Entry
into a Material Definitive
Agreement
|
On
March
16, 2007, Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”)
with
various accredited investors (the “Buyers”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Buyers, in a private
placement, an aggregate of approximtely 4,288,712 shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.005 per share (the “Series
B Preferred”),
and
Series B Warrants (the “Series
B Warrants”)
to
purchase approximtely 2,144,356 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value
$0.005 per share (“Common
Stock”).
The
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the
“Transactions”)
were
consummated on March 16, 2007. A copy of the Purchase
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and the Form of Series B Warrant
is
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1. A description of the
material terms of the Transactions is set forth below and is qualified in
its
entirety by reference to the documents attached hereto as exhibits 3.1, 4.1,
4.2
and 10.1 through 10.3, which are incorporated herein by reference.
The
aggregate purchase price paid by the Buyers for the Series B Preferred and
Series B Warrants was approximately $30,000,000. After related
fees and expenses, the Company will receive net proceeds of approximately
$29,000,000. The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate
and
working capital purposes, including without limitation preparing its response
to
a Request for Proposal recently issued by the Department of Defense (see
Press
Release dated March 19, 2007, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1).
Series
B Preferred
To
designate and establish the shares of Series B Preferred, the Company filed
its
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock of Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (“Certificate
of Designations”)
on
March 16, 2007 with the Secretary
of
State
of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Designations is attached hereto
as
Exhibit 3.1.
The
holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to a cash dividend of 5% of the
outstanding Series B Preferred amount payable in semi-annual installments.
Shares of the Series B Preferred are convertible at the holder's election
into
shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate, which is the quotient of (1)
the
amount subject to conversion, divided by (2) the conversion price; provided,
however, that approximately 2,203,010 of the 4,579,010 shares of Series B
Preferred issued in the Transactions are not convertible in any event until
stockholder approval, as required by the NASDAQ Capital Market (and described
below), is obtained. The Series B Preferred has an initial conversion price
of
$7.00 per share, but it is subject to adjustment in the event of certain
corporate transactions, including certain issuances of Common Stock at a
price
below the conversion price of the Series B Preferred. Shares of the Series
B
Preferred are convertible at the Company's election into shares of Common
Stock
at the conversion rate at any time after the six month anniversary of the
effectiveness of a registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration
Rights Agreement if, among other things, the closing sale price of the Company's
Common Stock exceeds $20.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days and
the
average daily trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock during that
30-trading day period exceeds 100,000 shares.
The
Series B Preferred mature on September 16, 2009; upon maturity, the Company
has
the option, if certain conditions are satisfied, to elect either to redeem
any
outstanding Series B Preferred (plus accrued dividends) in cash or to convert
any outstanding Series B Preferred into shares of Common Stock at the existing
conversion rate.
Any
holder of the Series B Preferred may require the Company to redeem all or
a
portion of its Series B Preferred shares if the Company: (1) fails to convert
Series B Preferred within 10 business days of the request for conversion
or
provides written notice to a Series B Preferred holder of its refusal to
comply
with a request for conversion, (2) fails to pay any Series B Preferred holder
any amounts payable in connection with the Transactions within 10 business
days
of the due date for payment, (3) declares or files for bankruptcy or similar
event or one of its significant subsidiaries (as defined by Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
rules
and regulations) declares or files for bankruptcy or similar event, (4) incurs
a
final judgment against it or any of its subsidiaries in excess of $250,000,
which is not bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal within 90 days after
entry, or (5) breaches any representation, warranty or covenant in any of
the
documents entered into in connection with the Transactions contemplated by
the
Purchase Agreement unless the breach or the event or condition giving rise
to
the breach would not have a material adverse effect or if the breach is cured
within 20 days after notice of the breach. A holder who elects redemption
in
this situation is entitled to receive the greater of (a) up to 110% of the
stated amount of the shares to be redeemed plus accrued dividends and (b)
(i)
the closing sale price of the Common Stock on (x) the day before the event
giving rise to the redemption right, (y) the day after the event giving rise
to
the redemption or (z) the day the holder gives notice of redemption (whichever
of the three is greatest) multiplied by (ii) the conversion rate at the time
of
such notice.
A
holder
of the Series B Preferred may also require the Company to redeem all or a
portion of its shares if the Company enters into a change of control
transaction. A holder who
elects
redemption in this situation is entitled to receive the greater of (a) up
to
110% of the stated amount of the shares to be redeemed plus accrued dividends
and (b) (i) the quotient of (x) the closing sale price of the Common Stock
on
(A) the day before announcement of the proposed change of control, (B) the
day
after announcement of the proposed change of control or (C) the day immediately
prior to consummation of the change of control (whichever of the three is
greatest) divided by (y) the conversion price, multiplied by (ii) the dollar
amount to be converted.
Series
B Warrants
The
Series B Warrants have a five-year term and an exercise price of $10.36,
the
closing bid price on the day prior to the Purchase Agreement. The exercise
price
and shares issuable pursuant to the Series B Warrants are subject to adjustment
in the event of certain corporate transactions, including certain issuances
of
Common Stock at a price below the exercise price of the Series B Warrants.
The
Series B Warrants are exercisable in cash, provided, however, that if the
registration statement to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
described below is not effective and available to a holder of Series B Warrants
when required to be effective and available, the Series B Warrants may be
exercised via cashless exercise.
The
holders of Series B Warrants may exercise at any time after September 16,
2007
until expiration; provided, however, that approximately 1,177,528 of the
2,365,528 Series B Warrants issued in the Transactions are not exercisable
in
any event until stockholder approval, as required by the NASDAQ Capital Market,
is obtained. The Company may require any or all of the holders of Series
B
Warrants to exercise their Series B Warrants if the closing sale price of
the
Common Stock exceeds $30.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days.
Notwithstanding
the conversion rights of the Series B Preferred holders and the Company,
and the
exercise rights of the holders of Series B Warrants and the Company, the
Company
may not issue any shares of Common Stock in conversion of the Series B Preferred
or in exercise of any Series B Warrant if the conversion or exercise would
either (1) cause the applicable holder to beneficially own a number of shares
of
Common Stock that exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding after giving effect to the conversion or exercise or (2) cause
the
Company to issue a number of shares of Common Stock that would exceed the
number
of shares of Common Stock that the Company could issue under the rules and
regulations of the exchange on which those shares are traded (which currently,
under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market, is 20% of the Company's
outstanding shares of Common Stock) until such time as the Company receives
the
approval of its stockholders for the issuances in accordance with the rules
of
the NASDAQ Capital Market.
Registration
Rights Agreement
In
connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with the Buyers, dated as of March 16, 2007
(the
“Registration
Rights Agreement”).
Under
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company granted the Buyers certain
registration rights with respect to Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the
Series B Preferred or exercise of the Series B Warrants or the Series C Warrants
(described below and together with the Series B Warrants the
“Warrants”). On or prior to June 14, 2007, the Company is
required to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form
S-3,
or on another appropriate form, covering the resale of all of the shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred and upon
exercise of the Warrants, subject to any limitations imposed by the SEC.
A copy
of the Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit
10.2.
Stockholder
Approval and Voting Agreements
As
discussed above, NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)(ii) requires that,
for
the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of Common Stock (or
securities convertible
into
or
exercisable for Common Stock) equal to 20% or more of the Common Stock
outstanding before the issuance, for less than the greater of book or market
value of the Common Stock, the Company must obtain stockholder approval for
the
issuance. Accordingly, as set forth above, the conversion of the Series B
Preferred and the exercise of the Warrants into Common Stock by their respective
holders are each limited by and subject to obtaining stockholder approval.
The
Company’s Board of Directors has resolved to seek this approval at the Company’s
2007 annual stockholders meeting, and to recommend to its stockholders that
such
approval be given. In connection therewith, the Company has rescheduled its
2007
annual meeting to June 12, 2007 for stockholders of record as of April 17,
2007.
In
connection with obtaining stockholder approval of the foregoing issuances,
on
March 16, 2007, the Company entered into Voting Agreements with Michael
Fonstein, Andrei Gudkov, Yakov Kogan, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation,
ChemBridge Corporation, Sunrise Equity Partners L.P. (“SEP”),
and
Sunrise Securities Corp. ("SSC"), each of whom agreed to vote
in favor of authorizing the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying
all of the Series B Preferred and the Warrants. In the aggregate, these parties
to the Voting Agreement hold approximately 59% of the Company’s outstanding
Common Stock. A copy of the Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit
10.3.
Placement
Agents and Series C Warrants
SSC,
Reedland Capital Partners, an Institutional Division of Financial West
Group
(“Reedland”),
and
Basic Investors, Inc. (“Basic”),
served as placement agents (collectively, the “Agents”)
for
the Transactions. In consideration for their services, each Agent (and
or its
designees) received compensation as follows: SSC received an aggregate
of
290,298 shares of Series B Preferred, Series B Warrants to purchase an
aggregate
of 145,149 shares of Common Stock, and Series C Warrants,
to
purchase 267,074 shares of Common Stock; Reedland received Series B Warrants
to
purchase an aggregate of 63,543 shares of Common Stock and cash compensation
(in
lieu of shares of Series B Preferred and additional Series B Warrants)
of
approximately $444,800; Basic received Series B Warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 12,480 shares of Common Stock and cash compensation (in lieu
of
shares of Series B Preferred and additional Series B Warrants) of approximately
$87,360. In the aggregate, the Series B Preferred and the Warrants issued
in the
Transactions are convertible for, and exercisable into, as of the date
hereof, a
maximum of approximately 6,944,538
shares
of
Common Stock (subject to adjustments for stock splits, anti-dilution,
etc.).
The
Series C Warrants have a five-year term and an exercise price of $11.00.
The
exercise price and shares issuable pursuant to the Series C Warrants
are subject
to adjustment in the event of certain corporate transactions, including
certain
issuances of Common Stock at a price below the exercise price of the
Series C
Warrants. The Series C Warrants are exercisable in cash or via cashless
exercise
at the discretion of the holder of the Series C Warrants.
The
holders of Series C Warrants may exercise at any time after September 16,
2007
until expiration, provided, however, that the holders of the Series C Warrants
may not exercise until stockholder approval, as required by the NASDAQ
Capital
Market, is obtained. Unlike in the case of the Series B Warrants, the Company
does not have the right to require the holders of Series C Warrants to
exercise
the Series C Warrants.
Notwithstanding
the exercise rights of the holders of Series C Warrants, the Company may
not
issue any shares of Common Stock in exercise of any Series C Warrant if
the
conversion or exercise would cause the applicable holder to beneficially
own a
number of shares of Common Stock that exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares
of
Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the exercise.
The
Series C Warrants also contain registration rights separate and apart from
those
set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. These rights entitle the
holders
of Series C Warrants, among other things, to demand two registrations of
the
underlying shares after the later of (a) 15 months from the Closing Date
and (b)
effectiveness of the last registration statement to be filed pursuant to
the
Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing
demand rights, the holders of the Series C Warrants may require that the
Company
effectuate the sale of the shares underlying the Series C Warrants through
an
underwritten public offering using underwriters selected by the holders
of the
Series C Warrants making the demand and at the Company's expense. If, however,
during the 90 day period between the 12 month anniversary of the Closing
Date
and the 15 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the average daily trading
volume of the Company’s Common Stock on the market on which it is primarily
traded is equal to or greater than 100,000 shares, the foregoing demand
registration rights shall terminate. The Series C Warrants also provide
their
holders with certain "piggyback" registration rights in the event the Company
files a registration statement for resale of shares by its stockholders
or in
connection with an underwritten public offering. The Form of Series C Warrant
issued to SSC (and/or its designees) is attached here to at Exhibit
4.2.
Related
Party Transactions
Prior
to
the Transactions, SEP, one of the Buyers, together with SSC, may have been
deemed a holder of more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. In
the Transactions, SEP purchased 600,000 shares of Series B Preferred and
received Series B Warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock. As
mentioned above, the Company also issued 290,298 shares of Series B Preferred,
Series B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 145,149 shares of Common Stock,
and Series C Warrants to purchase 267,074 shares of Common Stock to SSC and/or
its designees in consideration for its services as placement agent. None
of the
securities issued to SEP or SSC (or its designees) are convertible into,
or
exercisable for, Common Stock prior to the Company's receipt of stockholder
approval. The Company has also engaged SSC as its exclusive management agent
regarding all exercises of the Warrants, for which the Company will pay SSC
a
fee equal to 3.5% of the aggregate exercise price of each Warrant, payable
in
cash if the exercise is in cash, or in shares of Common Stock if the exercise
is
cashless.

on or

(the

delivery to the Company on such date the original certificates representing
the
Preferred Shares being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth

