Each share of Series A Stock and Series B Stock is convertible into 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, per share of the Issuer (“Common Stock”) without consideration being paid therefor, and has that number of votes equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which such share is then convertible.

The percentage listed in Line 13 above assumes the exercise of all Series B Warrants and all outstanding warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock.

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

IDT Capital purchased the shares of Series A Stock and Series B Warrants for investment purposes. IDT Capital used cash on hand to purchase the shares of Series A Stock and Series B Warrants.

 

UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT. On February 2, 2005 (the “Closing Date”), IDT Capital purchased 37,037 shares of Series A Stock and 18,518 Series B Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $999,999 pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2005, by and among the Issuer, IDT Capital and the other parties thereto (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”).

 

INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT. In connection with the Unit Purchase Agreement, IDT Capital, the other investors party to the Unit Purchase Agreement (together with IDT Capital, each an “Investor”) and the Issuer entered into the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2005 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the parties agreed that, for a period of five years from the Closing Date, in the event the Issuer wishes to issue additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) each Investor shall be entitled to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities proposed to be issued in proportion to the Investor’s proportionate ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

The descriptions of the Unit Purchase Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified by reference to such Unit Purchase Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 3 and 4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Each of the Reporting Persons intends to continuously review its investment in GraphOn, and may in the future determine, either alone or as part of a group (i) to acquire additional securities of GraphOn, through open market purchases, private agreements or otherwise, (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of the securities of GraphOn owned by it or (iii) to take any other available course of action, which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each of the Reporting Persons specifically reserves the right to change its intention with respect to any or all of such matters. In reaching any decision as to its course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), each of the Reporting Persons currently expects that it would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, GraphOn’s business and prospects, other developments concerning GraphOn and its businesses generally, other business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, developments with respect to the business of the Reporting Persons, changes in law and government regulations, general economic conditions and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of GraphOn.

 

6


Other than the transactions and events described above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals with respect to GraphOn or its securities that relate to, or would result in, any of the transactions described in paragraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) IDT Capital beneficially owns 37,037 shares of Series A Stock and Series B Warrants to purchase 18,518 shares of Series B Stock at an exercise price of $40.00 per share. Each share of Series A Stock and Series B Stock is convertible into 100 shares of Common Stock without consideration being paid therefor, and has that number of votes equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which such share is then convertible. Assuming the conversion of all shares of Series A Stock into shares of Common Stock, the exercise of all Series B Warrants into Shares of Series B Stock, and the conversion of all Series B Stock and all other outstanding warrants of the Issuer into shares of Common Stock, IDT Capital owns approximately 12% of the combined voting power of the Issuer. The calculation is based on an aggregate total of 46,147,047 shares of Common Stock outstanding and underlying all warrants of the Issuer, as set forth in the Schedule14A filed by the Issuer with the SEC on February 11, 2005.

 

IDT does not directly beneficially own any securities of GraphOn. IDT owns all of the outstanding shares of common stock of IDT Capital. IDT may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of all of the shares of Series A Stock and Series B Warrants owned by IDT Capital.

 

Howard S. Jonas does not directly beneficially own any securities of GraphOn. As of February 10, 2005, Mr. Jonas beneficially owned 1,826,308 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of IDT, 9,816,988 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of IDT and 6,112,096 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of IDT, representing approximately 18.1% of the outstanding shares of stock of IDT and approximately 57.9% of the combined voting power of IDT. Mr. Jonas may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of all of the shares of Series A Stock and Series B Warrants owned by IDT Capital.

 

The filing of this 13D shall not be construed as an admission by the Reporting Persons that they are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the beneficial owner of securities of GraphOn owned by other parties.

 

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims membership in a group with regard to the Common Stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act.

 

(b) By virtue of his ownership of shares of stock of IDT, representing approximately 57.9% of the combined voting power of IDT, Mr. Jonas has the power to control the election of directors to IDT’s board of directors, which may be deemed as the power to direct the vote of the shares of the Series A Stock owned by IDT Capital and the shares of the Series B Stock acquirable by IDT Capital upon exercise of the Series B Warrants.

