SECTION 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

The Physicians Interactive Financing and Strategic Partnering Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on October 5, 2010, we entered into a Strategic Partnering Agreement with Physicians Interactive Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“PIH”), to establish a strategic partnering relationship to facilitate the distribution by each party of the other’s products and services and the development of joint offerings for each other’s customers. On the same date, 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 (the “Warrant”) 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 (the “Contingent Warrant”) based on royalties we may receive under a Strategic Partnering Agreement we entered into with PIH.

 

The Note, the Warrant and the Contingent Warrant were issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 5, 2010 with the Investor. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, OptimizeRx Corporation, a Michigan corporation (the “Guarantor”), entered into a separate Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) with Investor to guarantee the Note.

 

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 agreed 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 Termination Agreement and Release

 

On September 16, 2011, we entered into a Termination Agreement and Release (the “Termination Agreement”) with Investor, PIH, Guarantor and Vicis. The purpose of the Termination Agreement was to (i) terminate the Strategic Partnering Agreement and the Purchase Agreement and accompanying transaction documents with respect to PIH and PI; and (ii) restore the terms of the security interest and registration rights that we had with Vicis under the Vicis Financings immediately prior to the closing of the transaction.

 

Under the Termination Agreement, we agreed to pay to PI $1,056,876 (the “Payoff Amount”) on or before September 30, 2011. Upon payment of this amount, all obligations under the Strategic Partnering Agreement and Purchase Agreement shall terminate, including but not limited to, all principal and interest owed under the Note, all obligations under the Contingent Warrant, all security interests, registration rights, guaranties, legal fees and other charges outstanding or payable under the Purchase Agreement and accompanying documents (other than the Warrant) and all obligations of PIH and our company under the Strategic Partnering Agreement, excluding (a) the Warrant, which shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect and (b) certain sections of the Strategic Partnering Agreement related to ownership of intellectual property and confidentiality. PIH and our company further agreed that there shall be a transition period with respect to the Strategic Partnering Agreement to allow for the completion of any pending deals. The parties to the Termination Agreement further acknowledged and agreed that the Intercreditor Agreement and the Securityholders’ Agreement shall be of no further force or effect.

 

In addition, our company and the Guarantor entered into agreements with Vicis intended to materially restore in full the relationship that existed between Vicis, our company and Guarantor that were in place under the Vicis Financings and were subsequently modified in connection with the Purchase Agreement and accompanying transaction documents. These agreements consist of the following: the Third Amended and Restated Security Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Guarantor Security Agreement, and the Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement. These documents accompany a new Securities Purchase Agreement that we entered into with Vicis (see below).

 

New Financing With Vicis

 

As a result of the Termination Agreement, on September 16, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vicis, and the Guarantor entered into an Amended and Restated Guarantor Agreement with Vicis for sale of up to 50 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to 3,333,334 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “Vicis Warrants”).

 

3
 

 

The first closing of the financing, which will occur within 5 days of the date of execution of the Termination Agreement, will be for the sale of 15 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at the above exercise price for $1,500,000. This money will be used for the Payoff Amount under the Termination Agreement and the balance to provide for working capital to our company.

 

Thereafter, a subsequent closing may occur at our option commencing on December 1, 2011 for the sale of an additional 15 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of our common stock for $1,500,000. A final subsequent closing may occur at our option commencing on May 1, 2012 for the sale of an additional 20 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 1,333,334 shares of our common stock for $2,000,000.

 

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into that number of shares of our common stock equal to the Stated Value ($100,000) divided by a per share price of the common stock of $1.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”). A holder may effect a conversion at any time after the earlier of (a) the time that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares effective a registration statement registering the shares of common stock to be sold by the holder that underlie the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder (the “Conversion Shares’) and (b) the time such Conversion Shares are eligible for resale by the holder pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Conversion Eligibility Date”).