Stock Certificates").
(ii)
Company's
Response.
Upon
receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall
(I)
as soon as practicable, but in any event within one (1) Trading Day thereafter,
send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice
to such
Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an
instruction to the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer
Agent")
to
process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (II)
on
or before the third (3rd)
Trading
Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice
(the
"Share
Delivery Date"),
(A)
provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company's
("DTC")
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program and the shares of Common Stock are
not
required to contain legends, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's
balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission
system,
or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program or the shares of Common Stock are required to
contain legends, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion
Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee,
for
the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.
If
the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Stock Certificate(s)
submitted for conversion, as may be required pursuant to Section 2(d)(viii),
is
greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company
shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business
Days
after receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) (the "Preferred
Stock Delivery Date")
and at
its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Stock
Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted. The
Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon a
conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion
Date.
(iii)
Dispute
Resolution.
In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of the Weighted Average Price or
the
arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct
the
Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
that
is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations
or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one (1) Business
Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion Notice or other date of
determination. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the
determination of the Weighted Average Price or arithmetic calculation of
the
Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination
or
arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company
shall
within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination
of the Weighted Average Price to an independent, reputable investment bank
selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders or (B) the disputed
arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company's independent,
outside accountant. The Company shall cause, at the Company's expense, the
investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the
determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holders of
the
results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the
disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank's or accountant's
determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all
parties absent error.
(iv)
Record
Holder.
The
Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon a
conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion
Date.
(v)
Company's
Failure to Timely Convert.
(A) Cash
Damages.
If (x)
within three (3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the facsimile
copy
of a Conversion Notice, (y) on any Company Delivery Date or (z) on the Maturity
Date (if the outstanding Preferred Shares are being converted as of such
date),
the Company shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue
and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common
Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion or the
Company's conversion (including any Maturity Conversion Shares), as applicable,
of Preferred Shares, then in addition to all other available remedies which
such
Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Securities Purchase Agreement
(including indemnification pursuant to Section 9(k) thereof), the Company
shall
pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery
Date, the Company Delivery Date or the Maturity Date, as applicable, that
such
conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one percent (1.0%)
of
the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not
issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, the Company
Delivery Date or the Maturity Date , as applicable, and to which such Holder
is
entitled as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice, in any Company
Conversion Notice or in the Maturity Election Notice and (II) the Closing
Sale
Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date, the Company Delivery
Date
or the Maturity Date, as applicable, in the case of the failure to deliver
Common Stock. Alternatively, at the election of the Holder, if (1) on the
Share
Delivery Date, (2) on any Company Delivery Date, (3) the Maturity Date (if
the
outstanding Preferred Shares are being converted as of such date) or (4)
on any
date of its obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock as contemplated
pursuant to clause (ii) below, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver
a
certificate to a Holder or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC
for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such
Holder's conversion, the Company's Conversion Election or conversion on the
Maturity Date, as applicable, of Preferred Shares, and if on or after such
Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder
of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated
receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
then
the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder's request
and
in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal
to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and
out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
(the
"Buy-In
Price"),
at
which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to
issue
such Common Stock) shall terminate and the Conversion Amount set forth in
the
applicable Conversion Notice shall be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder,
or
(ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate
or
certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in
an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product
of (A)
such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Sale Price on
the
Conversion Date, the Company Delivery Date or the Maturity Date, as applicable.
By complying with either of clauses (i) or (ii) in the preceding sentence
in
accordance with the Holder's request, the Company shall have been deemed
to have
cured the Conversion Failure.
(B) Void
Conversion Notice; Adjustment of Conversion Price.
If for
any reason (other than as a result of a good faith dispute between the Holder
and the Company being resolved in accordance herewith) a Holder has not received
all of the shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior
to the
tenth (10th)
Trading
Day after the Share Delivery Date or Company Delivery Date, as applicable,
with
respect to a conversion of Preferred Shares (a “Conversion
Failure),
then
the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Transfer
Agent, may void its Conversion Notice or any applicable Company Conversion
Notice, with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be,
any
Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder's
Conversion Notice or Company Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding
of a
Holder's Conversion Notice or Company Conversion Notice, as applicable, shall
not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued
prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(d)(v)(A) or otherwise.
Thereafter, the Conversion Failure shall be deemed to have been cured and
the
Conversion Price of any Preferred Shares returned or retained by the Holder
for
failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I) the Conversion
Price relating to the voided Conversion Notice or voided Company Conversion
Notice, as applicable, and (II) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the
Common
Stock during the period beginning on the Conversion Date or Company Delivery
Date, as applicable, and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion
Notice or Company Conversion Notice, as applicable, subject to further
adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.
(vi)
Pro
Rata Conversion; Disputes.
Subject
to Section 10, in the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from
more
than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert
some,
but not all, of such Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each
Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata
amount of such Holder's Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on
the
number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such
Holder
relative to the aggregate number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion
on
such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common
Stock
issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares,
the
Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not
in
dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section
2(d)(iii).
(vii)
No
Redemption.
Other
than as specifically set forth in Section 2(d)(x), the Preferred Shares may
not
be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time, in whole or in part,
without the prior written consent of, and on terms and conditions satisfactory
to, the Required Holders.
(viii)
Book-Entry.
Upon
conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder
thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate
representing the Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or
remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being
converted or (B) a Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice
(which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance
of
Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Preferred Shares. The Holder
and
the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares
so
converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method,
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require
physical surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares upon
each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records
of the Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record
holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence
of
manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Preferred Shares represented
by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the
certificate representing the Preferred Shares unless such Holder first
physically surrenders the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to
the
Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the
order
of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder
may
request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Preferred
Shares
represented by such certificate. A
Holder
and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that,
by
reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any
Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate
may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof.
Each
certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:
ANY
TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE
COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 2(d)(viii) THEREOF. THE
NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN
THE
NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION
2(d)(viii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.
(ix)
Conversion
at the Company's Election.
On any
date (the "Conversion
Election Date")
after
the six month anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) (the "Company Conversion
Election Eligibility Date"),
so
long as (i) the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in
writing
by the applicable Holder from and including the date of the Company Conversion
Election Notice (as defined below) through and including the Company Election
Conversion Date (as defined below), (ii) on each of the thirty (30) consecutive
Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the Company Conversion Election
Notice (the "Company
Conversion Measuring Period"),
the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock exceeds Twenty Dollars ($20.00) (subject
to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations,
combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events during the period
commencing on the Initial Issuance Date and ending on the date of the applicable
Company Conversion Election Notice), (iii) the average daily trading volume
(as
reported on Bloomberg) of the Common Stock for each day of the Company
Conversion Measuring Period exceeds 100,000 shares, the Company shall have
the
right, in its sole discretion, to require that some or all of the outstanding
Preferred Shares be converted (the "Company
Conversion Election")
at the
applicable Conversion Rate and (iv) the Conversion Price is below the Closing
Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Company Delivery Date; provided,
however,
that
the Company may not deliver a Company Conversion Election Notice within thirty
(30) Trading Days of having previously delivered such a notice. The Company
shall exercise its right to Company Conversion Election by providing each
Holder
written notice ("Company
Conversion Election Notice")
by
facsimile and overnight courier on the Conversion Election Date. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company may effect no more than two
Company
Conversion Elections hereunder. The date on which each of such Holders actually
receives the Company Conversion Election Notice is referred to herein as
the
"Company
Conversion Election Notice Date."
If the
Company elects to require conversion of some, but not all, of such Preferred
Shares then outstanding, the Company shall require conversion of an amount
from
each Holder equal to the product of (I) the total number of Preferred Shares
which the Company has elected to convert multiplied by (II) such Holder's
Allocation Percentage (such amount with respect to each Holder of such Preferred
Shares being referred to herein as such Holder's "Pro
Rata Conversion Amount").
In
the event that any initial Holder of the Preferred Shares shall sell or
otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Preferred Shares, the transferee
shall
be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder's Allocation Percentage. The
Company Conversion Election Notice shall indicate (x) the aggregate number
of
such Preferred Shares the Company has selected for conversion, (y) the date
selected by the Company for conversion (the "Company
Delivery Date"),
which
date shall be not less than twenty (20) Trading Days or more than sixty
(60)Trading Days after the Company Conversion Election Notice Date, and (z)
each
Holder's Pro Rata Conversion Amount. Subject to the satisfaction of all the
conditions of this Section 2(d)(x), on the Company Delivery Date each Holder
of
Preferred Shares selected for conversion will be deemed to have submitted
a
Conversion Notice in accordance with Section 2(d)(i) for a number of Preferred
Shares equal to such Holder's Pro Rata Conversion Amount. Notwithstanding
the
above, any Holder may convert such shares (including Preferred Shares selected
for conversion hereunder which shall reduce such Holder's Pro Rata Conversion
Amount) into Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(b) on or prior to the date
immediately preceding the Company Delivery Date. If the Company fails to
convert
any Conversion Amount on the applicable Company Delivery Date, then each
Holder
shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in Section 2(d)(v).
(x)
Mandatory
Conversion and/or Redemption at Maturity.
If
any
Preferred Shares remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, and the Equity
Conditions have been satisfied or waived by the applicable Holder, during
the
period commencing ten (10) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date through
such
Maturity Date, the Company shall convert such Preferred Shares into Common
Stock
(the "Maturity
Conversion Shares")
or, at
the option of the Company, redeem such Preferred Shares in cash in an amount
equal to the outstanding Conversion Amount for such Preferred Shares (the
"Maturity
Date Redemption Price").
On or
prior to the tenth (10th)
Trading
Day prior to the Maturity Date (the "Maturity
Election Notice Date"),
the
Company shall deliver a written notice (the "Maturity
Election Notice")
to
each Holder of Preferred Shares (x) (1) confirming that the Preferred Shares
shall be converted into Common Stock on the Maturity Date or (2) electing
to
redeem such Preferred Shares in cash on the Maturity Date and (y) certifying
that the Equity Conditions have been satisfied. The Company shall be required
to
provide a Maturity Election Notice electing to pay Dividends in cash to the
extent that the Equity Conditions are not satisfied as of the Maturity Election
Notice Date. If the Equity Conditions were satisfied as of the Maturity Election
Notice Date but the Equity Conditions are no longer satisfied at any time
prior
to the Maturity Date, the Company shall provide each Holder a subsequent
notice
to that effect indicating that unless the Holder waives the Equity Conditions,
the outstanding Preferred Shares shall be redeemed in cash on the Maturity
Date.
Outstanding Preferred Shares converted into Maturity Conversion Shares shall
be
paid in a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares (rounded up to the
nearest whole share) of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Conversion
Amount divided by (ii) the Conversion Price. If any Maturity Conversion Shares
are to be issued on the Maturity Date, then the Company shall on the Maturity
Date, (X) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in DTC's Fast Automated
Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled
to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue
and
deliver to such Holder a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder
or
its designee, for the number of Maturity Conversion Shares to which the Holder
shall be entitled. If the outstanding Preferred Shares are to be redeemed
on the
Maturity Date, then Company shall pay the Maturity Date Redemption Price
on the
Maturity Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated in writing by such Holder prior to the Maturity Date. If the Company
fails to convert or redeem all of the Preferred Shares outstanding on the
Maturity Date by delivery of the Maturity Conversion Shares or payment of
the
Maturity Date Redemption Price, as applicable, for each such Preferred Share,
then in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under any Transaction
Document, (A) with respect to the failure to deliver Maturity Conversion
Shares,
(I) the Company shall pay to such Holder the cash damages set forth in Section
2(d)(v)(A) and such Holder may exercise any of the other remedies set forth
in
such Section 2(d)(v)(A) and (II) such Holder shall have the option to require
the Company to redeem in cash any or all of such Holder's Preferred Shares
for
which Maturity Conversion Shares have not been delivered for the applicable
Maturity Date Redemption Price and (B) with respect to the failure to pay
the
Maturity Date Redemption Price, (I) the applicable Maturity Date Redemption
Price payable in respect of such unredeemed Preferred Shares shall bear interest
at the rate of one percent 1.0% per month, prorated for partial months, until
paid in full, and (II) any Holder shall have the option to require the Company
to convert any or all of such Holder's Preferred Shares for which the Maturity
Date Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid
into (on a per Preferred Share basis) shares of Common Stock equal to the
number
which results from dividing the Maturity Date Redemption Price (together
with
any interest thereon) by the Default Conversion Price. If the Company has
failed
to deliver the Maturity Conversion Shares or to pay the Maturity Date Redemption
Price, as applicable, in a timely manner as described above, then the Maturity
Date shall be automatically extended for any Preferred Shares until the date
the
Holders receive such shares of Common Stock or Maturity Date Redemption Price
and shall be further extended for any Preferred Shares for as long as (A)
the
conversion of such Preferred Shares would violate the provisions of Section
5 or
(B) a Triggering Event or
an
event
that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a Triggering
Event shall have occurred and be continuing.
(e) Taxes.
(i)
Any
and all payments made by the Company hereunder, including any amounts received
on a conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares and any amounts on
account
of dividends or deemed dividends, must be made by it without any Tax Deduction,
unless a Tax Deduction is required by law. If the Company is aware that it
must
make a Tax Deduction (or that there is a change in the rate or the basis
of a
Tax Deduction), it must notify the affected Holders promptly.
(ii)
If a
Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by the Company, subject to Section
2(e)(i) above, the amount of the payment due from the Company will be increased
to an amount which (after making the Tax Deduction including a Tax Deduction
applicable to additional sums payable pursuant to this Section 2(e)) leaves
an
amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction
had
been required. If the Company is required to make a Tax Deduction, it must
make
the minimum Tax Deduction allowed by law and must make any payment required
in
connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed by law. As soon
as
practicable after making a Tax Deduction or a payment required in connection
with a Tax Deduction, the Company must deliver to the Holder any
official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required by the taxing
authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.
(iii)
In
addition, the Company agrees to pay in accordance with applicable law any
present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder
or
in connection with the execution, delivery, registration or performance of,
or
otherwise with respect to, the Preferred Shares ("Other
Taxes").
As
soon
as practicable after making a payment of Other Taxes, the Company must deliver
to such Holder any official receipt or form, if any, provided by or required
by
the taxing authority to whom the Tax Deduction was paid.
(iv)
The
obligations of the Company under this Section 2(e) shall survive the payment
for
the Preferred Shares and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(f) Adjustments
to Conversion Price.
The
Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided
in
this Section 2(f).
(i)
Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.
If and
whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells,
or in
accordance with this Section 2(f) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common
Stock (including the issuance or sale of Common Stock owned or held by or
for
the account of the Company but excluding Excluded Securities) for a
consideration per share (the "New
Securities Issuance Price")
less
than a price (the "Applicable
Price")
equal
to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such time (a
"Dilutive
Issuance"),
then
immediately after such issue or sale, the Conversion Price then in effect
shall
be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (x) the Conversion Price
in
effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (y) the quotient of
(1)
the sum of (I) the product of the Applicable Price and the number of shares
of
Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance
and
(II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive
Issuance, divided by (2) the product of (I) the Applicable Price multiplied
by
(II) the number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately
after
such Dilutive Issuance. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion
Price under this Section 2(f)(i), the following shall be
applicable:
(A) Issuance
of Options.
If the
Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per
share
for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any
such
Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such
Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(A),
the
"lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon
the
exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal
to
the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting
or
sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange
or
exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.
No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual
issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock
upon
conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
(B) Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the
lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such
conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 2(f)(i)(B), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise" shall be equal
to
the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable
by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance
or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or
exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion
Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon
conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any
such
issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any
Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be
made
pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(f)(i), no further adjustment
of
the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(C) Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the
purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional
consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise
of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes
at
any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall
be
adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such
time
had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase
price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may
be,
at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section
2(f)(i)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was
outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares are changed
in
the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option
or
Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of
the
date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would
result
in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
(D) Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
of
the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have
been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be
deemed
to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration
other
than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the
Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such
consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount
of
consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the
Closing Sale Prices of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading
Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of
any
consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by
the
Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement
within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation
(the
"Valuation
Event"),
the
fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10th)
day
following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected
by
the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser
shall
be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and
expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(E) Record
Date.
If the
Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of
entitling them (I) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in
Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for or purchase
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will
be
deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to
have
been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of
such
other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription
or
purchase, as the case may be; provided,
however,
that
the Company may without penalty defer until occurrence of such event issuing
to
any Holder, upon conversion of any Preferred Shares converted after such
record
date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required
by such
event, over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
before giving effect to such adjustment; and provided, further, that any
such
adjustment shall be reversed or shall not become effective, as applicable,
if
the Company abandons the action to which the record date pertains.
(ii)
Adjustment
of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common
Stock.
If the
Company at any time after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock
split,
stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of
Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If
the
Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise)
its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares and the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased.
(iii)
Other
Events.
If any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(f)
but
not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other
rights
with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an
appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights
of
the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion
Price
as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2(f).
(g) Notices.
(i)
Promptly
upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2(f), the
Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder, setting forth in
reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In
the
case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute
shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
2(d)(iii).
(ii)
The
Company will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business
Days
prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record
(I)
with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II)
with
respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or
(III)
for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction
or
Liquidation Event, provided that such information shall be made known to
the
public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such
Holder.
(iii)
The
Company will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation
Event
will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the
public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such
Holder
(such notice, an "Event
Notice").
(3) Redemption
at Option of Holders.
(a) Triggering
Event.
A
"Triggering
Event"
shall
be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:
(i)
the
Company's (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required
number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after the
applicable Conversion Date or (B) written notice, to any Holder, including
by
way of public announcement, or through any of its agents, at any time, of

with
the provisions of this Certificate of Designations;
(ii)
the
Company's failure to pay to the Holder any amounts (other than amounts subject
to a good faith dispute between the Holder and the Company) when and as due
pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or any other Transaction Document
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), if such failure to pay
continues for ten (10) Business Days after the applicable due date for such
payment;
(iii)
the

by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of a voluntary
case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving
as
properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or
composition of or in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary
under
any applicable Federal or State law or (iii) appointing a custodian, receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of
the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the
continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree
or
order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive
days;
(iv)
the
commencement by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of a voluntary
case or

a
decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal
or
State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the
commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it,
or
the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization
or
relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to
the
filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by
a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or of any
substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for
the
benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability
to pay
its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action
by the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary in furtherance of any such
action;
(v)
a
final
judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $250,000
are rendered against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments
are not, within ninety (90) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged
or
stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within ninety (90) days after
the
expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered
by insurance or an indemnity from a creditworthy party shall not be included
in
calculating
the
$250,000 amount set forth above so long as the Company provides the Holders
with
a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written
statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders) to the
effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and the
Company will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within thirty
(30) days of the issuance of such judgment; and
(vi)
the
Company breaches any representation, warranty or covenant in any of the
Transaction Documents, except to the extent that such breach, or the event
or