 

(c) Except as described in this Schedule 13D, no transactions in any securities of the Issuer have been effected by the Reporting Persons, nor to the best of IDT Capital’s knowledge by the persons listed on Exhibit 1 hereto, nor to the best of IDT’s knowledge by the persons listed on Exhibit 2 hereto, during the past 60 days.

(e) Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter, excluding warranty claims received by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the

(f) To the knowledge of the Company, the Proprietary Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries constitute all the Proprietary Assets necessary to enable the Company and its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses in the manner in which such businesses have been and are being conducted.

16


fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. On or before 9:00 a.m., New York City Time, on the third business day after the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and disclosing such portions of the Griffin Agreement, the Waiver and the other Transaction Documents as contain material nonpublic information with respect to the Company that has not previously been publicly disclosed by the Company, and attaching as an exhibit to such Form 8-K a form of this Agreement. Except for information that may be provided to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Investor with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company from and after the filing of such Form 8-K without the express prior consent of such Investor.

3.1. Authorization. Such Investor (a) has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to incur the obligations herein and therein and (b) if applicable has been authorized by all necessary corporate or equivalent action to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. Each of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents is a valid and binding obligation of such Investor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and the availability of equitable remedies (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or equity).

 

3.2. Brokers and Finders. Such Investor has not retained any investment banker, broker or finder in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

 

4. Securities Laws.

 

4.1. Securities Laws Representations and Covenants of Investors.

 

(a) This Agreement is made with each Investor in reliance upon such Investor’s representation to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Securities to be received

 

17


by such Investor will be acquired for investment for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof such that such Investors would constitute an “underwriter” under the Securities Act; provided that this representation and warranty shall not limit the Investor’s right to sell the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement or in compliance with an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or the Investor’s right to indemnification under this Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement.

 

(b) Each Investor understands and acknowledges that the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act or qualified under any Blue Sky Laws, on the grounds that the offering and sale of the Securities are exempt from registration and qualification, respectively, under the Securities Act and the Blue Sky Laws.

 

(c) Each Investor covenants that, unless the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Warrants, the Exchange Warrants, the Underlying Shares or any other shares of capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing have been registered pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement being entered into among the Company and the Investors, such Investor will not dispose of such securities unless and until such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company to the effect that (i) such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act and (ii) appropriate action necessary for compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable state, local or foreign law has been taken; provided, however, that an investor may dispose of such securities without providing the opinion referred to above if the Company has been provided with adequate assurance that such disposition has been made in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule).

 

(d) Each Investor represents that: (i) such Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such Investor’s prospective investment in the Securities; (ii) such Investor has the ability to bear the economic risks of such Investor’s prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment; (iii) such Investor has been furnished with and has had access to such information as is in the Company Disclosure Letter together with the opportunity to obtain such additional information as it requested to verify the accuracy of the information supplied; and (iv) such Investor has had access to officers of the Company and an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from such officers and has had all questions that have been asked by such Investor satisfactorily answered by the Company.

 

(e) Each Investor further represents by execution of this Agreement that such Investor qualifies as an “accredited investor” as such term is

 

18


defined under Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. Any Investor that is a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, a trust or other business entity further represents by execution of this Agreement that it has not been organized for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.

 

(f) By acceptance hereof, each Investor agrees that the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Warrants, the Exchange Warrants, the Underlying Shares and any shares of capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing held by it may not be sold by such Investor without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and therefore such Investor may be required to hold such securities for an indeterminate period.

 

4.2. Legends. All certificates for the Purchased Shares, Purchased Warrants, Exchange Warrants and the Underlying Shares, and each certificate representing any shares of capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing, whether by reason of a stock split or share reclassification thereof, a stock dividend thereon or otherwise and each certificate for any such securities issued to subsequent transferees of any such certificate (unless otherwise permitted herein) shall bear the following legend:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT.”

 

5. Additional Covenants of the Company.

 

5.1. Reports, Information, Authorization of Sufficient Shares.

 

(a) The Company shall cooperate with each Investor in supplying such information as may be reasonably requested by such Investor to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the SEC as a condition to the availability of an exemption, presently existing or hereafter adopted, from the Securities Act for the sale of any of the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Warrants, the Exchange Warrants, the Underlying Shares and shares of capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing.

