Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 17, 2004, Orion Acquisition Corp. II (“Orion”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Orion, Medivation Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Orion (“Merger Sub”), and Medivation, Inc. (“Medivation”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Medivation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the issued and outstanding capital stock of Medivation is to be converted into shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Orion. The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Report.

 

On December 17, 2004, Orion entered into Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with several accredited investors providing for the purchase and sale of shares of its Common Stock at a price of $1.55 per share. In connection with the Purchase Agreements, Orion entered into Registration Rights Agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”) providing for the registration for resale of the shares sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, as well as certain other shares of common stock of Orion. Reference is made to the disclosure under Item 3.02, below. Forms of the Purchase Agreements are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated by reference into this Report. Forms of the Registration Rights Agreements are attached as Exhibits 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 and are incorporated by reference into this Report.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, Purchase Agreements and Registration Rights Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and forms of Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, which are filed as exhibits to this report.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On December 17, 2004, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 17, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Orion Acquisition Corp. II (“Orion”), Medivation Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Orion (“Merger Sub”), and Medivation, Inc. (“Medivation”), Merger Sub merged with and into Medivation, with Medivation surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orion (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Medivation common stock represents the right to receive .122935 shares of Orion Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On December 17, 2004, Orion Acquisition Corp. II (“Orion”) issued and sold 7,741,935 shares of its Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a price of $1.55 per Share (the “Offering”). 6,943,722 Shares were sold for cash, generating gross proceeds to Orion of $10,762,769. The remaining 798,213 Shares were sold upon cancellation of outstanding promissory notes of Medivation, Inc., in the aggregate principal balance, plus accrued interest, of $1,237,230, which were assumed by Orion in connection with the merger of Medivation with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orion (the “Merger”). See disclosure related to the Merger pursuant to Item 2.01, above. The Shares were privately offered and sold to accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and the sale of the Shares was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

MDB Capital Group LLC (“MDB”) served as placement agent for Orion in the Offering. As compensation for its services, MDB received 572,878 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 572,878 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.55 per share. This compensation was negotiated on an arm’s length basis between MDB and Medivation. Until December 17, 2004, principals of MDB constituted all the officers and directors of Orion. Two of the three members of Orion’s Board of Directors are principals of MDB. Before giving effect to the Merger and the Offering, as of December 17, 2004, MDB and its principals collectively owned approximately 24% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Orion.

 

Brock Capital Group LLC (“Brock”) served as placement agent for Medivation with respect to certain investors who participated in the Offering. As compensation for its placement agent services, Brock received 52,821 shares of Common Stock of Orion.

 

In connection with the Merger and the Offering, Orion, the former stockholders of Medivation, the investors in the Offering and MDB Capital Group LLC have entered into registration rights agreements,


pursuant to which Orion has agreed to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission for re-offer and re-sale (a) the 6,638,490 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock received by the former stockholders of Medivation in the Merger, (b) the 7,741,935 shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering, and (c) the 572,878 shares of Common Stock issued to MDB Capital Group LLC, and the 572,878 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant issued to MDB Capital Group LLC, for placement agent services rendered in connection with the Offering.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement: (a) David T. Hung, M.D., the President and Chief Executive Officer of Medivation, has been elected to Orion’s Board of Directors and appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Orion; (b) C. Patrick Machado, the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Medivation, has been appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Orion; (c) Christopher A. Marlett has resigned from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of Orion, but remains a member of Orion’s Board of Directors; (d) Anthony DiGiandomenico has resigned from his position as Chief Financial Officer of Orion, but remains a member of Orion’s Board of Directors; and (e) Dyana Marlett has resigned from the Board of Directors of Orion. Each of these elections, appointments and resignations was effective December 17, 2004.

 

Dr. Hung has served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Medivation since its inception in 2003. From 1998 until 2001, Dr. Hung was employed by ProDuct Health, Inc. (“PDH”), a privately-held medical device company, as Chief Scientific Officer (1998-1999) and as President and Chief Executive Officer (1999-2001). In 2001, PDH was acquired by Cytyc Corporation (“Cytyc”). Dr. Hung served as a consultant to Cytyc from 2001 until 2002 to assist with transitional matters related to Cytyc’s acquisition of PDH. Dr. Hung received an M.D. from the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, and an undergraduate degree from Harvard College.