and except, in the case of a breach that is curable, only if such breach
continues for a period of twenty (20) days after notice of such breach to
the
Company by a Holder.
(b) Redemption
Option Upon Triggering Event.
After
the occurrence of a Triggering Event and prior to the thirtieth (30th)
day
following the date such Triggering Event is cured, each Holder shall have
the
right, at such Holder's option, to require the Company to redeem all or a
portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share
equal
to the greater of (i) 110% of the Stated Value plus the applicable Dividend
Amount through the applicable redemption date (or, in the case of the Triggering
Events set forth in Sections 3(a)(iii) and 3(a)(iv) above, 100% of such amount)
and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as
such
Holder delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (as defined below)
and (B) the greater of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the
Trading
Day immediately preceding such Triggering Event, the Closing Sale Price of
the
Common Stock on the day immediately following such Triggering Event and the
Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date the Holder delivers the
Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (the "Option
of Holder Redemption Price").
(c) Mechanics
of Redemption at Option of Buyer.
Within
one (1) Business Day after the Company becomes or should have become aware
of a
qualifying Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof
via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice
of Triggering Event")
to
each Holder. At any time after a Holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering
Event and prior to the thirtieth (30th)
day
following such time as the event or condition giving rise to the Triggering
Event is cured and the Holder receives written notice from the Company to
such
effect, any Holder of Preferred Shares then outstanding may require the Company
to redeem up to all of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering (such
date
of delivery, the "Redemption
at Option of Holder Notice Date")
written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice
of Redemption at Option of Holder")
to the
Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate the
number of Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem.
(d) Payment
of Option of Holder Redemption Price.
Upon
the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer from
any
Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify
each other Holder by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such notice(s).
The
Company shall deliver on the fifth (5th)
Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption
at
Option of Holder (such date, the "Option
of Holder Redemption Date")
the
applicable Option of Holder Redemption Price to all Holders that deliver
a
Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the third (3rd)
Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption
at
Option of Holder. Redemptions required by this Section 3 shall be deemed
to be
voluntary redemptions. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Preferred
Shares submitted for redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata
amount
from each Holder of such Holder's Allocation Percentage multiplied by the
total
number of Preferred Shares to be redeemed from all Holders and (ii) in addition
to any remedy such Holder may have under this Certificate of Designations
and
the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay to each Holder interest at a rate
equal
to the lesser of one percent (1.0%) per month and the maximum rate permitted
by
law (prorated for partial months) in respect of each unredeemed Preferred
Share
until paid in full. The Holders and Company agree that in the event of the
Company's redemption of any Preferred Shares under this Section 3, the Holders'
damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties'
inability to predict future dividend rates and the uncertainty of the
availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders.
Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 3 is intended
by the
parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders'
actual
loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty
(e) Void
Redemption.
In the
event that the Company does not pay a Redemption Price within ten (10) Business
Days after the Option of Holder Redemption Date or Change of Control Redemption
Date, as applicable, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such
unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option
to,
in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Holder
any
or all of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption by such
Holder
and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid, by sending
written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the "Void
Optional Redemption Notice").
Upon
the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the
applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to those
Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice and the
Company’s failure to pay the applicable Redemption Price shall be deemed cured,
(ii) the Company shall immediately return any Preferred Shares subject to
the
Void Optional Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned
Preferred Shares shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price
as
in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered
to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock
during the period beginning on the date on which the applicable Redemption
Notice is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void
Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company, as applicable, subject
to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of
Designations.
(f) Disputes.
In the
event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation
of the
Option of Holder Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant
to
Section 2(d)(iii) above with the term "Option of Holder Redemption Price"
being
substituted for the term "Conversion Rate". A Holder's delivery of a Void
Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice
shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have
accrued prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant
to this Section 3 of less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by
a
particular Preferred Stock Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause
to be
issued and delivered to the Holder of such Preferred Shares a Preferred Stock
Certificate representing the remaining Preferred Shares which have not been
redeemed, if necessary.
(4) Other
Rights of Holders.
(a) Assumption.
The
Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless
the
Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company
under
this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a) pursuant to written
agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and
approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction,
including agreements to deliver to each Holder of Preferred Shares in exchange
for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by
a
written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this
Certificate of Designations including, without limitation, having a stated
value
and dividend rate equal to the stated value and dividend rate of the Preferred
Shares held by such Holder and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares,
and satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental
Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for
(so
that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions
of
this Certificate of Designations referring to the "Company" shall refer instead
to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company
and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate
of
Designations with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named
as
the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the
Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall
be
issued upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at
any
time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the
shares of Common Stock (or
other
securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable
upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental
Transaction,
such
shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor
Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate
of
Designations. The
provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive
Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations
on the conversion of the Preferred Shares.
(b) Purchase
Rights.
If at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
to
the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"),
then
the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have
acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account
any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares)
immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance
or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date
as of
which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, in any such case the provisions of Section
2(f) shall not be applicable to such grant, issuance or sale by the
Company.
(5) Reservation
of Shares.
(a) Commencing
on the Initial Issuance Date, the Company shall reserve out of its authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock for
each
Preferred Share equal to 120% of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock necessary to effect the conversion at the Conversion Rate with respect
to
the Conversion Amount of each such Preferred Share as of the Initial Issuance
Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the
exercise of all of the Warrants. So long as any of the Preferred Shares are
outstanding, the Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to reserve
and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely
for
the purpose of effecting the conversions of the Preferred Shares, such number
of
shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect
the
conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding; provided that
at no
time shall the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved be less than
the
number of shares required to be reserved by reason of the foregoing sentence
(without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the "Required
Reserve Amount").
The
initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the
Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall
be
allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares
held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Preferred Shares or increase
in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the "Authorized
Share Allocation").
In
the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's
Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of
the
number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any
shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases
to hold
any Preferred Shares (other than pursuant to a transfer of Preferred Shares
in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) shall be allocated to
the
remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Preferred
Shares then held by such Holders.
(b) Insufficient
Authorized Shares.
If at
any time while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company
does
not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common
Stock
to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
Required Reserve Amount (an "Authorized
Share Failure"),
then
the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company's
authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company
to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Preferred Shares then
outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as
soon
as reasonably practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized
Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its
stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized
shares
of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide
each
stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts
to
solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares
of
Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the
stockholders that they approve such proposal.
(6) Voting
Rights.
Subject
to Sections 7 and 10 and except as otherwise required by law, each Holder
shall
be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of
Common
Stock into which such Holder's Preferred Shares would be convertible on the
record date for the vote or consent of stockholders, and shall otherwise
have
voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common
Stock; provided, however, that the voting rights hereunder shall be limited
or
reduced if necessary to comply with any applicable rules and regulations
of the
Principal Market. Each Holder shall be entitled to receive the same prior
notice
of any stockholders' meeting as is provided to the holders of Common Stock
in
accordance with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior notice of all
stockholder actions to be taken by legally available means in lieu of a meeting,
and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock as if they were
a
single class of securities upon any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders,
except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be submitted
to a
class vote of the Holders of Preferred Shares, in which case the Holders
of
Preferred Shares only shall vote as a separate class.
(7) Limitation
on Beneficial Ownership.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall
not
effect any conversion of Preferred Shares, and no Holder shall have the right
to
convert any Preferred Shares, to the extent that after giving effect to such
conversion, the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such Person's
affiliates) would have acquired, through conversion of Preferred Shares or
otherwise, beneficial ownership of a number of shares of Common Stock that
exceeds 9.99% ("Maximum
Percentage")
of the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect
to
such conversion. The Company shall not give effect to any voting rights of
the
Preferred Shares, and any Holder shall not have the right to exercise voting
rights with respect to any Preferred Shares pursuant hereto, to the extent
that
giving effect to such voting rights would result in such Holder (together
with
its affiliates) being deemed to beneficially own in excess of the Maximum
Percentage of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after
giving effect to such exercise, assuming such exercise as being equivalent
to
conversion. For purposes of the foregoing, the number of shares of Common
Stock
beneficially owned by a Person and its affiliates shall include the number
of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with
respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall
exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(A)
conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Shares beneficially owned
by
such Person or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any notes or warrants) subject to a limitation
on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section
beneficially owned by such Person or any of its affiliates. Except as set
forth
in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 7, beneficial ownership
shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
For
purposes of this Section 7, in determining the number of outstanding shares
of
Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB
or
Form 8-K, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the
Company, or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting
forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at
any
time, upon the written or oral request of any Holder, the Company shall within
two (2) Business Days following the receipt of such notice, confirm orally
and
in writing to any such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall
be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities
of
the Company, including the Preferred Shares, by such Holder and its affiliates
since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
was
reported.
(8) Change
of Control Redemption Right; Liquidation, Dissolution,
Winding-Up.
(a) Change
of Control.
No
sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the
consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement
of
such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof
via
facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (a "Change
of Control Notice").
At
any time during the period (the "Change
of Control Period")
beginning after a Holder's receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending
on
the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such
Change
of Control, such Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion
of
such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering (such date of delivery, the
"Change
of Control Redemption Notice Date")
written notice thereof ("Change
of Control Redemption Notice")
to the
Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion
Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject to
redemption pursuant to this Section 8 shall be redeemed by the Company
in
cash
at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product (x) the sum of the Conversion
Amount being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the
greater of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately prior to
the
consummation of the Change of Control, the Closing Sale Price of the Common
Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change
of
Control and the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock immediately prior
to the
public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (B) the Conversion
Price and (ii) 110% of the Stated Amount plus the applicable Dividend Amount
(the
"Change
of Control Redemption Price").
Upon
the Company's receipt of a Change of Control Redemption Notice(s) from any
Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day of such receipt notify
each other Holder by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such notice(s).
The
Company shall make payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price
concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control to all Holders
that
deliver a Change of Control Redemption Notice prior to the consummation of
such
Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company's receipt
of such notice otherwise (the "Change
of Control Redemption Date").
Redemptions required by this Section 8(a) shall be deemed to be voluntary
redemptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(a),
until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest
thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption
under
this Section 8 may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into
shares
of Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation
of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity
substantially equivalent to the Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section
2(c)(i). The Holders and the Company agree that in the event of the Company's
redemption of any Preferred Shares under this Section 8(a), the Holder's
damages
would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability
to predict future dividend rates and the uncertainty of the availability
of a
suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any
redemption premium due under this Section 8(a) is intended by the parties
to be,
and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of
its
investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company
does
not pay the Change of Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control
Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption
pursuant to Section 3(e).
(b) Liquidation.
In the
event of a Liquidation Event (such date, a "Liquidation
Date"),
the
Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company,
whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its
stockholders (the "Liquidation
Funds"),
before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any Common Stock or other
capital stock of the Company (other than the Preferred Shares) in respect
of the
preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution
and
winding up of the Company, an amount per Preferred Share equal to the sum
of (i)
the Stated Amount plus (ii) the applicable Dividend Amount; provided that,
if
the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the
Holders
and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the
Company that are of equal rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of
Liquidation Funds (the "Pari
Passu Shares"),
then
each Holder and each holder of Pari Passu Shares shall receive a percentage
of
the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable
to
such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective
Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights, as a percentage of the
full
amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and
Pari
Passu Shares. After the foregoing distributions, the Holders shall be entitled,
on a pari
passu
basis
with the holders of Common Stock and treating for the purpose thereof all
of the
Preferred Shares as having been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section
2, to participate in the distribution of any remaining assets of the Company
to
the holders of the outstanding Common Stock. To the extent necessary, the
Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so
as to
enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation
Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section. All
the
preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section shall be
paid
or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment
of any
amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to,
the
holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred stock of the Company
junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event
as
to which this Section applies. The purchase or redemption by the Company
of
stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes
hereof, be regarded as a Liquidation Event.
(9) Preferred
Rank.
All
shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company (other than
the
Preferred Shares) shall be of junior rank to all Preferred Shares with respect
to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the
liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The rights of the
shares
of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company (other than the Preferred
Shares) shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred
Shares. Without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders,
the
Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital
stock
that is of senior or pari-passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of
the
preferences as to distributions and payments upon a Liquidation Event. The
Company shall be permitted to issue preferred stock that is junior in rank
to
the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to dividends and other
distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding
up of
the Company, provided any of such junior preferred stock is not subject to
redemption.
(10) Limitation
on Number of Conversion Shares.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall
not
issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
or
exercise of the Warrants if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would
exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue
upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon exercise of the Warrants without
breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the
Principal Market (the "Exchange
Cap"),
except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company
(a)
obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules
of
the Principal Market (and any successor rule or regulation) for issuances
of
Common Stock in excess of such amount, or (b) obtains a written opinion from
outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which
opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval
or
written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of Preferred Shares pursuant to
the
Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchasers")
shall
be issued, in the aggregate, upon conversion of Preferred Shares or exercise
of
the Warrants, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product
of
(i) the Exchange Cap amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator
of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares
and Warrants issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying all of the Preferred
Shares (other than Non-Convertible Preferred Shares) and Warrants (other
than
the Non-Convertible Warrants, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
issued to the Purchasers on the Initial Issuance Date pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement (the "Exchange
Cap Allocation").
In
the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such
Purchaser's Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata
portion of such Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation. In the event that any
Holder shall convert all of such Holder's Preferred Shares into and exercise
all
of such Holder’s Warrants for into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in
the aggregate, is less than such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the
difference between such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of
shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder shall be allocated
to the
respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining Holders on a pro rata
basis
in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred
Shares and Warrants then held by each such Holder.
(11) Participation.
Subject
to the rights of the holders, if any, of the Pari Passu Shares, the Holders
shall, as holders of Preferred Shares, be entitled to such dividends paid
and
distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if
such
Holders had converted the Preferred Shares into Common Stock (without regard
to
any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares
of
Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments
under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend
or
distribution to the holders of Common Stock. Following the occurrence of
a
Liquidation Event and the payment in full to a Holder of its applicable
liquidation preference, such Holder shall cease to have any rights hereunder
to
participate in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders
of
Common Stock.
(12) Consent
of Required Holders.
In
addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written
consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or
by
another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote
at a
meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent of the Required
Holders, shall be required before the Company may: (a) amend or repeal any
provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or
bylaws, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations,
preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock,
if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights,
privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the
Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means
of
amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation
or
otherwise; (b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized
number of shares of Preferred Shares; (c) create or authorize (by
reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares that has
a
preference over, or is on a parity with, the Preferred Shares with respect
to
dividends or the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company; (d) purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares
of
Common Stock (other than pursuant to equity incentive agreements with employees
giving the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of
services); (e) pay cash dividends on the Common Stock;
(f)
incur,
suffer to exist or assume any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness;
or
(g) suffer to exist any Liens other than Permitted Liens.
(13) Lost
or Stolen Certificates.
Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock Certificates
representing the Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company
in
customary form and, if requested by the Company, the posting of reasonable
bond
or other security, and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Company shall execute
and deliver new preferred stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date;
provided,
however,
the
Company shall not be obligated to re-issue preferred stock certificates if
the
Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Preferred Shares
into Common Stock.
(14) Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive
Relief.
Except
as otherwise provided herein, the remedies provided in this Certificate of
Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available
under this Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a
decree
of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained
herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving
rise to
such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual
or
consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms
of
this Certificate of Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder that
there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than
as
expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with
respect
to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall
be the
amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly
provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the
performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that
the
remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore
agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders
shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.
(15) Construction.
This
Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the
Company
and all Buyers (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and shall
not
be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
(16) Failure
or Indulgence Not Waiver.
No
failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right
or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or
partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or
further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
(17) Notice.
Whenever notice or other communication is required to be given under this
Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice
shall
be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement
(provided that if the Preferred Shares are not held by a Buyer then substituting
the words "holder of Securities" for the word "Buyer").
(18) Transfer
of Preferred Shares.
A
Holder may assign some or all of the Preferred Shares and the accompanying
rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Company;
provided
that
such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities law and the terms
and conditions hereof and of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(19) Preferred
Share Register.
The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other
office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a
register for the Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the
name
and address of the persons in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued,
as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat
the
person in whose name any Preferred Share is registered on the register as
the
owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to
the
contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made
transfers.
(20) Stockholder
Matters.
To the
extent permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any stockholder action,
approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the DGCL,
this
Certificate of Designations or otherwise with respect to the issuance of
the
Preferred Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or
the
issuance of any Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof
may
be effected by written consent of the Company's stockholders or at a duly
called
meeting of the Company's stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable
rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the DGCL. This provision
is
intended to comply with the applicable sections of the DGCL permitting
stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu
of
a meeting.
(21) Disclosure.
Upon
receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms
of
this Certificate of Designations, unless the Company has in good faith