 

If after the Conversion Eligibility Date the market price for the common stock for any ten consecutive trading days exceeds $2.00 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the common stock that may occur) and the average daily trading volume for the common stock during such ten day period exceeds 100,000 shares (such period, the “Threshold Period”), the Company may, at any time after the fifth trading day after the end of any such period, deliver a notice to the holder (a “Forced Conversion Notice” and the date such notice is received by the holder, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause the holder to immediately convert all and not less than all of the Stated Value of the shares held by such Holder plus accumulated and unpaid dividends at the then current Conversion Price (a “Forced Conversion”). We may only effect a Forced Conversion Notice if all of the conditions specified in the purchase agreement are met through the applicable Threshold Period until the date of the applicable Forced Conversion and through and including the date such shares of common stock are issued to the holder.

 

The Vicis Warrants are exercisable for a period of seven years at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Vicis Warrants are also exercisable on a cashless basis. In addition, the Vicis Warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments and protections in the event of stock splits and stock dividends, subsequent equity sales entitling persons to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price of the warrants and subsequent rights offerings, in the event we issue rights, options or warrant to all holders of common stock and not to the warrant holders, pro rata distributions of assets or indebtedness and fundamental transactions, such as a merger, consolidation or recapitalization. The anti-dilution adjustment shall apply the lowest sale price as being the adjusted option price or conversion ratio for existing shareholders.

In anticipation of the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock to Vicis, we filed an Amendment to the Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State to modify the maturity date on the Designation from June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2012. The Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.20 attached hereto, the Company and each Subsidiary are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and each Subsidiary are engaged. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

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.

Except as set forth in Schedule 3.22, the Company and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to their respective business, in each case free and clear of all Liens.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable measures to protect the value of the Intellectual Property Rights.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

3.26            Sarbanes-Oxley Act; Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof and applicable to it, and any and all rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective and applicable to it as of the date hereof. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset 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. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(c) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

3.28            Material Contracts. Each contract of the Company that involves expenditures or receipts in excess of $500,000 (each, a “Material Contract”) is in full force and effect and is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Company is and has been in material compliance with all applicable terms and requirements of each Material Contract and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that (with or without notice or lapse of time) may contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or give the Company or any other entity the right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel, terminate or modify any Material Contract. The Company has not given or received from any other Person any notice or other communication (whether oral or written) regarding any actual, alleged, possible or potential violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract.

3.29            [Intentionally Omitted].

The Company is in compliance with all such maintenance requirements.

3.34            Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchaser as a result of the Purchaser and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchaser’s ownership of the Securities.

3.35            OFAC.

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 THE SECURITIES.

33
 

Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in this Section 10.1. Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares and 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 Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Conversion Shares or 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 the 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 Conversions Shares or 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 Preferred Shares or a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, such Conversions Shares and 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 Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 10.1, it will, no later than five (5) Trading Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares or 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 Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares is required to be issued to the Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or 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 Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to the Purchaser by crediting the 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 Conversion Shares or 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 Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the closing price of the Common Stock reported by the principal Trading Market on the date such Securities are submitted to the Company’s transfer agent) subject to Section 10.1, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $15 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue and increasing to $20 per Trading Day ten (10) 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.

34
 

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 (unless such action is based upon a breach of the Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings the Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct 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).

35
 

(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 (30) 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 costs 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.

ARTICLE 2
THE GUARANTY

2.1                The Guaranty. Guarantor, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Vicis the full and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of each of the Obligations. 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 Vicis 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 with respect to, the Obligations or any part thereof, or any of the Transaction Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder; (iii) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Transaction Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof; (iv) accept partial payments on the Obligations; (v) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations or any part thereof; (vi) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and/or enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Vicis in its sole and absolute discretion may determine; (vii) release any Person from any personal liability with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; (viii) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Vicis or by operation of applicable Law or otherwise, liquidate or enforce any Obligations and any security or guaranty in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and/or (ix) consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of Issuer or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of Guarantor or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations.

