SECTION 1 – REGISTRANTS BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.01      Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

           (A)  

     In connection with the closing of our acquisition of Helio Solutions, Inc., a California corporation (“Helio”), on August 17, 2007, as discussed in Item 2.01 below, we entered into several material agreements. The material agreements include a merger agreement, a stock purchase agreement, a convertible note, registration rights agreements, a warrant, a lock-up and voting agreement and various employment agreements. The descriptions of such agreements contained in Item 2.01 below are incorporated herein by reference.

 
  (B)

     On August 17, 2007, we issued and sold a $12 million promissory note (the “Term Note”), together with a common stock purchase warrant (the “Common Stock Purchase Warrant”) to purchase 3,750,000 of our common stock (collectively, the documents are referred to as the “Term Loan Facility”), to Calliope Capital Corporation (“Calliope”), an affiliate of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 31, 2007, between our company and Calliope (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Although we executed the agreement on July 31, 2007, the closing of the financing was conditioned upon the closing of our acquisition of Helio, among other conditions. In connection with the Term Loan Facility, we also entered into a master security agreement, a subsidiary guarantee agreement, a registration rights agreement and a stock pledge agreement. In connection with the Term Loan Facility, we paid to Laurus Capital Management, LLC a non-refundable fee of $415,000.

 
   

     On August 16, 2007, we borrowed a total of $6.95 million of the $12 million available to us. Of the $6.95 million drawn, $5.6MM was used to finance the Helio Solutions, Inc. acquisition, $415,000 was used to pay Laurus fees, and $932,000 was used to refinance our existing obligation to Laurus on a secured convertible term note which was convertible at $1.40 per share. We did not incur any prepayment or other penalties associated with the early repayment of that secured convertible term note. The remaining $5 million is available to us for additional acquisitions.

 
   

     The Term Note provides that interest on the unpaid principal balance is payable monthly and interest shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate,” as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus two percent (2%), subject to a floor of ten percent (10%). Principal is payable monthly commencing on February 1, 2008 at the monthly rate of $285,714.28 with remaining principal and unpaid interest due on July 31, 2010. We may prepay the Term Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty. In the event of a default by us or any of our subsidiaries, the entire unpaid balance of the Term Note shall become due and payable. Such events of default include without limitation: a) failure to pay, b) breach of covenant, c) breach of representation and warranties, d) default under other agreements, e) bankruptcy, f) judgements, g) insolvency, h) the indictment or threatened indictment of the Company or any executive officer or the Company under any criminal statute, or commencement or threatened commencement of criminal or civil proceedings against the Company or any executive officer of the Company pursuant to which statute or proceeding penalties or remedies sought or available include forfeiture of any of the property of the Company, i) an event of default as defined in the Purchase Agreement or any Related Agreement, j) stop trade, or k) Failure to deliver Common Stock or replacement note.

     
   

     As security for our obligations under the Term Note, we granted Calliope a security interest in all of our assets [and a security interest in all of the assets of our subsidiaries] pursuant to a Master Security Agreement, dated July 31, 2007, between our company, our subsidiaries and Calliope. As further security, we pledged all of the capital stock of all of our subsidiaries, pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement, dated July 31, 2007, between our company and Calliope. Our obligations under the Term Note are guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries

 

pursuant to a Subsidiary Guarantee, dated July 31, 2007, among each of our subsidiaries and Calliope.

     The Warrant provides for the purchase of 3,750,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $ .01 per share at any time after July 31, 2007 but prior to July 31, 2027. Calliope may not exercise the Warrant in the event the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by Calliope would exceed the difference between (i) 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by Calliope and Laurus except upon (i) seventy-five (75) days’ prior notice from Calliope to us or (ii) upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Term Note. In addition, the sale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to certain volume trading restrictions consistent with those in previous Laurus financings.

     Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 31, 2007, between our company and Calliope , we are obligated to (a) file a registration statement on or before October 16, 2007 to register the resale of the shares of our common stock underlying the Warrant and the Term Note, (b) use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective not later than February 16, 2008 and (c) use reasonable commercial efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) until the earlier date of when (i) all registrable securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or (ii) all registrable securities covered by such registration statement may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, as determined by our counsel pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to our transfer agent and the affected holders of our registrable securities.

     The above description of the above material agreements is not a complete description of all of the terms of such material agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreements, copies of which are included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

 

                  SECTION 2 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On August 17, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), we acquired Helio, a provider of IT and secure data center solutions to mid-tier enterprises and Fortune 1000 companies. The transaction was effected pursuant to (1) a Merger Agreement dated as of the Closing Date between our company, Incentra Helio Acquisition Corp., a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Incentra, Helio, David Condensa as the Shareholders’ representative and all shareholders of Helio by joinder agreement (the “Continuing Shareholders”), and (2) , a stock purchase agreement between Incentra and Paul Chopra, a former Helio shareholder.


     The initial purchase price was approximately $10.3 million, subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments in the event that working capital as of August 31, 2007 is less than $1.8 million. The price paid at closing to the Continuing Shareholders included $3.4 million in cash and 5,000,000 restricted shares of Incentra common stock. Of the $3.4 million paid in cash, $750,000 was placed into escrow to secure certain working capital and indemnification obligations of Helio, which funds will be released one year after the closing of the transaction according to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2007, between Incentra Solutions, Inc., Incentra Helio Acquisition Corp., Helio Solutions, Inc., Dave Condensa, as Shareholders’ Representative, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The cash amounts paid at closing were provided by proceeds from the Term Note from Calliope as described in Item 1.01.

     The earn-out provisions provide that the Continuing Shareholders can earn up to $15 million (our Company will recover 1,000,000 of the common shares issued at the closing out of any earn-out shares earned before any additional shares are granted) in additional consideration over the next three years based on the achievement of EBITDA greater than a minimum threshold of $2.0 million, $2.5 million and $3.0 million for the first, second and third 12-month periods after closing, respectively. The amount is payable dollar for dollar up to a maximum amount of $5.0 million per year. However, in the event EBITDA does not exceed the previously mentioned minimum thresholds in any of the next three years, there shall be no earn-out payable for that year. The earn-out is payable 50% in cash and 50% in stock of our Company, the number of common shares to be calculated using a price per share of $1.00 in the first year, the greater of $1.00 or 90% of the fair market value of our Company’s stock at the beginning of the second year for year two, and the greater of $2.00 or 90% of the fair market value of our Company’s stock at the beginning of the third year for year three. There is also a “catchup” adjustment mechanism at the end of the three year period if in any of the three years the shareholders do not receive an earn-out payment as a result of not achieving the minimum EBITDA in that year. If at the end of the three-year period the cumulative EBITDA is greater than $7.5MM, we will remeasure the earn-out amount payable based upon the three year cumulative EBITDA amount, subject to the maximum of $15 million. Any earn-out payable as “catch up” shall be payable 50% in cash and 50% in stock of our Company, the number of common shares to be calculated using a price per share equal to the greater of $2.00 or 90% of the fair market value of our Company’s stock at the end of the third year. In the event (a) Dave Condensa is terminated without cause, or should terminate his employment for good reason, (b) of a fundamental change in the business, or (c) the occurrence of a change of control, all future earn-out which has not been earned to that point is accelerated and immediately payable to the Continuing Shareholders in their pro-rata portions. Additionally, should any Continuing Shareholder other than Dave Condensa terminate their employment or be terminated for cause prior to the completion of the three-year earn-out period, they shall forfeit any unearned earnout, and such forfeited earn-out shall be reallocated to the remaining Continuing Shareholders. Should Dave Condensa terminate his employment other than for good reason or be terminated for cause, he shall forfeit any unearned earn-out, and such forfeited earn-out shall be eliminated and not become available to any other Continuing Shareholders.

     The price paid at closing to Paul Chopra, a former Helio shareholder and not a continuing shareholder, included $1.6 million in cash, 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock and the issuance of an unsecured, convertible three-year note for $770,000. The convertible note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum with quarterly principal and interest payments and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $1.00 at the option of Paul Chopra. The note is subject to certain event of default provisions as described more fully in the note.

     The Continuing Shareholders and Paul Chopra were both granted registration rights covering the shares issued in the transaction. At any time after August 14, 2009, upon the request of 66 2/3% of the Continuing Shareholders or Paul Chopra , we will be obligated to file a registration statement covering the registrable securities so requested as soon as practicable.

     We also entered into a lock-up and voting agreement with the Continuing Shareholders as of the closing date. The Continuing Shareholders agreed not to sell or transfer the shares received as of the closing date until August of 2009 except in certain circumstances. The Continuing Shareholders also agreed to vote at least half of the shares


issued and outstanding to them for any resolutions proposed by the Board of Directors, approved by Thomas P. Sweeney III and submitted to a vote by our shareholders.

     In conjunction with the acquisition of Helio, we entered into a three-year employment agreement with Dave Condensa, who will serve as President. The agreement provides for a base salary of $120,000 per year, an annual performance based bonus as determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors of Incentra Helio Acquisition Corp., as well as other standard benefits and terms regarding termination and change of control. All Continuing Shareholders signed five (5) year non-compete and non-solicitation covenants.

 

     PageMill Partners LLC (“PageMill”) acted as our exclusive mergers and acquisitions advisor in the transaction and, in consideration of its services, we paid a fee of $600,000 in cash and issued a five-year warrant to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock at $0.80 per share. We also granted PageMill registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrant. At any time after August 14, 2009, upon the request of PageMill, we are obligated to file a registration statement covering the warrant as soon as practicable after such request.

     On August 20, 2007 we issued a press release ( the “Press Release”) in connection with the transactions set forth in item 2.01 above, a copy of which is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1.

     The above description of the transaction and material agreements is not a complete description of all of the terms of such material agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreements, a copy of which are included as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K

 

Item 2.03 Creation Of A Direct Financial Obligation Or An Obligation Under An Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement Of A Registrant.

     The description of the note disclosed in Item 1.01 and earn-out provision disclosed in Item 2.01 are incorporated herein by reference.

     SECTION 3 - SECURITIES AND TRADING MARKETS

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales Of Equity Securities

     In connection with the material contract described in Item 1.01, we issued to Calliope the Common Stock Purchase Warrant described therein. In connection with the transaction described in Item 2.01, we issued shares of our Common Stock to the Continuing Shareholders and Paul Chopra and a warrant to purchase common stock to


PageMill. The warrant and shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, on the basis that their issuance did not involve a public offering, no underwriting fees or commissions were paid by us in connection with such issuance and Calliope, the Continuing Shareholders and Paul Chopra, and PageMill represented to us that they are “accredited investors,” as defined in the Securities Act of 1933.

          WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously determined and resolved that the Merger and all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the best interest of the holders of Company Common Stock and that the Merger is fair and advisable, and has approved this Agreement in accordance with the California General Corporation Law, as amended (the “CGCL”), and has further resolved unanimously to recommend to all holders of Company Common Stock that they authorize, approve and adopt this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

ARTICLE II

OF CERTIFICATES

          SECTION 2.1 Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

          (a) The Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 2.5 hereof) shall be converted into the right for each stockholder of the Company, as set forth in Section 3.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Shareholders”) to receive his or her respective pro rata share of:

 

 

 

 

 

          (i) cash in the amount of Three Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,400,000.00); and

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) Five Million shares of Parent’s unregistered common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Parent Shares”).

 

 

 

 

 

          (iii) For purposes of this Agreement, a Shareholder’s pro rata share shall be such Shareholder’s percentage interest in the total number of shares of Company Common Stock as set forth in Section 3.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

          (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the payment pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) shall be referred to as the “Cash Consideration”, and the term “Merger Consideration” shall mean, collectively, the Parent Shares and the Cash Consideration. At the Closing, Parent shall (i) pay the Cash Consideration described in Section 2.1(a)(i), less the Escrow

Page 12


Deposit (as defined in Section 2.1(c) hereof), to the Shareholders by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. federal funds to such accounts as the Shareholders may direct by written notice delivered to Parent or Parent’s counsel; and (ii) issue and deliver stock certificates to the Shareholders representing their respective pro rata shares of the Parent Shares.

          (c) Simultaneously with the Closing, Shareholders’ Representative and Parent shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with an escrow agent selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Shareholder Representative (the “Escrow Agent”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent shall deposit Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) of the Cash Consideration (the “Escrow Deposit”) into an interest bearing escrow account, which account is to be managed by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Account”). Any Escrow Deposit, any interest thereon, and any other property in the Escrow Account are referred to as the “Escrow Fund”. The Escrow Fund shall be available to satisfy any NWC Deficit (as defined in Section 2.1(d)(iii) below) and any amounts owed by Shareholders to Parent pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement and the terms of the Escrow Agreement (which amounts shall be paid first from the Escrow Fund until the Escrow Fund is exhausted). Distributions from the Escrow Account shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated herein by Shareholders shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the placement of the Escrow Deposit in escrow.

 

 

 

(d)        (i) As promptly as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Shareholders’ Representative a closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) presenting the Net Working Capital (defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as current assets minus current liabilities) as of the end of business on the Closing Date (“Closing Net Working Capital”). Accounts receivable included within Net Working Capital for this purpose shall be valued at face value if the age of the receivable is ninety (90) days or less , and at zero (0) if the age of the receivable is more than ninety (90) days; provided, however receivables aged more than ninety (90) days shall be valued at the face value with respect to purchase orders that have extended terms as a result of extended terms granted to the Company by its vendors, all of which purchase orders are identified in Section __ of Schedule III hereto. Shareholders’ Representative shall have twenty (20) days from receipt of the Closing Statement to dispute the calculation of Net Working Capital by Parent. Shareholders’ Representative shall provide notice to Parent of any such dispute in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 10.1 below. In the event no notice of dispute is provided to Parent, the Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on the parties. In the event Shareholders and Parent are not able to agree within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Closing Statement by the Shareholders’ Representative on such calculation, it shall be submitted to a mutually agreed upon independent public accounting firm for final resolution in accordance with the guidelines as provided herein.

Page 13


 

 

 

          (ii) The independent accounting firm selected by Parent and Shareholders’ Representative will be a firm with offices in more than one location. Each party may present financial information to the accounting firm for review within ten (10) days of selection of the firm provided that all such information is simultaneously provided to the other party. No such firm will be engaged that does not undertake to provide its final determination within thirty (30) days of submission of all materials to be reviewed. The decision of the selected accounting firm will be presented in a written report to include the basis for all adjustments made to the Closing Statement. The fees of the accounting firm will be paid one-half by the Parent and one-half by the Shareholders.

 

 

 

          (iii) In the event Closing Net Working Capital is less than One Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,800,000.00), the shortfall shall be referred to herein as the “NWC Deficit”, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the NWC Deficit, and an amount equal to the NWC Deficit shall be released from the Escrow Account to Parent. As soon as reasonably practicable (which shall in any case be within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Statement is deemed final), the Parties shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent joint instructions as contemplated in Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent to liquidate such portion of the Escrow Fund as required and deliver to Parent funds from the Escrow Fund in an amount equal to the NWC Deficit. In the event the Escrow Fund is less than the NWC Deficit, then each Shareholder shall, within fifteen (15) days of the Closing Working Capital Statement being deemed final, pay to Parent his or her pro rata share of the amount by which the NWC Deficit exceeds the Escrow Fund.

 

 

 

          (iv) In the event Closing Net Working Capital is greater than Two Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,200,000.00), the excess shall be referred to herein as the “NWC Excess”, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of the NWC Excess, and an amount equal to the NWC Excess shall be paid to Shareholders in their respective pro rata shares by Parent within fifteen (15) days after the Closing Statement is deemed to be final.

 

 

 

          (v) As soon as reasonably practicable (which shall in any case be within fifteen (15) days after the twelve (12) month anniversary date hereof), the Parties shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent joint instructions, as contemplated in Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent immediately to liquidate the Escrow Fund and deliver to Shareholders or Incentra (together with interest earned thereon in proportion to the distribution being made), as designated in such joint instructions, funds then remaining in the Escrow Fund, less the aggregate amount of all disputed amounts relating to any claims made pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement, if any, not paid or otherwise resolved by the aforementioned date. If any such claims are pending resulting in disputed amounts remaining in escrow, the Parties shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the resolution of such claim, execute and deliver to

Page 14


 

 

 

the Escrow Agent joint instructions (which shall be within fifteen (15) days of such resolution) as contemplated in Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent to liquidate the Escrow Fund and deliver the funds then remaining in escrow in accordance with the resolution of the claim or dispute.