 

Mr. Machado has served as the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Medivation since its inception in 2003. From 1998 until 2001, Mr. Machado was employed by PDH as Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel (1998-2000) and as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (2000-2001). From 2001 until 2002, Mr. Machado served as a consultant to Cytyc to assist with transitional matters related to Cytyc’s acquisition of PDH. Mr. Machado received a J.D. from Harvard Law School and two undergraduate degrees from Santa Clara University.

 

On November 16, 2004, Dr. Hung entered into an agreement with Medivation pursuant to which he guaranteed the payment by Medivation of professional fees incurred in connection with the Merger and the Offering, up to a cap of $78,000. In return for this guarantee, Medivation issued warrants to Dr. Hung which were assumed by Orion in the Merger and which entitle him to purchase 10,065 shares of Orion’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.55 per share. This warrant expires on November 16, 2014. To date, no amounts have been drawn on this guarantee.

 

Dr. Hung owns 86,055 shares of Orion’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 1,721,090 shares of Orion Common Stock. Mr. Machado owns 24,587 shares of Orion’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 491,740 shares of Orion’s Common Stock. In addition, Mr. Machado owns a warrant to purchase 2,839 shares of Orion’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.55 per share.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation.

 

On December 15, 2004, Orion Acquisition Corp. II (“Orion”) amended and restated the Certificate of Designations of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The amendment (a) changed from 10-1 to 20-1 the ratio at which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock and (b) provides that, until the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock, (i) all


actions submitted for approval by stockholders of Orion will require approval of holders of a majority of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a separate series, and (ii) all actions taken by the Board of Directors of Orion require the approval of the director nominated by the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will convert automatically into Common Stock upon receipt of stockholder approval to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock of Orion to at least 25,000,000. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of Orion’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1 and is incorporated into this Report.

PLAN OF MERGER

 

  2.1 Conversion.

 

  (a) Conversion of Target Common Stock.

 

At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Target (the “Target Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Target Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(e)) shall be converted, subject to Section 2.1(h), into the right to receive .122935 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), of Orion (the “Conversion Rate”). All such converted shares of Target Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously representing any such converted shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive a certificate representing that number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into which such shares of Target Common Stock were converted in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement.

 

  (b) Conversion of Target Warrants.

 

At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase shares of capital stock of Target at the Effective Time (the “Target Warrants”), by virtue of the terms thereof and the Merger and without further action, shall be assumed by Orion and modified so that, in lieu of having the right to acquire

 

2


such shares of capital stock of Target on exercise of the applicable Target Warrant, the holders thereof shall have the right to acquire that number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Orion (the “Orion Common Stock”) equal to that number of shares of Target Common Stock as have been set forth in the applicable Target Warrant, in each case at an exercise price of $1.55 per share of Orion Common Stock.

 

  (c) Conversion of Target Options.

 

At the Effective Time, all unexercised and unexpired options to purchase shares of Target Common Stock then outstanding under any stock option plan of Target at the Effective Time, including the 2004 Equity Incentive Awards Plan or any other plan, agreement or arrangement (the “Target Stock Option Plans”), whether or not then exercisable (the “Target Options”), shall be assumed by Orion. Each Target Option so assumed by Orion under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Target Stock Option Plan and any agreements thereunder immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the vesting schedule (without acceleration thereof by virtue of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby)), except that (i) each Target Option shall be exercisable (or shall become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Orion Common Stock equal to (A) twenty (20) times the number of shares of Target Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Target Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Rate, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Target Common Stock; and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Orion Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such assumed Target Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing (X) the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Target Common Stock at which such Target Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Rate by (Y) twenty (20), rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The conversion of any Target Options which are “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code into options to purchase Orion Common Stock shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code so as not to constitute a “modification” of such Target Options within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code. Continuous employment with Target or its subsidiaries shall be credited to the optionee for purposes of determining the vesting of all assumed Target Options after the Effective Time.

 

  (d) Schedule of Target Warrants and Options.

 

Attached hereto as SCHEDULE 2.1(d) is the list of Target Warrants and Target Options, the respective holders thereof and the numbers and classes of Target Common Stock and Orion Common Stock for which they may now, and after the Merger be, exercised and the price per share of Orion Common Stock payable upon such exercise.

Each share of Target Common Stock held by Orion or the Merger Sub, or in the treasury of either, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect to either, as applicable.

 

  (f) Merger Sub.

 

Each share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and be exchanged for one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Common Stock”).