 

(b) For so long as an Investor (or the successor or assign of such Investor) holds either Securities or Underlying Shares, the Company shall deliver to such Investor (or the successor or assign of such Investor), contemporaneously with delivery to other holders of Common Stock, a copy of each report of the Company delivered to holders of Common Stock.

 

(c) Upon receiving the Required Stockholder Approval and at every time thereafter, the Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of

 

19


authorized but unissued shares of Series B Stock and Common Stock (or other securities into which the Series A Stock or Series B Stock are convertible or for which the Purchased Warrants and Exchange Warrants, respectively, are then exercisable) so that the Shares, the Series B Stock, the Purchased Warrants and the Exchange Warrants may be converted or exercised to purchase Series B Stock or Common Stock, as applicable (or such other securities).

 

5.2. Expenses; Indemnification.

 

(a) The Company agrees to pay on each Closing Date and hold the Investors harmless against liability for the payment of, any stamp or similar taxes (including interest and penalties, if any) that may be determined to be payable in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the issue and sale of any Securities, Series B Stock and Underlying Shares, the expense of preparing and issuing the Securities, Series B Stock and Underlying Shares, the cost of delivering the Securities, Series B Stock and Underlying Shares of each Investor to such Investor’s address, insured in accordance with customary practice, and the costs and expenses incurred in the preparation of all certificates and letters on behalf of the Company and of the Company’s performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with. Each Investor shall be responsible for its out-of-pocket expenses arising in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, except that, at the Closing, the Company shall pay fees and disbursements of counsel to the Investors as set forth in Section 6.9.

 

(b) The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Investors have been induced to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Securities hereunder, in part, based upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained herein. The Company hereby agrees to pay, indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and any director, officer, partner, member, employee or other affiliate of any Investor against all claims, losses and damages resulting from any and all legal or administrative proceedings, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith (collectively, “Loss”), resulting from a breach by the Company of any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or the failure of the Company to perform any covenant made herein; provided that the Company’s liability under this Section 5.2(b) shall be limited to the aggregate purchase price of the Securities.

 

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by an Investor of notice of any Loss in respect of which the Company may be liable under this Section 5.2, the Investor shall give notice thereof to the Company. Each Investor may, at its option, claim indemnity under this Section 5.2 as soon as a claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless of whether an actual Loss has been suffered, so long as counsel for such Investor shall in good faith determine that such claim is not frivolous and that such Investor may be liable or otherwise incur a Loss as a result thereof and shall give notice of such determination to the Company. Each Investor shall permit the Company, at the Company’s option and expense, to assume the

 

20


defense of any such claim by counsel mutually and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Investors who are subject to such claim, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; provided, however, that each Investor may at all times participate in such defense at such Investor’s expense; and provided, further, that the Company shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of each Investor subject to such claim, (i) consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to each Investor and its affiliates of a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims or (ii) consent to any settlement of such claim. If the Company does not promptly assume the defense of such claim irrespective of whether such inability is due to the inability of the afore-described Investors and the Company to mutually agree as to the choice of counsel, or if any such counsel is unable to represent one or more of the Investors due to a conflict or potential conflict of interest, then an Investor may assume such defense and be entitled to indemnification and prompt reimbursement from the Company for such Investor’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Investors as soon as practicable after submission of invoices to the Company.

 

(d) The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act for as long as is required under the Investor Rights Agreement.

 

6. Miscellaneous.

 

6.1. Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and no party shall be liable or bound to the other in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the Securities. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the parties. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

6.2. Survival of Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding any right of the Investors fully to investigate the affairs of the Company and notwithstanding any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by any Investor pursuant to such right of investigation, each Investor has the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement or in any documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement. All such representations and warranties of the Company shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing hereunder and shall continue in full force and effect for one year after the Closing. The covenants of the Company set forth in Section 5 shall remain in effect as set forth therein.