          (e) Subject to the conditions set forth below, Parent will pay Shareholders their respective pro rata shares of Measurement Period Earn Out Payments, as defined below and to be computed as follows:

 

 

 

          (i) For the first twelve (12) calendar month period beginning on the first day of the first calendar month after Closing (the “First Measurement Period”), in the event Company’s EBITDA is in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), Parent will pay Shareholders, in their respective pro rata shares, additional consideration (the “First Measurement Period Earn Out Payment”) equal to One Dollar for each dollar of Company EBITDA earned during the First Measurement Period, up to a maximum First Measurement Period Earn Out Payment of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The First Measurement Period Earn Out Payment shall be payable within ninety (90) days after the end of the First Measurement Period and shall be paid one-half (1/2) in cash and one-half (1/2) in unregistered Parent Common Stock, with the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Subsection 2.1(e)(i) determined by dividing one-half (1/2) of the total First Measurement Period Earn Out Payment by One Dollar ($1.00). In the event First Measurement Period EBITDA exceeds Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00), the excess EBITDA above Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) shall be carried over and considered EBITDA earned for the Second Measurement Period and thus included in the determination of the Second Measurement Period Earn Out Payment.

 

 

 

          (ii) For the second twelve (12) calendar month period beginning on the first day of the first calendar month after Closing (the “Second Measurement Period”), in the event Company’s EBITDA is in excess of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00), Parent will pay Shareholders, in their respective pro rata shares, additional consideration (the “Second Measurement Period Earn Out Payment”) equal to One Dollar for each dollar of Company EBITDA earned during the Second Measurement Period, up to a maximum Second Measurement Period Earn Out Payment of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The Second Measurement Period Earn Out Payment shall be payable within ninety (90) days after the end of the Second Measurement Period and shall be paid one-half (1/2) in cash and one-half (1/2) in unregistered Parent Common Stock, with the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Subsection 2.1(e)(ii) determined by dividing one-half (1/2) of the total Second Measurement Period Earn Out Payment by the greater of One Dollar ($1.00) or ninety percent (90%) of the Fair Market Value of Parent Common Stock (as defined in Section 2.1(e)(iv) below) at the end of the Second Measurement Period (the “Second Period Determination Date”). In the event

Page 15


 

 

 

Second Measurement Period EBITDA exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), the excess EBITDA above Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) shall be carried over and considered EBITDA earned for the Third Measurement Period and thus included in the determination of the Third Measurement Period Earn Out Payment.

 

 

 

          (iii) For the third twelve (12) calendar month period beginning on the first day of the first calendar month after Closing (the “Third Measurement Period”), in the event Company’s EBITDA is in excess of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), Parent will pay Shareholders, in their respective pro rata shares, additional consideration (the “Third Measurement Period Earn Out Payment”) equal to One Dollar for each dollar of Company EBITDA earned during the Third Measurement Period, up to a maximum Third Measurement Period Earn Out Payment of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The Third Measurement Period Earn Out Payment shall be payable within ninety (90) days after the end of the Third Measurement Period and shall be paid one-half (1/2) in cash and one-half (1/2) in unregistered Parent Common Stock, with the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Subsection 2.1(e)(iii) determined by dividing one-half (1/2) of the total Third Measurement Period Earn Out Payment by the greater of Two Dollars ($2.00) or ninety percent (90%) of the Fair Market Value of Parent Common Stock (as defined in Section 2.1(f)(iv) below) at the end of the Third Measurement Period (the “Third Period Determination Date”).

 

 

 

          (iv) For purposes of this Agreement, the Fair Market Value of Parent Common Stock, shall be: (i) if the Company’s common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange or another national exchange or is quoted on the National or SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”), then the average of the closing price, reported for the last five (5) business days immediately preceding and including the Determination Date, or (ii) if the Company’s common stock is not traded on the American Stock Exchange or another national exchange or on the Nasdaq but is traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, then the mean of the average of the closing prices reported for the last five (5) business days immediately preceding and including the Determination Date.

 

 

 

          (v) In the event that Company EBITDA for any individual Measurement Period is less than the respective EBITDA threshold for that Measurement Period, there shall be no Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for that Measurement Period.

 

 

 

          (vi) In the event Company EBITDA for any individual Measurement Period is less than the amount of EBITDA required for a Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for that Measurement Period and the Company’s aggregate EBITDA for the three Measurement Periods is greater than Seven Million Five

Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000.00), an adjustment to the earn-out consideration will be calculated whereby Parent shall pay Shareholders their respective pro rata shares of an amount equal to the difference between (y) the actual aggregate EBIDTA over the three Measurement Periods, up to a maximum of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00), and (z) the actual Measurement Period Earn Out Payments made by Parent to Shareholders pursuant to Sections 2.1(e)(i) - (iii) above (the “Adjusting Earn Out Payment”). Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.1(e)(vi) shall be made within ninety (90) days of the end of the final Measurement Period and shall be paid one-half (1/2) in cash and one-half (1/2) in unregistered Parent Common Stock. The number of shares of unregistered Parent Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing one-half (1/2) of the Adjusting Earn Out Payment by the greater of Two Dollars ($2.00) or ninety percent (90%) of the per share Fair Market Value of Parent’s unregistered Common Stock.

 

 

 

          (vii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, One Million (1,000,000) shares of the Parent Shares issued to Shareholders at Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii) above shall be deemed issued as an advance against Parent Common Stock to be issued in payment of Measurement Period Earn Out Payments such that Parent shall not be required to issue any new Parent Common Stock to Shareholders in payment of any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment unless and until Shareholders shall become entitled to receive, in the aggregate, in excess of One Million (1,000,000) shares of Parent Common Stock in payment of one or more Measurement Period Earn Out Payments, and then, and only then, Parent shall be required to issue to Shareholders only the number of shares of Parent Common Stock by which the total to which they are otherwise entitled pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) exceeds One Million (1,000,000). Parent shall not, however, be entitled to recover any Parent Shares issued to Shareholders at Closing which have not been applied to payment of one or more Measurement Period Earn Out Payments pursuant to this Section 2.1(e)(vii) as of the end of the third Measurement Period.

 

 

 

          (viii) For purposes of this Agreement, EBITDA shall be defined as the net income of the Company, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and subject to the other restrictions or limitations on allocation of expenses as provided in this Agreement.The parties agree that no headquarters or overhead expenses or costs of Parent or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or other charges of or from Parent, its affiliates or subsidiaries will be allocated or charged to Company for purposes of determining EBITDA under this Agreement, provided that direct costs incurred by Parent, its affiliates or subsidiaries for services provided to and paid for by customers of the Company to the Company, at rates agreed to by the Company and Parent with respect to such services, shall be included at such agreed upon rates for purposes of determining EBITDA hereunder. The parties agree that no new “line items” reflecting costs or expenses shall be permitted to be included as

Page 17


 

 

 

an expense in arriving at this EBITDA, unless previously approved by the Shareholder Representative in his reasonable discretion. In the event of a merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company with another entity, the EBITDA calculation, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be made in a manner that as nearly as is reasonably possible reflects the EBITDA of the Company as it would have been but for such merger, consolidation or combination. Nothing in this Section 2.1(e) shall, however, be construed to prevent any such merger, consolidation or combination or the introduction of new goods and/or services to the line of goods and services provided by the Company. An accountant of Shareholders’ choosing shall be permitted to review and approve the computation of EBITDA following each of the Measurement Periods in question, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

 

 

          (ix) Parent shall have the right to withhold payment of any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment to a Shareholder up to the amount of the Shareholder’s pro rata liability for any claim reasonably made by Parent pursuant to Article VIII hereof to the extent such claim or claims (A) are not limited by the amount of the Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 8.2 below, and (B) exceed the Shareholder’s pro rata share of the then current Escrow Funds.

 

 

 

          (x) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event a Shareholder other than David Condensa resigns his or her employment with the Surviving Corporation during any Measurement Period, such Shareholder shall receive a percentage of his or her pro rata share of the Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for the Measurement Period during which he or she left equal to the percentage of such Measurement Period he or she was employed by Surviving Corporation during such Measurement Period, and shall forfeit and not be entitled to receive any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for any future Measurement Period. In the event a Shareholder is terminated by the Surviving Corporation For Cause (as defined in his or her employment agreement), such Shareholder shall forfeit and not be entitled to receive any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for the Measurement Period in which such termination For Cause occurred or for any future Measurement Period thereafter. Any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment forfeited by a Shareholder other than David Condensa pursuant to this Section 2.1(e)(x) shall be reallocated among the non-forfeiting Shareholders in their pro rata shares.

 

 

 

          (xi) In the event David Condensa resigns his or her employment with the Surviving Corporation without Good Reason (as defined in his or her employment agreement) during any Measurement Period, he shall receive a percentage of his pro rata share of the Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for the Measurement Period during which he left equal to the percentage of such Measurement Period he was employed by Surviving Corporation during such Measurement Period, and shall forfeit and not be entitled to receive any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for any future Measurement Period. In the event David Condensa is terminated by the Surviving Corporation For Cause

Page 18


 

 

 

(as defined in his employment agreement), he shall forfeit and not be entitled to receive any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for the Measurement Period in which such termination For Cause occurred or for any future Measurement Period thereafter. Any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment forfeited by David Condensa pursuant to this Section 2.1(e)(xi) shall be forfeited in full and shall not be reallocated among non-forfeiting Shareholders.

 

 

 

          (xii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Parent or Surviving Corporation engages in any Fundamental Business Changes (as defined below) without the prior written consent of the Shareholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Parent shall pay the Shareholders, in their then applicable percentage interests, the sum of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000), less the amount of any Measurement Period Earn Out Payments already paid to the Shareholders (such difference, the “Accelerated Earn Out Payment”). The Accelerated Earn Out Payment shall be payable within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the Fundamental Business Change (unless the prior consent of the Shareholder Representative was obtained) and shall be paid one-half (1/2) in cash and one-half (1/2) in unregistered Parent Common Stock, with the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Subsection 2.1(e)(xii) determined by dividing one-half (1/2) of the total Accelerated Earn Out Payment by the greater of One Dollars ($1.00) or the Fair Market Value of Parent Common Stock (as defined in Section 2.1(e)(iv)) at the time of the Fundamental Business Change. “Fundamental Business Change” shall mean (A) the termination of employment of Dave Condensa other than For Cause (as defined in his employment agreement) after Closing; (B) the resignation of Dave Condensa for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement); (C) a Change of Control (as defined below) of Parent or Surviving Corporation; (D) a change in the business strategy, fundamental areas of business or corporate objectives of the Surviving Corporation, other than changes consistent with the natural evolution of the business, as operated by the Company, or the industry that results in a Material Adverse Effect on the EBITDA of Surviving Corporation; (G) any material changes in the accounting practices, revenue recognition policies, cost allocation methodologies or categories or types of operating expenses of the Surviving Corporation in a manner inconsistent with those used in the preparation of the prior financial statements of the Company (except to the extent necessary to comply with any changes in GAAP) that results in a Material Adverse Effect on the EBITDA of Surviving Corporation; or (H) any acceleration of recognition of revenue or delay in incurrence of capital expenditures or expenses in a manner inconsistent with past practices of the Company (except to the extent necessary to comply with any changes in GAAP) that results in a Material Adverse Effect on the EBITDA of Surviving Corporation; provided, however, in no event shall a Fundamental Business Change be deemed to have occurred as a result of the addition of services offered by Parent or its Affiliates to the Surviving Corporation’s line of business and accounting or revenue recognition practices required thereby, changes to accounting or revenue recognition practices to the extent necessary to comply with any changes in GAAP or SEC reporting

Page 19



 

 

 

requirements, or by any change in business strategy or accounting practices implemented by the Shareholder Representative in his capacity as an officer or manager of Surviving Corporation. “Change of Control” means any sale of voting securities or sale of assets (whether by sale, merger, consolidation, share exchange, or otherwise in one transaction or a series of transactions) of Parent or Surviving Corporation that results in any third party that is not a shareholder immediately prior to the Closing becoming the owner of securities or assets of the Surviving Corporation or Parent representing over fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of Surviving Corporation’s or Parent’s then outstanding securities or all or substantially all of their respective assets; provided, however, no Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of any transfer or acquisition of Parent shares or other Parent securities by one or more Shareholders.

          SECTION 2.2 Fractional Shares. No certificates representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates representing Company capital stock (“Company Stock Certificates”), no dividend or distribution by Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a Shareholder of Parent. Further, no holder of a Company Stock Certificate who otherwise would have been entitled to receive in the Merger a fractional share interest in exchange for such Company Stock Certificate shall have the right to receive cash payment in lieu thereof. In lieu of any such fractional shares or cash payment, (x) any such fractional share interest greater than or equal to one-half of a share (0.5) shall be rounded up to the next whole share number, and (y) any such fractional share less than one-half of a share (0.5) shall be rounded down to the preceding whole share number and the certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger shall reflect such adjustments.

          SECTION 2.3 Exchange of Certificates. (a) At the Closing, the Shareholders shall surrender to the Parent all Company Stock Certificates in proper form for cancellation, and upon such surrender shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor his or her respective Merger Consideration, including a certificate (or certificates) representing such whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock as such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II in such denominations and registered in such names as such holder may request. The shares represented by the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement), no interest shall be paid or accrued in respect of any of the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Article II. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.3, each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed at all times from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration.

Page 20


          (b) If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Stock Certificate, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to which such person is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock having a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate until the holder shall surrender such Company Stock Certificate as provided in this Section 2.3. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Company Stock Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefore, in each case without any interest thereon, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions, if any, having a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid, less the amount of all required withholding Taxes in respect thereof, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date subsequent to surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions having a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the date of such surrender and having a payment date subsequent to the date of such surrender and payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, less the amount of all required withholding Taxes in respect thereof.

          (d) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon surrender of Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock represented thereby and, as of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books and records of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books and records of the Company of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are properly presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason (but otherwise in accordance with this Article II), they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.3.

          SECTION 2.4 Certain Adjustments. If, after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time and to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall be changed into a different number, class or series of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization or combination, forward stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or rights issued in respect of such stock, or any similar event shall occur (any such action, an “Adjustment Event”), the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted correspondingly to provide to the

Page 21


holders of Company Common Stock the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock having the same economic value as contemplated by this Agreement immediately prior to such Adjustment Event and Parent’s payment obligations likewise shall be correspondingly adjusted such that it shall be required to pay and deliver not more than the aggregate Merger Consideration contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the aggregate amount of the Cash Consideration shall not change under any circumstances.