  (g) Equitable Adjustments.

 

If during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of any of the Series B Preferred Stock, Orion Common Stock or Target Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, then the Conversion Rate shall be correspondingly and equitably adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares.

 

  (h) Fractional Shares.

 

No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates, and no dividend or distribution with respect to Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a stockholder of Orion.

 

  2.2 Reservation of Shares for Target Warrants and Target Options.

 

Orion shall retain and reserve that number of authorized but unissued shares of Orion Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the exercise of the Target Warrants and the Target Options at any given time until their respective exercise, conversion or termination, as applicable.

 

  2.3 Dissenting Shareholders.

 

Any holder of shares of Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which dissenters’ rights, if any, are available by reason of the Merger pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code (the “CCC”) who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who complies with Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC (the “Target Dissenting Shares”) shall not be entitled to receive any Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this ARTICLE II, unless such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses its dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or the CCC. Such holder shall be entitled to receive only such rights as are granted under Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC, as applicable. If any such holder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or the CCC, as applicable, such Target Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive that number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to which such shares of Target securities are entitled pursuant to this ARTICLE II, in each case without interest. Prior to the Effective Time, the Target shall give Orion prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC, as applicable, received by the Target, withdrawals of any such written demands and any other documents or instruments received by the Target in connection therewith. Orion shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Target shall not, except with the prior written consent of Orion, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Any payments made with respect to Target Dissenting Shares shall be made solely by the Surviving Corporation, and no funds or other property shall be provided by Target, Orion or Merger Sub for such payment.

Upon the surrender by Participating Stockholders of each certificate representing shares of Target Common Stock, and upon the issuance and delivery by Orion of certificates representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the certificates which prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Target Common Stock shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered and exchanged, each such certificate representing shares of Target Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only a right to receive shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and the holders of such certificates after the Effective Time shall no longer be deemed for any purpose to be holders of shares of Target Common Stock.

 

(b) Participating Stockholders shall, for all purposes (except for the payment of possible dividends or other distributions by Orion which shall be withheld until the exchange of certificates pursuant to Section 2.4(a) hereof), be deemed to be stockholders of Orion, as of the Effective Time, irrespective of whether they have received their certificates or agreements representing shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Each of the Orion Parties is qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the nature of their respective properties owned, leased or operated by them, and the business transacted by them, requires such qualification or licensing, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an Orion Material Adverse Effect. True, correct and complete copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of each of the Orion Parties, each as

 

15


amended or restated as of the date hereof, have been, or prior to the Closing Date shall have been, delivered to Target. All minutes of meetings (or written consents in lieu of meetings) of the Board of Directors (and all committees thereof) of each of the Orion Parties, and all minutes of meetings (or written consents in lieu of meetings) of the stockholders of each of the Orion Parties, in each case having occurred since January 1, 2000, have been, or prior to the Closing Date will have been, delivered to Target.

Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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 of such claim or litigation.

 

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the

indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

  (1) sell or offer or contract to sell or offer, grant any option or warrant for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of ( all being referred to as a “Transfer”) any legal or beneficial interest in any Restricted Shares. “Restricted Shares” shall mean (a) the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, of the Corporation to be received by the undersigned in the Merger in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of Medivation Common Stock, $.001 par value, held by the undersigned immediately prior to consummation of the Merger (the “Restricted Series B Shares”), (b) the shares of the Common Stock, $.01 per share, of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of the Restricted Series B Shares (the “Restricted Common Shares”), and (c) any other securities of the Corporation that may become issuable with respect to any of the Restricted Series B Shares and/or the Restricted Common Shares, by way of stock split, stock dividend or otherwise; or

 

  (2) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any of the Restricted Shares, whether such swap transaction is to be settled by delivery of any Restricted Shares or other securities of any person, in cash or otherwise,