Shares of Common Stock:_____________

of
Issuance: March 16, 2007 ("Issuance
Date")
Cleveland
BioLabs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [BUYER] the registered holder
hereof or its permitted assigns (the "Holder"),
is
entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company,
at
the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of
this
Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common
Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"),
at
any time or times on or after September 16, 2007 (the "Initial
Exercise Date"),
but
not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined
below
___________________(______________)1
fully
paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the
"Warrant
Shares").
Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall
have
the meanings set forth in Section 15. This Warrant is one of the Warrants
(as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) to purchase Common Stock
(the
"SPA
Warrants"
issued
pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated
as of
March 16, 2007 (the "Subscription
Date"),
by
and among the Company and the investors (the "Buyers")
referred to therein (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement").
1 Insert
number of shares equal to 50% of the Conversion Amount (as defined in
the
Certificate of Designations) on the Issuance Date divided by the initial
Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of
Designations).
1. EXERCISE
OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics
of Exercise.
Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the
limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by
the
Holder on any day on or after the Initial Exercise Date, in whole or in
part by
(i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B (the
"Exercise
Notice"),
of
the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, (ii) (A) payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied
by the
number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the
"Aggregate
Exercise Price")
in
cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (B) to the extent
permitted by Section 1(d), by notifying the Company that this Warrant is
being
exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)),
and
(iii) if required by Section 2(h) or unless the Holder has previously delivered
this Warrant to the Company and it or a new replacement Warrant has not
yet been
delivered to the Holder, the surrender of this Warrant to a common carrier
for
overnight delivery to the Company; provided, that if such Warrant Shares
are to
be issued in any name other than that of the registered holder of this
Warrant,
such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section
7(a)
shall be applicable. On or before the first (1st) Business Day following
the
date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice, the
Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) and, if required,
this Warrant (collectively, the "Exercise
Delivery Documents"),
the
Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of
receipt
of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company's transfer
agent (the "Transfer
Agent").
On or
before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the Company
has
received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the "Share
Delivery Date"),
the
Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in
The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder,
credit
such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is
entitled
pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account
with
DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the
Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address
as
specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's
share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number
of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise. Upon delivery to the Company of the Exercise Delivery Documents,
the
Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder
of
record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been
exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to
the
Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing
such
Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection
with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant
Shares
represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the
number of
Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall
as soon
as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after
any
exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with
Section
7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less
the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.
No
fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of
this
Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall
be
rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all
taxes
which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant
Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant, other than income, franchise, profits or
similar
taxes of the Holder or taxes resulting from issuance of Warrant Shares
to a
Person other than the Holder.
(b) Exercise
Price.
For
purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise
Price"
means
$10.36, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Company's
Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.
If the
Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder
within
three (3) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
is
entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share
register or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such number
of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's
exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available
to
the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after
such
third Business Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is
not
timely effected an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the sum of
the
number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis
and
to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the shares
of
Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible
date
which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the
Holder
without violating Section 1(a). In addition to the foregoing, if within
three
(3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents,
the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder
and
register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share register or
credit
the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common
Stock
to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's exercise hereunder or
if the
Company fails to deliver to the Holder the certificate or certificates
representing the applicable Warrant Shares (or credit the Holder's balance
account at DTC with the applicable Warrant Shares) within three (3) Trading
Days
after its obligation to do so under clause (ii) below and if on or after
such
Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder
of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated
receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
then
the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request
and
in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal
to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions,
if any)
for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In
Price"),
at
which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate or credit
such
Holder's balance account with DTC (and to issue such shares of Common Stock)
shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the
Holder
a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock
or credit
such Holder's balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an
amount
equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A)
such
number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the
date of
exercise. By complying with either of clauses (i) or (ii) in the preceding
sentence in accordance with the Holder's request, the Company shall have
been
deemed to have cured the failure to timely deliver such shares of Common
Stock.
(d) Cashless
Exercise.
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Registration Statement
(as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the Warrant Shares
that
are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the "Unavailable
Warrant Shares")
is
required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to be available
for the
resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares but is not so available, the
Holder
may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part
and, in
lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the
Company
upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead
to
receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined
according to the following formula (a "Cashless
Exercise"):
Net
Number = (A
x
B) - (A x C)
B
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:
A=
the
total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.
B=
the
arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common
Stock
(as reported by Bloomberg) over the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending
on
the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C=
the
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the
time of
such exercise.
(e) Disputes.
In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly
issue
to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve
such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
(f) Limitations
on Exercises.
(i) Beneficial
Ownership.
The
Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall
not
have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving
effect
to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates)
would
beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the "Maximum
Percentage")
of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number
of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being
made,
but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially
owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion
of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without
limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes
of
this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance
with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange
Act").
For
purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares
of
Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common
Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-KSB,
Form
10-Q, Form 10-QSB, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with
the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent
public
announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the
Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder,
the
Company shall within one Business Day confirm orally and in writing to
the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case,
the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including
the
SPA Securities and the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since
the
date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported.
(ii) Principal
Market Regulation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company
shall not
be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this
Warrant
if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed that number
of
shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon exercise or conversion,
as applicable, of the SPA Warrants and SPA Securities or otherwise without
breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the
Principal Market (the "Exchange
Cap"),
except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company
(A)
obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable
rules of
the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock in excess
of such
amount or (B) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company
that
such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory
to
the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained,
no
Buyer shall be issued in the aggregate, upon exercise or conversion, as
applicable, of any SPA Warrants or SPA Securities, shares of Common Stock
in an
amount greater than the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying
the SPA Warrants and SPA Securities issued to such Buyer pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance Date and the denominator
of which
is the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying all of the
SPA
Warrants (other than the Non-Convertible Warrants (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement)) and SPA Securities (other than the Non-Convertible
Preferred Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) issued
to
the Buyers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Issuance
Date
(with respect to each Buyer, the "Exchange
Cap Allocation").
In
the event that any Buyer shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Buyer's
SPA Warrants, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such
Buyer's Exchange Cap Allocation, and the restrictions of the prior sentence
shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange
Cap
Allocation allocated to such transferee. In the event that any holder of
SPA
Warrants shall exercise all of such holder's SPA Warrants for, convert
all of
such holder’s SPA Securities into, a number of shares of Common Stock which, in
the aggregate, is less than such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then
the
difference between such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number
of
shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder shall be allocated
to the
respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of SPA Warrants
and
SPA Securities on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common
Stock
underlying the SPA Warrants and SPA Securities then held by each such holder.
In
the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing any Warrant Shares
for
which Exercise Delivery Documents have been received as a result of the
operation of this Section 1(f)(ii), the Company shall pay cash in exchange
for
cancellation of such Warrant Shares, at a price per Warrant Share equal
to the
difference between Weighted Average Price and the Exercise Price as of
the date
of the attempted exercise.
(g) Insufficient
Authorized Shares.
If at
any time while this Warrant remain outstanding the Company does not have
a
sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to
satisfy
its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at
least a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to 130% (the "Required
Reserve Amount")
of the
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary
to
effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (an "Authorized
Share Failure"),
then
the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the
Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to
allow the
Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then
outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence,
as soon
as reasonably practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized
Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its
stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized
shares
of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide
each
stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts
to
solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares
of
Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the
stockholders that they approve such proposal.
(h) Book-Entry.
Upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder
shall
not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless
it is
being exercised for all of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant.
The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares exercised and issued and the dates of such exercises or shall use
such
other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so
as not
to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise.
In the
event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing
the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if this Warrant is exercised as aforesaid, the Holder may
not
transfer this Warrant unless the Holder first physically surrenders this
Warrant
to the Company in accordance with Section 7(a). The Holder and any assignee,
by
acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following exercises of any portion of this
Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant may be
less
than the number stated on the face hereof.
(i) [INSERT
IN NON-CONVERTIBLE WARRANTS:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant shall not be exercisable until
after
the Stockholder Approval Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement).]
2. ADJUSTMENT
OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.
The
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from
time to
time as follows:
(a) Adjustment
upon Issuance of shares of Common Stock.
If and
whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells,
or in
accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares
of
Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
owned or
held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common
Stock
deemed to have been issued by the Company in connection with any Excluded
Securities (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) for a consideration
per share (the "New
Issuance Price")
less
than a price (the "Applicable
Price")
equal
to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale
or
deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive
Issuance"),
then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Exercise
Price in
effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient
determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying
the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and
the
number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to
such
Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the
Company
upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying
(I) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by
(II) the
number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such
Dilutive Issuance.
Upon
each
such adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant
Shares
shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment
by
the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by
the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. For purposes of determining
the
adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(a), the following shall be
applicable:
(i)
Issuance
of Options.
If the
Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share
for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such
Option
or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities
issuable
upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then
such
share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued
and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option
for
such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(i), the "lowest
price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise
of such
Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of any such Option" shall be equal to the sum of
the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the
Company
with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale
of the
Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of
any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further
adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made
upon
the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance
of such
shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii)
Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the
lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 2(a)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof" shall
be
equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received
or
receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon
the
issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise
or
exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Exercise
Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such
shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities
is made
upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been
or is
to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(a), no further
adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made
by
reason of such issue or sale.
(iii)
Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
into
or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or
decreases
at any time, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect
at
the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise
Price
and the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such
time
had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased
or
decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased
conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued
or
sold. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option
or
Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of
this
Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately
preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares
of
Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof
shall
be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.
No
adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made if such adjustment
would
result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease
in the
number of Warrant Shares.
(iv)
Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
of
the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no
specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the
Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any
shares
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or
deemed
to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor
will
be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any
shares
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for
a
consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received
by the
Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such
consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the Weighted Average Price of such security
on
the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount
of
consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion
of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable
to
such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the
case may
be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will
be
determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties
are
unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of
an event
requiring valuation (the "Valuation
Event"),
the
fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10th)
day
following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of
such
appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error
and
the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the
Company.
(v)
Record
Date.
If the
Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the
purpose
of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable
in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the
issue or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon
the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or
the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the
case may
be.
(vi)
Floor
Price.
Until
such time as the Company receives the Stockholder Approval, no adjustment
pursuant to Section 2(a) shall cause the Exercise Price to be less than
$10.36,
as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,
reclassification or similar transaction.
(b) Adjustment
upon Subdivision or Combination of shares of Common Stock.
If the
Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any
stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes
of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the
Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately
reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.
If
the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by
combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.
Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close
of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(c) Other
Events.
If any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section
2 but
not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other
rights
with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make
an
appropriate adjustment consistent with the provisions of this Section 2
in the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights
of
the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c)
will
increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
3. RIGHTS
UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.
If the
Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its
assets
(or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock,
by way
of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any
distribution of stock or other securities, property or options by way of
a
dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of
arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution")
at any
time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, any Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record
date
fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled
to
receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of
business
on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise
Price by
a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Weighted Average Price
of the
shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record
date
minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of shares of Common
Stock,
and (ii) the denominator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the shares
of
Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date;
provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares
of
Common Stock (or common stock) ("Other
Shares of Common Stock")
of a
company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange
or a
national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive
a
warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase
in the
number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those
of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number
of shares
of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder
pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to
the
product of the amount by which the Exercise Price of this Warrant was decreased
with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of this Section
3.
4. PURCHASE
RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Purchase
Rights.
If at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro
rata to
the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"),
then
the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on the
exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record
is taken
for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such
record
is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock
are
to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights;
provided
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein in any
such case
the provisions of Section 2 shall not be applicable to such grant, issuance
or
sale by the Company.
(b) Fundamental
Transactions.
The
Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction in
which
the Company is not a surviving entity holding all or substantially all
of the
assets that the Company held prior to such Fundamental Transaction, unless
the
Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company
under
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the
provisions of this Section (4)(b) pursuant to written agreements in form
and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, including agreements
to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security
of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar
in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an
adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock
reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable
for a
corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares
of
Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.
Prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which
holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or
other
assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a
"Corporate
Event"),
the
Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant
at
any
time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but
prior
to the Expiration Date,
in lieu
of the shares of the Common Stock (or
other
securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable
upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental
Transaction,
such
shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever
(including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the
Holder
would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental
Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction. Provision
made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this
Section
shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions
and
Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations
on the
exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one
in which
a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is
quoted
or listed for trading on an Eligible Market assumes this Warrant such that
the
Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded Common Stock of such
Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth
(90th)
day
after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity)
shall
purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five
(5)
Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of
the
Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes
value of
the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such
Fundamental Transaction calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing
Model.
5. NONCIRCUMVENTION.
The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment
of
its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization,
transfer
of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue
or
sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will
at all
times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take
all
action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without
limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par
value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant
above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions
as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company
may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the
SPA
Warrants are outstanding, take all action reasonably necessary to reserve
and
keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock,
solely
for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, 130% of
the
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary
to
effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard
to any
limitations on exercise).
6. WARRANT
HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.
Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's
capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or
receive
dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any
purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer
upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this
Warrant,
any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote,
give or
withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue
of
stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or
otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription
rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant
Shares
which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of
this
Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed
as
imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon
exercise
of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether
such
liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with
copies
of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of
the
Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the
stockholders.
7. REISSUANCE
OF WARRANTS.
(a) Transfer
of Warrant.
If this
Warrant is to be transferred in accordance herewith and the Purchase Agreement,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company
will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant

representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being

with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the
number
of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
(b) Lost,
Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.
Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case
of
loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder
to
the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender
and

the
Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the
right to

(c) Exchangeable
for Multiple Warrants.

Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the
principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance
with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase
the
number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new
Warrant
will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares
as is
designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however,
that
no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.
(d) Issuance
of New Warrants.
Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the
terms of
this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant,
(ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the
right to

of a
new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the
Warrant
Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares
of
Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with
such
issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying
this
Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of
such
new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have

Holder shall have failed to exercise this Warrant with respect to all of
the
Warrant Shares, or shall have failed to have paid the applicable Aggregate

Warrant shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Redemption Amount”)

then it
must simultaneously take the same action in the same manner with respect
to the
other SPA Warrants.

Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise
provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section

each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior

10. AMENDMENT
AND WAIVER.
Except
as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended
and
the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any
act
herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained
the
written consent of the Required Holders; provided that no such action may
increase the exercise price of any SPA Warrant or decrease the number of
shares
or change the class of stock obtainable upon exercise of any SPA Warrant
without
the written consent of the Holder. No such amendment shall be effective
to the
extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the SPA Warrants
then
outstanding.
11. GOVERNING
LAW.
This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accor-dance
with, and
all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of
the State
of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of
law
provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions)
that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other
than the
State of New York.
12. CONSTRUCTION;
HEADINGS.
This
Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the
Buyers
and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof. The
headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not
form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.
13. DISPUTE
RESOLUTION.
In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit
the
disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within
two (2)
Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute,
as
the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable
to
agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the
Warrant Shares within three Business Days of such disputed determination
or
arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company
shall,
within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination
of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected
by
the Company and approved by the Holder or (b) the disputed arithmetic
calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company's independent, outside
accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank
or the
accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations
and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten
Business
Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.
Such
investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the
case may
be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
14. REMEDIES,
OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.
The
remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to
all
other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents,
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or
other
injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder
right
to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with
the terms
of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy
at law
for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that,
in the
event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant
shall
be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss
and
without any bond or other security being required.

Warrant may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without
the
consent of the Company, except as may otherwise be required by Section
2(f) of
the Securities Purchase Agreement, provided that any such offer, sale,

(v) "Trading
Day"
means
any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on the Principal
Market,
or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading market for the
Common
Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on
which
the Common Stock is then traded; provided that "Trading Day" shall not
include
any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange
or
market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock is suspended
from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market
(or if
such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time
of
trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00
p.m.,
New York Time).
(w) "Weighted
Average Price"
means,
for any security as of any date, the dollar volume-weighted average price for
such security on the Principal Market during the period beginning at 9:30:01
a.m., New York City time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time,
as
reported by Bloomberg through its "Volume at Price" function or, if the
foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such
security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board
for
such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York City
time,
and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg,
or, if
no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by
Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price
and the
lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security
as
reported in the "pink sheets" by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National
Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated
for
such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the Weighted
Average
Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually
determined by the Company and the Required Holders. If the Company and
the
Required Holders are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the
such
security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 12 with
the
term "Weighted Average Price" being substituted for the term "Exercise
Price."
All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend,
share split or other similar transaction during such period.

