Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D unless otherwise defined herein.

 

ITEM 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

 

The response to Item 4 is supplemented by adding the following:

 

On September 24, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Ivivi Technologies, LLC (the “Buyer”) and Ajax, entities associated with Mr. Gluckstern. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, at the closing, the Company will sell substantially all of the assets of the Company to the Buyer, other than cash and certain other excluded assets set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, and the Buyer will assume certain specified ordinary course liabilities of the Company as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price to be paid to the Company under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement will equal the sum of (i) the amount necessary to pay in full the principal, and accrued interest, as of closing, under the Company’s loan with Emigrant Capital Corp. plus (ii) $475,000; provided, however, that the sum of the amounts specified in clauses (i) and (ii) shall not be in excess of $3.15 million. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to certain customary conditions, including the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and its investment banker, will continue to have the right to solicit other proposals regarding the sale of the Company’s assets and equity until receipt of the approval by the Company’s shareholders of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. Prior to the receipt of approval by the Company’s shareholders of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company may terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement under specified circumstances in order to enter into a definitive agreement implementing a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement). If the Company terminates the Asset Purchase Agreement to enter into a Superior Proposal, the Company is required to pay the Buyer a termination fee equal to $90,000.

 

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, (A) to take all necessary actions to change its name, (B) that it or any of its affiliates will cease to make any use of (i) its name, (ii) any similar names indicating affiliation with the Buyer, any of its affiliates, the business of the Company or the business or activity engaged

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Participating Shareholders agreed to vote all of their shares of common stock in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

For a more detailed description of the Voting Agreement, see Item 6 below.

(iii)          Discontinuation of Business Relationships. During the Restricted Period, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, seek to induce or otherwise cause any customer, supplier, licensee or any other Person with whom any of the Protected Parties has a material business relationship, whether by contract or otherwise, to discontinue or alter in a manner adverse to any Protected Party, such business relationship.

(iv)          Confidential Information; Personal Relationships. During the Restricted Period, the Company shall keep confidential and shall not, without the prior express written consent of the Buyer, use, disclose or provide access to, any confidential information relating to the Business of any Protected Party, including customer lists and other information, except: (A) any information required to be disclosed by law or court order and (B) any information that is otherwise available to the public or in the public domain, other than as a result of a disclosure by the Company, in violation of confidentiality obligations under any agreement with a Protected Party.

(b)          Rights and Remedies Upon Breach. If the Company breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of Section 6.10(a) (the “Restrictive Covenants”), the Protected Parties shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Protected Parties under law or in equity: (i) the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or               

 

25

 

 


threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Protected Parties and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Protected Parties; and (ii) the right and remedy to require the Company to pay to the Protected Parties all damages, losses, costs or expenses incurred by any Protected Party as the result of any action constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants. The Company shall be obligated to pay the costs of enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.10 by any Protected Party in connection with either such remedy, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and court costs.

(c)          Severability of Covenants. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other respects. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable as to the Company, the remainder of the Restrictive Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect as to the Company, without regard to the invalid portions.

(d)          Blue-Penciling. It is expressly understood and agreed that although the Company considers the Restrictive Covenants to be reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Section 6.10 is an unenforceable restriction against the Company, the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Section 6.10 is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained in this Agreement.

(e)          Enforceability in Jurisdictions. The Buyer and the Company intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the Restrictive Covenants upon the courts of any jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the Restrictive Covenants. If the courts of any one or more of such jurisdictions hold the Restrictive Covenants unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the Buyer and the Company that such determination not bar or in any way affect the Buyer’s right to the relief provided above in the courts of any other jurisdiction within the geographical scope of the Restrictive Covenants, as to breaches of the Restrictive Covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the Restrictive Covenants as they relate to each jurisdiction being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.

Section 6.11.          Bulk Sales Law and Waiver. The Buyer hereby waives compliance by the Company with any applicable bulk transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or of any other applicable bulk transfer tax.