 

for the period commencing the date of the consummation of the Merger and ending on the later of (i) first anniversary of the consummation of the Merger, or (ii) the closing of the database for the Corporation’s (including though its subsidiary) planned Phase II randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled study of Dimebon in Alzheimer’s disease patients in Russia, which is expected to occur in the first half of 2006, but, notwithstanding the foregoing time periods, the lock-up period will not exceed two years after the consummation of the Merger.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, this lock-up agreement will not prevent any Transfer of any or all of the Restricted Shares, [i] either during the undersigned’s lifetime or on the undersigned’s death, by gift, will or intestate succession, to the undersigned’s “family member” or to trusts, family limited partnerships and similar entities for the benefit of the undersigned or the undersigned’s “family members”; or if the undersigned is an entity, to the stockholders, members or other owners of such entity, provided, however, that in each and any such event it shall be a condition to the Transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Shares subject to the provision of this lock-up agreement, and other than to return the Restricted Shares to the former ownership, there shall be no further Transfer of the Restricted Shares except in accordance with this lock-up agreement, or [ii] upon the approval by unanimous written consent of the then board of directors of the Corporation. For purposes of this sub-paragraph, “family member” shall mean spouse, lineal descendants, stepchildren, father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor or of the transferor’s spouse.

ORION ACQUISITION CORP. II

 

Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law

of the State of Delaware

 

Orion Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), hereby certifies that, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Company by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and in accordance with the provisions of Sections 103 and 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors has duly adopted the following resolutions.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (which authorizes 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”)), the Board of Directors fixed the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and

 

WHEREAS, no shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have been issued,

 

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of the Company and the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate of Designations filed with the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware on [                    ], 2004 creating a class of authorized Preferred Stock of the Company designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting powers, preferences and other rights of the shares of such class, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof as amended and restated, are as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on the following terms and with the provisions herein set forth

 

(1). Designation and Number of Shares. Of the 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized pursuant to the Fourth Article of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, 450,000 shares are hereby designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

 

(2). Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of other Series of Preferred Stock that are in existence or may, from time to time, come into existence, the assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed among the holders of the Series B

 

-1-


Preferred Stock and among common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”) on the basis of each share of Series B Preferred Stock receiving an amount of cash or other distributable property that is the Conversion Rate (as hereinafter defined) times the amount payable or distributable for each share of Common Stock.

 

(3). Redemption. The Series B Preferred Stock does not have any redemption rights.

 

(4). Dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dividends unless the Company pays cash dividends or dividends in other property to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, in which event, each outstanding share of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends of cash or property equivalent to that paid in respect of one share of Common Stock times the Conversion Rate (as hereinafter defined). Any dividend payable to the Series B Preferred Stock will have the same record and payment date and terms as the dividend is payable on the Common Stock.

 

(5). Mandatory Conversion.

 

(a). Conversion. In the event that the Company increases the number of shares of authorized Common Stock to be equal to or in excess of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, then upon the filing and acceptance of any change in the Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the increase in capital, whether by amendment or restatement, all the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will immediately and automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock without any notice required on the part of the Company or the holder (“Mandatory Conversion”). In such event, holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive Common Stock at the conversion rate of twenty (20) shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock for one (1) share of Series B Preferred Stock (“Conversion Rate”).

 

(b). Obligation. The Company agrees that it shall in good faith take and any all such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock to not less than 25,000,000 and to expeditiously effect the conversion of (i) all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to shares of Common Stock and (ii) permit the exercise of all options, warrants or rights to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of their defining instruments, including, without limiting use its good faith best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to achieve the foregoing.

 

(c). Conversion Procedure. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to issue or cause its transfer agent to issue the Common Stock issuable upon a Mandatory Conversion within three (3) business days after the Mandatory Conversion. The Company shall bear the cost associated with the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion. The Common Stock and other securities issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion shall be issued with a restrictive legend indicating that it was issued in a transaction which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that it cannot be transferred unless it is so registered, or an exemption from registration is available, in the opinion of counsel to the Company. The Common Stock issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion shall be issued in the same name as the person who is the holder of the Series B

 

-2-


Preferred Stock unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such transfer can be made in compliance with applicable securities laws. The person in whose name the certificates of Common Stock are so recorded and other securities issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion shall be treated as a common stockholder of the Company at the close of business on the date of the Mandatory Conversion. The certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock shall be cancelled, on the date of the Mandatory Conversion.

 

(6). Adjustments to Conversion Rate and Reorganization. The Conversion Rate for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted on a Mandatory Conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

 

(a) Stock Dividends - Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups. If, prior to the date of Mandatory Conversion, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up, recapitalization or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the Mandatory Conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(b) Aggregation of Shares. If prior to the date of Mandatory Conversion, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the Mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

 

(c) Change Resulting from Reorganization or Change in Par Value, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock which solely affects the par value of the shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter (until the Mandatory Conversion or its equivalent) to receive upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or other transfer, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock, then such adjustment also shall be made.

