serve, as agent and bailee for each other for the limited purpose of perfecting their respective Liens on the Collateral which may at any time be in its possession during the term of this Intercreditor Agreement. Neither Creditor shall have any duty to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to any of the Collateral in its possession and each Creditor hereby waives and releases the other Creditor from all claims and liabilities at any time arising pursuant to such Creditor’s role as agent and bailee with respect to the Coll
ateral in its actual possession other than gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(f) Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given, made or received: if delivered in person, immediately upon delivery; if by facsimile transmission, immediately upon sending and upon confirmation of receipt; if by nationally recognized overnight courier service with instructions to deliver the next Business Day, one (1) Business Day after sending; and if mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, five (5) days after mailing to the parties at their addresses set forth below (or to such other addresses as the parties may designate in accordance with the

(l) Disclosures; Non-Reliance.
