PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") made as of
this 9th day of April, 1999 between TELENETICS CORPORATION, a California
corporation, with its principal offices at 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (the "Company") and the undersigned (the "Subscriber").
W I T N E S S E T H :
---------------------
WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue shares of its Series A
7.0% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") at $1.75 per
share with a minimum aggregate purchase price of $750,000 and, in one or more
tranches, a maximum aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000; and
WHEREAS, each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into
shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Common
Stock"), at the price per share, subject to adjustment (the "Conversion Price")
as set forth in the Company's Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated
March 16, 1999, as amended by First Amended dated April 8, 1999, together with
all exhibits thereto, as same may thereafter be supplemented and/or amended
(collectively, the "Memorandum"); and
WHEREAS, with each share of Preferred Stock issued by the
Company, the Company will also issue a five (5) year Common Stock Purchase
Warrant (the "Warrants") to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at $1.875 per
share, subject to adjustment (the "Exercise Price"); and
WHEREAS, Subscriber desires to acquire shares of Preferred
Stock having an aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereof
(the "Purchase Price").
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and
the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree
as follows:
1. SUBSCRIPTION FOR SECURITIES AND REPRESENTATIONS BY
SUBSCRIBER.
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the
Company for $1.75 per share, shares of Preferred Stock aggregating the Purchase
Price and the Company agrees to sell such Preferred Stock to the Subscriber for
the Purchase Price, subject to the Company's right to sell to the Subscriber
such lesser amount of Preferred Stock as it may, in its sole discretion, deem
necessary or desirable. The Purchase Price is payable by wire transfer or by
check, subject to collection, as set forth in the "INSTRUCTIONS TO SUBSCRIBERS"
contained in the Subscription Documents Booklet of which this Agreement is a
part. The Company also agrees to issue the applicable number of Warrants to
-1-
the Subscriber (e.g., if the Subscriber purchases 400,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, the Company will issue Warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of Common
Stock to the Subscriber).
1.2 The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of
the Preferred Stock and Warrants involves a high degree of risk in that (i) no
public market exists for the Preferred Stock or Warrants; (ii) the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and upon exercise
of the Warrants (collectively, the "Conversion Shares") have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), and the Company has
no obligation to register the Conversion Shares, except as set forth in Section
3 below; (iii) an investment in the Preferred Stock and Warrants is highly
speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire
investment should consider investing in the Company and the Preferred Stock and
Warrants; (iv) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate the Subscriber's
investment; and (v) the Subscriber could sustain the loss of Subscriber's entire
investment. Such risks are more fully set forth in the Memorandum.
1.3 The private placement of the Preferred Stock and
Warrants by the Company (the "Offering") pursuant to the Memorandum shall
continue for a period commencing on the date of the Memorandum and ending on the
date set forth in the Memorandum.
1.4 The Subscriber represents as follows:
(a) The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber
is an Accredited Investor (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated
under the 0000 Xxx) as indicated by the Subscriber's responses to the
Confidential Investor Questionnaire, a copy of which is included in the
Subscription Documents Booklet, and that the Subscriber is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Preferred Stock and Warrants.
(b) The Subscriber acknowledges that the
Subscriber has significant prior investment experience, including investment in
non-listed and non-registered securities. The Subscriber recognizes the highly
speculative nature of this investment. The Subscriber acknowledges that the
Subscriber has carefully read the Memorandum, including but not limited to, the
Company's Form 12b-25 relating to the Company's Form 10-KSB to be filed for the
interim fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Company's Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, the Company's Form 10-QSBs for the fiscal
quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 1998, and the terms and conditions of
the Preferred Stock and Warrants and fully understands the contents thereof.
(c) The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that this
Offering, the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Memorandum have not been
reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or by
any state securities regulator because it is intended to be a nonpublic offering
pursuant to Sections 3(a), 4(2) and 4(6) of the 1933 Act and Rule 506 of
Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber represents that the
Preferred Stock and Warrants are being purchased for the Subscriber's own
account, for investment purposes only and not for distribution or resale to
others. The Subscriber agrees that the Subscriber will not sell or otherwise
transfer the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or Conversion Shares unless they are
registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration is
available.