Number
of
Shares of Common Stock:_____________
Date
of
Issuance: March 16, 2007 ("Issuance
Date")
Cleveland
BioLabs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [BUYER] the registered holder
hereof or its permitted assigns (the "Holder"),
is
entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company,
at
the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this
Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common
Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the "Warrant"),
at
any time or times on or after September 16, 2007 (the "Initial
Exercise Date"),
but
not after 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below
___________________(______________) fully
paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the
"Warrant
Shares").
Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall
have
the meanings set forth in Section 15. This Warrant is one of the Warrants
(as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) to purchase Common Stock (the
"SPA
Warrants"
issued
pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated
as of
March 14, 2007 (the "Subscription
Date"),
by
and among the Company and the investors (the "Buyers")
referred to therein (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement").
1. EXERCISE
OF WARRANT.
(a) Mechanics
of Exercise.
Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the
limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by
the
Holder on any day on or after the Initial Exercise Date, in whole or in part
by
(i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B (the
"Exercise
Notice"),
of
the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant, (ii) (A) payment to the
Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by
the
number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the
"Aggregate
Exercise Price")
in
cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (B) to the extent
permitted by Section 1(d), by notifying the Company that this Warrant is
being
exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)), and
(iii) if required by Section 2(h) or unless the Holder has previously delivered
this Warrant to the Company and it or a new replacement Warrant has not yet
been
delivered to the Holder, the surrender of this Warrant to a common carrier
for
overnight delivery to the Company; provided, that if such Warrant Shares
are to
be issued in any name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant,
such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 7(a)
shall be applicable. On or before the first (1st) Business Day following
the
date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice, the
Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) and, if required,
this Warrant (collectively, the "Exercise
Delivery Documents"),
the
Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of
receipt
of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company's transfer
agent (the "Transfer
Agent").
On or
before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which the Company
has
received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the "Share
Delivery Date"),
the
Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit
such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account
with
DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the
Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address
as
specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's
share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number
of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such
exercise. Upon delivery to the Company of the Exercise Delivery Documents,
the
Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder
of
record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been
exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the
Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing
such
Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection
with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant
Shares
represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number
of
Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as
soon
as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after any
exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with
Section
7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares
purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the
number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.
No
fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this
Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall
be
rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all
taxes
which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant
Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant, other than income, franchise, profits or similar
taxes of the Holder or taxes resulting from issuance of Warrant Shares to
a
Person other than the Holder.
(b) Exercise
Price.
For
purposes of this Warrant, "Exercise
Price"
means
$11 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
(c) Company's
Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.
If the
Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder
within
three (3) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder
is
entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share
register or to credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for such number
of
shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's
exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available
to
the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after
such
third Business Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not
timely effected an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the sum of
the
number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis
and
to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the shares
of
Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date
which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder
without violating Section 1(a). In addition to the foregoing, if within three
(3) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents,
the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and
register such shares of Common Stock on the Company's share register or credit
the Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common
Stock
to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder's exercise hereunder or
if the
Company fails to deliver to the Holder the certificate or certificates
representing the applicable Warrant Shares (or credit the Holder's balance
account at DTC with the applicable Warrant Shares) within three (3) Trading
Days
after its obligation to do so under clause (ii) below and if on or after
such
Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder
of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated
receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
then
the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request
and
in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal
to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if
any)
for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In
Price"),
at
which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate or credit
such
Holder's balance account with DTC (and to issue such shares of Common Stock)
shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the
Holder
a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or
credit
such Holder's balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount
equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A)
such
number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the
date of
exercise. By complying with either of clauses (i) or (ii) in the preceding
sentence in accordance with the Holder's request, the Company shall have
been
deemed to have cured the failure to timely deliver such shares of Common
Stock.
(d) Cashless
Exercise.
Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole
discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making
the
cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise
in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon
such
exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined according
to the
following formula (a "Cashless
Exercise"):
Net
Number = (A
x
B) - (A x C)
B
For
purposes of the foregoing formula:
A
= the
total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being
exercised.
B=
the
arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common
Stock
(as reported by Bloomberg) over the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending
on
the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C=
the
Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time
of
such exercise.
(e) Disputes.
In the
case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the
arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly
issue
to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve
such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
(f) Limitations
on Exercises.
Beneficial
Ownership.
The
Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall
not
have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving
effect
to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person's affiliates) would
beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the "Maximum
Percentage")
of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of
shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being
made,
but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i)
exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially
owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of
the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without
limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants)
subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation
contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes
of
this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange
Act").
For
purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares
of
Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of
Common
Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-KSB,
Form
10-Q, Form 10-QSB, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with
the
Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent
public
announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the
Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder,
the
Company shall within one Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the
Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case,
the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving
effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including
the
SPA Securities and the SPA Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since
the
date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
(g) Insufficient
Authorized Shares.
If at
any time while this Warrant remain outstanding the Company does not have
a
sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to
satisfy
its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least
a
number of shares of Common Stock equal to 130% (the "Required
Reserve Amount")
of the
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary
to
effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (an "Authorized
Share Failure"),
then
the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the
Company's authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow
the
Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then
outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as
soon
as reasonably practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized
Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its
stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized
shares
of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide
each
stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts
to
solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares
of
Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the
stockholders that they approve such proposal.
(h) Book-Entry.
Upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder
shall
not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless
it is
being exercised for all of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant.
The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares exercised and issued and the dates of such exercises or shall use
such
other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as
not
to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise. In
the
event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing
the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled shall be
controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if this Warrant is exercised as aforesaid, the Holder may
not
transfer this Warrant unless the Holder first physically surrenders this
Warrant
to the Company in accordance with Section 7(a). The Holder and any assignee,
by
acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the
provisions of this paragraph, following exercises of any portion of this
Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant may be
less
than the number stated on the face hereof.
(i) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Warrant shall not be exercisable until after the Stockholder
Approval Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).
2. ADJUSTMENT
OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.
The
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time
to
time as follows:
(a) Adjustment
upon Issuance of shares of Common Stock.
If and
whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells,
or in
accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares
of
Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned
or
held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common
Stock
deemed to have been issued by the Company in connection with any Excluded
Securities (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) for a consideration
per share (the "New
Issuance Price")
less
than a price (the "Applicable
Price")
equal
to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or
deemed issuance or sale (the foregoing a "Dilutive
Issuance"),
then
immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect
shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price
in
effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient
determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying
the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and
the
number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to
such
Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company
upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I)
the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II)
the
number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately after such
Dilutive Issuance.
Upon
each
such adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares
shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment
by
the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by
the
Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. For purposes of determining
the
adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(a), the following shall be
applicable:
(i)
Issuance
of Options.
If the
Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for
which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such
Option
or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable
upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then
such
share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued
and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option
for
such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(i), the "lowest price
per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of
such
Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities
issuable upon exercise of any such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the
lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company
with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of
the
Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange
of
any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further
adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made
upon
the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible
Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance
of such
shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(ii)
Issuance
of Convertible Securities.
If the
Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the
lowest
price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the
conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price,
then
such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have
been
issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such
Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this
Section 2(a)(ii), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common
Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof" shall
be
equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received
or
receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon
the
issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise
or
exchange of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Exercise
Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance
of such
shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities
is made
upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been
or is
to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(a), no further
adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made
by
reason of such issue or sale.
(iii)
Change
in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.
If the
purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration,
if
any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible
Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible
into
or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases
at any time, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect
at
the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price
and the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such
time
had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or
decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased
conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued
or
sold. For purposes of this Section 2(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option
or
Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this
Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately
preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares
of
Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof
shall
be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.
No
adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made if such adjustment
would
result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease
in the
number of Warrant Shares.
(iv)
Calculation
of Consideration Received.
In case
any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities
of
the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific
consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.01. If any shares
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or
deemed
to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor
will
be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor. If any shares
of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for
a
consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received
by the
Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such
consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration
received by the Company will be the Weighted Average Price of such security
on
the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection
with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount
of
consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion
of
the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable
to
such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case
may
be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will
be
determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties
are
unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an
event
requiring valuation (the "Valuation
Event"),
the
fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business
Days after the tenth (10th)
day
following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly
selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such
appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error
and
the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the
Company.
(v)
Record
Date.
If the
Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose
of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable
in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible
Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue
or
sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon
the
declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or
the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case
may
be.
(vi)
Floor
Price.
Until
such time as the Company receives the Stockholder Approval, no adjustment
pursuant to Section 2(a) shall cause the Exercise Price to be less than $10.36,
as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination,
reclassification or similar transaction.
(b) Adjustment
upon Subdivision or Combination of shares of Common Stock.
If the
Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any
stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes
of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately
reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.
If
the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by
combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately
increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.
Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close
of
business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(c) Other
Events.
If any
event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2
but
not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation,
the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other
rights
with equity features), then the Company's Board of Directors will make an
appropriate adjustment consistent with the provisions of this Section 2 in
the
Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares so as to protect the rights
of
the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c)
will
increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as
otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
3. RIGHTS
UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.
If the
Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets
(or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by
way
of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any
distribution of stock or other securities, property or options by way of
a
dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of
arrangement or other similar transaction) (a "Distribution")
at any
time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, any Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record
date
fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled
to
receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business
on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price
by
a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Weighted Average Price
of the
shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record
date
minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the
Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of shares of Common
Stock,
and (ii) the denominator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the shares
of
Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date;
provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of
Common Stock (or common stock) ("Other
Shares of Common Stock")
of a
company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange
or a
national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive
a
warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in
the
number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those
of this
Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of
shares
of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder
pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the
product of the amount by which the Exercise Price of this Warrant was decreased
with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of this Section
3.
4. PURCHASE
RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
(a) Purchase
Rights.
If at
any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata
to
the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the "Purchase
Rights"),
then
the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such
Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have
acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations
on the
exercise of this Warrant) immediately before the date on which a record is
taken
for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record
is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock
are
to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein in any such
case
the provisions of Section 2 shall not be applicable to such grant, issuance
or
sale by the Company.
(b) Fundamental
Transactions.
The
Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction in
which
the Company is not a surviving entity holding all or substantially all of
the
assets that the Company held prior to such Fundamental Transaction, unless
the
Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company
under
this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the
provisions of this Section (4)(b) pursuant to written agreements in form
and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, including agreements
to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security
of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an
adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock
reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for
a
corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares
of
Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such
Fundamental Transaction, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.
Prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which
holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other
assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a
"Corporate
Event"),
the
Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant
at
any
time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but
prior
to the Expiration Date,
in lieu
of the shares of the Common Stock (or
other
securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable
upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental
Transaction,
such
shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever
(including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder
would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental
Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction. Provision
made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section
shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions
and
Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on
the
exercise of this Warrant.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction other than one in
which
a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose stock is quoted
or listed for trading on an Eligible Market assumes this Warrant such that
the
Warrant shall be exercisable for the publicly traded Common Stock of such
Successor Entity, at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth
(90th)
day
after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity)
shall
purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five
(5)
Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of
the
Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value
of
the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such
Fundamental Transaction calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing
Model.
5. NONCIRCUMVENTION.
The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment
of
its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer
of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue
or
sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid
the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at
all
times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take
all
action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par
value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant
above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions
as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the
SPA
Warrants are outstanding, take all action reasonably necessary to reserve
and
keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock,
solely
for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, 130% of the
number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary
to
effect the exercise of the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard
to any
limitations on exercise).
6. WARRANT
HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.
Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person's
capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive
dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any
purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer
upon the Holder, solely in such Person's capacity as the Holder of this Warrant,
any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give
or
withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue
of
stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or
otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription
rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant
Shares
which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this
Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed
as
imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise
of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether
such
liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with
copies
of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the
Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the
stockholders.
7. REISSUANCE
OF WARRANTS.
(a) Transfer
of Warrant.
If this
Warrant is to be transferred in accordance herewith and the Purchase Agreement,
the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company
will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant
(in
accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request,
representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being
transferred by the Holder and, if less then the total number of Warrant Shares
then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance
with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number
of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
(b) Lost,
Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.
Upon
receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case
of
loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder
to
the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender
and
cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the
Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right
to
purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.
(c) Exchangeable
for Multiple Warrants.
This
Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the
principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance
with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the
number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new
Warrant
will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares
as is
designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however,
that
no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.
(d) Issuance
of New Warrants.
Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms
of
this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant,
(ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right
to
purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case
of a
new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant
Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares
of
Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with
such
issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this
Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of
such
new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the
same
rights and conditions as this Warrant.
8. REGISTRATION
RIGHTS.
8.1. Demand
Registration.
(a) Right
to Demand Registration.
(i)
Subject to Sections 8.1(a)(iv) and 8.1(c), at any time or from time to time
after the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Issuance Date (the
"Demand
Date"),
the
Required Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company
register all or part of such Required Holders' Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) (a "Request")
by
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
a
Demand Registration Statement (a "Demand
Registration").
(1) Each
Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities (as defined in
the
Registration Rights Agreement) intended to be disposed of by such Holders
and
the intended method of disposition thereof.
(2) As
promptly as practicable, but no later than ten (10) days after receipt of
a
Request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration
to
all other holders of Registrable Securities.
(3) Subject
to Section 8.1(b), the Company shall include in a Demand Registration (i)
the
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Initiating Holders
and
(ii) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by any other Holder
which shall have made a written request (which request shall specify the
amount
of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of
disposition thereof) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration
within ten (10) days after the receipt of such written notice from the
Company.
(4) The
Company, as expeditiously as possible following a Request, shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Demand Registration
Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the "1933
Act")
of the
Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register
by
all such Holders, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such
Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition thereof specified in such Request or further
requests.
(4) The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Demand Registration
Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter
and to
keep such Demand Registration Statement continuously effective until such
time
as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance
with
the intended methods of disposition by the seller(s) thereof set forth in
such
Demand Registration Statement; provided,
such
period need not extend beyond nine (9) months after the effective date of
the
Demand Registration Statement; and provided, further,
that
with respect to any Demand Registration Statement, such period, in any event,
shall terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand
Registration Statement have been sold (but not before the expiration of the
90
day period referred to in Section 4(3) of the 1933 Act and Rule 174 thereunder,
if applicable) (the "Demand
Registration Period").
(ii) A
Request
may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the Demand Registration Statement
by
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such
registration (the "Required
Holders of the Registration")
(a
"Withdrawn
Request")
and a
Demand Registration Statement may be withdrawn prior to the effectiveness
thereof by the Required Holders of the Registration (a "Withdrawn
Demand Registration")
and
such withdrawals shall be treated as a Demand Registration which shall have
been
effected pursuant to this Section 8.1, unless the Required Holders of
Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement reimburse
the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket Registration Expenses relating
to
the preparation and filing of such Demand Registration Statement (to the
extent
actually incurred); provided;
however,
that if
a Withdrawn Request or Withdrawn Demand Registration is made because of a
material adverse change in the business or financial condition of the Company,
then such withdrawal shall not be treated as a Demand Registration effected
pursuant to this Section 8.1 (and shall not be counted toward the number
of
Demand Registrations to which such Holders are entitled), and the Company
shall
pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. Any Holder requesting
inclusion in a Demand Registration may, at any time prior to the effective
date
of the Demand Registration Statement (and for any reason), revoke such request
by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested
inclusion.
(iii) The
registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.1
shall
be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other
provisions of Section 8 hereof.
(iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the registration rights pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 8.1 shall be available on any given day only to
the
extent (i) all of the Warrant Shares are not previously registered for resale
on
a registration statement on Form S-3 or such registration statement is not
available for the resale of all such Warrant Shares and (ii) the average
daily
trading volume as reported by Bloomberg of the Company's Common Stock on
the
Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) during
the 30 calendar day period preceding such given date is less
than 100,000 shares; provided, that the registration rights pursuant to
this Section 8.1 shall terminate in their entirety, and be of no further
force
or effect on the Demand Date if during the ninety (90) day period immediately
preceding the Demand Date, the average daily trading volume as reported by
Bloomberg of the Common Stock on the Principal Market (or such other market
or
service on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted) is at least 100,000
shares.
(b) Priority
in Demand Registrations.
If a
Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, and the sole or lead
managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall
advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Holder requesting
registration) on or before the date five (5) days prior to the date then
scheduled for such offering that, in its opinion, the amount of Registrable
Securities, if any, requested to be included in such Demand Registration
exceeds
the number which can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable
to
the Required Holders of the Registration (such writing to state the basis
of
such opinion and the approximate number of Registrable Securities which may
be
included in such offering), the Company shall include in such Demand
Registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised
may be
included in such offering without such effect, the Registrable Securities
requested to be included in the Demand Registration by the Holders allocated
pro rata
(on an
as converted, fully-diluted basis and without giving effect to any exercise
limitations contained in this Warrant) In the event the Company shall not,
by
virtue of this Section 8.1(b), include in any Demand Registration all of
the
Registrable Securities of any Holder requesting to be included in such Demand
Registration, such Holder, upon written notice to the Company given within
five
(5) days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, may reduce
the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have included in such
Demand
Registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires
to
have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing shall be
entitled to a corresponding increase in the amount of Registrable Securities
to
be included in such Demand Registration.
(c) Limitations
on Registrations.
The
rights of Holders of Registrable Securities to request Demand Registrations
pursuant to Section 8.1(a) are subject to the following limitations:
(i) in
no
event shall the Company be required to effect a Demand Registration unless
the
reasonably anticipated aggregate offering price to the public of all Registrable
Securities for which registration has been requested by Holders, together
with
any shares sold by the Company for its own account, will be at least $5,000,000
(or a lesser amount if all remaining Registrable Securities are requested
to be
registered);
(ii) in
no
event shall the Company be required to effect a Demand Registration prior
to 91
calendar days after a prior Demand Registration Statement is declared effective
by the SEC; and
(iii) in
no
event shall the Company be required to effect a Demand Registration at any
time
during the period commencing with the filing of the Initial Registration
Statement or the Additional Registration Statement (as such terms are defined
in
the Registration Rights Agreement) with the SEC and ending with the earlier
of
(x) the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement or the Additional
Registration Statement, as applicable, and (y) the applicable Effectiveness
Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).
(iv) in
no
event shall the Company be required to effect, in the aggregate, more than
two
(2) Demand Registrations; provided,
however,
that
such number shall be increased to the extent the Company does not include
in
what would otherwise be the final registration the number of Registrable
Securities requested to be registered by the Holders by reason of Section
8.1(b);
provided,
further,
that
the Registration Expenses with respect of one Demand Registration Statement
will
be borne by the Company and the Registration Expenses of one Demand Registration
Statement will be borne by the Initiating Holders and by such other Holder
which
shall have made a written request to include his Registrable Securities..
(d) Underwriting.
(i) Selection
of Underwriters.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.1(a), if
the
Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities for which
registration was requested in the Request so elect, the offering of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the
form
of a firm commitment Underwritten Offering; and such Initiating Holders may
require that all Persons (including other Holders) participating in such
registration sell their Registrable Securities to the Underwriters at the
same
price and on the same terms of underwriting applicable to the Initiating
Holders. If any Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the
sole
or managing Underwriters and any additional investment bankers and managers
to
be used in connection with such registration shall be selected by the Initiating
Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities (so long as such
Underwriter is not affiliated with any such majority holders) for which
registration was requested in the Request, subject to the approval of the
Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii) Underwriting
Agreements.
If
requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter for any Underwritten Offering
effected pursuant to a Demand Registration the Company shall enter into a
customary underwriting agreement with the Underwriters for such offering,
such
agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Required
Holders of the Registration.
(iii) Holders
of Registrable Securities to be Parties to Underwriting
Agreement.
The
Holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by Underwriters in an
Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 8.1(a) shall be parties to
the
underwriting agreement between the Company and such Underwriters and may,
at
such Holders' option, require that any or all of the conditions precedent
to the
obligations of such Underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions
precedent to the obligations of such Holders of Registrable Securities. No
Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or
agreements with, the Company or the Underwriters other than representations,
warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder's Registrable
Securities and such Holder's intended method of disposition.
(iv) Participation
in Underwritten Registration.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Person may participate
in
any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell
its
securities on the same terms and conditions provided in any underwritten
arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangement and (ii) accurately completes and executes in a timely manner
all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, custody agreements,
underwriting agreements and other documents customary for such an offering
and
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements.
(v) In
no
event shall the Company be required to effect more than two (2) Underwritten
Offerings.
(e) Registration
of Other Securities.
Whenever the Company shall effect a Demand Registration, no securities other
than the Registrable Securities shall be covered by such registration unless
(a)
the Required Holders of the Registration shall have consented in writing
to the
inclusion of such other securities and (b) no holder of Registrable Securities
is unable to include any of its Registrable Securities requested for inclusion
in such registration by reason of Section
8.1(b).
(f) Effective
Registration Statement; Suspension.
A
Demand Registration Statement shall not be deemed to have become effective
(and
the related registration will not be deemed to have been effected) (i) unless
it
has been declared effective by the SEC and remains effective in compliance
with
the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement for
the
Demand Registration Period, (ii) if the offering of any Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Demand Registration Statement is interfered with by any
stop
order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other
governmental agency or court, or (iii) if, in the case of an Underwritten
Offering, the conditions to closing specified in an underwriting agreement
to
which the Company is a party are not satisfied other than by the sole reason
of
any breach or failure by the Holders of Registrable Securities or are not
otherwise waived.
(g) Other
Registrations.
During
the period (i) beginning on the date of a Request and (ii) ending on the
date
that is ninety (90) days after the date that a Demand Registration Statement
filed pursuant to such Request has been declared effective by the SEC or,
if the
Required Holders of the Registration shall withdraw such Request or such
Demand
Registration Statement, on the date of such Withdrawn Request or such Withdrawn
Registration Statement, the Company shall not, without the consent of the
Required Holders of the Registration, file a registration statement pertaining
to any other securities of the Company (other than a registration relating
solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company employee stock
or
similar plan on Form S-8).
(h) Registration
Statement Form.
Registrations under this Section 8.1 shall be on such appropriate registration
form of the SEC (i) as shall be selected by the Initiating Holders holding
a
majority of the Registrable Securities for which registration was requested
in
the Request, and (ii) which shall be available for the sale of Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition
specified in the requests for registration. The Company agrees to include
in any
such Registration Statement all information which any selling Investor Holder,
upon advice of counsel, shall reasonably request.
8.2. Piggyback
Registration.
(a) Piggyback
Rights.
If
any
time prior to the date that is five (5) years from the Issuance Date, the
Company proposes to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect
to
an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable
or exchangeable for, on convertible into, equity securities, for its own
account
or for the account of any stockholder of the Company (other than a registration
statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their successors or any other form for
a
limited similar purpose or any registration statement covering only securities
proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another Person),
the Company shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to such filing, give written
notice to all Holders of its intention to do so and, upon the written request
of
any Holder or Holders given within twenty (20) days of the receipt of such
notice (which request shall state the intended method of disposition of such
Registrable Securities), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to
cause the Registrable Securities that such Holder or Holders request the
Company
to register to be included in such registration and shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of
a
proposed Underwritten Offering to permit such Registrable Securities to be
included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar
securities of the Company, in each case to the extent necessary to permit
their
sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of
distribution specified in the request of the Holder or Holders; provided
that the
Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected
pursuant to this Section 8.2 without obligation to the Holders (any such
registration statement which includes Registrable Securities, a "Piggy-Back
Registration Statement").
(b) Underwritten
Offerings.
In
connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 8.2 (but not
including Underwritten Offerings under Section 8.1), the notice to the Holders
shall state whether such offering is an Underwritten Offering and the Company
shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such Underwriting
Offering unless the Holders requesting inclusion of such Registrable Securities
accept the terms of the underwriting as reasonably agreed upon between the
Company and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, selected by the Company.
Each Holder that has requested that Registrable Securities held by it be
included in such Registration Statement shall (together with the Company
and the
other Holders distributing the securities through such underwriting) enter
into
such underwriting agreement as reasonably agreed upon between the Company
and
the managing Underwriter or Underwriters. In connection with any Underwritten
Offering under this Section 8.2 (but not including Underwritten Offerings
under
Section 8.1), if in the reasonable and good faith opinion of the managing
Underwriter or Underwriters, the registration of all, or part of, the
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration and
any
other securities to be included in such registration jeopardize the success
of
the offering by the Company or the holders of securities initiating such
registration (the “Demanding
Holders”),
then:
(i) in the case of an Underwritten Offering by the Company, (A) the Company
shall not be cutback and (B) the Registrable Securities requested for inclusion
and any other securities requested for inclusion pursuant to similar piggyback
rights shall be reduced first pro rata
(on an
as-converted, fully-diluted basis and without giving effect to any exercise
limitations contained in this Warrant) in accordance with the number of
securities that each such Person has requested be included in the registration,
regardless of the number of securities held by each such Person, and (ii)
in the
case of an Underwritten Offering by a Demanding Holder, (A) the Demanding
Holder
(and other parties that are subject to the same registration rights agreement
with such Demanding Holder) shall not be cutback and (B) the Registrable
Securities requested for inclusion and any other securities requested for
inclusion pursuant to similar piggyback rights shall be reduced first
pro rata
(on an
as-converted, fully-diluted basis and without giving effect to any exercise
limitations contained in this warrant) in accordance with the number of
securities that each such Person has requested be included in the registration,
regardless of the number of securities held by each such Person. If any Holder
disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company and the managing
Underwriter.
9. NOTICES.
Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise
provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f)
of
the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with
prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including