          SECTION 2.5 Shares of Dissenting Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding as of the Effective Time and that are held by a holder of Company Common Stock who has properly exercised his or her rights under Section 1300 et. seq. of the CGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) or under the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration; provided, however, if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his right to dissent from the Merger under the CGCL or DGCL and to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the CGCL or DGCL, each share of such holder’s Company Common Stock thereupon shall be deemed to have been converted into and to have become, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article II. The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of (i) all demands for appraisal or payment for shares of Company Common Stock received by the Company prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the CGCL or DGCL, and (ii) any settlement or offer to settle any such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

          SECTION 2.6 Tax-Free Reorganization. The Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the parties hereto agree not to take any action which could result in the Merger failing to so qualify. The parties hereto further agree to report the Merger for all purposes as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code, and that this Agreement is intended to be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The parties agree to cooperate to minimize the taxes payable with the respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The representations and warranties of the Company, Shareholders and Parent contained in this Agreement and any other document or certificate relating hereto (collectively, the “Acquisition Documents”) shall survive the Effective Time for a period of eighteen (18) months; provided, however, claims related to fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence shall survive for a period of twenty-four (24) months. Neither the period of survival nor the liability of the parties with respect to their respective representations and warranties shall be affected by any investigation made at any time (whether before or after the Effective Time) by or on behalf of another party or by any actual, implied or constructive knowledge or notice of any facts or circumstances that the other parties may have as a result of such investigation or otherwise. The parties hereto agree that reliance shall not be an element of any claim for misrepresentation or indemnification under this Agreement. The waiver by a party of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or based on the performance of, or the compliance with, any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations. If written notice of claim has been given prior to the expiration of the applicable representations and warranties, then the relevant representations and warranties shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

          SECTION 8.2 Indemnification by Shareholders. (a) By virtue of their adoption of this Agreement and their approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Shareholders agree that after the Effective Time, Parent and is affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation), officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Shareholders, jointly and severally, for any and all liabilities, losses, damages of any kind, diminution in value, claims, costs, expenses, fines, fees, deficiencies, interest, awards, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and penalties (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses and other costs of defending, investigations or settling claims) suffered, incurred, accrued (in accordance with GAAP) or paid by them (including, without limitation, in connection with any action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (collectively, “Parent Losses”), (but with adjustment for any insurance recovery or tax deduction relating thereto), to the extent arising out of or resulting therefrom:

                    (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty (without giving effect to any qualification as to materiality or knowledge (or similar qualifications) contained therein) made by the Company or any Shareholder in the Acquisition Documents;

Page 61


                    (ii) the material breach of any covenant or other agreement made by the Company or any Shareholder in the Acquisition Documents;

                    (iii) Parent Losses arising from breach of contract or other claims made by any party alleging to have had a contractual or other right to acquire the Company’s capital or assets, specifically including, but not limited to, pursuant to that Entity Buy-Sell Agreement entered into by and among the Company and certain of the Shareholders and dated as of May 3, 2001;

                    (iv) in the event that any Shareholder properly exercises appraisal rights under applicable law, the amount, if any, by which the fair market value (determined in accordance with applicable law) of the Dissenting Shares exceeds the amount such Shareholder was otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement (including the Earn Out Payments);

                    (v) any cost, loss or other expense (including the value of any Tax deduction after such loss) as a result of the application of Section 280G of the Code to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any previous transactions which result in such liability after the Closing, plus any necessary gross up amount; or

                    (vi) any Shareholder expenses payable by the Surviving Corporation following the Closing which are incurred prior to the Closing and are not set forth in Section 3.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedule;

Page 62


                    (vii) provided, however, that (A) no Parent Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive indemnification payments with respect to any Parent Loss unless and until the aggregate deductible amount of the Parent Losses exceeds $100,000.00, and then only to the extent of the Parent Losses in excess of such aggregate amount; (B) this Section 8.2 shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent or a Parent Indemnified Party with respect to any breach or failure of any representation or warranty or covenant under this Agreement or any of the Acquisition Documents; and (C) the aggregate liability of the Shareholders under this Section 8.2 shall not exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) except for claims related to willful misconduct (other than fraud) or gross negligence, in which case the aggregate liability of the Shareholders under this Section 8.2 shall not exceed the aggregate Merger Consideration actually paid to Shareholders (inclusive of any Escrow Fund), and the liability of each Shareholder under this Section 8.2 shall be limited to his or her pro rata share of Parent Losses and shall not exceed his or her pro rata share of such liability cap; provided, further, however, that the $100,000.00 threshold set forth above shall not apply and the aggregate Merger Consideration liability cap shall apply to the following Excepted Parent Losses (t) Parent Losses covered by Section 8.2(a)(iii) above, (u) tax obligations of the Company or Shareholders pertaining to periods prior to the Closing, (v) breach of the Company’s contracts with Sun Microsystems, (w) any claim brought by or based upon claims of any Company stockholder or related party accruing prior to the Closing, (x) damages and or costs incurred as a result of or in the defense of the legal actions set forth in Section 3.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (y) claims related to the ownership or loans for the purchase of or secured by that building located at 3000 Lakeside Drive, Santa Clara, CA or (z) a breach by a Shareholder of his or her obligations under Section 6.6. With respect to such Excepted Parent Losses, the liability of each Shareholder under this Section 8.2 shall be limited to such Shareholder’s pro rata share of such Excepted Parent Losses and shall not exceed the Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Merger Consideration actually paid to the Shareholders. Parent agrees that in the case of a breach by an identifiable individual Shareholder (a “Breaching Shareholder”), Parent will look first for satisfaction of the indemnification claim to (i) such Breaching Shareholder’s pro rata share of the Escrow Fund, then (ii) to any Earn Out Payment then payable to such Breaching Shareholder, then (iii) to such Breaching Shareholder’s pro rata share of the remaining Merger Consideration actually received by such Breaching Shareholder, then, (iv) to the remaining Shareholders’ pro rata shares of the Escrow Fund in pro rata portions, then (v) to any Earn Out Payment then payable to the Remaining Shareholders, in pro rata portions, then (vi) to the remaining Shareholders’ pro rata shares of the remaining Merger Consideration actually received by such remaining Shareholders, in pro rata portions, and then (vii) to any future Earn Out Payment that may become payable to the Shareholders, in pro rate portions. In the case of a breach not attributable to an individual identifiable Shareholder, Parent agrees to look for satisfaction of the indemnification claim, in pro rata portions, to, first (1) the Escrow Fund, then (2) to any Earn Out Payment then payable to the Shareholders, in pro rata portions, then (3) to the Shareholders’ pro rata shares of the remaining Merger Consideration actually received by such remaining Shareholders, in pro rata portions, and, then (4) to any future Earn Out Payments that may become payable to Shareholders, in pro rata portions. At the Shareholder’s sole option, a Shareholder may pay any indemnification amount that may

Page 63


become due and payable from Merger Consideration actually received by directing Parent to first use shares of Parent Common Stock, without any discounts for brokerage or underwriting commissions. For purposes of any indemnity claim limited by the Merger Consideration, the value of the Parent Shares shall be the lesser of (X) their value at the time issued to the Shareholders, or (Y) their Fair Market Value at the time the indemnity claim is made.

          (b) As used herein, “Parent Losses” are not limited to matters asserted by third parties, but include Losses incurred or sustained by the Parent Indemnified Parties in the absence of claims by third parties, but subject to the limits set forth herein.

          (c) By virtue of their adoption of this Agreement and their approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Shareholders acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Losses as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as an Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Losses as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach, provided that there shall be no duplicate recovery with respect to any Parent Losses.

          (d) No Shareholder shall have any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Shareholder may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III of this Agreement shall, for purposes of the Company’s or Shareholders’ indemnification obligations, be deemed to be made as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective Time (except for any such representation or warranty that expressly speaks of and earlier date) without regard to the exceptions set forth in the certificates to be delivered in connection with Section 7.2.

Page 64


          SECTION 8.3 Indemnification by Parent. Shareholders (the “Shareholder Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Surviving Corporation and Parent, jointly and severally, against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation (hereinafter individually a “Shareholder Loss” and collectively “Shareholder Losses”) (but with adjustment for any insurance recovery or tax deduction relating thereto), to the extent arising out of or resulting therefrom, incurred by the Shareholder Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly as a result of: (i) any inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of Parent contained in this Agreement or (ii) any failure by Parent or Surviving Corporation to perform or comply with any covenant contained in this Agreement; provided, that the Shareholder Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to receive indemnification payments with respect to any Shareholder Loss under (i) or (ii) above unless and until the aggregate deductible amount of the Shareholder Losses exceeds $100,000.00 and then only to the extent of such Shareholder Losses in excess of such aggregate amount; provided, however, such aggregate deductible amount shall not apply to Parent’s failure to make payments under Section 2.2(a)(i) hereof or under the Employment Agreements, so long as there has been no termination of the Employment Agreements in accordance with their terms which would relieve Parent of its payment obligations thereunder, or to Parent’s obligation to issue its Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

          SECTION 8.4 Claims and Procedure

          (a) Claims. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification, the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “indemnified party”) shall notify the party or parties from whom indemnification is sought (collectively, the “indemnifying party”) of the claim pursuant to Section 8.4(c) hereunder and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount or estimate of the amount of the liability arising from such claim. The indemnified party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party unless (i) suit shall have been instituted against the indemnified party and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have taken control of such suit as provided in Section 8.4(b) within 25 days after notification thereof.

          (b) Defense by Indemnifying Party. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a third party, the indemnifying party, at its sole cost and expense, may, upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the indemnifying party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party to conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings and at the indemnifying party’s sole cost and expense shall take all reasonable steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The indemnifying party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be

Page 65


unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if (a) the indemnifying party admits in writing its liability to hold the indemnified party harmless from and against any losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of such settlement, (b) concurrently with such settlement the indemnifying party pays into court the full amount of all losses, damages, expenses and liabilities to be paid by the indemnifying party in connection with such settlement and obtains a full release of any liability of the indemnified party which is not conditioned upon any further payment and (c) such settlement would not otherwise have a material adverse effect on the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the indemnified party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the indemnifying party, on such terms as the indemnified party may deem appropriate. The indemnifying party shall be required to participate in the defense of any action by providing information necessary to permit the indemnified party to defend such action as indicated in (d) below and shall be advised of its status. In any action by the indemnified party seeking indemnification from the indemnifying party in accordance with the provisions of this Section, if the indemnifying party did not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation, the indemnifying party shall not be entitled to question the manner in which the indemnified party defended such claim or litigation or the amount or nature of any such settlement.

          (c) Notice. In the event of any occurrence which may give rise to a claim by an indemnified party against an indemnifying party hereunder, the indemnified party will give notice thereof to the indemnifying party within 20 days of the indemnified party becoming aware of events giving rise to the possibility of a right to indemnification and the first opportunity to reduce, remedy or incur the damages or potential damages caused by such occurrence; provided, however, that failure of the indemnified party to timely give the notice provided in this Section 8.4(c) shall not be a defense to the liability of an indemnifying party for such claim, but such indemnifying party may recover from the indemnified party any actual damages arising from the indemnified party’s failure to give such timely notice; provided, further that Parent may take preemptive legal action of a pressing nature, with respect to a third party Claim, only after providing notice to the Shareholders in the manner provided for in Section 10.1 hereof.

          (d) Access to Information. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense of a claim, each party shall provide to the other parties, upon written request, all information and documentation in the possession or control of such party and reasonably necessary to support and verify any Parent or Shareholder Losses which give rise to such claim for indemnification and shall provide reasonable access to all books, records and personnel in such party’s possession or control which would have a bearing on such claim.

          (e) Tax Audits. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in all events Shareholders shall be permitted to retain legal counsel, accountants, and any and all professional assistance Shareholders desires, (all at Shareholders’ sole cost and expense) to defend against any audits involving taxes relating to the time during which

Page 66


Shareholders owned the Company. Parent agrees to give Shareholder notice in the event Parent has received notice of any such tax audit.

          (f) Fraud Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the existence of this Article VIII and of the rights and restrictions set forth herein do not limit any legal remedy for claims based on common law fraud.

          SECTION 8.5 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (a “Dispute”), shall be settled by binding arbitration. Any such arbitration proceeding shall be conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Shareholders and Parent. In the event that within forty-five (45) days after submission of any Dispute to arbitration, Shareholders and Parent cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, Shareholders and Parent shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator who will arbitrate the case on his own. The agreed upon arbitrator or the third arbitrator, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or third arbitrator, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the Dispute. The arbitrator or the third arbitrator, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrator or third arbitrator, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California, under the rules then in effect of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. The substantially non-prevailing party shall pay all expenses relating to the arbitration, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and applicable administrative fees.

The Net Working Capital measurement date shall be changed from the Closing Date to August 31, 2007 and the term “Closing Net Working Capital” as used in the Merger Agreement, as amended hereby, shall mean Net Working Capital of the Company as of August 31, 2007. In the event that as of August 31, 2007, Net Working Capital is less than $1,800,000, excluding any current assets arising from or related to the executive life insurance policies, the amount by which Net Working Capital is less than $1,800,000 will be paid to Incentra by the Helio Shareholders outside of escrow and not by way of the Escrow Funds, provided that Dave Condensa may cause the insurance policies to be liquidated, and if the proceeds thereof remain in the Company, such proceeds shall be included in determining Closing Net Working Capital and shall reduce the amount of any shortfall that otherwise would arise. Such payment shall be made to Incentra no later than September 21, 2007. From the Closing Date through August 31, 2007, the Company shall not unreasonably cause any decrease in Net Working Capital.


          2. Waiver of Covenants. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and accept that as of Closing, notwithstanding the certificates of the President and Treasurer of the Company to be delivered at Closing, the Company will not have the minimum $1,500,000 in Net Working Capital required for closing. Subject to the provisions of this Second Amendment, Parent and Merger Sub hereby waive, as of the date hereof and as of Closing, the conditions and covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement to the extent such conditions or covenants are breached or not fulfilled as a result of the failure of the Company to deliver $1,500,000 of Net Working Capital.

          3. Closing; Scope of Amendment. Closing shall occur on August 17, 2007, or such other date is as agreed upon by the parties, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Any provision of the Merger Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, inconsistent with the terms of this Second Amendment is hereby amended. Except as amended hereby, the Merger Agreement and the First Amendment remain unamended and in full force and effect.

At any time after August ___, 2009 (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Demand Date”), if the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any registration with respect to Registrable Securities the Company will:

 

 

 

 

          (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and

 

 

 

 

          (b) as soon as practicable, use all reasonable efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post- effective amendments, appropriate qualification under the blue sky or other state securities laws requested by Initiating Holders and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2:

 

 

 

 

 

          (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act or applicable rules or regulations thereunder;

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) less than ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date of any registration declared or ordered effective other than a registration on Form S-3 or Form S-8;

3



 

 

 

 

 

          (iii) if, while a registration request is pending pursuant to this Section 2, the Company determines, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, with the advice of counsel, that the filing of a registration statement would require the disclosure of non-public material information the disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or would otherwise materially adversely affect a financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other significant transaction, the Company shall deliver a certificate to such effect signed by its President to the proposed selling Holders and the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2 until the earlier of (A) three (3) days after the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (B) 90 days after the Company makes such good faith determination; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period; or

 

 

 

 

 

          (iv) except as set forth in Section 2.5, after the second such registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 has been declared or ordered effective.

          Subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders.

                    2.2 Additional Shares to be Included. The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 3.3 below, include (a) other securities of the Company (the “Additional Shares”) which are held by (i) officers or directors of the Company who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, are entitled to include their securities in any such registration or (ii) other persons who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, including the Existing Rights Agreements, are entitled to include their securities in any such registration (the “Other Stockholders”), and (b) securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.

                    2.3 Underwriting.

                    (a) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to other Holders referred to in Section 2.1 above. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein and subject to the limitations provided herein. A Holder may elect to include in such underwriting all or a part of the Registrable Securities he holds.

                    (b) The Company shall (together with all Holders, officers, directors and Other Stockholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) negotiate

4


and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    2.4 Limitations on Shares to be Included. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the representative of the underwriters of a firm commitment underwriting advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: first, among the Other Stockholders that offer securities being sold pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements; second, among the Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration; third, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; and thereafter, the number of shares that may be included in the registration statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all officers or directors or remaining Other Stockholders, in each case in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration at the time of filing the registration statement. If the Company or any Holder, officer, director or Other Stockholder who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw such Person’s Registrable Securities or Additional Shares therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration. No Registrable Securities or Additional Shares excluded from such registration by reason of such underwriters’ marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Company or underwriter or underwriters selected as provided above may round the number of Registrable Securities of any Holder which may be included in such registration to the nearest 100 shares.

                    2.5 Additional Demand Registration. If with respect to the last registration permitted to be exercised by the Holders of Registrable Securities under Section 2.1, the Holders are unable to register all of their Registrable Securities because of the operation of Section 2.4 hereof, such Holders shall be entitled to require the Company to effect one additional registration to afford the Holders an opportunity to register all such Registrable Securities. Such additional registration shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.

          3. Company Registration.

                    3.1 At any time after August ___, 2009, if the Company shall determine to register under the Securities Act any of its equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising any

5


demand registration rights, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or the Form SB-2 filed on or about June 29, 2004, (or any successor forms thereto), the Company will:

 

 

 

          (a) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws); and

 

 

 

          (b) include in such registration (and, subject to Section 2.1(b)(i), any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or request, made by any Holder within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notice from the Company described in clause (a) above, except as set forth in Section 3.3 below. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities.