 

21


6.3. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each party hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal Court sitting in the State of New York, County of New York, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by registered mail addressed to such party at its address specified in Section 6.6 (or as otherwise noticed to the other party). Each party further waives any objection to venue in New York and any objection to an action or proceeding in such state and county on the basis of forum non conveniens. Each party also waives any right to trial by jury.

 

6.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

6.5. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience and shall not by themselves determine the interpretation of this Agreement.

3A. Demand Registration

 

(a) Request for Registration. In the event that the Company has not adopted the Certificate of Amendment on or prior to July 1, 2005, any Holder shall have the right to make a written request to the Company (such request, a “Demand Registration Request”) that the Company effect a registration with respect to all or a part of the Demand Registrable Shares held by such Holder (such Holder, an “Initiating Holder”). In response to such Demand Registration Request, the Company shall:

 

(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration (“Demand Registration”) to all other Holders (such notice, a “Demand Registration Notice”); and

 

(ii) use its best efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-3, if the Company is eligible for Form S-3, or, if not so eligible, on Form S-1 (it being understood that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 for secondary sales) (such registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 3A, a “Demand Registration Statement”) as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the Demand Registration Notice in order to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Demand

 

4


Registrable Shares as are specified in the Demand Registration Request, together with all or such portion of the Demand Registrable Shares of any Holder or Holders joining in such request (each such Holder, a “Requesting Holder”) as are specified in a written request received by the Company from such Holder or Holders within ten (10) days after the Demand Registration Notice is given by the Company. In the event any Holder requests a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3A in connection with a distribution of Demand Registrable Shares to its partners or other beneficial owners, the registration shall provide for the resale by such partners or beneficial owners, assuming such distribution was effected in accordance with applicable securities laws.

 

(b) Limitations on Demand Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3A:

 

(i) if the Company has effected three (3) Demand Registrations, provided that each of such Demand Registration Statements has been declared or ordered effective in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and provided that the Demand Registrable Shares subject to the current Demand Registration Request could have been included for registration, sale and distribution in connection with such previous two effective registrations, but were not, for reasons other than the marketing limitations connected to the underwriting of such previous Demand Registrations, as described in Section 3A(c)(iii) below;

 

(ii) if the Demand Registrable Shares included in the written registration requests of all Requesting Holders pursuant to Section 3A(a) above (including the Demand Registrable Shares of the Initiating Holder) do not have an anticipated aggregate public offering price (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least US$3,000,000;

 

(iii) for a period of time not to exceed 90 days following receipt of a Demand Registration Request if, in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, effecting such Demand Registration at the time of receipt of such Demand Registration Request would be seriously detrimental to the Company;

 

(iv) if the Demand Registration Request is received by the Company after January     , 2009; or

 

(v) if the Certificate of Amendment is filed in Delaware prior to the date which is thirty (30) days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request.

 

(c) Underwriting.

 

(i) Request Regarding Underwriting. If the Requesting Holders intend to distribute the Demand Registrable Shares covered by their Demand Registration Request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of such Demand Registration Request or their response to any Demand Registration Notice given pursuant to Section 3A(a)(i).

 

5


(ii) Participation of Other Stockholders and the Company in Underwritten Offering. The Demand Registration Statement may, subject to the provisions described herein, include securities of the Company which are held by Other Stockholders. If Other Stockholders request such inclusion, Requesting Holders with more than 50% in interest of the Demand Registrable Shares to be included in the Demand Registration Statement may in their discretion offer to include the securities of such Other Stockholders in the underwriting and may condition such offer on their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 3A. If the underwriter has not limited the number of Demand Registrable Shares to be underwritten, the Company may include its or their securities for its own account in such Demand Registration if the Underwriter Representative (as defined below) so agrees and if the number of Demand Registrable Shares will not thereby be limited.