Section 6.12.          Insurance. The Company agrees to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to cause all insurance policies of the Company that are in effect immediately prior to the date of this       

 

26

Section 6.13.          Use of Name. The Company agrees to take all necessary actions to change its name at the time of Closing, and conditional on, the Closing, including obtaining the Board’s approval and the Company’s shareholders approval to the adoption of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation setting forth the change of the Company name. The Company further agrees that from and after the Closing it or any of its Affiliates will cease to make any use of (i) the name “Ivivi Technologies,” (ii) any similar names indicating affiliation with the Buyer, any of its Affiliates, the Business or the business or activity engaged in by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (iii) any identifying symbols, logos, emblems, signs or insignia related to the name “Ivivi Technologies” or containing or comprising the foregoing, or (iv) any name or mark confusingly similar thereto.

Section 6.14.          Further Assurances. From the date hereof through the Closing, the Company agrees to, upon the Buyer’s reasonable request and at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, assist, and cooperate in good faith with, the Buyer in establishing its own payroll systems, accounting systems, billing systems, credit and collection services as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer in order to enable the Buyer to carry on its business immediately following the Closing in a similar manner as to which the Company carried on its Business prior to the Closing.

Section 6.15.          Additional Covenants of the Buyer. The Buyer covenants and agrees as follows:

(a)          Concurrently with the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver an agreement executed by SMG, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and SMG (the “SMG Termination Agreement”), (i) terminating his employment with the Company and the Employment Agreement dated as of December 31, 2008 and amended on April 2, 2009 between the Company and SMG (the “SMG Employment Agreement”) pursuant to Section 4.01(F) thereof, (ii) providing that on the Closing Date all restricted shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date (as specified in the SMG Termination Agreement) that were awarded to SMG pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement dated as of March 31, 2009 between the Company and SMG (the “SMG Restricted Stock Award Agreement” and together with the SMG Employment Agreement, the “SMG Agreements”) will become fully and immediately vested and all restrictions and conditions applicable thereto will lapse, pursuant to Section 1(f) of Exhibit A to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement and acknowledging that SMG shall have no right to any additional restricted shares of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the SMG Restricted Stock Award Agreement (other than such restricted shares of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the SMG Restricted Stock Award Agreement that are outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date), and (iii) providing for an irrevocable waiver and general release by SMG      

 

27

(a)          by the mutual written consent of the Company and the Buyer;

 

(b)  

by either the Company or the Buyer, if:

(i)          the Closing shall not have occurred on or before March 15, 2010 (the “End Date”), and the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not have breached its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have proximately caused the failure to consummate the Transaction on or before the End Date;

(c)  

by the Company, if:

(i)          the Buyer shall have breached or failed to perform any of covenants or other agreements (other than its representations and warranties) contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 and (ii) cannot be cured by the End Date, provided that the Company shall have given the Buyer written notice, delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination, stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i) and the basis for such termination;

30

 

 


to withdraw or modify its Recommendation or enter into an agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the Board’s (or the Special Committee’s) exercise of its fiduciary duty under applicable Law, (C) the Company has provided the Buyer with a Termination Notice (in accordance with Section 6.3(b)(i), (D) following the Negotiation Period (in accordance with Section 6.3(b)(ii)), the Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor and, after considering the results of such negotiations and the revised proposal made by the Buyer, if any, that either: (x) the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Company’s Termination Notice (including any subsequent amendments or modifications) continues to be a Superior Proposal; or (y) it would continue to be inconsistent with Board’s (or the Special Committee’s) fiduciary obligations under applicable Law to recommend in favor of the Transaction and this Agreement on the revised terms, if any, proposed by the Buyer, and (E) the Board has approved, and the Company concurrently enters into, a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of such Superior Proposal; provided, however, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that concurrently with, and as a condition to, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(ii), the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Buyer a termination fee of $90,000 in cash (the “Termination Fee”).