                    3.2 Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any officers, directors or Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    3.3 Limitations on Shares to be Included. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the representative of the underwriters of a firm commitment underwriting advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation or elimination on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) limit the number of or eliminate the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: first, if such underwritten offering shall have been initiated by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; second, among the Other Stockholders that offer securities being sold pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements; third, among the

6


Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration; fourth, if such underwritten offering shall not have been initiated by the Company, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; and thereafter, the number of shares that may be included in the registration statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all officers or directors or remaining Other Stockholders, in each case in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration at the time of filing the registration statement. If any Holder of Registrable Securities or any officer, director or Other Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

          4. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, except that Selling Expenses shall be borne pro rata by each Holder in accordance with the number of shares sold.

          5. Registration Procedures.

                    5.1 In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof and will, at its expense:

 

 

 

          (a) use all reasonable efforts to keep such registration effective for a period of 180 days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; provided, however, that the Company will keep such registration effective for longer than 180 days if the costs and expenses associated with such extended registration are borne by the selling Holders;

 

 

 

          (b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

 

 

 

          (c) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;

 

 

 

          (d) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of

7



 

 

 

 

which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller 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 shares, 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 or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;

 

 

 

          (e) List all such Registrable Securities registered in such registration on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

 

 

 

          (f) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

 

 

 

          (g) Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers and directors to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such registration statement;

 

 

 

          (h) Furnish to each selling Holder upon request a signed counterpart, addressed to each such selling Holder, of

 

 

 

 

          (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of the registration statement in form reasonably acceptable to the Company and such counsel, and

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) “comfort” letters signed by the Company’s independent public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and accountants’ “comfort” letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities;

 

 

 

 

          (i) Furnish to each selling Holder upon request a copy of all documents filed with and all correspondence from or to the Commission in connection with any such offering; and

8



 

 

 

          (j) Make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

                    5.2 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the Holders proposing to register Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and their intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    5.3 In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under this Agreement, the Company will give the Holders on whose behalf such Registrable Securities are to be registered and their underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to review such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each such Holder such access to the Company’s books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, its counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders or such underwriters or their respective counsel, in order to conduct a reasonable and diligent investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.

          6. Indemnification.

                    6.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each Person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other

9


expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.

                    6.2 Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by him are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company (other than such Holder) or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other such Holder and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each Person controlling such Holder or other stockholder, against all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter or control Person, each other Holder and each of their officers, directors and partners and each Person controlling such Holder or other stockholder for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein.

                    6.3 Notices of Claims, Procedures, etc. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Party’s sole expense, 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 under this Section 7 unless such failure is prejudicial to the ability of Indemnifying Party to defend such claim or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such litigation, proceeding or other action if (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, or (ii) the named parties in any such claims (including any impleaded parties) include any such Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been advised in writing (in suitable detail) by counsel to the Indemnified Party either (A) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party

10


which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (B) that there is a conflict of interest by virtue of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties having common counsel, in any of which events, the legal fees and expenses of a single counsel for all Indemnified Parties with respect to each such claim, defense thereof, or counterclaims thereto shall be borne by Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably required and furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

          7. Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

          8. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted by the Company under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of any Registrable Securities; provided that the Company is given written notice at or prior to the time of said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of a Holder under this Agreement to the Company and other Holders in effect at the time of transfer under all effective agreements.

          9. Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in Section 2 or Section 3 above after the earlier of, as to each Holder, the time at which such Holder (i) has sold all shares of Common Stock to which this agreement applies, or (ii) can sell all shares of Common Stock held by it and to which this agreement applies without restriction in compliance with Rule 144(k).

          10. Exchange Act Compliance. So long as the Company remains subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and will take all actions reasonably necessary to enable holders of Registrable Securities to sell such securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the provisions of (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be

11


amended from time to time, if applicable or (c) any similar rules or regulations hereunder adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. After any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A, the Company will, to the extent allowed by law, cause any restrictive legends to be removed and any transfer restrictions to be rescinded with respect to such Registrable Securities. In order to permit a Holder to sell the same, if it so desires, pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated by the Commission (or any successor to such rule), the Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission applicable in connection with use of Rule 144A (or any successor thereto). Prospective transferees of Registrable Securities that are Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined in Rule 144A) that would be purchasing such Registrable Securities in reliance upon Rule 144A may request from the Company information regarding the business, operations and assets of the Company. Within five (5) business days of any such request, the Company shall deliver to any such prospective transferee copies of annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements of the Company and such other information as may be required to be supplied by the Company for it to comply with Rule 144A.

          11. No Conflict of Rights. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which grants, or modifies any existing agreement with respect to its securities to grant, to the holder of its securities equal or higher priority to the rights granted to the Holders under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

          12. Lockup Agreement. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations hereunder, the Holders of Registrable Securities agree in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities (which includes Registrable Securities of at least $75,000 in value) pursuant to Section 3 hereof that, upon the request of the Company not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than those shares included in such registration) without the prior written consent of the Company for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company may specify.

          13. Benefits of Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, legal representatives and heirs. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any other Person.

          14. Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding among the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all existing agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, among them. No alteration or modification of any provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed, on the one hand, by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and, on the other, by the Company.

12


          15. Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

          16. Notices.

(b)

-4-


 

 

 

 

 

 

transaction exempt from such laws, such as in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, and that certificates representing the shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall bear legends to this effect. Chopra understands that Purchaser’s issuance of shares of Purchaser Common Stock contemplated by this Agreement is intended to be exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Chopra’s representations as expressed herein. Chopra is not a party to nor bound by any agreement regarding the ownership or disposition of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock other than this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, Chopra has reviewed Purchaser’s publicly-available SEC filings. In evaluating his investment in and acceptance of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued to him hereunder, Chopra has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as set forth in this Agreement or in such Purchaser SEC filings.

 

 

 

 

 

(e)

Chopra has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of his investment in the Purchaser

-5-


 

 

 

 

 

 

Common Stock as contemplated by this Agreement, and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. Chopra is not relying on Purchaser for advice with respect to economic considerations involved in his acquisition and acceptance of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

 

(f)

Chopra has not engaged any broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder, consultant or other person who is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee, compensation or commission, however and whenever payable, in connection with the sale of the Helio Stock and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall hold Purchaser harmless from any claims through Chopra for such fees.

(a)

For and in consideration of the sums specified in this Agreement and the performance of all other terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, effective as of the Closing, Chopra releases and forever discharges Purchaser, its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, injuries and damages, of any kind known or unknown existing, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) Purchaser’s purchase of the Helio Stock and/or any other interests in or to Helio, whether owned by Chopra or others, and (ii) otherwise related to Helio and/or his ownership therein and accruing on or prior to the Closing Date;

provided, however, such release shall not apply if Purchaser fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and/or the Convertible Note.

 

 

 

 

 

(b)

Chopra acknowledges that there is a risk that, subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, he may incur, suffer or sustain injury, loss, damages, costs, attorney’s fees, expenses, or any of these, which are in some way caused by and/or connected with the parties hereto; or which are unknown and unanticipated at the time this Agreement is signed, or which are not presently capable of being ascertained. Chopra further acknowledges that there is a risk that such damages as are known may become more serious than he now expects or anticipates.

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of
executing the Release, which if known by him or her, must have
materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

8.

The parties shall, contemporaneously herewith or hereafter, execute such additional documents as may be reasonably necessary to evidence or effectuate the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

9.

No action or failure to act by the parties hereto shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded them hereunder, nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute an approval of or acquiescence in any breach hereunder, except as may be specifically agreed in writing.

 

 

10.

This Agreement, and any of its terms, conditions and provisions may be modified, amended, altered, supplemented, added to, canceled or terminated only by mutual agreement in writing signed by all the parties hereto.

 

 

11.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and replaces any and all other negotiations, conversations, understandings and/or agreements, written, oral, implied or otherwise.

 

 

12.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original hereof, but all such multiple counterparts shall constitute but a single instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile copy.

 

 

13.

The rights, obligations, guarantees, warranties, representations and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall survive the closing of the sale contemplated by this Agreement and the payment of funds hereunder, shall not be affected by any reviews, audits, and/or searches performed by or on behalf of Purchaser prior to said closing, and shall be

-13-


 

 

 

binding on and inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of all the parties hereto.

 

 

14.

If it becomes necessary for any party to enforce this contract by employing an attorney, such party shall be entitled to collect reasonable attorney’s fees, and court costs from the non-performing party.

 

 

15.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions, notwithstanding the fact that one or more of the parties to this Agreement is now or may become a resident or citizen of a different state. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had been omitted.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

 

$770,000

August 14,
2007

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Incentra Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and any successor corporation to the Company, hereby promises to pay to the order of PAUL CHOPRA and his assigns (together with his assigns, “Payee”), the principal amount of Seven Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($770,000) on the terms set forth below. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note in arrears from and including the date hereof on the principal balance from time to time outstanding, computed daily, at an annual rate of eight percent (8%). Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the holder hereof does not intend to charge and the Company shall not be required to pay any interest or other fees or charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law; any payments in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Company or credited to reduce principal hereunder. The Company may prepay any or all principal and accrued interest due under this Note at any time, upon ten (10) days prior notice to holder, without penalty.

          Twelve equal payments of principal and interest in the amount of Seventy Two Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety Nine and 95/100 Dollars ($72,899.95) shall be due and payable without notice or demand, the first payment being due on November 14, 2007, and the eleven remaining payments being due on the 14th day of each February, May, August and November during the period beginning on February 14, 2008 and ending on August 14, 2010. For purposes of this Note, each such date on which payment is due shall be referred to as a “Payment Due Date”. Payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available United States federal funds sent to an account or accounts designated by the holder in accordance with the instructions furnished to the Company for that purpose.

          Upon the happening of any of the following events, each of which shall constitute a default hereunder (herein referred to as an “Event of Default”), the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued interest evidenced by this Note and all other liabilities of the Company to


the Payee evidenced by this Note, shall thereupon or thereafter, at the option of the Payee, without notice or demand, become due and payable: (a) failure of the Company to pay in full, within ten (10) days after the applicable due date hereof, any installment of principal and/or interest under this Note or any other charge or liability hereunder; (b) failure of the Company to perform any other agreement hereunder; (c) the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (d) the Company shall petition or apply to any court or other tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or any trustee or shall commence any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect; (e) if there shall have been filed any such petition or application, or any such proceeding shall have been commenced against the Company in which an order for relief is entered or which remains undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days or more; (f) the Company by any act or omission shall indicate consent to, approval of or fail to timely object to any such petition, application or proceeding or order for relief or the appointment of a custodian, receiver or any trustee or shall suffer any such custodianship, receivership or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days or more; (g) the Company shall have made or suffered a transfer of any of its property in contravention of any bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance or similar law; or shall have made any transfer of its property to or for the benefit of a creditor at a time when other creditors similarly situated have not been paid; or (h) the taking of possession of any substantial part of the property of the Company at the instance of any governmental authority.

          This Note constitutes the “Promissory Note” described in that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 14, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and Payee, and is entitled to all of the benefits of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Unless defined herein, capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Purchase Agreement have the meaning given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

          The Company agrees to pay all costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Payee and its assigns (including, without limitation, costs of collection, court costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection with the successful enforcement of the Payee’s rights under this Note (all such costs, fees and expenses being herein referred to as “Costs”). The Company hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, and protest, notice of demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, and all other notices or demands of any kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement hereof. The rights and remedies of the holder as provided herein shall be cumulative and concurrent and in addition to any other rights the Payee may have at law, in equity or otherwise, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together at the sole discretion of the holder and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur. The Company agrees that any delay or failure on the part of the Payee in exercising any rights or remedies hereunder will not operate as a waiver of such rights, and further agrees that any payments and prepayments received hereunder will be applied first to Costs, then to interest and the balance to principal. The Payee shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party or parties waiving such rights or remedies. All payments under this Note shall be made without counterclaim, offset or defense of any kind.

2


          This Note will be registered on the books of the Company or its agent as to principal and interest. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided however that the Company shall not assign this Note without the prior written consent of the Payee. Any transfer of this Note will be effected only by surrender of this Note to the Company and reissuance of a new note to the transferee. The Payee and any subsequent holder of this Note receives this Note subject to the foregoing terms and conditions, and agrees to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions for the benefit of the Company and any other Payees.

          Any notice required or permitted under this Note shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given on the date of delivery, if personally delivered to the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the third business day after mailing, if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given, by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows:

          if to the Company, at

 

 

 

Incentra Solutions, Inc.
1140 Pearl Street
Boulder, CO 80302
Attn: Chief Executive Officer

and, if to the holder, at the most recent address provided to the Company by the holder for such purpose; or, in each case, to the most recent address, specified by written notice, given to the sender pursuant to this paragraph.

          Without limiting any of Payee’s rights under this Note, Payee shall have the right, which right may be exercised at Payee’s sole and absolute discretion, at any time to convert (the “Conversion”) all or any portion of the principal and/or accrued but unpaid interest then outstanding under this Note into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), as shall be provided herein. For purposes of this Note, the price at which each share of Company Common Stock may be acquired upon any Conversion shall be $1.00 (the “Conversion Price”). Payee may exercise the Conversion right hereunder by giving written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company of the exercise of such right and stating the name or names in which the stock certificate or stock certificates for the shares of Company Common Stock are to be issued and the address to which such certificates shall be delivered. If prepayment of principal and/or interest is permitted under this Note, then the Company shall provide Payee at least ten (10) days’ advance written notice (each, a “Prepayment Notice”) of any proposed prepayment (each, a “Proposed Prepayment”) specifying the date of prepayment (each, a “Prepayment Date”) and the amounts that are proposed to be prepaid. In addition to the conversion rights set forth above, the Payee shall have the right, which right may be exercised at Payee’s sole and absolute discretion, to convert (a “Prepayment Conversion”) all or any portion of such Proposed Prepayment amount to shares of the Company Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $1.00 (the “Prepayment Conversion Price”). Payee may exercise the Prepayment Conversion right hereunder as to any Proposed Prepayment by giving written notice (the “Prepayment Conversion Notice”) to the Company of the exercise of such right at any time during the ten (10) day period after the date on which Payee receives the Prepayment Notice (the “Prepayment

3


Conversion Exercise Period”) and stating the name or names in which the stock certificate or stock certificates for the shares of Company Common Stock are to be issued and the address to which such certificates shall be delivered. The number of shares of Company Common Stock that shall be issuable upon conversion of the Note shall equal the amount of principal and/or interest requested by Payee to be converted (the “Conversion Amount”) divided by the Conversion Price (or the Prepayment Conversion Price, as applicable) in effect on the date the Conversion Notice (or the Prepayment Conversion Notice, as applicable) is given (the “Conversion Date”). Within ten (10) business days after the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver by hand against a signed receipt therefor or by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, to the address designated in the Conversion Notice (or the Prepayment Conversion Notice, as applicable), a stock certificate or stock certificates of the Company representing the number of shares of Company Common Stock to which Payee is entitled and, in exchange for this Note, an executed replacement Convertible Promissory Note representing the balance of the Note not converted into shares of Company Common Stock. Any Conversion of principal hereunder shall be applied to the remaining installments of principal in the order of their maturities, and the payment schedule of the replacement Convertible Promissory Note shall reflect such application. In the case of any capital reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization of, including but not limited to any stock split or stock dividend issued in respect of, the Company Common Stock, then the conversion privilege in effect immediately before such action shall be adjusted so that the Payee may receive the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization by a holder of the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization; and any such resulting or surviving corporation shall expressly assume the obligation to deliver, upon the exercise of the conversion privilege, such shares, securities or property as the Payee may be entitled to and to make provisions for the protection of the conversion rights as herein provided. In case securities or property other than shares of Company Common Stock shall be issuable or deliverable upon conversion as aforesaid, then all references in this Note to the Company Common Stock shall be deemed to apply, so far as appropriate and as nearly as practicable, to such other securities or property. The Company will not, by amendment of its Organizational Documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, 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 Note and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Payee against impairment. No fractional shares of the Company Common Stock are to be issued upon the Conversion (or the Prepayment Conversion, as applicable) of this Note. In lieu of delivering any fractional shares to which the Payee would otherwise be entitled, the number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. The Company warrants and agrees that it shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Company Common Stock sufficient to effect Conversion (or Prepayment Conversion, as applicable) of this Note. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, any portion of the payment which is due on a Payment Due Date or a Prepayment Date, as applicable, that is not converted by Payee pursuant this provision shall be paid in full to Payee on such Payment Due Date or Prepayment Date, as applicable.