 

(iii) Underwriting Agreement; Exclusion of Shares from Offering. All Requesting Holders whose shares are to be included in an underwriting pursuant to this Section 3A and the Company shall (together with all Other Stockholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the vote of the Holders of a majority of the Demand Registrable Shares subject to the Demand Registration Request (and reasonably acceptable to the Company) (such representative, the “Underwriter Representative”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3A, if the Underwriter Representative advises the Requesting Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the securities of the Company held by Other Stockholders and then the Company shall be excluded from such Demand Registration to the extent so required by such limitation. If, after the exclusion of such shares, further reductions are still required, the number of Demand Registrable Shares included in the registration by each Requesting Holder (other than the Initiating Holder) shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Demand Registrable Shares requested to be so registered by each such Requesting Holder) by such minimum number of shares as is necessary to comply with the requisite reduction. If, after the exclusion of such shares, further reductions are still required, the number of shares included in the registration by the Initiating Holder shall be reduced by such minimum number of shares as is necessary to comply with the requisite reduction; provided, however, that any Demand Registrable Shares proposed to be included by any Requesting Holder in a given registration that are excluded due to marketing limitations of the underwriter shall not be subject to exclusion from future Demand Registration Requests on the basis of Section 3A(i) above. No Demand Registrable Shares or any other securities excluded from an underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in the Demand Registration related to such underwriting. If any Requesting Holder, or Other Stockholder who has requested inclusion in such Demand Registration as provided above disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the underwriter and the Initiating Holder. Any securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from the Demand Registration.

 

6


(d) Expenses of Registration. Expenses related to the registration and sale of the Demand Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 3A shall be borne as provided by Section 6 hereof.

 

(e) Termination of Demand Registration Statement. At its expense, the Company will keep any Demand Registration Statement effective for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days or until the Holders (or in the case of a distribution to the partners of such Holder, such partners), as applicable, have completed the distribution described in the Demand Registration Statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs (such date on which the Demand Registration Statement need no longer be kept effective, subject to the further provisions of this Section 3A(e), the “Demand Registration Termination Date”); provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for a number of days equal to the number of days of all suspensions (as defined in Section 9(b)) occurring during such 120-day period; and (ii) in the case of any Demand Registrations on Form S-3 (which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis), such 120-day period shall be extended to the earlier of one year from the date of the Demand Registration Statement’s effectiveness or until all Demand Registrable Shares registered pursuant to such Form S-3 are sold, provided that Rule 415 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (y) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act or (z) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (y) and (z) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 12 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the Demand Registration Statement.

 

4. Obligations of the Company. In connection with the Company’s obligations (i) under Sections 3 and 3A hereof to file the Registration Statement and Demand Registration Statements, respectively, with the SEC and to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement and Demand Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing, the Company shall, as expeditiously and as reasonably as possible, subject to Section 9 hereof:

 

(a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as the case may be, and the prospectus used in connection therewith, as may be necessary, and, in the case of the Mandatory Registration or a Demand Registration, as necessary to keep the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement effective until the Mandatory Registration Termination Date or Demand Registration Termination Date, as the case may be;

 

(b) furnish to the selling Holders such reasonable number of copies of the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as the case may be, and a prospectus and preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents (including, without limitation, prospectus amendments and supplements as are prepared by the Company in accordance with Section 4(a) above) as the selling Holders may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public or other disposition of such selling Holders’ Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares;

 

7


(c) use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement under such other securities laws or blue sky (“Blue Sky”) laws of all states requiring such securities or Blue Sky registration or qualification, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

 

(d) use reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange (including without limitation any Nasdaq market) on which securities of the same class issued by the Company are then listed; and

 

(e) in the case of an underwritten Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3A(c), on the date that such Demand Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale, (i) furnish an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters, and (ii) cause the Company’s independent certified public accountants to furnish a letter, dated as of such date, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

 

5. Furnish Information. (a) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the selling Holders and Griffin shall furnish to the Company such information regarding them and the securities held by them as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in order to effect any registration by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b) The Registration Statement and, except in the case of an underwriting pursuant to Section 3A(c), any Demand Registration Statement will provide for a plan of distribution with respect to the Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares (as the case may be) substantially as follows: The Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares may be sold from time to time by the Holders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares may be sold by one or more of the following: (i) a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (ii) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to the resale registration statement; (iii) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; (iv) one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; (v) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and (vi) transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/dealer. In addition, any securities covered by the Registration Statement and any Demand Registration Statement that qualify for sale pursuant