-2-
(d) The Subscriber understands that the Preferred
Stock and Warrants have not been registered under the 1933 Act by reason of a
claimed exemption under the provisions of the 1933 Act which depends, in part,
upon the Subscriber's investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber
understands that it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such
exemption would not be present if the Subscriber's representation merely meant
that the Subscriber's present intention was to hold the Preferred Stock and
Warrants (and/or the Conversion Shares) for a short period, such as the capital
gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming
that a market develops, or for any other fixed period. The Subscriber realizes
that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell after a
pre-determined amount of time would represent a purchase with an intent
inconsistent with the Subscriber's representation to the Company, and the SEC
might regard such a sale or disposition as a deferred sale to which such
exemptions are not available.
(e) The Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the
"Rule") promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act requires, among other
conditions, a one year holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts)
of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the
registration requirements under the 1933 Act. The Subscriber understands and
hereby acknowledges that the Company is the only entity that can register the
Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act and that the Company is under no obligation
to register the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or Conversion Shares under the
1933 Act, with the exception of certain registration rights set forth in Section
3 below. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may, if it desires, permit
the transfer of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or the Conversion Shares out
of the Subscriber's name only when the Subscriber's request for transfer is
accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that
neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the 1933
Act or any applicable state "blue sky" laws and subject to the provisions of
Section 1.4(f) hereof.
(f) The Subscriber consents to the placement of a
legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Preferred Stock, the
Warrants and the Conversion Shares stating that they have not been registered
under the 1933 Act and under applicable state securities laws and setting forth
or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.
(g) The Subscriber understands that the Company
will review this Agreement and the Confidential Investor Questionnaire; and it
is further agreed that the Company reserves the unrestricted right to reject or
limit any subscription and to close the Offering at any time.
(h) The Subscriber hereby represents that the
address of Subscriber furnished by the Subscriber at the end of this Agreement
is the Subscriber's principal residence, if the Subscriber is an individual, or
its principal business address, if the Subscriber is a corporation or other
entity.
-3-
(i) The Subscriber has had a reasonable
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning
the Company and the Offering, and all such questions, if any, have been answered
to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber; and the Company shall provide
Subscriber with the opportunity to ask additional questions of and receive
answers (all of which information shall be limited to information in the public
realm) from the Company concerning the Company during the period which the
Subscriber owns the Preferred Stock and/or Warrants.
(j) The Subscriber has such knowledge and
expertise in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks involved in an investment in the Preferred Stock
and Warrants.
(k) The Subscriber has full power and authority
to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform the obligations of the
undersigned hereunder; and this Agreement is a legally binding obligation of the
Subscriber enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(l) Except as set forth in this Agreement, the
Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Memorandum, no representations or
warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company, the Placement Agent
(as defined in the Memorandum) or any of their respective agents, employees or
affiliates, and in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying
on any information, other than that contained in the Preferred Stock, the
Memorandum and the public documents of the Company (e.g., the Form 12b-25, the
fiscal 1998 Form 10-KSB, the Form 10-QSBs for the first two quarters of fiscal
1999), and the results of an independent investigation by the Subscriber.
(m) The Subscriber agrees that Subscriber will
not sell or otherwise transfer the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or Conversion
Shares unless they are registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state "blue
sky" laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The
Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber has adequate means of providing
for the Subscriber's current needs and possible personal contingencies, (ii) the
Subscriber has no need for liquidity in this investment, (iii) the Subscriber is
able to bear the substantial economic risk of an investment in the Preferred
Stock and Warrants for an indefinite period, and (iv) at the present time the
Subscriber could afford a complete loss of such investment.