 

(d) Successive Changes. The provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

 

-3-


(7). Voting Rights. The holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the following voting rights:

 

(a) Those voting rights required by applicable law but excluding the right to vote as a separate class (except as provided in Section (12)); and

 

(b) The right to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock upon all matters submitted to such holders for a vote, the vote of each share of Series B Preferred Stock to be equal to the then Conversion Rate.

 

Notwithstanding Section (7)(b), so long as the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall have the right to elect one member of the Board of Directors of the Company, which director shall be subject to removal only upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock. The above voting rights are also subject to the Protective Rights contained in Section (12) hereof.

 

(8). No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this section and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock against impairment.

 

(9). No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

 

(10). Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

 

(11). Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Certificate of Designations to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Company.

 

(12). Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class:

 

(a) create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares having rights, preferences or privileges equal or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

-4-


(b) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

(c) amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

(d) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock of the Company;

 

(e) liquidate or wind-up the Company;

 

(f) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set funds aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any share or shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment, or through the exercise of any right of first refusal; or

 

(g) take any other action which is required to be taken only with the consent or approval of the holders of the Company’s capital stock, whether pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

(13). Approval of the Board of Directors. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not take any action which is required to be taken only with the consent or approval of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors without the consent or approval of the Series B Director.

 

(14). Return of Status as Authorized Shares. Upon a Mandatory Conversion or any other redemption or extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock, the shares converted, redeemed or extinguished will be automatically returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock, available for future designation and issuance pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the statements contained in the foregoing resolutions creating and designating the said Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and fixing the number, powers, preferences and relative, optional, participating, and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics thereof shall, upon the effective date of said series, be deemed to be included in and be a part of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Sections 104 and 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on this [    ] day of December, 2004.

Any dividend payable to the Series B Preferred Stock will have the same record and payment date and terms as the dividend is payable on the Common Stock.

 

(5). Mandatory Conversion.

 

(a). Conversion. In the event that the Company increases the number of shares of authorized Common Stock to be equal to or in excess of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, then upon the filing and acceptance of any change in the Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the increase in capital, whether by amendment or restatement, all the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will immediately and automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock without any notice required on the part of the Company or the holder (“Mandatory Conversion”).

(6). Adjustments to Conversion Rate and Reorganization. The Conversion Rate for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted on a Mandatory Conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

 

(a) Stock Dividends - Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups. If, prior to the date of Mandatory Conversion, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or by a split-up, recapitalization or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the Mandatory Conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(b) Aggregation of Shares. If prior to the date of Mandatory Conversion, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on the Mandatory conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

 

(c) Change Resulting from Reorganization or Change in Par Value, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock which solely affects the par value of the shares of Common Stock, or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter (until the Mandatory Conversion or its equivalent) to receive upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or other transfer, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock, then such adjustment also shall be made.

 

(d) Successive Changes. The provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers.

 

(7). Voting Rights. The holders of record of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the following voting rights:

 

(a) Those voting rights required by applicable law but excluding the right to vote as a separate class (except as provided in Section (12)); and

 

-3-


(b) The right to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock upon all matters submitted to such holders for a vote, the vote of each share of Series B Preferred Stock to be equal to the then Conversion Rate.

 

Notwithstanding Section (7)(b), so long as the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall have the right to elect one member of the Board of Directors of the Company, which director shall be subject to removal only upon the vote of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock. The above voting rights are also subject to the Protective Rights contained in Section (12) hereof.

 

(8). No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this section and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock against impairment.

 

(9). No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

 

(10). Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or any other right, the Company shall mail to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

 

(11). Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Certificate of Designations to be given to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the Company.

 

(12). Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class:

 

(a) create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares having rights, preferences or privileges equal or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

-4-


(b) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

(c) amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in a manner that materially adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

(d) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock of the Company;

 

(e) liquidate or wind-up the Company;

 

(f) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set funds aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any share or shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment, or through the exercise of any right of first refusal; or

 

(g) take any other action which is required to be taken only with the consent or approval of the holders of the Company’s capital stock, whether pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

(13). Approval of the Board of Directors. So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not take any action which is required to be taken only with the consent or approval of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors without the consent or approval of the Series B Director.