 

8


to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement. From time to time the selling Holders may engage in short sales, short sales versus the box, puts and calls and other transactions in securities of the issuer or derivatives thereof, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection therewith. For so long as an Holder owns any Registrable Shares, such Holder shall not maintain a Net Short Position. For purposes of this Section, a “Net Short Position” by a person means a position whereby such person has executed one or more sales of Common Stock that is marked as a short sale and that is executed at a time when such Holder has no equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock. For purposes of determining whether an Holder has an equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock, all Common Stock that is beneficially owned by such Holder shall be deemed to be held long by such Holder. The Holders may also distribute the shares to their partners, members, stockholders or shareholders to the extent such distributions are effected in full compliance with applicable securities laws and provided that the distributing Holders and the distributees provide the Company with such documents and other information as reasonably requested by the Company. In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling Holders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or discounts from selling Holders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

 

6. Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation all registration and qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by the selling Holders, shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that all Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Holders of the Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares so registered and sold, pro rata on the basis of the number of their Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares (as the case may be) so registered and sold.

 

7. Indemnification.

 

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder (including the partners or officers, directors and stockholders of such Holder), and each person, if any, who controls such selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and other federal or state securities laws, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, (ii) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) arise out of any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or

 

9


state securities law; and will reimburse such selling Holder, or such officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, damage, liability or action, to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission made in connection with the Registration Statement, or Demand Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus by the selling Holders, any broker/dealer acting on their behalf or controlling person with respect to them.

 

(b) To the extent permitted by law, Griffin and each selling Holder will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as the case may be, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, or any selling Holders, and all other selling Holders against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person or such other selling Holder may become subject to, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent and only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus relating thereto or in any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the selling Holder expressly for use in connection with the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus; and such selling Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, or other selling Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the liability of each selling Holder hereunder (when aggregated with amounts contributed, if any, pursuant to Section 7(d)) shall be limited to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as the case may be, and the amount paid by such Holder to the Company for such Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares pursuant to the Unit Subscription Agreement, and

 

10


provided further, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of those selling Holder(s) against which the request for indemnity is being made (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume at its expense the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties with the consent of the indemnified party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that the indemnifying party assumes any such defense, the indemnified party may participate in such defense with its own counsel and at its own expense, provided, however, that the counsel for the indemnifying party shall act as lead counsel in all matters pertaining to such defense or settlement of such claim and the indemnifying party shall only pay for such indemnified party’s reasonable legal fees and expenses for the period prior to the date of its participation in such defense, and provided further, however, that the indemnified party (together with all indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the representation of the indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay the fees of more than one separate counsel. The failure to notify an indemnifying party of the commencement of any such action will not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7 (except to the extent that such failure materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action), nor shall the omission so to notify an indemnifying party relieve such indemnifying party of any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this Section 7. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.

 

(d) If the indemnification provided in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that shall have resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall any contribution by an Holder under this

 

11


Section 7(d), when aggregated with amounts paid, if any, pursuant to Section 7(b), exceed the Difference. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the 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.

 

(e) The obligations of the Company, Griffin and Holders under this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares in a Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement under Sections 3 and 3A, respectively, and otherwise.

 

8. Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Shares and Demand Registrable Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use reasonable efforts: (a) to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (b) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and (c) undertake any additional actions reasonably necessary to maintain the availability of the Registration Statement and Demand Registration Statement or the use of Rule 144.

 

9. Selling Procedures. Any sale of Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares pursuant to a registration statement filed in accordance with Section 3 or 3A hereof shall be subject to the following conditions and procedures:

 

(a) Updating the Prospectus.

 

(i) If the Company informs the selling Holder that the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or final prospectus then on file with the SEC is not current or otherwise does not comply with the Securities Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the selling Holder a current prospectus that complies with the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) business days after delivery of such notice.

 

(ii) If the Company requires more than three (3) business days to update the prospectus under Section 9(a)(i) above, the Company shall have the right to delay the preparation of a current prospectus that complies with the Securities Act without explanation to Griffin or such Holder, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9(b) below, for a total of not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any twelve-month period.