(n) It is understood that all documents, records
and books pertaining to this investment have been made available for the
inspection by the Subscriber's attorney and/or accountant and the Subscriber.
2. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The Offering of the Preferred Stock and Warrants is
being made on a "best efforts" basis as more particularly set forth in the
Memorandum.

3. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
(a) As soon as possible after the Final Closing
Date, but in no event later than July 31, 1999 (regardless of whether the
maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock (and Warrants) shall have been
sold), the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, file a registration
statement on the appropriate form under the 1933 Act with the SEC covering all
of the Conversion Shares and such additional shares of Common Stock that may be
issued as a result of any adjustment to the Conversion Price for the Preferred
Stock and/or the Exercise Price for the Warrants as set forth in the Memorandum
and as set forth below (collectively, the "Registrable Securities") for all
holders of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and Registrable Securities
(collectively, the "Registered Holders"), time being of the essence. The Company
will use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective
as soon as possible after filing, and to keep such registration statement
current and effective for at least three (3) years from the Final Closing Date
or until such earlier date as all of the Registrable Securities registered
pursuant to such registration statement shall have been sold. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if such registration statement shall
not be filed with the SEC by July 31, 1999 or the Registration Statement shall
not be declared effective by December 31, 1999 (regardless of whether the
maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock (and Warrants) shall have been
sold), then (i) with respect to the failure to file the Registration Statement
by July 31, 1999, the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock and the Exercise
Price for the Warrants shall be reduced (and concomitantly the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and upon the
exercise of the Warrants shall increase) by the percentage resulting from
multiplying six (6%) percent by the number of thirty (30) day periods, or any
part thereof, beyond July 31, 1999, until the initial registration statement
described herein covering the Registered Securities is filed with the SEC and/or
(ii) with respect to the Registration Statement not being declared effective by
December 31, 1999, the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock and the Exercise
Price for the Warrants shall be reduced (and concomitantly the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and upon the
exercise of the Warrants shall increase) by the percentage resulting from
multiplying six (6%) percent by the number of thirty (30) day periods, or any
part thereof, beyond December 31, 1999, until the initial registration statement
described herein covering the Registered Securities is declared effective. The
maximum reduction pursuant to this provision shall be thirty-six (36%) percent.
(b) If the Company effects any registration under
the 1933 Act of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(a) above or
3(g) below, the Company shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and
hold harmless any person or entity whose Registrable Securities are included in
such registration statement (each, a "Seller"), any underwriter, any officer,
director, affiliate, shareholder, employee or agent of any Seller or
underwriter, and each other person, if any, who controls any Seller or
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgment, fines, penalties, costs and
expenses, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof (collectively, the
"Claims"), to which each such indemnified party becomes subject, under the 1933
Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
or any document filed under a state securities or blue sky law (collectively,
the "Registration Documents") or insofar as such Claims arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any Registration
Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements made therein not misleading, and will reimburse any such indemnified
-5-
party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in investigating or defending any such Claim; provided that the Company
shall not be liable in any such case to a particular indemnified party to the
extent such Claim is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in
any Registration Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such indemnified party
specifically for use in the preparation of such Registration Document.
(c) In connection with any registration statement in
which any Seller is participating, each Seller, severally and not jointly, shall
indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless the Company, each
of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration
statement, each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, each other Seller and each underwriter,
any officer, director, affiliate, shareholder, employee or agent of any such
other Seller or underwriter and each other person, if any, who controls such
other Seller or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
against any Claims to which each such indemnified party may become subject under
the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions in respect
thereof) are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any Registration Document, or insofar as any Claims
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any Registration
Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements made therein not misleading, and will reimburse any such indemnified
party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that such
indemnification or reimbursement shall be payable only if, and to the extent
that, any such Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any
Registration Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Seller specifically for use in the
preparation thereof.