 

(14). Return of Status as Authorized Shares. Upon a Mandatory Conversion or any other redemption or extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock, the shares converted, redeemed or extinguished will be automatically returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock, available for future designation and issuance pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the statements contained in the foregoing resolutions creating and designating the said Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and fixing the number, powers, preferences and relative, optional, participating, and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics thereof shall, upon the effective date of said series, be deemed to be included in and be a part of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Sections 104 and 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

4.20 Brokers and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company, any Subsidiary, Medivation or an Investor for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company, other than as described in the Private Placement Memorandum or on Schedule 4.20.

4.26 Internal Controls. The Company is in material compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 currently applicable to the Company. The Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 1934 Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including the Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed period report under the 1934 Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the 1934 Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the 1934 Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K) or, to the Company’s Knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the 1934 Act.

-12-

The Merger Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally.

Prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement, (ii) the Effective Date or (iii) the Effectiveness Deadline, such Investor shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in a Prohibited Transaction. Such Investor acknowledges that the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 5.11 are being made for the benefit of the Investors as well as the Company and that each of the other Investors shall have an independent right to assert any claims against such Investor arising out of any breach or violation of the provisions of this Section 5.11.

8.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person (the Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment.

9.7 Publicity. Except as set forth below, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by the Company or the Investors without the prior consent of the Company (in the case of a release or announcement by the Investors) or the Investors (in the case of a release or announcement by the Company) (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by law or the applicable rules or regulations of any securities exchange or securities market, in which case the Company or the Investors, as the case may be, shall allow the Investors or the Company, as applicable, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. By 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the trading day immediately following the Closing Date, the Company shall issue a press release disclosing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provision hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

 

9.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and the Disclosure Schedules, and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

9.11 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

9.12 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.

This Registration Rights Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 17th day of December, 2004 by and among Orion Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the “Investors” named in that certain Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and the Investors (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

The parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Certain Definitions.

 

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person.

 

Business Day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in New York City are open for the general transaction of business.

Investors” shall mean the Investors identified in the Purchase Agreement and any Affiliate or permitted transferee of any Investor who is a subsequent holder of any Registrable Securities.

 

Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented by any prospectus supplement, with respect to the terms of the offering of any portion of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and by all other amendments and supplements to the prospectus, including post-effective amendments and all material incorporated by reference in such prospectus.

Registrable Securities” shall mean the Shares and any other securities issued or issuable with respect to or in exchange for Registrable Securities; provided, that, a security shall cease to be a Registrable Security upon (A) sale pursuant to a Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (B) such security becoming eligible for sale by the Investors pursuant to Rule 144(k).

 

Registration Statement” shall mean any registration statement of the Company filed under the 1933 Act that covers the resale of any of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement, including post-effective amendments, all exhibits and all material incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement.

2. Registration.

 

(a) Registration Statements.

 

(i) Promptly following the closing of the purchase and sale of the securities contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”) but no later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (or, if Form SB-2 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities, subject to the Required Investors’ consent), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each person who now has piggyback registration rights a waiver of those rights with respect to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Investors and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been filed for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ sole monetary remedy for such events but shall not limit the Investors’ right to seek specific performance of the provisions hereof. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash.

 

(ii) Promptly following the date (the “Qualification Date”) upon which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities or Additional Shares, as applicable, for resale, but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Qualification Date (the “Qualification Deadline”), the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to the registration statement on Form SB-2) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter. If a Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Qualification Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, so

 

-2-


long as all of the Investors’ Shares have not been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement prior to such date, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Shelf Registration Statement should have been filed for which no such Shelf Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ sole monetary remedy for such events but shall not limit the Investors’ right to seek specific performance of the provisions hereof. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. In the event that all of the Investors’ Shares have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, the liquidated damages provision in this Section 2(a)(ii) shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that no such sale shall affect the right of the Investors to receive liquidated damages accruing prior to such sale.

 

(b) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, fees and expenses of one counsel to the Investors not to exceed an aggregate of $35,000 and the Investors’ reasonable expenses in connection with the registration, but excluding stock transfer taxes, discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.

 

(c) Effectiveness.