 

(b) General. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of (i) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information relating to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement (ii) the issuance by the SEC

or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (iv) the happening of any event which makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, it will not contain 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, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (v) that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, it is advisable to suspend use of the prospectus for a discrete period of time due to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC or that there exists material nonpublic information about the Company that the Board of Directors, acting in good faith, determines not to disclose in a registration statement, then the Company may suspend use of the prospectus (each a “Suspension”), in which case the Company shall promptly so notify each Holder and each Holder shall not dispose of Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares (as the case may be) covered by the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or prospectus until copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus are distributed to the Holders or until the Holders are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may suspend use of the prospectus pursuant to Sections 9(a)(ii), 9(b)(iv) and 9(b)(v), and an Holder may be prohibited from selling or otherwise disposing of the Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or prospectus, for no more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any such twelve-month period. The Company shall use its best efforts to ensure the use of the prospectus may be resumed as soon as practicable. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment. The Company shall, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by clause (iv), prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares being sold thereunder, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

10. Pre-emptive Rights. In the event that at any time after the date hereof until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date, the Company proposes to issue additional shares

 

13


of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, other than Excluded Stock, the Company shall send a notice (an “Additional Share Notice”) to the Holder setting forth the terms of such proposed issuance. The Holder shall be entitled to purchase the proposed number of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, proposed to be issued in proportion to the Holder’s Proportionate Percentage (as hereafter defined) on substantially the same terms set forth in the Additional Share Notice by (a) notice to the Company (the “Purchase Notice”) within 10 days of the date of the Additional Share Notice and (b) payment of the price for such shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or such other method of payment as the Company may approve, within 10 days after delivery to the Company of the Purchase Notice. The “Proportionate Percentage” of the Holder means the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate number shares of Common Stock Owned by the Holder by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding.

 

11. Issuance of Certain Securities. The Company shall not issue any (a) Convertible Securities or similar securities that contain a provision that provides for any change or determination of the applicable conversion price, conversion rate, or exercise price (or a similar provision which might have a similar effect) based on any determination of the market price or other value of the Company’s securities or any other market based or contingent standard, such as so-called “toxic” or “death spiral” convertible securities; provided, however, that this prohibition shall not include Convertible Securities or similar securities the conversion or exercise price or conversion rate of which is (i) fixed on the date of issuance, (ii) subject to adjustment as a result of or in connection with a business combination or similar transaction or (iii) subject to adjustment based upon the issuance by the Company of additional securities, including without limitation, standard anti-dilution adjustment provisions which are not based on calculations of market price or other variable valuations; and provided, further, that in no event shall this provision be deemed to prohibit the transactions contemplated in the Unit Subscription Agreement; (b) any preferred stock, debt instruments or similar securities or investment instruments providing for (i) preferences or other payments substantially in excess of the original investment by purchasers thereof or (ii) dividends, interest or similar payments other than dividends, interest or similar payments computed on an annual basis and not in excess, directly or indirectly, of the lesser of a rate equal to (A) twice the interest rate on 10 year US Treasury Notes and (B) 20%.

 

12. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment shall have been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the Holders shall also be for the benefit of and enforceable by any subsequent holder of any Registrable Shares who has executed a copy of this Agreement or otherwise indicated its agreement to be bound hereby. Without limitation on the Holders’ rights to transfer Registrable Shares, the Company acknowledges that any Holder may, at any time, transfer any of the Registrable Shares which they may own, beneficially or of record, to (a) their affiliates or (b) their partner(s), investor(s), security holder(s) or beneficial holder(s) pursuant to their organization documents or other agreements, and that, upon the consummation of any such transfer, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each transferee of such Registrable Shares.

 

14


13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits hereto), the Unit Subscription Agreement and the Purchased Warrants constitute and contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and such agreements also supersede any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Each party further waives any objection to venue in New York and any objection to an action or proceeding in such state and county on the basis of forum non conveniens. Each party also waives any right to trial by jury.

 

(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns. This Agreement shall also be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any transferee of any of the Registrable Shares or Demand Registrable Shares.