(d) Any person entitled to indemnification under
Section 3(b) or 3(c) above shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement of any Claim if a claim for indemnification in
respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section
3(d), but the omission of such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party
from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
under Section 3(b) or 3(c) above, except to the extent that such failure shall
materially adversely affect any indemnifying party or its rights hereunder. In
case any action is brought against the indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it chooses, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party;
and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party that it
so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to
take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Claim within twenty
(20) days after receiving notice from the indemnified party that the indemnified
party believes it has failed to do so; (ii) if the indemnified party who is a
defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the
indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses
available to the indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying
party; or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is
otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the
indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as
-6-
set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified
parties, except to the extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall
have concluded that there are legal defenses available to such party or parties
which are not available to the other indemnified parties or to the extent
representation of all indemnified parties by the same counsel is otherwise
inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and the
indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor;
provided, that no indemnifying party shall be subject to any liability for any
settlement of a Claim made without its consent (which may not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense
of any Claim hereunder, such indemnifying party shall not enter into any
settlement without the consent of the indemnified party if such settlement
attributes liability to the indemnified party.
(e) If for any reason the indemnity provided in
Section 3(b) or 3(c) above is unavailable, or is insufficient to hold harmless,
an indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of any Claim in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If, however, the allocation
provided in the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable
law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable in
respect of any Claim shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no underwriter or
controlling person thereof, if any, shall be required to contribute, in respect
of such underwriter's participation as an underwriter in the offering, any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable
Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The obligation of any underwriters to contribute pursuant to
this paragraph (e) shall be several in proportion to their respective
underwriting commitments and not joint.
(f) The provisions of Section 3(b) through 3(e) of
this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or
contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract
and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party.
(g) The Registered Holders shall have certain
"piggy-back" registration rights with respect to the Registrable Securities as
hereinafter provided:
-7-
A. If at any time after the date of the Final
Closing Date and prior to the date that the Registrable Securities are
registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the Company shall
file with the SEC a registration statement under the 1933 Act (other than a
registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor thereto, or
filed in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely
to the Company's existing shareholders) registering any shares of Common Stock,
the Company shall give written notice to each Registered Holder thereof prior to
such filing.
B. Within fifteen (15) days after such notice
from the Company, each Registered Holder shall give written notice to the
Company as to whether or not the Registered Holder desires to have all or any of
the Registered Holder's Registrable Securities included in the registration
statement. If a Registered Holder fails to give such notice within such period,
such Registered Holder shall not have the right to have such Registered Holder's
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement. If a
Registered Holder gives such notice, then the Company shall include such
Registered Holder's Registrable Securities in the registration statement, at the
Company's sole cost and expense, subject to the remaining terms of this Section
3(g); provided, however, that each Registered Holder shall pay all underwriting
discounts, commissions and transfer taxes as well as his, her or its own counsel
fees, if any, relating to the sale of such Registered Holder's Registrable
Securities.
C. If the registration statement relates to an
underwritten offering, and the underwriter shall determine in writing that the
total number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the offering, including
the Registrable Securities, shall exceed the amount which the underwriter in its
sole discretion deems to be appropriate for the offering, the number of shares
of the Registrable Securities shall be reduced pro rata (based on the number of
Registrable Securities requested to be included). The Registered Holders
participating in the offering shall enter into such agreements as may be
reasonably required by the underwriters.
D. The Registered Holders shall have two (2)
opportunities to have the Registrable Securities registered under this Section
3(g); provided however that their Registrable Securities are not sooner
registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 3(a) above.
E. The Registered Holder shall furnish in
writing to the Company such information as the Company shall reasonably require
in connection with a registration statement.
F. The Company may, at any time and in its sole
discretion, decide not to proceed with the filing of a registration statement
which may have give rise to "piggy back" rights under this Section 3(g) or may
at any time terminate or suspend such registration, in which event each
Registered Holder's rights under this Section 3(g) as to the number of
opportunities to "piggy-back" shall be reset.