          This Note is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of, and enforced by the courts located within, the State of Colorado.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Note under seal as of the date first written above.

The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 3.3 below, include (a) other securities of the Company (the “Additional Shares”) which are held by (i) officers or directors of the Company who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, are entitled to include their securities in any such registration or (ii) other persons who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, including the Existing Rights Agreements, are entitled to include their securities in any such registration (the “Other Stockholders”), and (b) securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.

                    2.3 Underwriting.

                    (a) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to other Holders referred to in Section 2.1 above. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein and subject to the limitations provided herein. A Holder may elect to include in such underwriting all or a part of the Registrable Securities he holds.

                    (b) The Company shall (together with all Holders, officers, directors and Other Stockholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) negotiate

4


and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    2.4 Limitations on Shares to be Included. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the representative of the underwriters of a firm commitment underwriting advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: first, among the Other Stockholders that offer securities being sold pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements; second, among the Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration; third, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; and thereafter, the number of shares that may be included in the registration statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all officers or directors or remaining Other Stockholders, in each case in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration at the time of filing the registration statement. If the Company or any Holder, officer, director or Other Stockholder who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw such Person’s Registrable Securities or Additional Shares therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration. No Registrable Securities or Additional Shares excluded from such registration by reason of such underwriters’ marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Company or underwriter or underwriters selected as provided above may round the number of Registrable Securities of any Holder which may be included in such registration to the nearest 100 shares.

                    2.5 Additional Demand Registration. If with respect to the last registration permitted to be exercised by the Holders of Registrable Securities under Section 2.1, the Holders are unable to register all of their Registrable Securities because of the operation of Section 2.4 hereof, such Holders shall be entitled to require the Company to effect one additional registration to afford the Holders an opportunity to register all such Registrable Securities. Such additional registration shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.

          3. Company Registration.

                    3.1 At any time after August 14, 2009, if the Company shall determine to register under the Securities Act any of its equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising any

5


demand registration rights, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or the Form SB-2 filed on or about June 29, 2004, (or any successor forms thereto), the Company will:

 

 

 

 

 

          (a) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws); and

 

 

 

 

 

          (b) include in such registration (and, subject to Section 2.1(b)(i), any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or request, made by any Holder within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notice from the Company described in clause (a) above, except as set forth in Section 3.3 below. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities.

                    3.2 Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any officers, directors or Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    3.3 Limitations on Shares to be Included. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the representative of the underwriters of a firm commitment underwriting advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation or elimination on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) limit the number of or eliminate the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: first, if such underwritten offering shall have been initiated by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; second, among the Other Stockholders that offer securities being sold pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements; third, among the

6


Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration; fourth, if such underwritten offering shall not have been initiated by the Company, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; and thereafter, the number of shares that may be included in the registration statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all officers or directors or remaining Other Stockholders, in each case in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration at the time of filing the registration statement. If any Holder of Registrable Securities or any officer, director or Other Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

          4. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, except that Selling Expenses shall be borne pro rata by each Holder in accordance with the number of shares sold.

          5. Registration Procedures.

                    5.1 In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof and will, at its expense:

 

 

 

 

 

          (a) use all reasonable efforts to keep such registration effective for a period of 180 days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; provided, however, that the Company will keep such registration effective for longer than 180 days if the costs and expenses associated with such extended registration are borne by the selling Holders;

 

 

 

 

 

          (b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

 

 

 

 

 

          (c) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;

 

 

 

 

 

          (d) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of

7


 

 

 

 

 

which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller 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 shares, 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 or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;

 

 

 

 

 

          (e) List all such Registrable Securities registered in such registration on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

          (ii) “comfort” letters signed by the Company’s independent public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and accountants’ “comfort” letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities;


 

 

 

 

 

          (i) Furnish to each selling Holder upon request a copy of all documents filed with and all correspondence from or to the Commission in connection with any such offering; and

          (j) Make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

                    5.2 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the Holders proposing to register Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and their intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    5.3 In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under this Agreement, the Company will give the Holders on whose behalf such Registrable Securities are to be registered and their underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to review such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each such Holder such access to the Company’s books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, its counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders or such underwriters or their respective counsel, in order to conduct a reasonable and diligent investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.

          6. Indemnification.

                    6.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each Person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other

9


expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.

                    6.2 Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by him are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company (other than such Holder) or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other such Holder and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each Person controlling such Holder or other stockholder, against all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter or control Person, each other Holder and each of their officers, directors and partners and each Person controlling such Holder or other stockholder for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein.

                    6.3 Notices of Claims, Procedures, etc. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Party’s sole expense, 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 under this Section 7 unless such failure is prejudicial to the ability of Indemnifying Party to defend such claim or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such litigation, proceeding or other action if (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, or (ii) the named parties in any such claims (including any impleaded parties) include any such Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been advised in writing (in suitable detail) by counsel to the Indemnified Party either (A) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party

10


which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (B) that there is a conflict of interest by virtue of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties having common counsel, in any of which events, the legal fees and expenses of a single counsel for all Indemnified Parties with respect to each such claim, defense thereof, or counterclaims thereto shall be borne by Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably required and furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

          7. Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

          8. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted by the Company under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of any Registrable Securities; provided that the Company is given written notice at or prior to the time of said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of a Holder under this Agreement to the Company and other Holders in effect at the time of transfer under all effective agreements.

          9. Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in Section 2 or Section 3 above after the earlier of, as to each Holder, the time at which such Holder (i) has sold all shares of Common Stock to which this agreement applies, or (ii) can sell all shares of Common Stock held by it and to which this agreement applies without restriction in compliance with Rule 144(k).

          10. Exchange Act Compliance. So long as the Company remains subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and will take all actions reasonably necessary to enable holders of Registrable Securities to sell such securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the provisions of (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be

11


amended from time to time, if applicable or (c) any similar rules or regulations hereunder adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. After any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A, the Company will, to the extent allowed by law, cause any restrictive legends to be removed and any transfer restrictions to be rescinded with respect to such Registrable Securities. In order to permit a Holder to sell the same, if it so desires, pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated by the Commission (or any successor to such rule), the Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission applicable in connection with use of Rule 144A (or any successor thereto). Prospective transferees of Registrable Securities that are Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined in Rule 144A) that would be purchasing such Registrable Securities in reliance upon Rule 144A may request from the Company information regarding the business, operations and assets of the Company. Within five (5) business days of any such request, the Company shall deliver to any such prospective transferee copies of annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements of the Company and such other information as may be required to be supplied by the Company for it to comply with Rule 144A.

          11. No Conflict of Rights. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which grants, or modifies any existing agreement with respect to its securities to grant, to the holder of its securities equal or higher priority to the rights granted to the Holders under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

          12. Lockup Agreement. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations hereunder, the Holders of Registrable Securities agree in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities (which includes Registrable Securities of at least $75,000 in value) pursuant to Section 3 hereof that, upon the request of the Company not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than those shares included in such registration) without the prior written consent of the Company for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company may specify.

          13. Benefits of Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, legal representatives and heirs. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any other Person.

          14. Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding among the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all existing agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, among them. No alteration or modification of any provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed, on the one hand, by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and, on the other, by the Company.

12


          15. Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

          16. Notices. All notices, offers, acceptances and other communications required or permitted to be given or to otherwise be made to any party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument delivered by hand, first class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telecopier or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, if to the Company, at 1140 Pearl Street, Boulder, Colorado 80302, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, with a copy to Reed Guest, Esq., 94 Underhill Road, Orinda, CA 94563, and if to the Shareholder, at the address set forth next to his name on Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof, or at such other address or addresses as may have been furnished the Company in writing.

Any party may change the address to which each such notice or communication shall be sent by giving written notice to the other parties of such new address in the manner provided herein for giving notice.

          17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the provisions, policies or principles thereof respecting conflict or choice of laws.

          18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          19. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is determined to be illegal, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof which shall be severable and enforceable according to their terms and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          (a) investing the Executive’s assets in any company or other entity in a manner not prohibited by Section 7(d) and in such form or manner as shall not require any material activities on the Executive’s part in connection with the operations or affairs of the companies or other entities in which such investments are made; or

 

 

 

          (b) engaging in religious, charitable or other community or non-profit activities that do not impair the Executive’s ability to fulfill the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

          6. Termination. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate under the following circumstances set forth in this Section 6.

 

 

 

 

          (a) Termination by the Employer for Cause. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated for “Cause” without further liability on the part of the Employer, effective immediately upon a vote of the managers of the Employer and written notice to the Executive. Only the following shall constitute “Cause” for such termination:

 

 

 

 

 

          (i) dishonest or fraudulent statements or acts of the Executive with respect to the Employer or any affiliate of the Employer;

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) the Executive’s conviction of, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere for, (A) a felony or (B) any misdemeanor (excluding minor traffic violations) involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty or fraud;

 

 

 

 

 

          (iii) gross negligence, willful misconduct or insubordination of the Executive with respect to the Employer or any affiliate of the Employer; or

 

 

 

 

 

          (iv) material breach by the Executive of any of the Executive’s obligations under this Agreement,.

3


 

 

 

          (b) Termination by the Executive. The Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated unilaterally by the Executive by written notice to Employer at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination.

 

 

 

          (c) Termination by Executive For Good Reason. The Executive may, at his option, terminate Executive’s employment for “Good Reason” by giving a notice of termination to Employer in the event that: (i) there is a failure of Employer (or successor employer) to promptly pay Executive’s salary or additional compensation or benefits hereunder in accordance with this Agreement in any material respect, (ii) Executive is assigned duties substantially inconsistent with his title without Executive’s prior written consent, (iii) Executive’s principal place of employment is assigned to a geographic location not agreed to by Executive, or (iv) any other material violation or breach by Employer of this Agreement. It shall also be considered Good Reason for termination by Executive if, in the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), any successor employer fails to fully assume Employer’s obligations under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) a dissolution or liquidation of the Employer; (B) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Employer’s assets; (C) a merger or consolidation involving the Employer in which stockholders of the Employer immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the voting power of the Employer or its successor immediately after such transaction; or (D) a sale or other transfer of capital stock of Employer in one or a series of related transactions whereby an individual or “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which did not previously have direct or indirect “control” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of Employer acquires such control.

 

 

 

          (d) Termination by the Employer Without Cause. Subject to the payment of Termination Benefits pursuant to Section 6(e), the Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Employer without Cause upon written notice to the Executive (a termination “Without Cause”).

 

 

 

          (e) Certain Termination Benefits. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or otherwise required by law, all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under this Agreement shall terminate on the date of termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement, if and only if such termination is consistent with termination For Cause under Section 6(a), or unilateral termination by the Executive under Section 6(b) above. In the event of termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer is for Good Reason pursuant to Section 6(c) or Without Cause pursuant to Section 6(d) above, the Employer shall provide to the Executive the following termination benefits (“Termination Benefits”):

4


 

 

 

          (i) payment of the Executive’s Salary at the rate then in effect pursuant to Section 4(a) for the period from the date of termination until the date which is six (6) months after the date of termination; and

 

 

 

          (ii) continuation of group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly known as “COBRA”), with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Employer and the Executive as in effect on the date of termination for twelve (12) months and at a cost of 102% of premium provided under COBRA, for up to an additional six (6) months.

 

 

 

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6(e) shall be construed to affect the Executive’s right to receive COBRA continuation entirely at the Executive’s own cost to the extent that the Executive may continue to be entitled to COBRA continuation after the Executive’s right to cost sharing under Section 6(d)(ii) ceases.

 

 

 

          (f) Disability. If the Executive shall be disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions under this Agreement with reasonable accommodation, the Employer may remove the Executive from any responsibilities and/or reassign the Executive to another position with the Employer during the period of such disability. Notwithstanding any such removal or reassignment, the Executive shall continue to receive all payments and benefits contemplated under this Agreement the same as if the Executive employment with Employer was terminated Without Cause (in which case Executive would receive all Termination Benefits, less any disability pay or sick pay benefits to which the Executive may be entitled under the Employer’s policies). If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executive’s then existing position or positions with reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of the Employer shall, submit to the Employer a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Employer to whom the Executive or the Executive’s guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Employer’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 6(f) shall be construed to waive the Executive’s rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

7. Confidential Information, Noncompetition and Cooperation.

 

 

 

          (a) Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the Employer which is of value to the Employer in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Employer. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial information, reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; designs, processes or formulae; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans, prospects and opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Employer. Confidential Information includes information developed by the Executive in the course of the Executive’s employment by the Employer, as well as other information to which the Executive may have access in connection with the Executive’s employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential information of others with which the Employer has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to breach of the Executive’s duties under Section 7(b).

 

 

 

          (b) Confidentiality. The Executive understands and agrees that the Executive’s employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Executive and the Employer with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Executive’s employment with the Employer and after its termination, the Executive will keep in confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Employer, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Executive’s duties to the Employer.

 

 

 

          (c) Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Executive by the Employer or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executive’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Employer. The Executive will return to the Employer all such materials and property as and when requested by the Employer. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination.

 

 

 

          (d) Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. Without the prior written consent of Employer, during the period that Executive is employed by Employer and for five (5) years thereafter, the Executive (i) will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage, participate, assist or invest in any Competing Business (as

6


 

 

 

hereinafter defined); (ii) will refrain from directly or indirectly recruiting or otherwise soliciting, inducing or influencing any person to leave employment with the Employer; and (iii) will refrain from soliciting or encouraging any customer or supplier to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Employer. The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(d) are intended to protect the Employer’s interest in its Confidential Information and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. The Executive’s obligation to keep the Confidential Information confidential expires at the same time as indicated in the first sentence of this subparagraph (d). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competing Business” shall mean any business that provides or intends to provide the same or similar types of services or products as those provided by Employer, its parent company, or any of such parent company’s subsidiaries during Executive’s employment with the Company in any geographic area then served by Employer, Employer’s parent company, or any of such parent company’s subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may own up to two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation.

 

 

 

          (e) Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executive’s use or disclosure of information or the Executive’s engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Employer that the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment with the Employer and the performance of the Executive’s proposed duties for the Employer will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executive’s work for the Employer, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Employer any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.

 

 

 

          (f) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Employer in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Employer which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer. The Executive’s full reasonable cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Employer at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executive’s employment, the Executive also shall cooperate reasonably with the Employer in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or

7


 

 

 

occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executive’s performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 7(f) and shall pay the Executive for his time at his annual salary rate in effect at the time of the termination of his employment.

 

 

 

          (g) Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Employer which might result from any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 7, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, the Employer shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual monetary yet sustained by Employer.

          8. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executive’s employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or entity other than the Executive or the Employer may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity’s agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided, that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.

          9. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce Section 8 of this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Colorado. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive and Employer both (a) submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consent to service of process; and (c) waive any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.

          10. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to any related subject matter.

8


          11. Assignment; Successors and Assigns, etc. Neither the Employer nor the Executive may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that the Employer may assign its rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Executive in the event that the Employer shall effect a reorganization, consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, partnership, organization or other entity, or transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other corporation, partnership, organization or other entity. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Employer and the Executive, their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns.

          12. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

          13. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

          14. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Employer or, in the case of the Employer, at 1140 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302, ATTN: Thomas P. Sweeney III, and shall be effective on the date of delivery in person or by courier or three (3) days after the date mailed.

          15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Employer.

          16. Governing Law. This is an Illinois contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such State.

          17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

          WHEREAS, the Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative have agreed to deposit in escrow certain funds and wish such deposit to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

          WHEREAS, the purpose of the escrow is to secure certain obligations of Helio Solutions, Inc. related to net working capital and indemnification pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and more specifically described therein;

          WHEREAS, the Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative hereby acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent has not reviewed, and is not a party to, the Agreement and Plan of Merger; and is not responsible for any of the duties or responsibilities set forth therein.

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1. Appointment. The Parent and Shareholders’ Representative hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

          2. Escrow Fund. Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement, Parent is depositing with the Escrow Agent the sum indicated as the escrow deposit on Schedule 1 (the Escrow Deposit). The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Deposit and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall invest and reinvest the Escrow Deposit and the proceeds thereof (the Escrow Fund) as directed in Section 3.