This
Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accor-dance with,
and
all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and

of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions)

the
State of New York.

HEADINGS.
This

as
the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable
to
agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the
Warrant Shares within three Business Days of such disputed determination or
arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall,
within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile (a) the disputed determination

right
to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the
terms
of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at
law
for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that,
in the
event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant
shall
be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and
without any bond or other security being required.

such
Buyer is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in
the
Securities.

on Exemptions.
Such

reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United
States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying
in part
upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of
such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the

to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by such

Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to
ask

investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its
representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to rely
on the
Company's representations and warranties contained herein. Such Buyer

of
risk. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect
to its

an
opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such
Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred are being sold, assigned or

pursuant to Rule 144(k); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance
on
Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further,

in which the seller (or the Person (as defined in Section 3(s)) through whom
the

in the
1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933
Act or
the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company
nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under
the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and
conditions of any exemption thereunder. 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 and such pledge of
Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the
Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge of Securities shall

any
delivery to the Company pursuant to this Section 2(g).
(h) Legends.

3. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
The
Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that:
(a) Organization
and Qualification.
Each of
the Company and its "Subsidiaries"
(which
for purposes of this Agreement means any joint venture or any entity in which
the Company, directly or indirectly, owns capital stock or holds an equity
or
similar interest, other than a publicly traded entity of which the Company
directly or indirectly owns less than 5% of the outstanding equity) are entities
duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the
jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and
authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now
being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified
as a
foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction
in
which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by
it
makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure
to be
so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have
a
Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, "Material
Adverse Effect"
means
any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations,
results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of
the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or on the transactions
contemplated hereby or in the other Transaction Documents, or on the authority
or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction
Documents (as defined below). The Company has no Subsidiaries.
(b) Authorization;
Enforcement; Validity.
The
Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the Warrants,
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
(as defined in Section 5(b)), and each of the other agreements entered into
by
the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction
Documents")
and to
issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
including, without limitation, the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the
reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable
upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares, the issuance of the Warrants and the
reservation for issuance and issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, have been duly authorized by the Company's board
of
directors and (other than the Stockholder Approval and related filing (as
set
forth in Section 4(m)), the 8-K Filing (as set forth in Section 4(i)), the
filing with the SEC of one or more registration statements in accordance
with
the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Retainer Warrants
and any other filings as may be required by any state or foreign securities
agencies, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or the Principal
Market (as defined in Section 3(d)) or the Boston Stock Exchange, no further
filing, consent, or authorization is required by the Company, except as set
forth on Schedule
3(b),
its
board of directors or its stockholders with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents of
even
date herewith have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as
such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity, applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar
laws
relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors'
rights and remedies or as indemnification or contribution may be limited
by the
securities laws and public policy relating thereto and subject to Schedule
3(b).
The
Certificate of Designations in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A
has been
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and is in full
force
and effect, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms
and has
not been amended.
(c) Issuance
of Securities.
The
issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants are duly authorized and
upon
issuance in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents shall
be free
from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and
the
Preferred Shares shall be entitled to the rights and preferences set forth
in
the Certificate of Designations. As of the Closing, a number of shares of
Common
Stock shall have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance which equals
at
least 130% of the sum of (i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
then
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof,
that the Preferred Shares are convertible at the Conversion Price and without
taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares
set forth in the Certificate of Designations) and (ii) the maximum number
of
shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without
taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth
in
the Warrants). Upon issuance or conversion in accordance with the Certificate
of
Designations or exercise in accordance with the Warrants, as the case may
be,
the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, respectively, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar
rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with
the
holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.
Subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Buyers
in
this Agreement, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities to
each
of the Buyers is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.
(d) No
Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company
and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby
and
thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Preferred Shares,
the Warrants, and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of
Incorporation (as defined in Section 3(r)) of the Company or any certificate
of
incorporation, certificate of formation, any certificate of designations
or
other constituent document of any of its Subsidiaries, any capital stock
of the
Company or Bylaws (as defined in Section 3(r)) or the Certificate of
Designations or Existing Certificates of Designations (as defined in Section
3(r)) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries bylaws or (ii) conflict with,
or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or
(iii)
subject to Schedule
3(d),
result
in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
(including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules
and
regulations of The NASDAQ
Capital
Market (the "Principal
Market"))
applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property
or
asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except
in
the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights
or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect..
(e) Consents.
The
Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of,
or
make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any
regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it
to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated
by the
Transaction Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or
thereof, except for any such consent, authorization, order, filing or
registration contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents.
Except as set forth on Schedule
3(e),
all
consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company
is
required to obtain on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall have been obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing
Date,
and the Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances
which might prevent the Company from obtaining or effecting any of the
registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(f) Acknowledgment
Regarding Buyer's Purchase of Securities.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity
of arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that, except as set forth
on
Schedule
3(f),
no
Buyer is (i) an officer or director of the Company, (ii) to the knowledge
of the
Company, an "affiliate" of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined
in
Rule 144) or (iii) to the knowledge of the Company, a "beneficial owner"
of more
than 10% of the shares of Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3
of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act")).
The
Company further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor
or
fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity)
with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its
representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and
the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such
Buyer's purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each
Buyer
that the Company's decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been
based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its
representatives.
(g) No
General Solicitation; Restricting Third Parties; Placement Agent's
Fees.
Neither
the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor, to the Company's
knowledge, any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form
of
general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation
D)
in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. To the extent the
Company has entered into any agreement with any third party (a "Restricting
Third Party")
that
would otherwise restrict or prevent the Company from consummating the
transactions contemplated hereby without breaching the provisions thereof,
the
Company has received a written release of such Restricting Third Party on
or
prior to the date hereof. The Buyers shall not be responsible for the payment
of
any placement agent's fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers' commissions
(other than for persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating
to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or any fees or
other
amounts payable to any Restricting Third Party. The Company shall pay, and
hold
each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without
limitation, attorney's fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection
with any such claim. The Company acknowledges that it has engaged the Agents
as
placement agents in connection with the sale of the Securities. Other than
as
set forth on Schedule
3(g),
neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged any placement agent or
other
agent other than the Agents in connection with the sale of the Securities.
(h) No
Integrated Offering.
None of
the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, and any Person acting
on
their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances
that
would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or
cause
this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by
the
Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval
provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations
of
any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities
of the
Company are listed or designated. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries,
their
affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or
steps
referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of
any of
the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities
to be
integrated with other offerings.
(i) Dilutive
Effect.
The
Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and, the Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, will increase in certain circumstances.
The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion
Shares
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, all in accordance with this Agreement
and the Certificate of Designations and subject to the limitations set forth
therein, and its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of
the
Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants is, in each case,
absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance
may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company
and
subject to the limitations set forth therein.
(j) Application
of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement.
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 Certificate of Incorporation
or any certificates of designations or the laws of the jurisdiction of its
formation or incorporation which to the extent any such provision would limit,
prevent or otherwise restrict any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the
Securities in accordance with the terms thereof and any Buyer's ownership
of the
Securities. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar
arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock
or
a change in control of the Company.

of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder
applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time
they
were filed with the SEC (or, if amended thereafter, as so amended), contained
any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material

and

necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstance under which they are or were made not misleading.

Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or

a detailed description of the material terms of any such outstanding
Indebtedness. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) "Indebtedness"
of any
Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money,
(B)
all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price
of
property or services (including, without limitation, "capital leases" in

or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and
other
similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures
or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in
connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all
indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title
retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect
to
any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even

in the
event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F)
all
monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in
connection with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied
for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all
indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or
for
which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or
otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security
interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including
accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person
which
owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment
of
such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness
or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through
(G)
above; (y) "Contingent
Obligation"
means,
as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise,
of
that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other
obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person
incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance
to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged,
or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the
holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against
loss
with respect thereto; and (z) "Person"
means
an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture,
a
corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or
any
department or agency thereof.
(t) Absence
of Litigation.
There
is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the
Principal Market, any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory
organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock
or
any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or its Subsidiaries'
officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise,
except which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(u) Insurance.
The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries 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 its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company
nor
any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied
for and neither the Company nor any such 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.
(v) Employee
Relations.
i)
Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining
agreement or employs any member of a union. No executive officer of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the 1933 Act) has
notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to
leave
the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer's
employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer
of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation
of
any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure
or
proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment
of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters.
(ii) The
Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local
and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment
practices and benefits, 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.
(w) Title.
The
Company and its Subsidiaries do not own any real property. The Company and
its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all personal property owned
by
them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances
and
defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property
and
do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property
by
the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities
held
under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are material to
the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are held
by them
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are
not
material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and do not
materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property
and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(x) Intellectual
Property Rights.
The
Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to
use
all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service
names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals,
governmental authorizations, original works of authorship, trade secrets
and
other intellectual property rights and all applications related thereto
("Intellectual
Property Rights")
necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted. None of
the
Company's or its Subsidiaries' Intellectual Property Rights have expired,
terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be
abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement. The Company
does
not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no claim,
action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company,
being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding
its
Intellectual Property Rights. The Company is unaware of any facts or
circumstances which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any of the
foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and
its
Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy,
confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property
Rights.
(y) Environmental
Laws.
The
Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any and all
Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), (ii) have received all permits,
licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental
Laws
to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all
terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each
of
the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply would
be
reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect. The term "Environmental
Laws"
means
all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection
of
human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air,
surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including,
without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or
threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or
hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, "Hazardous
Materials") into
the
environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution,
use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials,
as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters,
injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits,
plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved
thereunder.
(z) [Intentionally
Omitted]

Status.
The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has made or filed all material foreign,
federal and state income and all other material tax returns, reports and
declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has
paid
all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material
in
amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations,
except those being contested in good faith and (iii) to the extent required
by
GAAP, has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment
of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns,
reports or declarations apply. 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.
(bb) Internal
Accounting and Disclosure Controls.
The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions
are
executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorizations,
(ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and
to
maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or
incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management's
general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for
assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities
at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
difference. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as
such
term is defined in Rule 13a-14 under the 1934 Act) that are effective to
providing reasonably assurance that information required to be disclosed
by the
Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in
the
rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required
to
be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under
the
1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including
its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer
or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. During the twelve months prior to the date hereof the Company
has
not received any notice or correspondence from its independent public
accountants to the effect that there is a "material weakness" in the internal
accounting controls of the Company.
(cc) Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements.
There
is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company
and an
unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be
disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed
or that
otherwise would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(dd) Investment
Company Status.
The
Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will
not be,
an "investment company," a company controlled by an "investment company"
or an
"affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an
"investment company" as such terms are defined in the Investment Company
Act of
1940, as amended.
(ee) Transfer
Taxes.
On the
Closing Date, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar
taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the sale and transfer
to
each of the Buyers of the Preferred Shares and Warrants to be sold to such
Buyer
hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by the Company,
and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied
with.
(ff) Acknowledgement
Regarding Buyers' Trading Activity.
It is
understood and acknowledged by the Company (i) that none of the Buyers have
been
asked by the Company or its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Buyer agreed
with
the Company or its Subsidiaries, to desist from purchasing or selling, long
and/or short, securities of the Company, or "derivative" securities based
on
securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified
term after the filing of the 8-K Filing; (ii) that any Buyer, and counterparties
in "derivative" transactions to which any such Buyer is a party, directly
or
indirectly, presently may have a "short" position in the Common Stock, and
(iii)
that each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control
over
any arm's length counterparty in any "derivative" transaction as a result
of
engaging in such transaction with such counterparty. The Company further
understands and acknowledges that one or more Buyers may engage in hedging
and/or trading activities at various times after the filing of the 8-K Filing
and during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without
limitation, during the periods that the value of the Conversion Shares and
the
Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined
and
(b) such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value
of the
existing stockholders' equity interest in the Company both at and after the
time
the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Company
acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do
not
constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the
Warrants or any of the documents executed in connection herewith.
(gg) Manipulation
of Price.
The
Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i)
taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result
in the
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company
to
facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities or (ii) other than
the
Agents, sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting
purchases of, any of the Securities.
(hh) U.S.
Real Property Holding Corporation.
The
Company is not, has never been, and so long as any Preferred Shares or Warrants
remain outstanding, shall not become, a U.S. real property holding corporation
within the meaning of Section 897 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the Company shall so certify upon Buyer's request.
(ii) Disclosure.
The
Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf
has
provided any of the Buyers or their agents or counsel with any information
that
constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute material, nonpublic
information, except information relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby
and such information as will be disclosed in the 8-K Filing. The Company
understands and confirms that each of the Buyers will rely on the foregoing
representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All
disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries,
their business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedules
to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company is does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or, considered in the aggregate,
omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Each press release issued by the Company or its Subsidiaries during the twelve
(12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with
respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or either of their respective
businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which,
under applicable law, rule or regulation, required public disclosure in a
filing
by the Company under the 1934 Act prior to the date of this Agreement, but
which
has not been so publicly disclosed.
4. COVENANTS.