 

(i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall notify the Investors by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall promptly (but in any event within two Business Days of such effective date) provide the Investors with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. If (A)(x) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (1) 105 days after the Closing Date or (2) March 31, 2005 or (y) a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after the Qualification Deadline or (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for a period in excess of the Allowed Delay (as defined below), then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, so long as all of the Investors’ Shares have not been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement prior to such date, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective (the “Blackout Period”). Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ sole monetary remedy for such events but shall not limit the Investors’ right to seek specific performance of the provisions hereof. The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid monthly within three (3) Business Days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination of the Blackout Period. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. In the event that all of the Investors’ Shares have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, the liquidated damages provision in this Section 2(c) shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however,

 

-3-


that no such sale shall affect the right of the Investors to receive liquidated damages accruing prior to such sale.

 

(ii) In the event (A) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (B) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (C) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (D) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission 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 any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then for not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, by suspending the use of any Prospectus included in any registration contemplated by this Section containing such information, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company disclose to such Investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding) any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

 

3. Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the Investors in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;

 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the period specified in Section 3(a) and to comply with the

 

-4-


provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;

 

(c) provide copies to and permit counsel designated by the Investors to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects provide, that such objection is based on counsel’s belief that the Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement contains a material misstatement or omission;

 

(d) furnish to the Investors and their legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor that are covered by the related Registration Statement;

 

(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

 

(f) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 

(g) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

-5-


(h) immediately notify the Investors, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such holder, promptly prepare and furnish to such holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary 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 light of the circumstances then existing; and

 

(i) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter).

 

(j) With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to each Investor upon request, as long as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB or Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

 

4. Due Diligence Review; Information. The Company shall make available, during normal business hours, for inspection and review by the Investors, advisors to and representatives of the Investors (who may or may not be affiliated with the Investors and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), all financial and other records, all SEC Filings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers and directors, within a reasonable time period, to

supply all such information reasonably requested by the Investors or any such representative, advisor or underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investors and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement.

 

The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review.

 

The right of any Investor to obtain information from the Company pursuant to this Section 4 shall be expressly conditioned upon such Investor entering into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

 

5. Obligations of the Investors.

 

(a) Each Investor shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. An Investor shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.

 

(b) Each Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

 

(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus filed with the SEC and until any related post-effective amendment is declared effective and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Investor’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

6. Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a Blue Sky Application); (iii) 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; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such 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 Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, 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).

 

(b) Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission)

 

-8-


received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the affected Investor(s) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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 of such claim or litigation.

 

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

Exhibit A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

 

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

  privately negotiated transactions;

 

  short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

  a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this

 


prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.

 

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

 

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or

 

-15-


qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

 

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.

2. Registration.

 

(a) Registration Statements.

 

(i) Promptly following the closing of the purchase and sale of the securities contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”) but no later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (or, if Form SB-2 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities, subject to the Required Investors’ consent), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution attached hereto as Exhibit A. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each person who now has piggyback registration rights a waiver of those rights with respect to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Investors and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been filed for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ sole monetary remedy for such events but shall not limit the Investors’ right to seek specific performance of the provisions hereof. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash.

 

(ii) Promptly following the date (the “Qualification Date”) upon which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities or Additional Shares, as applicable, for resale, but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Qualification Date (the “Qualification Deadline”), the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to the registration statement on Form SB-2) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter. If a Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Qualification Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, so

 

-2-


long as such Investors’ Shares have not been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement prior to such date, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Shelf Registration Statement should have been filed for which no such Shelf Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ sole monetary remedy for such events but shall not limit the Investors’ right to seek specific performance of the provisions hereof. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. In the event that all of any particular Investor’s Shares have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, the liquidated damages provision in this Section 2(a)(ii) shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such Investor; provided, however, that no such sale shall affect the right of the Investors to receive liquidated damages accruing prior to such sale.

 

(b) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, fees and expenses of one counsel to the Investors not to exceed an aggregate of $35,000 and the Investors’ reasonable expenses in connection with the registration, but excluding stock transfer taxes, discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.

 

(c) Effectiveness.

 

(i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall notify the Investors by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall promptly (but in any event within two Business Days of such effective date) provide the Investors with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. If (A)(x) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (1) 105 days after the Closing Date or (2) March 31, 2005 or (y) a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after the Qualification Deadline or (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for a period in excess of the Allowed Delay (as defined below), then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, so long as all of such Investor’s Shares have not been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement prior to such date, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.5% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective (the “Blackout Period”). Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ sole monetary remedy for such events but shall not limit the Investors’ right to seek specific performance of the provisions hereof. The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid monthly within three (3) Business Days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination of the Blackout Period. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. In the event that all of any particular Investor’s Shares have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, the

 

-3-


liquidated damages provision in this Section 2(c) shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such Investor; provided, however, that no such sale shall affect the right of the Investors to receive liquidated damages accruing prior to such sale.