          3. Investment of Escrow Fund. Except as Parent and Shareholders’ Representative may from time to time jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing (a “Joint Instruction”), the Escrow Funds shall be invested in a trust deposit investment vehicle with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Fund”) until all of the monies in the Escrow Fund have been liquidated or distributed pursuant to the terms hereof. Such Joint Instruction, if any, referred to in the foregoing sentence shall specify the type and identity of the investments to be purchased and/or sold. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of investments through the facilities of its own trading or

1


capital markets operations or those of any affiliated entity. An agency fee may be assessed in connection with each transaction. The Escrow Agent is authorized to liquidate in accordance with its customary procedures any portion of the Escrow Funds consisting of investments to provide for payments required to be made under this Agreement.

          5. Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or

2


parties. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to the Parent or Shareholders’ Representative. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys (and shall be liable only for the careful selection of any such agent or attorney) and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the other parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

          6. Succession. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving ten (10) days advance notice in writing of such resignation to the other parties hereto specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold an amount equal to any amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of the Escrow Agreement. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all the escrow business of the Escrow Agent’s escrow line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further act.

          7. Fees. The Parent and Shareholders’ Representative agree jointly and severally to (i) pay the Escrow Agent upon execution of this Escrow Agreement and from time to time thereafter reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, which unless otherwise agreed in writing shall be as described in Schedule 1 attached hereto, and (ii) pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all expenses, disbursements and advances, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in connection with the preparation, execution, performance, delivery, modification and termination of this Escrow Agreement.

3


and expenses of in house or outside counsel) arising out of or in connection with (i) the Escrow Agent’s execution and performance of this Escrow Agreement, except in the case of any indemnitee to the extent that such loss, liability or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee, or (ii) its following any instructions or other directions from the Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative, except to the extent that its following any such instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing indemnities shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

          9. Account Opening Information/TINs.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

For accounts opened in the US:

          To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When an account is opened, we will ask for information that will allow us to identify relevant parties.

For non-US accounts:

          To help in the fight against the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities we are required along with all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When you open an account, we will ask for information that will allow us to identify you.

The Parent and the Shareholders’ Representative each represent that its correct TIN assigned by the IRS, or any other taxing authority, is set forth in the delivered documents, as well as in the Substitute IRS Form W-9 set forth in the signature page of this Agreement.

To the extent that any portion of the principal amount of the Escrow Funds represents part or all of the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement, Shareholders’ Representative shall provide all information required for Escrow Agent to perform tax reporting on IRS Form 1099-B on or prior to each distribution to the Shareholders’ Representative; which shall include a fully executed W-9, W-8, or any other applicable tax form then required by the IRS. Unless otherwise directed in a joint written instruction executed by the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent, Escrow Agent shall report to the IRS and as appropriate withhold and remit taxes to the IRS or to any other taxing authority as required by law based upon the information or documentation so provided and when schedule and documentation is not properly and timely provided prior to payment of principal to the Shareholders’ Representative. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely

4


on such information and documentation and shall not be responsible for and shall be indemnified by Shareholders’ Representative for any additional tax, interest or penalty arising from the inaccuracy or late receipt of such information or documentation.

[Shareholders’ Representative shall provide Escrow Agent on or before the effective date of the Escrow Agreement and at appropriate times thereafter, including prior to any disbursement, a detailed schedule indicating the allocation of the disbursement amount from the Escrow Funds between (i) principal, (ii) imputed interest to be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT or 1042S or (iii) Original Issue Discount (“OID”) to be reported on IRS Form 1099-OID along with the relevant payee tax information, documentation, and proportionate interest thereof.. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on such information provided by Shareholders’ Representative and shall not be responsible for and shall be indemnified by Shareholders’ Representative for any additional tax, interest or penalty arising from the inaccuracy or late receipt of such information. In addition, all interest or other income earned under the Escrow Agreement shall be allocated to the Parent and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS, or any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow by the Parent whether or not said income has been distributed during such calendar year. Any other tax returns required to be filed will be prepared and filed by the Shareholders’ Representative and/or the Parent with the IRS and any other taxing authority as required by law, including but not limited to any applicable reporting or withholding pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (“FIRPTA”). Shareholders’ Representative and Parent acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the preparation and/or filing of any tax return or any applicable FIRPTA reporting or withholding with respect to the Escrow Funds or any income earned by the Escrow Funds. Parent further acknowledges and agrees that any taxes payable from the income earned on the investment of any sums held in the Escrow Funds shall be paid by the Parent respectively as required by law. In the absence of written direction from the Shareholders’ Representative and Parent, all proceeds of the Escrow Fund shall be retained in the Escrow Fund and reinvested from time to time by the Escrow Agent as provided in this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it is required to withhold, including but not limited to required withholding in the absence of proper tax documentation, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

5


given on the date received by the Escrow Agent. In the event that the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine that an emergency exists, the Escrow Agent may use such other means of communication as the Escrow Agent deems appropriate. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which the Escrow Agent located at the notice address set forth on Schedule 1 is authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

          11. Security Procedures. In the event funds transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement, as indicated in Schedule 1 attached hereto), whether in writing or by telecopier, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on schedule 2 hereto (Schedule 2), and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the authorized representatives identified in Schedule 2, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of your executive officers, (Executive Officers), which shall include the titles of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Financial Officer, as the Escrow Agent may select. Such “Executive Officer” shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed Incumbency Certificate, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Parent or the Shareholders’ Representative to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank designated. All funds transfer instructions must be executed by the individual(s) listed on Schedule 2 hereto. The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.

          12. Miscellaneous. The provisions of this Escrow Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto. Neither this Escrow Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by any party, except as provided in Section 6, without the prior consent of the other parties. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of California. The parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Escrow Agreement. No party to this Escrow Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Escrow Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, floods, strikes, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control. This Escrow Agreement may be executed in one or

6


more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Escrow Agreement as of the date set forth in Schedule 1.

          WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the sale to the Purchaser of a Secured Term Note in the aggregate principal amount of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) (the “Note”);

          WHEREAS, the Company wishes to issue a penny warrant to the Purchaser to purchase up to 3,750,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth therein) in connection with Purchaser’s purchase of the Note;

          WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to purchase the Note and the Warrant (as defined in Section 2) on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell the Note and Warrant to Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations, warranties and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Sell and Purchase. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3), the Company agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, the Note and the Warrant. The offering of the Note and the Warrant purchased on the Closing Date shall be known as the “Offering.” A form of the Note is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The Note will mature on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note). Collectively, the Note and the Warrant (as defined in Section 2) and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are referred to as the “Securities.”

2. Fees and Warrant. On the Closing Date:

 

 

 

 

(a)

The Company will issue and deliver to the Purchaser a Warrant to purchase up to 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Offering (the “Warrant”) pursuant to Section 1 hereof. The Warrant must be delivered on the Closing Date. A form of Warrant is annexed hereto as Exhibit B. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are hereinafter as referred to as the “Warrant Shares”.

Subject to the terms of Section 2(c) below, the Company shall pay to Laurus Capital Management, LLC, the investment manager of the Purchaser (“LCM”), a non-refundable payment in an amount equal to $415,000 (the “LCM Payment”) which LCM Payment is intended to defray certain of LCM’s due diligence, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the entering into of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and all related matters.

 

 

 

 

(c)

The LCM Paymentshall be paid at closing out of funds held pursuant to a Funds Escrow Agreement of even date herewith among the Company, Purchaser and an Escrow Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Funds Escrow Agreement”) and a disbursement letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Disbursement Letter”).

3. Closing, Delivery and Payment.

          3.1 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”), shall take place on such date, and at such time or place, as the Company and Purchaser shall mutually agree (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”).

4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:

          4.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Note and the Warrant to be issued in connection with this Agreement, (iii) the Master Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company and the Purchaser (as amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Master Security Agreement”), (iv) the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Warrant dated as of the date hereof between the Company and the Purchaser (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), (v) the Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of the date

2


hereof made by certain Subsidiaries of the Company (as amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Subsidiary Guaranty”), (vi) the Stock Pledge Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company and the Purchaser (as amended, modified and/or or supplemented from time to time, the “Stock Pledge Agreement”), (vii) the Grant of Security Interests in Patents and Trademarks dated as of the date hereof among the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company and the Purchaser (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “IP Grant”), (viii) the Funds Escrow Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Company, the Purchaser and the escrow agent referred to therein (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Funds Escrow Agreement”) and (ix) all other agreements related to this Agreement and the Securities and referred to herein (the preceding clauses (ii) through (ix), collectively, the “Related Agreements”), to issue and sell the Note, to issue and sell the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so has not, or could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken individually and as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

          4.2 Subsidiaries. Each direct and indirect Subsidiary of the Company, the direct owner of such Subsidiary and its percentage ownership thereof, is set forth on Schedule 4.2. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Subsidiary” of any person or entity means (i) a corporation or other entity whose shares of stock or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power (other than stock or other ownership interests having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) to elect a majority of the directors of such corporation, or other persons or entities performing similar functions for such person or entity, are owned, directly or indirectly, by such person or entity or (ii) a corporation or other entity in which such person or entity owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the equity interests at such time.

          4.3 Capitalization; Voting Rights.

 

 

 

 

(a)

The authorized capital stock of the Company, as of the date hereof consists of 205,000,000 shares, of which 200,000,000 are shares of Common Stock, 13,087,142 shares of which are issued and outstanding, and 5,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, 2,450,457 of which shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding.

3


 

 

 

 

 

rights (including conversion or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal), proxy or stockholder agreements, or arrangements or agreements of any kind for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of any of its securities. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.3, neither the offer, issuance or sale of the Note or the Warrant, or the issuance of any of the Warrant Shares, nor the consummation of any transaction contemplated hereby will result in a change in the price or number of any securities of the Company outstanding, under anti-dilution or other similar provisions contained in or affecting any such securities.

 

 

 

 

(c)

All issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock: (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; and (ii) were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities.

 

 

 

 

(d)

The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of the Common Stock are as stated in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”). The Warrant Shares have been duly and validly reserved for issuance. When issued in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Company’s Charter, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however, that the Securities may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time a transfer is proposed.

          4.4 Authorization; Binding Obligations. All corporate action on the part of the Company (including its officers and directors) necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder and under the other Related Agreements at the Closing and, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Note and Warrant has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. This Agreement and the other Related Agreements, when executed and delivered, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except:

 

 

 

 

(a)

as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights; and

 

 

 

 

(b)

general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.

The sale of the Note is not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with. The issuance of the Warrant and the subsequent exercise of the Warrant for Warrant Shares are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with.

4


          4.5 Liabilities; Solvency. (a) To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material contingent liabilities, except current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and liabilities disclosed in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) made prior to the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Exchange Act Filings”), copies of which have been provided to the Purchaser.

 

 

 

          (b) Both before and after giving effect to (a) the transactions contemplated hereby that are to be consummated on the Closing Date, (b) the disbursement of the proceeds of, or the assumption of the liability in respect of, the Note pursuant to the instructions or agreement of the Company and (c) the payment and accrual of all transaction costs in connection with the foregoing, the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company, is and will be, Solvent. For purposes of this Section 4.5(b), “Solvent” means, with respect to any person on a particular date, that on such date (a) the fair value of the property of such person is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of such person; (b) the present fair salable value of the assets of such person is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such person on its debts as they become absolute and matured; (c) such person does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such person’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; and (d) such person is not engaged in a business or transaction, and is not about to engage in a business or transaction, for which such person’s property would constitute and unreasonably small capital. The amount of contingent liabilities (such as litigation, guaranties and pension plan liabilities) at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at the time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

          4.6 Agreements; Action. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6:

 

 

 

 

(a)

there are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound which may involve: (i) obligations (contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to, the Company in excess of $100,000 (other than obligations of, or payments to, the Company arising from purchase, sale or license agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business); or (ii) the transfer or license of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right to or from the Company (other than licenses arising from the purchase of “off the shelf” or other standard products); or (iii) provisions restricting the development, manufacture or distribution of the Company’s products or services; or (iv) indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of proprietary rights.

5


 

 

 

 

 

authorized or made any distribution upon or with respect to any class or series of its capital stock; (ii) incurred any indebtedness for money borrowed or any other liabilities (other than ordinary course obligations) individually in excess of $100,000 or, in the case of indebtedness and/or liabilities individually less than $100,000, in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate; (iii) made any loans or advances to any person not in excess, individually or in the aggregate, of $100,000, other than ordinary course advances for travel expenses; or (iv) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its assets or rights valued in excess of $100,000, other than in the ordinary course of business.

 

 

 

 

(c)

For the purposes of subsections (a) and (b) above, all indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts and proposed transactions involving the same person or entity (including persons or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated therewith) shall be aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of such subsections.

          4.7 Obligations to Related Parties. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, there are no obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to officers, directors, stockholders or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than:

The Company and each Subsidiary shall instruct the insurance carriers that in the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers shall make payment for such loss to the Company and/or the Subsidiary and Purchaser jointly. In the event that as of the date of receipt of each loss recovery upon any such insurance, the Purchaser has not declared an Event of Default with

The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Purchaser, unless expressly agreed to by the Purchaser or unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may disclose Purchaser’s identity and the terms of this Agreement and the Related Agreements to its current and prospective debt and equity financing sources. The Purchaser shall be permitted to discuss, distribute or otherwise transfer any non-public information of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the Purchaser’s possession now or in the future to potential or actual (i) direct or indirect investors in the Purchaser and (ii) third party assignees or transferees of all or a portion of the obligations of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder and under the Related Agreements, to the extent that such investor or assignee or transferee enters into a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of the Company in such form as may be necessary to address the Company’s Regulation FD or other securities law requirements.

FORM OF OPINION

          1. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [Nevada] [other jurisdiction] and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.

          2. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Agreement and the Related Agreements. All corporate action on the part of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and its officers, directors and stockholders necessary has been taken for: (i) the authorization of the Agreement and the Related Agreements and the performance of all obligations of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries thereunder; and (ii) the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Securities pursuant to the Agreement and the Related Agreements. The Warrant Shares, when issued pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and the Related Agreements and upon delivery shall be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non assessable.

          3.The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries of the Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions on its part contemplated by any thereof, will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both:

          (a) Violate the provisions of their respective Charter or bylaws; or

          (b) Violate any judgment, decree, order or award of any court binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

          (c) Violate any [insert jurisdictions in which counsel is qualified] or federal law

          4. The Agreement and the Related Agreements will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (to the extent such person is a party thereto), and are enforceable against each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective terms, except:

          (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights; and

          (b) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.

          5. To such counsel’s knowledge, the sale of the Note is not subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with. To such counsel’s knowledge, the sale of the Warrant and the subsequent exercise of the Warrant

E-1


for Warrant Shares are not subject to any preemptive rights or, to such counsel’s knowledge, rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with.

          6. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in the Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Securities on the Closing Date will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. To such counsel’s knowledge, neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Agreement or any Related Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions.

          7. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to such counsel’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that prevents the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. To such counsel’s knowledge, the Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality; nor is there any action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate.

          8. The terms and provisions of the Master Security Agreement and the Stock Pledge Agreement create a valid security interest in favor of Calliope, in the respective rights, title and interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries in and to the Collateral (as defined in each of the Master Security Agreement and the Stock Pledge Agreement).Each UCC-1 Financing Statement naming the Company or any Subsidiary thereof as debtor and Calliope as secured party are in proper form for filing and assuming that such UCC-1 Financing Statements have been filed with the Secretary of State of [Nevada], the security interest created under the Master Security Agreement will constitute a perfected security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in favor of Calliope in respect of the Collateral that can be perfected by filing a financing statement. After giving effect to the delivery to Calliope of the stock certificates representing the ownership interests of each Subsidiary of the Company (together with effective endorsements) and assuming the continued possession by Calliope of such stock certificates in the State of New York, the security interest created in favor of Calliope under the Stock Pledge Agreement constitutes a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in such ownership interests (and the proceeds thereof) in favor of Calliope,. No filings, registrations or recordings are required in order to perfect (or maintain the perfection or priority of) the security interest created under the Stock Pledge Agreement in respect of such ownership interests.

The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of this Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

6. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available,
solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.