Best Efforts.
Each
party shall use its reasonable best efforts timely to satisfy each of the
covenants and conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 4,
6 and
7 of this Agreement.
(b) Form
D
and Blue Sky.
The
Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required
under
Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Buyer promptly after such
filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action,
at
the Company's sole expense, as the Company shall reasonably determine is
necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities
for
sale to the Buyers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable
securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain
an exemption from such qualification) and the applicable securities laws
of
Canada, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyers

the
United States and the applicable securities laws of Canada following the

to the 1934 Act (other than Current Reports on Form 8-K that are required
solely
pursuant to Items 1.01, 1.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06 or 5.02(e) of Form 8-K),

by the
Buyers on Form S-3.

exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock
is
then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such
listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the
terms
of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall maintain the Common Stocks'
authorization for quotation on the Principal Market or another Eligible Market
(as defined in the Certificate of Designations). Neither the Company nor
any of
its Subsidiaries shall take any action that would be reasonably expected
to
result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal

expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section
4(f).
(g) Fees.
(i) The
Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent's fees

for
Persons engaged by any Buyer) relating to or arising out of the transactions
contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, counsel to Sunrise, not to exceed
$95,000, and any fees or commissions payable to the Agents. The Company shall
pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and out-of-pocket
expenses) arising in connection with any claim
relating
to any such payment.
(ii) So
long
as any Warrants remain outstanding, Sunrise is hereby appointed by the Company
as exclusive management agent regarding all exercises of the Warrants (which
for
purposes of this Section 4(g) shall not include the Retainer Warrants) and/or
any of the Company's exchanges, swaps, purchases and/or any other related
agreements with respect to such Warrants (individually a "Warrant
Transaction",
and
collectively, "Warrant
Transactions").
In
connection with the consummation of each Warrant Transaction (the date of
consummation, the "Warrant
Transaction Closing Date"),
the
Company shall pay to Sunrise warrant management fees ("Warrant
Management Fees")
as
follows: (1) with respect to each Warrant Transaction in the form of a cash

a
cash fee equal to three and one half percent (3.5%) of the Aggregate Exercise
Price (as defined in the applicable Warrant) received by the Company in such
Warrant Transaction and (2) with respect to each Warrant Transaction in which
the Company purchases one or more Warrants from the holders of such Warrants
for
cash (such payment, the "Company
Warrant Redemption Payment"),
the
Company shall pay Sunrise a cash fee equal to three and one half percent
(3.5%)
of the Company Warrant Redemption Payment in each such Warrant Transaction
and
(3) with respect to the exercise by Warrant holders of one or more Warrants
pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in the Warrants) or if the Company
exchanges or swaps (or any other related agreements) (each, an "Exchange")
one or
more of the Warrants into other securities of the Company (e.g. including,
but
not limited to shares of Common Stock of the Company) (collectively, the
"Exchange
Securities"),
the
Company shall pay Sunrise a fee payable (x) if pursuant to a Cashless Exercise,
in Common Stock or (y) if pursuant to an Exchange, in Exchange Securities,
equal
to three and one half percent (3.5%) of the total number of shares of Common
Stock or Exchange Securities, as applicable, issuable pursuant to the Warrants
surrendered or cancelled or exchanged in such Warrant Transaction (without
regard to any limitations on exercise set forth therein) and such Common
Stock
and Exchange Securities (and any Common Stock issuable upon exercise or
conversion of such Exchange Securities, if any) to be issued to Sunrise shall
be
deemed to be "Restricted Securities" for purposes of Section 8 of the Retainer
Warrants. On the third Business Day after the end of the calendar month in
which
such Warrant Transaction occurs, the Company shall deliver to Sunrise (x)
the
applicable Warrant Management Fees for such calendar month and (y) a certificate
executed by an executive officer of the Company certifying the following
as true
and accurate as of such date: (I) the calculation of such Warrant Management
Fee
and (II) a description in reasonable detail of each such Warrant
Transaction that occurred in such calendar month.
(h) Pledge
of Securities.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by an
Investor (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in connection
with a
bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is
secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to
be a
transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Investor
effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company
with
any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant
to
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company hereby agrees
to
execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such
pledgee
by an Investor.
(i) Disclosure
of Transactions and Other Material Information.
On or
before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following
the
date of this Agreement, the Company shall issue a press release and file
a
Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching
the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this
Agreement (and all schedules to this Agreement), the form of Certificate
of
Designations, the form of Warrant, and the form of the Registration Rights
Agreement) as exhibits to such filing (including all attachments, the
"8-K
Filing").
From
and after the filing of the 8-K Filing with the SEC, no Buyer shall be in
possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company,
any
of its Subsidiaries or any of its respective officers, directors, employees
or
agents. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and
its
and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not
to,
provide any Buyer with any material, nonpublic information regarding the
Company
or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the 8-K Filing with
the
SEC without the express written consent of such Buyer or as may be required
under the terms of the Transaction Documents. If a Buyer has received any
such
material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, it may provide the Company with written notice thereof. The
Company shall, within five (5) Trading Days (as defined in the Certificate
of
Designations) of receipt of such notice, make public disclosure of such
material, nonpublic information. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company,
its Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other
public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby;
provided,
however,
that
the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to
make
any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions
(i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously
therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided
that in the case of clause (i) each Buyer shall be consulted by the Company
in
connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to
its
release). Without the prior written consent of any applicable Buyer, neither
the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates shall disclose the name
of
such Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise, unless such
disclosure is required by law, regulation or the Principal Market.
(j) Additional
Registration Statements.
Without
the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities, until the earlier to occur of (i) such date whereafter all
Registrable Securities shall be registered in a registration statement under
the
1933 Act that has been declared effective by the SEC and (ii) date that is
180
calendar days after the Initial Effective Date (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement), the Company shall not file a registration statement under
the
1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Securities; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from amending
the
2006 Registration Statement (or supplementing the prospectus contained therein),
provided that neither the amendment nor the prospectus supplement increases
the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to such 2006
Registration Statement.
(k) Additional
Preferred Shares; Variable Securities; Dilutive Issuances.
(i) So
long
as any Buyer beneficially owns any Securities, the Company will not, without
the
prior written consent of Buyers holding a majority of the Preferred Shares,
issue any shares of Series B Preferred Stock (other than to the Buyers as
contemplated hereby) and the Company shall not issue any other securities
that
would cause a breach or default under the Certificate of Designations or
the
Warrants. For so long as any Preferred Shares or Warrants remain outstanding,
the Company shall not, in any manner, issue or sell any rights, warrants
or
options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or directly or indirectly
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock at a
conversion, exchange or exercise price which varies or may vary after issuance
with the market price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more
reset(s) to any fixed price unless the conversion, exchange or exercise price
of
any such security cannot be less than the then applicable Conversion Price
(as
defined in the Certificate of Designations) with respect to the Common Stock
into which any Preferred Shares are convertible or the then applicable Exercise
Price (as defined in the Warrants) with respect to the Common Stock into
which
any Warrant is exercisable. For so long as any Preferred Shares or Warrants
remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or affect
any Dilutive Issuance (as such term is defined in the Certificate Designation
and the Warrants) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the
Company to be required to issue upon conversion of any Preferred Shares or
exercise of any Warrant any shares of Common Stock in excess of that number
of
shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants without breaching the Company's
obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (without
giving effect to (x) the Exchange Cap provisions set forth in the Certificate
of
Designations and the Warrants or (y) the floor price provisions specified
in
Section 2(a)(vi) of the Warrants).
(ii) Until
the
Stockholder Approval Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly,
issue
or sell any of its Common Stock or Options (as defined in the Warrants) or
Convertible Securities (as defined in the Warrants) (other than Common Stock
issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Options or Convertible
Securities which are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Closing
Date, provided that such issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of such Options
or Convertible Securities is made pursuant to the terms of such Options or
Convertible Securities in effect on the date immediately preceding the Closing
Date and such Options or Convertible Securities are not amended, modified
or
changed on or after the Closing Date), including without limitation any debt,
preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during
its
life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of Common Stock, if the effect of such issuance or
sale
would result in the shares of Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreements
(as
defined below) to fail to sufficient in and of themselves to obtain the
Stockholder Approval (as defined below).
(l) Corporate
Existence.
So long
as any Buyer beneficially owns any Securities, the Company shall maintain
its
corporate existence and not sell all or substantially all of the Company's
assets and not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the
Certificate of Designations) unless the Company is in compliance with the
applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the
Certificate of Designations and the Warrants.
(m) Reservation
of Shares.
The
Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized,
and
reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 130% of the sum of
(i) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof, that the
Preferred Shares are convertible at the Conversion Price and without taking
into
account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth
in
the Certificate of Designations) and (ii) the maximum number of shares of
Common
Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into account
any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the
Warrants).
(n) Conduct
of Business.
The
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation
of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where
such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in a
Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Stockholder
Approval.
The
Company shall provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special or annual
meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Stockholder
Meeting"),
which
initially shall be promptly called and held not later than June 20, 2007
(the
"Stockholder
Meeting Deadline"),
a
proxy statement, substantially in the form which has been previously reviewed
by
the Buyers and Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP at the expense of the Company,
soliciting each such stockholder's affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting
for approval of resolutions (the "Resolutions")
providing for the Company's issuance of all of the Securities as described
in
the Transaction Documents in accordance with applicable law and the rules
and
regulations of the Principal Market (such affirmative approval being referred
to
herein as the "Stockholder
Approval"
and the
date such approval is obtained, the "Stockholder
Approval Date"),
and
the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders'
approval of the Resolutions and to cause the Board of Directors of the Company
to recommend to the stockholders that they approve the Resolutions. The Company
shall be obligated to seek to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder
Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company's reasonable best efforts the
Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting
Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be
held
each three month period thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is
obtained.
5. REGISTER;
TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
(a) Register.
The
Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other
office
or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of
Securities), a register for the Preferred Shares and the Warrants in which
the
Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the
Preferred Shares and the
Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee),
the number of Preferred Shares held by such Person, the number of Conversion
Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person.
The
Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business
hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
(b) Transfer
Agent Instructions.
The
Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any
subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or credit shares to the
applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"),
registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the
Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in
such
amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form
of
Exhibit
D
attached
hereto (the "Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions").
The
Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer
Agent
Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions
to
give effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer
agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise
be
freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable,
and
to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
If
a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the shares of Common Stock
in
accordance with Section 2(f), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall
promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or
credit
shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such
denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or
assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant
to
an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer
agent
shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the
case
may be, without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach
by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer.
Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach
of its
obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the
event
of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring
immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic
loss
and without any bond or other security being required.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
New
York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision
or
rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would
cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State
of
New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of
the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection
herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein,
and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an
inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is
improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process
and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it
under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by
law.
EACH
PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN

shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party;
provided that a signature transmitted by facsimile or other electronic
transmission shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon
the
signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were
an
original.
(c) Headings.
The
headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not
form
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
(d) Severability.
If any
provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction
or the
validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other
jurisdiction.
(e) Entire
Agreement; Amendments.
This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral
or
written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, their Affiliates and
Persons
acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and
this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced
herein
and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect
to the
matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth
herein
or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision
of
this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed
by
the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Preferred Shares
issued and issuable hereunder, and any amendment to this Agreement made in
conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all
Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable. No provision hereof may
be
waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against
whom
enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent
that
it applies to less than all of the holders of the Preferred Shares then
outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend
or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction
Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties
to
the Transaction Documents, holders of Preferred Shares or holders of the
Warrants, as the case may be. The Company has not, directly or indirectly,
made
any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the

with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
(g) Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the
Preferred Shares or the Warrants. The Company shall not assign this Agreement
or
any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the
holders of at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
issued and issuable hereunder, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction
(unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing
Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Certificate of Designations and
the
Warrants). No Buyer shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company; provided,
however,
that
after the Closing, a Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder
in
connection with transfer of any of its Preferred Shares or Warrants without
the
consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be
a
Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights; provided,
further,
that
notwithstanding the forgoing, any of the Agents may assign some or all of
its
rights hereunder in connection with transfer of any of its Preferred Shares
or
Warrants to any broker-dealer (or any affiliates, officers and/or employees
thereof) and/or any related third party approved by the Company and/or any
of
such Agent's affiliates, officers and/or employees.
(h) No
Third Party Beneficiaries.
This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may
any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
(i) Survival.
Unless
this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations and warranties
of the Company and the Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3 and the agreements
and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 shall survive the Closing
and the
delivery and exercise of Securities, as applicable. Each Buyer shall be
responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and
covenants hereunder.
(j) Further
Assurances.
Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further
acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements,
certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably
request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(k) Indemnification.
In
consideration of each Buyer's execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all
of the
Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company
shall
defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder
of
the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers,
directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing
Persons' agents or other representatives (including, without limitation,
those
retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
(collectively, the "Indemnitees"),
as
incurred, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims,
losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party
to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified
Liabilities"),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating
to (a)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by
the
Company in the Transaction Documents, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement
or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or (c)
any
cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by
a
third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on
behalf
of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any
other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii)
any
transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any
disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (iv) the status
of
such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant
to
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent
that
the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason,
the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction
of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable
law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with
respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(k) shall be the
same
as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights
Agreement.
(l) No
Strict Construction.
The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen
by the
parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction
will
be applied against any party.
(m) Remedies.
The
Company, each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights
and
remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies
which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement
or
contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any
Person
having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled
to
enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security),
to
recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement
and
to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, each party hereto
recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge
any
or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at
law may
prove to be inadequate relief to the other parties hereto. Each party hereto
therefore agrees that the other parties hereto shall be entitled to seek
temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity
of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other
security.
(n) Rescission
and
Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any
similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises
a
right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company
does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein
provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion
from
time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand
or
election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and
rights.
(o) Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder
or
pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce
or
exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments
or
the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside,
recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise
restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any
law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal
law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any
such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
(p) Independent
Nature of Buyers' Obligations and Rights.
The
obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and
not
joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible
in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under
any
Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall
be
deemed to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers
are
in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations
or
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company
acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and
the
Company will not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations
or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Buyer confirms
that
it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction
contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each
Buyer
shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including,
without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any
other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer
to be
joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