2
 

 

(b)                 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Vicis may enforce this Guaranty independently of any other remedy, guaranty or security Vicis at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and it shall not be necessary for Vicis 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 Vicis 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 Vicis may proceed against any obligor and/or the collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Vicis 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 Vicis 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 Vicis 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 Vicis upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Person, all as though such amount had not been paid. The rights of Vicis 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 any 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 Obligations); (iv) any failure of Vicis to marshal assets in favor of Issuer or any other Person; (v) any failure of Vicis 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 Vicis 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 Vicis to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation; (vii) any act or omission of Vicis 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 of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (ix) any failure of Vicis to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person; (x) the election by Vicis, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any use of collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person; (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Vicis for any reason; (xv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including without limitation any discharge of, 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 Vicis 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.

3
 

 

(e)                 Condition of Issuer. Guarantor represents and warrants to Vicis 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 Vicis (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 Vicis during the life of this Guaranty. With respect to any of the Obligations, Vicis 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 Vicis 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 Vicis 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 Vicis under the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Guarantor hereby agrees that no payment by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall constitute Guarantor a creditor of Issuer. Until all amounts owing to Vicis 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 Vicis in connection with any collateral for the Obligations, and Guarantor expressly waives any right to enforce any remedy that Vicis 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 Vicis. 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.

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 Registration 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

(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 “Additional 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 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.

(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 Registrable 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 such 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 sold 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.

 

6
 

(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 Company, 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 Securities 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).

 

4. Registration Procedures.

 

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

 

(a) Registration Statement Form. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities covered by this Agreement, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation and whether or not this Agreement is terminated, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses with respect to (A) applications and filings required to be made with the trading market, if any, on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) compliance with applicable state or non-U.S. securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by any of the Holders included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Company, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and (v) fees and expenses of all other Persons or firms retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

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 (collectively, “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 rights 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.

 

11
 

(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 of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have 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.

 

12
 

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 any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b) No 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, 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.

 

(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 other 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. The addresses for such communications shall be:

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

 

(h) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts of law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. The Company and the Holders agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the state of New York, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that New York is not the proper venue. The Company and the Holders irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of New York. The Company and the Holders consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 7(k) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the Holders hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses of enforcement of the Series B Purchase Agreement and September Purchase Agreement, and all agreements, documents and instruments executed and/or delivered in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

ARTICLE III
AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR

From and after the date of this Security Agreement, and until all of the Obligations are paid in full, Debtor shall:

3.1                Sale of Collateral.  Not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of Collateral or any interest therein, except as provided for in the Purchase Agreements and for sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business.

3.2                Maintenance of Security Interest.  

(a)                 At the expense of Debtor, defend the Security Interest against any and all claims of any Person adverse to Vicis and take such action and execute such financing statements and other documents as Vicis 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 Purchase Agreements.

(b)                 Take any other action requested by Vicis to ensure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of Vicis 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 Vicis to enforce, its security interest in such 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 Vicis.

Any additional filings or refilings requested by Vicis as a result of any such relocation in order to maintain the Security Interest in the Collateral shall be at Debtor’s expense.

3.4                Insurance.  Keep the Collateral consisting of tangible personal property insured against loss or damage to the Collateral under a policy or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke and uniform standard extended coverage and vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, limited only as may be provided in the standard form of such endorsements at the time in use in the applicable state. Such insurance shall be for amounts not less than the actual replacement cost of the Collateral. No policy of insurance shall be so written that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by the preceding sentence, by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise, without the prior consent thereto in writing by Vicis. Debtor will obtain lender’s loss payable endorsements on applicable insurance policies in favor of Vicis and will provide certificates of such insurance to Vicis. Debtor shall cause each insurer to agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies or certificates of insurance issued by it or by independent instrument furnished to Vicis, that such insurer will give 30 days prior written notice to Vicis before such policy will be altered or canceled. No settlement of any insurance claim shall be made without Vicis’s prior written consent. In the event of any insured loss, Debtor shall promptly notify Vicis thereof in writing, and Debtor hereby authorizes and directs any insurer concerned to make payment of such loss directly to Vicis as its interest may appear. Vicis is authorized, in the name and on behalf of Debtor, to make proof of loss and to adjust, compromise and collect, in such manner and amounts as it shall determine, all claims under all policies; and Debtor agrees to sign, on demand of Vicis, all receipts, vouchers, releases and other instruments which may be necessary or desirable in aid of this authorization. The proceeds of any insurance from loss, theft, or damage to the Collateral shall be held in a segregated account established by Vicis and disbursed and applied at the discretion of Vicis, either in reduction of the Obligations or applied toward the repair, restoration or replacement of the Collateral.