 

(d)  

by the Buyer, if:

(i)          the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements (other than its representations and warranties) contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 and (ii) cannot be cured by the End Date, provided that the Buyer shall have given the Company written notice, delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination, stating the Buyer’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) and the basis for such termination;

In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1, this Agreement shall terminate (except for the provisions of Section 8.2, Section 10.16 and ARTICLE IX), and there shall be no other liability on the part of the Company or any of its shareholders, directors, officers or agents, as the case         

 

31

Section 8.2.          Termination Fee. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Termination Fee contained in Section 8.1(c)(ii) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Buyer for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 9.1.  

Indemnification of the Buyer by the Company.

(a)          The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, all Affiliates of the Buyer and their respective members, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) and will reimburse such persons from and against and with respect to Losses resulting or arising from:

(i)          any non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company under this Agreement;

(ii)          any liabilities of the Company other than the Assumed Liabilities;

(iii)          fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by the Company; or

(iv)          Section 6.11 (Bulk Sales Law and Waiver) and any and all Losses arising out of the failure of the Company to comply with any bulk sales or transfer Law.

(b)          The indemnification obligations of the Company hereunder relate to indemnification for all Losses of a Buyer Indemnitee, regardless of whether such Loss arises from a third-party claim against such Buyer Indemnitee or otherwise.

 

Section 9.2.  

Indemnification of the Company by the Buyer.

(a)          The Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, all Affiliates of the Company and their shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Company Indemnitees”) against and with respect to any and all Losses directly or indirectly resulting or arising from:

 

32

 

 


(i)          any non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Buyer under this Agreement;

 

(ii)  

the Assumed Liabilities;

(iii)         the ownership and use of the Acquired Assets following the Closing; and

(iv)          fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach by the Buyer.

(b)          The indemnification obligations of the Buyer hereunder relate to indemnification for all Losses of a Company Indemnitee, regardless of whether such Loss arises from a third-party claim against such Company Indemnitee or otherwise.

 

Section 9.3.  

Procedure for Indemnification.

(a)          If a third-party claim is made against a Company Indemnitee or a Buyer Indemnitee (an “Indemnitee”), and if such Indemnitee believes that such claim could give rise to a right of indemnification, then such Indemnitee shall give prompt written notice to the party obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim after such Indemnitee has received notice thereof (provided that failure to give timely notice shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder except to the extent that the delay in giving, or failure to give, such notice has materially prejudiced the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend the claim). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such claim and direct such defense, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole option and expense and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, provided that an Indemnitee shall at all times also have the right to fully participate in the defense at its own expense (and may retain its own counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if it shall reasonably determine that representation of it and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would present an ethical conflict of interest; provided that the Indemnifying Party will only be responsible under such circumstances for the expenses of a single additional counsel for all Indemnitees). If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend such claim within thirty (30) days after notice thereof shall have been given by an Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of the claim on behalf, for the account, and at the risk and expense (including the payment of the reasonable attorneys’ fees of such Indemnitee regardless of whether the Indemnitee prevails against the third party claim) of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such claim, the obligation of the Indemnifying Party hereunder as to such claim shall include taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim.

(b)          The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or settle or compromise any third-party demands, claims, actions, suits or proceedings for which an Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Indemnifying Party unless it shall have given such Indemnitee not less than        

 

33

 

 


15 days prior written notice of the proposed consent, settlement or compromise, and afforded such Indemnitee an opportunity to consult with the Indemnifying Party regarding the proposed consent, settlement or compromise, and shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise without the prior written approval of such Indemnitee. An Indemnitee shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of a proposed consent, settlement or compromise. In determining whether to give its approval, an Indemnitee may consider whether the proposed consent, settlement or compromise includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to such Indemnitee of a release from all liabilities in respect of such claim except the liabilities satisfied by the Indemnifying Party.

ARTICLE X

Section 10.5.          Jurisdiction; Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

Section 10.10.          Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and letters hereto) and the Voting Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and are not intended to and shall not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 10.11.          Amendments; Waivers.