(h) If and whenever the Company is required by the
provisions of this Section 3(a) to use its best efforts to register any
Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as possible under the circumstances and subject to the terms of this Section 3:
-8-
A. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration
statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible
after filing and remain effective.
B. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
current and effective and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act, and any
regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the sale or disposition of
all Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement required to
effect the distribution of the securities, but in no event shall the Company be
required to do so for a period of more than three (3) years following the Final
Closing Date.
C. Furnish to the Sellers participating in the
offering, copies (in reasonable quantities) of summary, preliminary, final,
amended or supplemented prospectuses, in conformity with the requirements of the
1933 Act and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and other documents as
reasonably may be required in order to facilitate the disposition of the
securities, but only while the Company is required under the provisions hereof
to keep the registration statement current.
D. Use its best efforts to register or qualify
the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such
other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as
the Sellers participating in the offering shall reasonably request, and do any
and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable each
participating Seller to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
in such jurisdictions.
E. Notify each Seller selling Registrable
Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating to any such Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement is required to be delivered
under the 1933 Act, of the Company's becoming aware that the prospectus included
in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light
of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to each
such Seller selling Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of a
prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances then existing.
F. As soon as practicable after the effective
date of the registration statement, and in any event within eighteen (18) months
thereafter, make generally available to Sellers participating in the offering an
earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least
twelve (12) consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the
registration statement which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including, at the Company's option, Rule 158
thereunder. To the extent that the Company files such information with the SEC
in satisfaction of the foregoing, the Company need not deliver the above
referenced earnings statement to Seller.
-9-
G. Upon request, deliver promptly to counsel of
each Seller participating in the offering copies of all correspondence between
the SEC and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to
discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement
and permit each such Seller to do such investigation at such Seller's sole cost
and expense, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information
contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably
necessary. Each Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts not to interfere
unreasonably with the Company's business when conducting any such investigation
and each Seller shall keep any such information received pursuant to this
Section confidential.
H. Provide a transfer agent located in the
United States for all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement.
I. List the Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement on such exchanges and/or on the NASDAQ as the Common
Stock is then currently listed upon.
J. Pay all Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with a registration of Registrable Securities, whether or not such
registration statement shall become effective; provided that each Seller shall
pay all underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer taxes, and their own
counsel fees, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Seller's
Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement. As used herein,
"Registration Expenses" means any and all reasonable and customary expenses
incident to performance of or compliance with the registration rights set forth
herein, including, without limitation, (i) all SEC and stock exchange or
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. registration and filing fees,
(ii) all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in
connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities but no
other expenses of the underwriters or their counsel), (iii) all printing,
messenger and delivery expenses, and (iv) the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Company and the Company's independent public accountants.
(i) The Company acknowledges that there is no
adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this
Section 3 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages,
and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 3 may be
specifically enforced. In the event that the Company shall fail to file such
registration statement when required pursuant to Section 3(a) above or to keep
any registration statement effective as provided in this Section 3 or otherwise
fails to comply with its obligations and agreements in this Section 3, then, in
addition to any other rights or remedies the Registered Holders may have at law
or in equity, including without limitation, the right of rescission, the Issuer
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Registered Holders from and against any
and all manner or loss which they may incur as a result of such failure. In
addition, the Issuer shall also reimburse the Registered Holders for any and all
reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by them in successfully enforcing
their rights pursuant to this Section 3, regardless of whether any litigation
was commenced.
-10-
4. MISCELLANEOUS.
4.1 The Company agrees to use its best efforts to
file timely all reports required to be filed by it pursuant to Sections 13 or 15
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to provide such
information as will permit the Holder to sell the Preferred Stock, Warrants or
any shares of Common Stock acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock
and/or the exercise of the Warrant, respectively, in accordance with Rule 144
under the 0000 Xxx.
4.2 All notices, consents and other communications
under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given (a) when delivered by hand, (b) one business day after the business day of
transmission if sent by telecopier (with receipt confirmed), provided that a
copy is mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or (c) one business