4.1                Right to Cure.  In case of failure by Debtor to procure or maintain insurance, or to pay any fees, assessments, charges or taxes arising with respect to the Collateral, Vicis shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such insurance or pay such fees, assessments, charges or taxes, as the case may be, and, in that event, the cost thereof shall be payable by Debtor to Vicis immediately upon demand, together with interest at an annual rate equal to 10% from the date of disbursement by Vicis to the date of payment by Debtor.

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, Vicis may (but is under no obligation so to do):

(a)                 require Debtor to assemble the Collateral at a place designated by Vicis, 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 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

(d)                 settle, adjust or compromise any dispute with respect to any Account; and

(e)                 receive and open mail addressed to Debtor; and

(f)                  on behalf of Debtor, endorse checks, notes, drafts, money orders, instruments or other evidences of payment.

4.3                Power of Attorney.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor does hereby constitute and appoint Vicis 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 Vicis 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.

6
 

 

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 Vicis to notify any and all debtors on the Accounts to make payment directly to Vicis (or to such place as Vicis may direct); (b) Debtor agrees, on written notice from Vicis, to deliver to Vicis 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; (c) Vicis may, at its option, apply all such payments against the Obligations or remit all or part of such payments to Debtor; and (d) Vicis may take any actions in accordance with Section 4.7 of this Agreement.

4.5                Reasonable Notice.  Written notice, when required by law, sent in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7 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.

4.6                Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral.  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 Vicis 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 Vicis deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Vicis 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 for 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 Vicis 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 Vicis. Debtor hereby authorizes and directs Vicis to deposit into a special collateral account to be established and maintained by Vicis 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, Vicis 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 selected in the sole discretion of Vicis, 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 Vicis, for deposit into said collateral account, all payments on Accounts and chattel paper received by it. All such payments shall be delivered to Vicis 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 Vicis and shall not be commingled with any funds or property of Debtor.

4.8                Application of Proceeds.  Vicis 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;

7
 

 

(b)                 to the reasonable expenses incurred by Vicis in connection with any sale or other disposition, including attorneys’ fees;

(c)                 to the payment to Vicis of the Obligations then due and owing in any order selected by Vicis; and

(d)                 to Debtor.

4.9                Other Remedies.  No remedy herein conferred upon Vicis 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 Vicis 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.

ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS

5.1                Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees.  Debtor shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by Vicis, including the fees of counsel including in-house counsel, in connection with the protection, administration and enforcement of the rights of Vicis under this Security Agreement or with respect to the Collateral, including without limitation the protection and enforcement of such rights in any bankruptcy.

5.4                Survival.  All agreements, representations and warranties made in this Security Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, and the delivery of any such document.

5.5                Governing Law.  This Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly performed within such state.

5.6                Counterparts; Headings.  This Security Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement. The article and section headings in this Security Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof.

8
 

 

5.7                Notices.  All communications or notices required or permitted by this Security Agreement shall be given to Debtor in accordance with Section 12.6 of the 2011 Purchase Agreement.

5.8                Amendment; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No amendment of this Security Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Debtor and Vicis. Vicis shall not by any act (except by a written instrument signed by Vicis), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Vicis, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by Vicis of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Vicis would otherwise have on any future occasion.