7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights
evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, and with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes, will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These
registration rights are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 31, 2007 entered into by the Company and the initial Holder of this Warrant, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

10. Maximum Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to
exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock

6


beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. For purposes of the second preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of any given date. The limitations set forth herein (x) shall automatically become null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) and (y) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of no less than sixty-one (61) days prior written notice to the Company; provided, however, that, such written notice of waiver shall only be effective if delivered at a time when no indebtedness (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees and charges) of the Company of which the Holder or any of its Affiliates was, at any time, the owner, directly or indirectly is outstanding.

11. Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder hereby agrees that during the
period on and after the Issue Date and prior to the date that is the one year anniversary of the Issue Date, it shall not sell any Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Warrant. After the one year anniversary of the Issue Date, the Holder hereby agrees not to sell on any trading day such number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Warrant that is in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the twenty-two (22) day trading period (the “Period”) immediately preceding each such sale by Holder; provided, however, that the volume of the day of any sale up to, but not including, the volume as to any sale by Holder and any volume thereafter, shall be included in any Period. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the foregoing restrictions (a) shall not be applicable and shall have no further force or effect following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under and as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among the Company and Laurus (as amended, restated modified and/or supplemented from time to time) and (b) shall not apply to transfers in a private transaction including, without limitation, as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the transferee thereof agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein.

7



12. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of this Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose
of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

13. Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may
treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

14. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed
by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.

15. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state of New York; provided, however, that the Holder may choose to waive this provision and bring an action outside the State of New York. The individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.

MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

 

To:

Calliope Capital Corporation

 

c/o Laurus Capital Management, LLC

 

335 Madison Avenue, 10th Floor

 

New York, New York 10017

Date: July 31, 2007

To Whom It May Concern:

          1. To secure the payment of all Obligations (as hereafter defined), Incentra Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), each of the other undersigned parties (other than Calliope Capital Corporation ( “Calliope”), and each other entity that is required to enter into this Master Security Agreement (each an “Assignor” and, collectively, the “Assignors”) hereby assigns and grants to Calliope a continuing security interest in all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by any Assignor, or in which any Assignor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (the “Collateral”): all cash, cash equivalents, accounts, accounts receivable, deposit accounts, inventory, equipment, goods, fixtures, documents, instruments (including, without limitation, promissory notes), contract rights, commercial tort claims set forth on Exhibit B to this Master Security Agreement, general intangibles (including, without limitation, payment intangibles and an absolute right to license on terms no less favorable than those currently in effect among our affiliates, but not own intellectual property), chattel paper, supporting obligations, investment property (including, without limitation, all equity interests owned by any Assignor), letter-of-credit rights, trademarks, trademark applications, tradestyles, patents, patent applications, copyrights, copyright applications and other intellectual property in which any Assignor now has or hereafter may acquire any right, title or interest, all proceeds and products thereof (including, without limitation, proceeds of insurance) and all additions, accessions and substitutions thereto or therefore. In the event any Assignor wishes to finance the acquisition in the ordinary course of business of any hereafter acquired equipment and has obtained a commitment from a financing source to finance such equipment from an unrelated third party, Laurus agrees to release its security interest on such hereafter acquired equipment so financed by such third party financing source. Except as otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning provided such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement (defined below). All items of Collateral which are defined in the UCC shall have the meanings set forth in the UCC. For purposes hereof, the term “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as the same may, from time to time, be in effect in the State of New York; provided, that in the event that, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, any or all of the attachment, perfection or priority of, or remedies with respect to, Caliope’s security interest in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the term “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions of this Agreement relating to such attachment, perfection, priority or remedies and


for purposes of definitions related to such provisions; provided further, that to the extent that the UCC is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles or Divisions of the UCC, the definition of such term contained in Article or Division 9 shall govern.

          2. The term “Obligations” as used herein shall mean and include all debts, liabilities and obligations owing by each Assignor to Calliope arising under, out of, or in connection with: (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between the Company and Calliope (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) the Related Agreements referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and each Related Agreement, as each may be amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Documents”), and in connection with any documents, instruments or agreements relating to or executed in connection with the Documents or any documents, instruments or agreements referred to therein or otherwise, including, without limitation, obligations and liabilities of each Assignor for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that accrue after the commencement of any case by or against such Assignor under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding (collectively, the “Debtor Relief Laws”), and in connection with any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any Assignor to Calliope, whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise, in each case, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Obligations in any case commenced by or against any Assignor under Debtor Relief Laws.

          3. Each Assignor hereby jointly and severally represents, warrants and covenants to Laurus that:

 

 

 

 

(a)

it is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, validly existing, in good standing and organized under the respective laws of its jurisdiction of organization set forth on Schedule A, and each Assignor will provide Calliope thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any change in its jurisdiction of organization;

(f)

it will, at its and the other Assignors joint and several cost and expense keep the Collateral in good state of repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and will not waste or destroy the same or any part thereof other than ordinary course discarding of items no longer used or useful in its or such other Assignors’ business;

(h)

(i) it will insure or cause the Collateral to be insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, burglary, pilferage, loss in transit and such other hazards consistent with past practices.

it will at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice allow Calliope or Calliope’s representatives free access to and the right of inspection of the Collateral;

 

 

 

 

(j)

such Assignor (jointly and severally with each other Assignor, if any) hereby indemnifies and saves Calliope harmless from all loss, costs, damage, liability and/or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that Calliope may sustain or incur to enforce payment, performance or fulfillment of any of the Obligations and/or in the enforcement of this Master Security Agreement or in the prosecution or defense of any action or proceeding either against Calliope or any Assignor concerning any matter growing out of or in connection with this Master Security Agreement, and/or any of the Obligations and/or any of the Collateral except to the extent caused by Calliope’s own negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision); and

 

 

 

 

(k)

all commercial tort claims (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York) held by any Assignor are set forth on Schedule

3


 

 

 

B to this Master Security Agreement; each Assignor hereby agrees that it shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the same is acquired by it, notify Calliope of any commercial tort claim acquired by it and unless otherwise consented to in writing by Calliope, it shall enter into a supplement to this Master Security Agreement granting to Calliope a security interest in such commercial tort claim, securing the Obligations.

          4. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Master Security Agreement:

 

 

 

          (a) Breach of any material covenant, warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Calliope by any Assignor or on any Assignor’s benefit was false or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished, and if subject to cure, shall not be cured for a period of fifteen (15) days; or

 

 

 

          (b) the occurrence of an “Event of Default” as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

          5. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Calliope may declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and Calliope shall have the remedies of a secured party provided in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York, this Agreement and other applicable law. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Calliope will have the right to take possession of the Collateral and to maintain such possession on its premises or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other premises as Calliope may desire. Upon Calliope’s request, each of the Assignors shall assemble or cause the Collateral to be assembled and make it available to Calliope at a place reasonably designated by Calliope. If any notification of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, such notification, if mailed, shall be deemed properly and reasonably given if mailed at least ten (10) business days before such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to any Assignor either at such Assignor’s address shown herein or in the Securities Purchase Agreement or at any subsequent address appearing on Calliope’s records for such Assignor. Any proceeds of any disposition of any of the Collateral shall be applied by Calliope to the payment of all expenses in connection with the sale of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses and disbursements and the reasonable expense of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, and the like, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by Calliope toward the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as Calliope may elect, and each Assignor shall be liable for any deficiency. The parties hereto each hereby agree that the exercise by any party hereto of any right granted to it or the exercise by any party hereto of any remedy available to it (including, without limitation, the issuance of a notice of redemption, a borrowing request and/or a notice of default), in each case, hereunder, under the Securities Purchase Agreement or under any other Related Agreement shall not constitute confidential information and no party shall have any duty to the other party to maintain such information as confidential.

          6. If any Assignor defaults in the performance or fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions or warranties on such Assignor’s part to be performed or fulfilled under or pursuant to this Master Security Agreement, Calliope may, at its

4


option without waiving its right to enforce this Master Security Agreement according to its terms, immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice to any Assignor, perform or fulfill the same or cause the performance or fulfillment of the same for each Assignor’s joint and several account and at each Assignor’s joint and several cost and expense, and the reasonable cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be added to the Obligations and shall be payable on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by law.

          7. Each Assignor appoints Calliope, any of Calliope’s officers, employees or any other person or entity whom Calliope may designate as its attorney, with power to execute such documents in its behalf and to supply any omitted information and correct patent errors in any documents executed by any Assignor or on any Assignor’s behalf; to file financing statements against the Assignors covering the Collateral; to sign the name of each Assignor on public records; and to do all other things Calliope deems necessary to carry out this Master Security Agreement. Each Assignor hereby ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney and neither Calliope nor the attorney will be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). This power being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as any Obligations remains unpaid.

          8. No delay or failure on Calliope’s part in exercising any right, privilege or option hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or of any other right, privilege, remedy or option, and no waiver whatever shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Calliope and then only to the extent therein set forth, and no waiver by Calliope of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. Calliope’s books and records containing entries with respect to the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, shall be binding upon each Assignor for the purpose of establishing the items therein set forth (absent manifest error) and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof. Calliope shall have the right to enforce any one or more of the remedies available to Calliope, successively, alternately or concurrently. Each Assignor agrees to join with Calliope in executing financing statements or other instruments to the extent required by the Uniform Commercial Code in form satisfactory to Calliope and in executing such other documents or instruments as may be required or reasonably deemed necessary by Calliope for purposes of affecting or continuing Calliope’s security interest in the Collateral.

          9. The Assignors shall jointly and severally pay all of Calliope’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house or outside counsel and appraisers, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Documents, and in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with any Document. The Assignors shall also jointly and severally pay all of Calliope’s reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Documents, (b) Calliope’s obtaining performance of the Obligations under the Documents, including, but not limited to the enforcement or defense of Calliope’s security interests, assignments of rights and liens hereunder as valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, (d) any

5


appraisals or re-appraisals of any property (real or personal) pledged to Calliope by any Assignor as Collateral for, or any other Person as security for, the Obligations hereunder and (e) any consultations in connection with any of the foregoing. The Assignors shall also jointly and severally pay Calliope’s customary bank charges for all bank services (including wire transfers) performed or caused to be performed by Calliope for any Assignor at any Assignor’s request or in connection with any Assignor’s loan account (if any) with Calliope. All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search fees, taxes and interest payable by the Assignors to Calliope shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the Collateral. If any tax by any nation or government, any state or other political subdivision thereof, and any agency, department or other entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to government (each, a “Governmental Authority”) is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Assignor, on the one hand, and Calliope on the other hand, which Calliope is or may be required to withhold or pay, the Assignors hereby jointly and severally indemnify and hold Calliope harmless in respect of such taxes, and the Assignors will repay to Calliope the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged to the Assignors’ account; and until the Assignors shall furnish Calliope with indemnity therefor (or supply Calliope with evidence satisfactory to it that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Calliope may hold without interest any balance standing to each Assignor’s credit (if any) and Calliope shall retain its liens in any and all Collateral.

          10. THIS MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. All of the rights, remedies, options, privileges and elections given to Calliope hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Calliope’s successors and assigns. The term “Calliope” as herein used shall include Calliope, any parent of Calliope’s, any of Calliope’s subsidiaries and any co-subsidiaries of Calliope’s parent, whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired, and all of the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall bind the representatives, successors and assigns of each Assignor and each of the foregoing.

          11. Each Assignor hereby consents and agrees that the state of federal courts located in the County of New York, State of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between Assignor, on the one hand, and Calliope, on the other hand, pertaining to this Master Security Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this Master Security Agreement, provided, that Calliope and each Assignor acknowledges that any appeals from those courts may have to be heard by a court located outside of the County of New York, State of New York, and further provided, that nothing in this Master Security Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude Calliope from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to collect the Obligations, to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Calliope. Each Assignor expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Assignor hereby waives any objection which it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens. Each Assignor hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issues in any such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and

6

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

 

 

New York, New York

July 31, 2007

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of note purchases from, or credit otherwise extended or to be extended by Calliope Capital Corporation (“Calliope”) to or for the account of INCENTRA SOLUTIONS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) from time to time and at any time and for other good and valuable consideration and to induce Calliope, in its discretion, to purchase such notes or make other extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as Calliope may deem advisable, each of the undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this Guaranty being joint and several) (jointly and severally referred to as “Guarantors” or “the undersigned”) unconditionally guaranties to Calliope, its successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities of any and all kinds of each Company to Calliope and of all instruments of any nature evidencing or relating to any such obligations and liabilities upon which such Company or one or more parties and such Company is or may become liable to Calliope, whether incurred by such Company as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantors, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by Calliope, whether arising under, out of, or in connection with (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof and between the Company and Calliope (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) each Related Agreement referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and each Related Agreement, as each may be amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Documents”), or any documents, instruments or agreements relating to or executed in connection with the Documents or any documents, instruments or agreements referred to therein or otherwise, or any other obligations or liabilities of such Company to Calliope, whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred to as the “Obligations”), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Obligations in any case commenced by or against any Company under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of any Company for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Obligations but for the commencement of such case. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

          1. No Impairment. Calliope may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or extend any of the Obligations or increase or decrease the interest rate thereon, or any other agreement with any Company or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Obligations, or interested


therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between Calliope and any Company or any such other party or person, or make any election of rights Calliope may deem desirable under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally (any of the foregoing, an “Insolvency Law”) without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or consolidation of any Company, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or location of any Company and shall extend to any successor entity to each Company, including a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.

          2. Guaranty Absolute. Subject to Section 5(c) hereof, each of the undersigned jointly and severally guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Documents and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Company with respect thereto. Guarantors hereby knowingly accept the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of “continuing guaranty” which risk includes the possibility that a Company will contract additional obligations and liabilities for which Guarantors may be liable hereunder after such Company’s financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether or not such Company has properly authorized incurring such additional obligations and liabilities. The undersigned acknowledge that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend credit or provide other financial accommodations to any Company, have been made by Calliope to induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to any Company shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Documents. The liability of each of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Calliope or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Calliope or its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligation under the Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to any Company, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the

2


undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Calliope shall bear interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations. Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable.

          3. Waivers.

 

 

 

          (a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Calliope shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other action against any Company or any other person or entity liable with respect to any of the Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would require Calliope to do any of the foregoing. Each of the Guarantors further consents and agrees that Calliope shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantors, or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Each of the undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and among Calliope, any Company and/or the undersigned with respect to the undersigned’s obligations under this Guaranty, or which any Company may assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.

 

 

 

          (b) Each of the undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, of the extensions of credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in any Company’s financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon any of the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any default of any sort.

 

 

 

          (c) Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the undersigned hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the undersigned by Calliope, the undersigned shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Calliope against any Company or against any collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by Calliope for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Company in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all amounts owing to Calliope by each Company on account of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and Calliope’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents has been irrevocably terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full and Calliope’s obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for Calliope, segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within

3



 

 

 

two (2) business days of, receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to Calliope in the exact form received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to Calliope, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Calliope may determine, subject to the provisions of the Documents. Any and all present and future obligations and liabilities of each Company to any of the undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all Obligations of each Company to Calliope.

          4. Security. All sums at any time to the credit of the undersigned and any property of the undersigned in Calliope’s possession or in the possession of any bank, financial institution or other entity that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, Calliope (each such entity, an “Affiliate”) shall be deemed held by Calliope or such Affiliate, as the case may be, as security for any and all of the undersigned’s obligations and liabilities to Calliope and to any Affiliate of Calliope, no matter how or when arising and whether under this or any other instrument, agreement or otherwise.

          5. Representations and Warranties. Each of the undersigned hereby jointly and severally represents and warrants (all of which representations and warranties shall survive until all Obligations are indefeasibly satisfied in full and the Documents have been irrevocably terminated), that:

 

 

 

          (a) Corporate Status. It is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation indicated on the signature page hereof and has full power, authority and legal right to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged.

 

 

 

          (b) Authority and Execution. It has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guaranty and has taken all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty.

 

 

 

          (c) Legal, Valid and Binding Character. This Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights and general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.