 

(ii) In the event (A) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (B) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (C) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (D) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission 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 any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; then for not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, by suspending the use of any Prospectus included in any registration contemplated by this Section containing such information, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company disclose to such Investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding) any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

 

3. Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the Investors in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;

 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the period specified in Section 3(a) and to comply with the

(c) provide copies to and permit counsel designated by the Investors to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects provide, that such objection is based on counsel’s belief that the Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement contains a material misstatement or omission;

 

(d) furnish to the Investors and their legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor that are covered by the related Registration Statement;

 

(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

 

(f) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 

(g) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

-5-


(h) immediately notify the Investors, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such holder, promptly prepare and furnish to such holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary 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 light of the circumstances then existing; and

 

(i) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter).

 

(j) With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to each Investor upon request, as long as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB or Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

 

4. Due Diligence Review; Information. The Company shall make available, during normal business hours, for inspection and review by the Investors, advisors to and representatives of the Investors (who may or may not be affiliated with the Investors and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), all financial and other records, all SEC Filings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers and directors, within a reasonable time period, to

 

-6-


supply all such information reasonably requested by the Investors or any such representative, advisor or underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investors and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement.

 

The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review.

 

The right of any Investor to obtain information from the Company pursuant to this Section 4 shall be expressly conditioned upon such Investor entering into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

 

5. Obligations of the Investors.

 

(a) Each Investor shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. An Investor shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.

 

(b) Each Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

 

(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus filed with the SEC and until any related post-effective amendment is declared effective and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Investor’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

6. Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a Blue Sky Application); (iii) 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; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such 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 Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, 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).

 

(b) Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission)

 

-8-


received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the affected Investor(s) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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 of such claim or litigation.

 

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

Exhibit A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

 

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

  privately negotiated transactions;

 

  short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

  a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this

 


prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.

 

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

 

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or

 

-15-


qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

 

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.

FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

         


Registrable Securities included in any such Registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on a Holder’s behalf and will reimburse such Holder, and each such officer, director or member and each such 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 Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Holder or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, 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).

 

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Holder Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the affected Holder(s) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of

 

     -8-     

FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

         


interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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 of such claim or litigation.

 

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

Orion announces merger with Medivation and a $12 million financing.

 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, December 20, 2004 (PR Newswire) — Medivation, Inc. and Orion Acquisition Corp. II (MTMR-OTCBB) today announced that they have closed a merger and completed a common stock financing for approximately $12 million.

 

As a result of the merger, David T. Hung, MD, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Medivation, has succeeded Christopher A. Marlett as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Orion. At the next stockholders meeting the name of the company will be changed to Medivation. Further details of the merger are included in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

 

Mr. Christopher A. Marlett, Chairman of Orion Acquisition Corp. II, and Managing Principal of MDB Capital Group, commented on the merger by saying: “We believe that the Medivation technology, management, advisors and business strategy represent the type of strong combination of elements necessary to build a successful life sciences company. Furthermore, Medivation’s lead compound Dimebon represents the kind of drug that we look to commit capital to, in that it is targeted at a very large market (Alzheimer’s disease), has a long history of human use for a different indication, and has shown promising results in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease and in an early human study in Alzheimer’s disease patients.”

 

David T. Hung M.D., President and CEO of Orion, commented: “We are very enthusiastic about becoming a public company and having the requisite capital to implement our business plan. This capital should allow Medivation to complete a Phase II clinical trial in Alzheimer’s disease patients with our lead product Dimebon, initiate IND-enabling preclinical development of our second small molecule, NT0904, and identify and evaluate other promising medical technologies.”


Medivation, Inc.

 

Medivation’s business strategy is to identify and acquire promising medical technologies with strong intellectual property positions that are targeted at large unmet markets, and to develop those technologies in a largely outsourced, virtual company model through achievement of valuation-enhancing milestone events. Medivation’s initial two technologies are small molecule drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Medivation has two separate families of potential anti-AD compounds. The lead product candidate, Dimebon, is scheduled to enter a Phase II study in the first half of 2005.