5.9                Severability.  Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement in such jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a)                 DEBTOR AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK AND DEBTOR CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. DEBTOR WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT; AND

9
 

 

(b)                 Debtor consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by certified mail sent to Debtor at the address specified in Section 12.6 of the 2011 Purchase Agreement.

5.12            Effect of Amendment and Restatement. This Security Agreement amends and restates the 2010 Security Agreement and shall not be construed to be a substitution or novation of the 2010 Security Agreement.

ARTICLE III
AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR

From and after the date of this Security Agreement, and until all of the Obligations are paid in full, Debtor shall:

3.1              Sale of Collateral. Not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of Collateral or any interest therein, except as provided for in the Purchase Agreements and for sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business.

3.2              Maintenance of Security Interest.

(a)                 At the expense of Debtor, defend the Security Interest against any and all claims of any Person adverse to Vicis (but only to the extent the claim of such adverse Person is subordinate or junior to the interest of Vicis) and take such action and execute such financing statements and other documents as Vicis may from time to time reasonably request in writing 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 Purchase Agreements.

(b)                 Debtor further agrees to take any other commercially reasonable action reasonably requested in writing by Vicis to ensure the attachment, perfection and second priority of, and the ability of Vicis 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 Vicis to enforce, its security interest in such 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 material portion of the tangible Collateral is located in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Vicis.

3.3              Locations. Give Vicis 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. Any additional filings or refilings requested in writing by Vicis as a result of any such relocation in order to maintain the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be at Debtor’s expense.

3.4              Insurance. Maintain insurance (including, without limitation, commercial general liability and property insurance) with respect to the Collateral consisting of tangible personal property in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations as is required by any governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated. Debtor will obtain lender’s loss payable endorsements on applicable insurance policies in favor of Vicis and will provide to Vicis certificates of such insurance or copies thereof. Debtor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each insurer to agree, by endorsement on the policy or policies or certificates of insurance issued by it or by independent instrument furnished to Vicis, that such insurer will give 30 days prior written notice to Vicis before such policy will be altered or canceled. No settlement of any insurance claim shall be made without Vicis’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of any insured loss, Debtor shall promptly notify Vicis thereof in writing, and, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor hereby authorizes and directs any insurer concerned to make payment of such loss directly to Vicis as its interest may appear. Vicis is authorized, in the name and on behalf of Debtor, to make proof of loss and to adjust, compromise and collect, in such manner and amounts as it reasonably shall determine, all claims under all policies; and Debtor agrees to sign, on written demand of Vicis, all receipts, vouchers, releases and other instruments which may be necessary or desirable in aid of this authorization. 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 Vicis and disbursed and applied at the discretion of Vicis, either in reduction of the Obligations or applied toward the repair, restoration or replacement of the Collateral.

6
 

3.5              Name; Legal Status. (a) Without providing at least 30 days prior written notice to Vicis, Debtor will not change its name, its place of business or, if more than one, chief executive office, or its mailing address or organizational identification number if it has one, (b) if Debtor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, Debtor shall forthwith notify Vicis of such organizational identification number, and (c) Debtor will not change its type of organization or jurisdiction of organization.

ARTICLE IV
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

4.1              Right to Cure. In case of failure by Debtor after receipt of written notice from Vicis to procure or maintain insurance, or to pay any fees, assessments, charges or taxes (subject to Debtor’s right to contest in good faith, such assessments, charges or taxes) arising with respect to the Collateral, Vicis shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to effect such insurance or pay such fees, assessments, charges or taxes, as the case may be, and, in that event, the cost thereof shall be payable by Debtor to Vicis immediately upon demand, together with interest at an annual rate equal to 10% from the date of disbursement by Vicis to the date of payment by Debtor. If Vicis effects any insurance on behalf of Debtor, Debtor thereafter may cancel such insurance so effected after providing Vicis 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, Vicis may (but is under no obligation so to do):

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

(d)                 to Debtor.

No failure or delay on the part of Vicis 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.