2. Registration.

Mandatory Registration.
The
Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than
the Initial Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration
Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the Initial Registrable Securities.
In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company
shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another
appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to
the
provisions of Section 2(e). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant
hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common
Stock
equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of date the
Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC (subject to subsequent
reduction if directed by the staff of the SEC). The Initial Registration
Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders)
the "Selling
Stockholders"
and
"Plan
of Distribution"
sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B.
The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Initial Registration
Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable. By 9:30 a.m.,
New York time, on the second Business Day following the Initial Effectiveness
Date,
the
Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933
Act
the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such
Registration Statement.
b. Additional
Mandatory Registrations.
The
Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later
than
the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an
Additional
Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the Additional
Registrable Securities not previously registered on a Registration Statement
hereunder. To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit the Additional
Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration
Statement, the Company shall file Additional Registration Statements
successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement
the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the
Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with the SEC.
In the
event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall
use such other form as is available for such a registration on another
appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to
the
provisions of Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared
pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares
of
Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount as of date
the
Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC. Each Additional
Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the
Required Holders) the "Selling
Stockholders"
and
"Plan
of Distribution"
sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B.
The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have each Additional
Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.
By
9:30 a.m., New York time, on the second Business Day following the Additional
Effectiveness Date,
the
Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933
Act
the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such
Registration Statement.
c. Allocation
of Registrable Securities.
The
initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement
and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein
shall
be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable
Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering
such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared
effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers
any of such Investor's Registrable Securities in a transaction in which such
Investor's rights hereunder with respect to such Registrable Securities are
assigned to such transferee in accordance with Section 9 hereof, such 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 shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement
and
which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the
remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities
then
held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.
In no
event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities
on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required
Holders. In the event that the SEC causes the Company to limit the number
of
shares of Common Stock in the Initial Registration Statement, then the Agent
Warrant Shares and the Retainer Warrant Shares shall not be included on such
Initial Registration Statement and shall only be included on the final
Additional Registration Statements filed hereunder on or after all the other
Registrable Securities hereunder have been registered on a Registration
Statement.
d. Legal
Counsel.
Subject
to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select
one
legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section
2
("Legal
Counsel"),
which
shall be Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP or such other counsel as thereafter
designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel
shall
reasonably
cooperate with each other in performing the Company's obligations under this
Agreement.
e. Ineligibility
for Form S-3.
In the
event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of
Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale
of
the Registrable Securities on Form S-1, Form SB-2 or another appropriate
form
reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register
the
Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or by post-effective amendment to the
existing Registration Statement, or otherwise) as soon as such form is available
for such registration, provided that the Company shall maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time
as a
Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment) on Form S-3 covering
the
Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
f. Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered.
In the
event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an
Investor's allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section
2(c), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file
a
new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if
applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount
as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such
amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable,
but in any event (other with respect to Cutback Shares) not later than thirty
(30) days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its
best
efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes
of
the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration
Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover all of the Registrable
Securities" if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available
for
resale under the Registration Statement is less than the product determined
by
multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii)
0.80.
The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without
regard
to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares or the exercise
of
the Warrants and such calculation shall assume that the Preferred Shares
are
then convertible into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Conversion
Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations and that the Warrants
are
then exercisable for shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Exercise
Price (as defined in the Warrants).
g. Effect
of Failure to File.
If (i)
a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required
to
be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this
Agreement is not filed with the SEC on or before the respective Filing Deadline
(a "Filing
Failure")
or
(ii) on any day after the Effectiveness Date sales of all of the Registrable
Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot
be made
(other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r))
pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without
limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective,
to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant
to
such Registration Statement, to register a sufficient number of shares of
Common
Stock or to maintain the listing of the shares of Common Stock) (a "Maintenance
Failure")
then,
as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay
in
or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock
(which
remedy shall not
be
exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company
shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration
Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Stated Amount
(as
such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of such holder's
Preferred Shares from which the Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement are convertible on each of the following dates: (i)
the
day of a Filing failure and the thirtieth day (pro rated for periods totaling
less than 30 days) thereafter until such Filing Failure is cured and (ii)
the
initial day of a Maintenance Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated
for
periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until such Maintenance
Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant
to
this Section 2(g) are referred to herein as "Registration
Delay Payments."
The
Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the day of the Filing Failure
and
on the initial day of the Maintenance Failure, as applicable, and thereafter
on
the fifth Business Day after the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar
month in which such Registration Delay Payments are incurred and (ii) the
date
on which the Filing Failure or Maintenance Failure is cured (each, a
"Registration
Delay Payment Date").
Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Securities Purchase Agreement to
the
contrary, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Registration Delay Payments
exceed, in the aggregate, six percent (6.0%) of the aggregate Purchase
Price.
3. Related
Obligations.
At
such
time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the
SEC
pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(d) or 2(e), the Company will use its reasonable
best
efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the
Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement
with respect to the Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts
to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities
to
become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing. The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep each Registration
Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of
(i)
the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule
144(k) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii)
the
date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement (the "Registration
Period").
The
Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments
or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain
any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to
be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case
of
prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made)
not
misleading. The term "reasonable best efforts" shall mean, among other things,
that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within five (5) Business Days after
the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular
Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff
of
the SEC has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as
the
case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c)
(which approval is promptly sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness
of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than 48 hours
after
the submission of such request.
b. The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and
the
prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during
the
Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions
of the
1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of
the
Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of
such
Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth
in
such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to
a
Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement
(including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing
a
report on Form 10-QSB, Form 10-KSB or any analogous report under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act")),
the
Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration
Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with
the
SEC promptly after the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement
for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
c. The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a
Registration Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing
with
the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements
(except for Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB,
Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within
a
reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not
file
any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to
which
Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request
for
acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment
or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which
consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall
furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence
from
the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating
to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and
filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s)
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits
and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy
of the
prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel
in performing the Company's obligations pursuant to this Section 3.
d. The
Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included
in any Registration Statement unless filed with the SEC through EDGAR, without
charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at
least
one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by
reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary
prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one
(1)
copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such
Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including
copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably
request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
e. The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify,
unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale
by
Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement
under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of all applicable jurisdictions
in the United States and the applicable securities laws of Canada, (ii) prepare
and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may
be
necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period,
(iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations
and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period,
and
(iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify
the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however,
that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would
not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent
to
service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify
Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt
by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United
States
and any other securities laws of Canada or its receipt of actual notice of
the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
f. The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening
of any event, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware
of such
event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain
any
material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly
prepare
a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such
untrue
statement or omission and deliver one (1) copy of such supplement or amendment
to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal
Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also
promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus
or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed,
and
when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become
effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal
Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such
effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for
amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus
or
related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable determination
that a
post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be
appropriate.
g. The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any
stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement,
or
the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities
for
sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to
obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible
moment and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable
Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.
h. If
any
Investor is deemed to be, alleged to be or reasonably believes it may be
deemed
or alleged to be, an underwriter or is required under applicable securities
laws
to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, at the
reasonable request of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor,
on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter
from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i)
a
letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent certified public
accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent
certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the Investors (subject to the Investors making such representations
and undertakings as such accountants may reasonably request), and (ii) an
opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes
of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily
given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
Investors.
i. If
any
Investor is deemed to be, alleged to be or reasonably believes it may be
deemed
or alleged to be, an underwriter or is required under applicable securities
laws
to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, upon the
written request of any Investor in connection with such Investor's due diligence
requirements, if any, the Company shall make available for inspection by
(i) any
Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents
retained by the Investors (collectively, the "Inspectors"),
all
pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents
and
properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"),
as
shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector
may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree
to
hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an
Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines
in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors
are
so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid
or
correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise
required under the 1933 Act (and only after giving the Company a reasonable
opportunity to make such disclosure itself), (b) the release of such Records
is
ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court
or
government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such
Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure
in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give
prompt
notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other
confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be
deemed
to limit the Investors' ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner
that
is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
j. The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws,
(ii)
the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release
of
such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such
information
has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure
in
violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that
it
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor
is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction
or
through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow
such
Investor, at the Investor's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such
information.
k. The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause all of
the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on
each
securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued
by
the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) if,
despite the Company's reasonable best efforts, the Company is unsuccessful
in
satisfying the preceding clause (i) and, without limiting the generality
of the
foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for at least two
market
makers to register with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD")
as
such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all
fees
and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section
3(k).
l. The
Company shall, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation
and
delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing
the
Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to an effective Registration
Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts,
as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered
in
such names as the Investors may request.
m. If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable
(i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating
to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without
limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities
being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other
terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering;
(ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or
make
amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor
holding any Registrable Securities.
n. The
Company shall make generally available to its security holders not later
than
ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings
statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions
of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning
not
later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the
effective date of the Registration Statement.
o. Within
two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable
Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, or
shall
cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for
such
Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable
Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that
such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC substantially
in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A.
p. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effectiveness Date,
the
Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning
the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith
opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company after consultation with
its
counsel, in the best interest of the Company (a "Grace
Period");
provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing
of
the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace
Period
(provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of
such
material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which
the
Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the
date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace
Period
shall exceed ten (10) consecutive days and during any three hundred sixty
five
(365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of forty
(40)
days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) trading
days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an "Allowable
Grace Period").
For
purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period
shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred
to
in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors
receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in
such
notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during
the
period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period,
the
Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect
to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public
information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of
Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms
of the
Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract
for
sale and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable
Registration Statement (unless an exemption from such prospectus delivery
requirements exists), prior to the Investor's receipt of the notice of a
Grace
Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
q. The
Company shall make any filing as may be required by NASD Rule 2710 in connection
with the offering under any Registration Statement of the applicable Registrable
Securities and shall make any such filing concurrently with its initial filing
of such Registration Statement with the SEC.
4. Obligations
of the Investors.
a. At
least
five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a
Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing
of the
information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor
elects
to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
of
the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with
respect
to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor
shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain
the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and
shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company
may
reasonably request.
b. Each
Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees
to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection
with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder,
unless
such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election
to
exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement.
c. Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first
sentence of 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition
of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering
such
Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first
sentence of 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is
required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause
its
transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee
of
an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which
an
Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt
of
a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described
in
Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) and for which the Investor has
not
yet settled.
d. Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom
in
connection with sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
5. Expenses
of Registration.
All
reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred
in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections
2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and
qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements
of
counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall also
reimburse the Investors for the fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in
connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections
2 and
3 of this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $15,000 for the Initial
Registration Statement and for each Additional Registration
Statement.
6. Indemnification.
In
the
event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement
under
this Agreement:
a. To
the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify,
hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, members,
partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any,
who
controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
(each,
an "Indemnified
Person"),
against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties,
charges, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or
expenses, joint or several (collectively, "Claims"),
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit,
inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by
or
before any court or governmental,
administrative
or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened,
whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified
Damages"),
to
which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out
of
or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a
material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction
in
which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue
Sky Filing"),
or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii)
any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented,
if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC)
or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary
to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which
the
statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of
this
Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being,
collectively, "Violations").
Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons,
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal
fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this
Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising
out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified
Person
for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation
of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement
thereto; and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim
if
such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made
by or
on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
b. In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is
participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is
set
forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls
the
Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an
"Indemnified
Party"),
against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become
subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim
or
Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each
case
to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company
by such
Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement;
and,
subject to Section 6(c), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this
Section
6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section
7 shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is
effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent
shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that
the
Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of
a Claim
or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor
as a
result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of
any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant
to
Section 9.
c. Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section
6
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person
or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party
a
written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party
so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to
assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as
the
case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses
of not
more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
to be
paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of
the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would
be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by
such
counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the
Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate reasonably with the
indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such
action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying
party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying
party
shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at
all
times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with
respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement
of any
action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent,
provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to
entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does
not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability
in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include
any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following
indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be
subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with
respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter
for
which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice
to
the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any
such
action shall not relieve such
indemnifying
party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under
this
Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced
in its
ability to defend such action.
d. The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments
of
the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as
and
when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
e. The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause
of
action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against
the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying
party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
7. Contribution.
To
the
extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited
by
law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with
respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to
the
fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved
in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in
connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities
shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such
seller
from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement.
8. Reports
Under the 1934 Act.
With
a
view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that
may
at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the
public
without registration ("Rule
144"),
the
Company agrees to:
a. make
and
keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in
Rule 144;
b. file
with
the SEC in a timely manner all annual reports on Form 10-K or 10-KSB, and
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or 10-QSB required of the Company under the
1934
Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing
of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions
of
Rule 144; and
c. furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly
upon written request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that
it
has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and
the
1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and
(iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors
to
sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
9. Assignment
of Registration Rights.
The
rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors
to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor's Registrable
Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or
assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished
to the
Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company
is,
within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with
written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee,
and
(b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment
the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee
is
restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at
or
before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause
(ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the
Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such
transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements
of
the Securities Purchase Agreement.
10. Amendment
of Registration Rights.
Provisions
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required
Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section
10
shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall
be
effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of
the
Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this
Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties
to
this Agreement.
11. Miscellaneous.
a. A
Person
is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns
or
is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives
conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with
respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the
basis
of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such
Registrable Securities.
b. Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted
to be
given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed
to
have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon
receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is
mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending
party);
or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive
the
same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall

and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it

Re: Cleveland
BioLabs, Inc.
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
[We
are][I am] counsel to Cleveland BioLabs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"),
and
have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement")
entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein
(collectively, the "Holders")
pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders preferred shares (the
"Preferred
Shares")
convertible into the Company's common stock, $0.005 par value (the "Common
Stock"),
warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants").
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered
into
a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the "Registration
Rights Agreement")
pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the
Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement),
including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants,
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act").
In
connection with the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement, on ____________ ___, 200_, the Company filed a Registration Statement
on Form ____ (File No. 333-_____________) (the "Registration
Statement")
with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as
a
selling stockholder thereunder.
In
connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC's
staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order
declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at
[ENTER
TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS]
on
[ENTER
DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]
and
[we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic
inquiry
of a member of the SEC's staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness
has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before,
or
threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale
under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
This
letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the shares of
Common
Stock are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration
Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future
legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders
as
contemplated by the Company's Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated
_______ __, 2007.
Very
truly yours,

SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
shares of Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders are issuable
upon conversion of the convertible preferred shares and upon exercise of
the
warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of those convertible
preferred shares and warrants, see "Private Placement of Convertible Preferred
Shares and Warrants" above. We are registering the shares of Common Stock
in
order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from
time to time. Except for the ownership of the preferred shares and warrants
issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders
have not had any material relationship with us within the past three
years.
The
table
below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock by each of the selling
stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of
the
convertible preferred shares and warrants, as of ________, 200_, assuming
conversion of all convertible preferred shares and exercise of the warrants
held
by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations
on
conversions or exercise.
The
third
column lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus
by the
selling stockholders.
In
accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling
stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least 130%
of
the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of
the convertible preferred shares as of the trading day immediately preceding
the
date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part was initially
filed with the SEC and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon
exercise of the related warrants as of the trading day immediately preceding
the
date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part was initially
filed with the SEC [Subject to revision for Additional Registration Statements].
Because the conversion price of the convertible preferred shares and the
exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that
will
actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered
by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares
offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under
the
terms of the certificate of designations and the warrants, a selling stockholder
may not convert the preferred shares or exercise the warrants to the extent
such
conversion or exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with
its
affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which
would
exceed 9.99% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock following such
conversion or exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred shares
which
have not been converted and upon exercise of the warrants which have not
been
exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this
limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their
shares
in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
are
registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
convertible preferred shares and upon exercise of the warrants to permit
the
resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders of the convertible
preferred shares and warrants from time to time after the date of this
prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the
selling
stockholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses
incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.
The
selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly
or
through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares
of
Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling
stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions
or
agent's commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more
transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of
the
sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated
prices.
These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or
block
transactions,
|
· |
on
any national securities exchange or quotation service on which
the
securities may be listed or quoted at the time of
sale;
|
|
· |
in
the over-the-counter market;
|
|
· |
in
transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in
the
over-the-counter market;
|
|
· |
through
the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options
exchange or otherwise;
|
|
· |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
|
· |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal
to
facilitate the transaction;
|
|
· |
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its
account;
|
|
· |
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
· |
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
· |
sales
pursuant to Rule 144;
|
|
· |
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified
number of
such shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
and
|
|
· |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
If
the
selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common
Stock
to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from
purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or
to
whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions
as
to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of
those
customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales
of
the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter
into
hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short
sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions
they
assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short
and
deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short
positions created after the effective date of the registration statement
of
which this prospectus is a part and to return borrowed shares in connection
with
such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares
of
Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The
selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all
of
the convertible preferred shares or warrants or shares of Common Stock owned
by
them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations,
the
pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock
from
time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any supplement to this prospectus
under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act
of
1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders
to
include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling
stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer
and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case
the
transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the
selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution
of
the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the
meaning
of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions
allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering
of the
shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will
be
distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common
Stock
being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names
of any
broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms
constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts,
commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
broker-dealers.
Under
the
securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in
such
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition,
in
some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares
have
been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There
can
be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the
shares
of Common Stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement,
of
which this prospectus forms a part.
The
selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution
will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing
of
purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling
stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict
the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common
Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of
Common
Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of
Common
Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.
We
will
pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant
to
the registration rights agreement, estimated to be
$[ ] in total, including, without limitation,
Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance
with
state securities or "blue sky" laws; provided, however, that a selling
stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions,
if any.
We will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities,
including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with
the
registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled
to
contribution with respect thereto. We will be indemnified by the selling
stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to
us by
the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance
with the related registration rights agreement, or we will be entitled to
contribution.
Once
sold
under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part,
the
shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other
than our affiliates.

FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland
BioLabs to Respond to Department of Defense Request for Proposal and Completes
$30 Million Private Placement
Protectan
CBLB502 Meets DoD Requirements for Protection of GI Tract, Safety, Stability
and
Method of Administration;
RFP
Outlines Procurement Range of 50,000-500,000 Doses
Cleveland,
OH - March 19, 2007 -- Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CBLI;
Boston Stock Exchange: CFB),
today
announced that it intends to respond to a Request for Proposal (RFP) recently
issued by The Department of Defense (DoD) for the Advanced Development
of
Medical Radiation Countermeasures (MRC) to treat gastrointestinal effects
of
acute radiation syndrome. The Company also announced the closing of a private
placement for approximately $30 million with accredited investors, which
will
enable fulfillment of the requirements of the RFP as well as advancement
of the
Company’s pipeline of compounds.
Dr.
Michael Fonstein, Chief Executive Officer and President of Cleveland BioLabs
stated, “We look forward to submitting our Protectan CBLB502 compound as a
candidate for this contract. We believe CBLB502’s unique abilities to mitigate
the damaging effects of ionizing radiation on the gastrointestinal system
as
well as demonstrate significant survival benefits are ideally suited to
the
DoD’s requirements. Moreover, the compound’s safety profile, stability and
method of administration all conform to the preferences outlined by the
RFP.”
“We
plan
to complete current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)-compliant manufacturing
by fall 2007 and submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for
a
human safety study later this year,” added Dr. Fonstein. “If development
continues on track, we expect to file an application for final approval
of
CBLB502 with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in mid to late
2008.”
According
to the RFP, “The objective of the MRC project is to develop a post-exposure MRC
through a Phase 1 clinical trial and, pending successful completion of
the Phase
1 clinical trial, develop the MRC product through approval/licensure with
the
FDA and procure quantities of the MRC sufficient to achieve Initial Operational
Capability (IOC). A range of 50,000 to 500,000 doses was specified to achieve
IOC. The RFP stated that the MRC “must be safe, efficacious, quick acting, free
from performance-decrementing side effects, relatively non-invasive, approved
by
the FDA, compatible with current military countermeasures, and usable in
both
the battlespace and the sustaining base.”
The
solicitation specifically seeks a “drug/biologic intended for use after exposure
occurs. It is anticipated that the countermeasure, when administered
following exposure to ionizing radiation (IR), will decrease incapacity
and
prolong survival by treating the gastrointestinal (GI) syndrome of Acute
Radiation Syndrome (ARS). Specifically, when administered following
exposure to IR, the countermeasure should either prevent/reduce the extent
of
incipient radiation injury or promote repair of manifest radiation
injury
to
allow
preservation/restoration of the anatomic integrity and normal physiologic
functioning of the GI tract.”
Cleveland
BioLabs’s lead
compound, Protectan CBLB502, has demonstrated effectiveness as a radiation
countermeasure when administered up to 2 hours prior to exposure or up
to 8
hours after. CBLB502
is the first compound to provide protection from both gastrointestinal
and
hematopoietic (bone marrow/blood production) radiation-induced
damage.
The
compound does not display toxicity at therapeutic doses.
The
Department of Defense’s RFP may be publicly accessed from the following URL:
http://www.smdc.army.mil/Contracts/RFP/07-R-0002/MedRad.html.
Responses
to the RFP are due by April 23, 2007.
On
March
16, 2007, Cleveland BioLabs completed a $30 million private placement
of