 

 

 

          (d) Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not violate any requirement of law applicable to it or any contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien or other encumbrance other than in favor of Calliope on any of its property or assets pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing, which, in any of the foregoing cases, could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4



 

 

 

          (e) Consents or Approvals. No consent of any other person or entity (including, without limitation, any creditor of the undersigned) and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty by it, except to the extent that the failure to obtain any of the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

 

 

          (f) Litigation. No litigation, arbitration, investigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, bureau or agency is currently pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened (i) with respect to this Guaranty or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or (ii) against or affecting it, or any of its property or assets, which, in each of the foregoing cases, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          6. Acceleration.

 

 

 

          (a) If any breach of any covenant or condition or other event of default shall occur and be continuing under any agreement made by any Company or any of the undersigned to Calliope, or any Company or any of the undersigned should at any time become insolvent, or make a general assignment, or if a proceeding in or under any Insolvency Law shall be filed or commenced by, or in respect of, any of the undersigned, or if a notice of any lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any assets of any of the undersigned by the United States of America or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or if any taxes or debts owing at any time or times hereafter to any one of them becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any assets of the undersigned in Calliope’s possession, or otherwise, any and all Obligations shall for purposes hereof, at Calliope’s option, be deemed due and payable without notice notwithstanding that any such Obligation is not then due and payable by the Companies.

 

 

 

          (b) Each of the undersigned will promptly notify Calliope of any default by such undersigned in its respective performance or observance of any term or condition of any agreement to which the undersigned is a party if the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holder of any obligation under such agreement to cause, such obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity and, if such an event occurs, Calliope shall have the right to accelerate such undersigned’s obligations hereunder.

          7. Payments from Guarantors. Calliope, in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice to the undersigned, may apply on account of the Obligations any payment from the undersigned or any other guarantors, or amounts realized from any security for the

5


Obligations, or may deposit any and all such amounts realized in a non-interest bearing cash collateral deposit account to be maintained as security for the Obligations.

          8. Costs. The undersigned shall pay on demand, all costs, fees and expenses (including expenses for legal services of every kind) relating or incidental to the enforcement or protection of the rights of Calliope hereunder or under any of the Obligations.

          9. No Termination. This is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the undersigned, and each of the undersigned’s successors and assigns, until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and Calliope’s obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents has been irrevocably terminated. If any of the present or future Obligations are guarantied by persons, partnerships, corporations or other entities in addition to the undersigned, the death, release or discharge in whole or in part or the bankruptcy, merger, consolidation, incorporation, liquidation or dissolution of one or more of them shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of any undersigned under this Guaranty.

          10. Recapture. Anything in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, if Calliope receives any payment or payments on account of the liabilities guaranteed hereby, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any Insolvency Law, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by Calliope, the undersigned’s obligations to Calliope shall be reinstated and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to Calliope, which payment shall be due on demand.

          11. Books and Records. The books and records of Calliope showing the account between Calliope and each Company shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, shall be binding upon the undersigned for the purpose of establishing the items therein set forth and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof (absent manifest error).

          12. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Calliope to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Calliope of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other legal right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to Calliope or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Calliope at any time and from time to time.

          13. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED DESIRES THAT ITS DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HERETO WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN CALLIOPE, AND/OR ANY OF THE UNDERSIGNED ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE

6


RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, ANY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

          14. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. THIS GUARANTY CANNOT BE CHANGED OR TERMINATED ORALLY, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN ANY OF THE UNDERSIGNED, ON THE ONE HAND, AND CALLIOPE, ON THE OTHER HAND, PERTAINING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK; AND FURTHER PROVIDED, THAT NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE CALLIOPE FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF CALLIOPE. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH UNDERSIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 18 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH UNDERSIGNED’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

          15. Understanding With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth in this Guaranty is made voluntarily and unconditionally after consultation with outside legal counsel and with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Guarantor otherwise may have against any Company, Calliope or any other person or entity or against any collateral. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the terms of this Guaranty shall control in any and all circumstances, any such waivers or consents are determined to be

7


unenforceable under applicable law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

          16. Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          17. Amendments, Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the undersigned therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing executed by each of the undersigned directly affected by such amendment and/or waiver and Calliope.

          18. Notice. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the undersigned, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) when delivered, if by hand, (b) three (3) days after being sent, postage prepaid, if by registered or certified mail, (c) when confirmed electronically, if by facsimile, or (d) when delivered, if by a recognized overnight delivery service in each event, to the numbers and/or address set forth beneath the signature of the undersigned.

          19. Successors. Calliope may, from time to time, without notice to the undersigned, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Obligations and/or rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Calliope may assign, or grant participations to, one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities all or any part of any of the Obligations. In each such event, Calliope, its Affiliates and each and every immediate and successive purchaser, assignee, transferee or holder of all or any part of the Obligations shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by legal action or otherwise, for its own benefit as fully as if such purchaser, assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given such right. Calliope shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this Guaranty for its benefit with respect to that portion of the Obligations which Calliope has not disposed of, sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred.

          20. Joinder. It is understood and agreed that any person or entity that desires to become a Guarantor hereunder, or is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of any Document, shall become a Guarantor hereunder by (x) executing a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Calliope, (y) delivering supplements to such exhibits and annexes to such Documents as Calliope shall reasonably request and/or as may be required by such joinder agreement and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Guaranty as would have been taken by such such Guarantor had it been an original party to this Guaranty, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to Calliope and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of Calliope.

          21. Release. Nothing except indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations shall release any of the undersigned from liability under this Guaranty.

8


          22. Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies conferred upon Calliope in this Guaranty are intended to be in addition to, and not in limitation of any other remedy or remedies available to Calliope under applicable law or otherwise.

2. Registration.

 

 

 

 

(a)

On or prior to each Filing Date the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities for a selling stockholder resale offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form SB-2 or Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on such Forms, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, or (ii) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k), as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (each, an “Effectiveness Period”).

 

 

 

 

          (b) Within three business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the transfer agent stating that the shares are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Purchaser and confirmation by the Purchaser that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company or such counsel has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(b) shall be delivered to the Purchaser within the time frame set forth above.

 

3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

 

 

 

(a)

prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;

 

 

 

 

(b)

prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be

3


 

 

 

 

 

necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period applicable to such Registration Statement;

 

 

 

 

(c)

furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;

 

 

 

 

(d)

use its reasonable commercial efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 

 

 

 

(e)

list the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

 

 

 

 

(f)

immediately notify the Purchaser at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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

 

 

 

 

(g)

make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.

 

4. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders, are called “Registration Expenses”. All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called

4


“Selling Expenses.” The Company shall only be responsible for all Registration Expenses.

5. Indemnification.

 

 

(a)

In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls each Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder, or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such Holder, and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses 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 or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document.

 

 

(b)

In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action,

5


 

 

 

provided, however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only 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 in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.

 

 

(c)

Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.

 

 

(d)

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the

6


 

 

 

expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6. Representations and Warranties.

 

 

(a)

The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and, except with respect to certain matters which the Company has disclosed to the Purchaser on Schedule 4.21 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has timely filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. The Company has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). To the knowledge of the Company, each of the SEC Reports was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of its respective filing date, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company

7


 

 

 

and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report.

 

 

(b)

The Common Stock is listed for trading on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and satisfies all requirements for the continuation of such listing. The Company has not received any notice that its Common Stock will be no longer quoted on the OTCBB (except for prior notices which have been fully remedied) or that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing.

 

 

(c)

Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings (other than such concurrent offerings to the Purchaser).

 

 

(d)

The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock which the Purchaser may acquire pursuant to the Warrants are all restricted securities under the Securities Act as of the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Registrable Securities at such time as such Registrable Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from registration is available, except as required by federal or state securities laws.

 

 

(e)

The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and recognizes that the issuance of such Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

 

 

(f)

Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

8


 

 

(g)

The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the full exercise of the Warrants.

7. Miscellaneous.

 

 

(a)

Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.

 

 

(b)

No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 4.15 to the Securities Purchase Agreement and on Schedule 7(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement to any of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 4.15 to the Securities Purchase Agreement and on Schedule 7(b) hereto, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been fully satisfied.

 

 

(c)

Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.

 

 

(d)

Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration

9


 

 

 

Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration

 

 

 

Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

 

(e)

Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during any Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered during such Effectiveness Period and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered to the extent the Company may do so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining any required consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under such registration statement.

 

 

(f)

Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates;

10


 

 

 

provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

 

(g)

Any notice or request hereunder may be given to the Company or the Purchaser at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section 7(g). Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, hand delivery, overnight mail, Federal Express or other national overnight next day carrier (collectively, “Courier”) or telecopy (confirmed by mail).

Re:

Registration Statement on Form SB-2

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          As counsel to Incentra Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), we have been requested to render our opinion to you in connection with the resale by the individuals or entitles listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), of an aggregate of [amount]shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock.

          The Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (Reg. No. 333-____) (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to the resale of the Shares was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on [date]. Enclosed is a copy of the Prospectus dated [date] included in the Registration Statement. We understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus.

          Based upon the foregoing, upon request by the Selling Stockholders at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective, it is our opinion that the Shares have been registered for resale under the Act and new certificates evidencing the Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the Selling Stockholders may be issued without restrictive legend. We will advise you if the Registration Statement is not available or effective at any point in the future.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

[Company counsel]

Exhibit 10.18

STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT

          This Stock Pledge Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 31, 2007, among Calliope Capital Corporation (the “Pledgee”), Incentra Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and each of the other undersigned parties (other than the Pledgee) (the Company and each such other undersigned party, a “Pledgor” and collectively, the “Pledgors”).

BACKGROUND

          The Company has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2006 as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Pledgee has provided, provides or will provide certain financial accommodations to the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company.

          In order to induce the Pledgee to provide or continue to provide the financial accommodations described in the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Pledgor has agreed to pledge and grant a security interest in the collateral described herein to the Pledgee on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein which are not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

          2. Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. To secure the full and punctual payment and performance of (the following clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “Obligations”) (a) the obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements, as each may be amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, collectively, the “Documents”) and (b) all other obligations and liabilities of each Pledgor to the Pledgee whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise (in each case, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of such in any case commenced by or against any Pledgor under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations of each Pledgor for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Obligations but for the commencement of such case), each Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and grants a security interest to Pledgee in all of the following (the “Collateral”):

                    (a) the shares of stock set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto and expressly made a part hereof (together with any additional shares of stock or other equity interests acquired


by any Pledgor, the “Pledged Stock”), the certificates representing the Pledged Stock and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Stock;

                    (b) all additional shares of stock of any issuer (each, an “Issuer”) of the Pledged Stock from time to time acquired by any Pledgor in any manner, including, without limitation, stock dividends or a distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off (which shares shall be deemed to be part of the Collateral), and the certificates representing such additional shares, and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such shares; and

                    (c) all options and rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution of or in exchange for any shares of any Pledged Stock and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all such options and rights.

          3. Delivery of Collateral. All certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Stock shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of Pledgee pursuant hereto and shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Pledgee. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Issuer upon demand by the Pledgee to deliver any certificates, instruments or other distributions issued in connection with the Collateral directly to the Pledgee, in each case to be held by the Pledgee, subject to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), the Pledgee shall have the right, during such time in its discretion and without notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Pledgee or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Stock. In addition, the Pledgee shall have the right at such time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Stock for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

          4. Representations and Warranties of each Pledgor. Each Pledgor jointly and severally represents and warrants to the Pledgee (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to continue to be made until all of the Obligations have been paid in full and each Document and each agreement and instrument entered into in connection therewith has been irrevocably terminated) that:

                    (a) the execution, delivery and performance by each Pledgor of this Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral hereunder do not and will not result in any violation of any agreement, indenture, instrument, license, judgment, decree, order, law, statute, ordinance or other governmental rule or regulation applicable to any Pledgor;

                    (b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each Pledgor enforceable against each Pledgor in accordance with its terms;

2


                    (c) all Pledged Stock owned by each Pledgor is set forth on Schedule A hereto and (ii) each Pledgor is the direct and beneficial owner of each share of the Pledged Stock;

                    (d) all of the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable;

                    (e) no consent or approval of any person, corporation, governmental body, regulatory authority or other entity, is or will be necessary for (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, (ii) the exercise by the Pledgee of any rights with respect to the Collateral or (iii) the pledge and assignment of, and the grant of a security interest in, the Collateral hereunder;

                    (f) there are no pending or, to the best of Pledgor’s knowledge, threatened actions or proceedings before any court, judicial body, administrative agency or arbitrator which may materially adversely affect the Collateral;

                    (g) each Pledgor has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to pledge and assign the Collateral to the Pledgee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

                    (h) each Pledgor owns each item of the Collateral and, except for the pledge and security interest granted to Pledgee hereunder, the Collateral shall be, immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Documents, free and clear of any other security interest, mortgage, pledge, claim, lien, charge, hypothecation, assignment, offset or encumbrance whatsoever (collectively, “Liens”);

                    (i) there are no restrictions on transfer of the Pledged Stock contained in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) of the Issuer or otherwise which have not otherwise been enforceably and legally waived by the necessary parties;

                    (j) none of the Pledged Stock has been issued or transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such issuance or transfer may be subject;

                    (k) the pledge and assignment of the Collateral and the grant of a security interest under this Agreement vest in the Pledgee all rights of each Pledgor in the Collateral as contemplated by this Agreement; and

                    (l) The Pledged Stock constitutes one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Issuer.

          5. Covenants. Each Pledgor jointly and severally covenants that, until the Obligations shall be indefeasibly satisfied in full and each Document and each agreement and instrument entered into in connection therewith is irrevocably terminated:

                    (a) No Pledgor will sell, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of its rights in or to the Collateral or any interest therein; nor will any Pledgor create, incur or permit to

3


exist any Lien whatsoever with respect to any of the Collateral or the proceeds thereof other than that created hereby.

                    (b) Each Pledgor will, at its expense, defend Pledgee’s right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any other party.

                    (c) Each Pledgor shall at any time, and from time to time, upon the written request of Pledgee, execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as Pledgee may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement including, but without limitation, delivering to Pledgee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, irrevocable proxies in respect of the Collateral in form satisfactory to Pledgee. Until receipt thereof, upon an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period, this Agreement shall constitute Pledgor’s proxy to Pledgee or its nominee to vote all shares of Collateral then registered in each Pledgor’s name.

                    (d) No Pledgor will consent to or approve the issuance of (i) any additional shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of the Issuer; or (ii) any securities convertible either voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event or condition into, or any securities exchangeable for, any such shares, unless, in either case, such shares are pledged as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

          6. Voting Rights and Dividends. In addition to the Pledgee’s rights and remedies set forth in Section 8 hereof, in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, beyond any applicable cure period, the Pledgee shall (i) be entitled to vote the Collateral, (ii) be entitled to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee, with full power of substitution, the proxy and attorney-in-fact of each Pledgor for such purposes) and (iii) be entitled to collect and receive for its own use cash dividends paid on the Collateral. No Pledgor shall be permitted to exercise or refrain from exercising any voting rights or other powers if, in the reasonable judgment of the Pledgee, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or any part thereof; and, provided, further, that each Pledgor shall give at least five (5) days’ written notice of the manner in which such Pledgor intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any voting rights or other powers other than with respect to any election of directors and voting with respect to any incidental matters. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, all dividends and all other distributions in respect of any of the Collateral, shall be delivered to the Pledgee to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of any other Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

          7. Event of Default. An “Event of Default” under this Agreement shall occur upon the happening of any of the following events:

                    (a) An “Event of Default” under any Document or any agreement or note related to any Document shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period;

4


                    (b) Any Pledgor shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under any Document, including, without limitation, this Agreement, and such default shall not be cured during the cure period applicable thereto;

                    (c) Any representation or warranty of any Pledgor made herein, in any Document or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall be false or misleading in any material respect;

                    (d) Any portion of the Collateral is subjected to a levy of execution, attachment, distraint or other judicial process or any portion of the Collateral is the subject of a claim (other than by the Pledgee) of a Lien, other than the Permitted Liens as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, or other right or interest in or to the Collateral and such levy or claim shall not be cured, disputed or stayed within a period of fifteen (15) business days after the occurrence thereof; or

                    (e) Any Pledgor shall (i) apply for, consent to, or suffer to exist the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee, liquidator or other fiduciary of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) commence a voluntary case under any state or federal bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect), (iv) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (v) file a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law providing for the relief of debtors, (vi) acquiesce to, or fail to have dismissed, within thirty (30) days, any petition filed against it in any involuntary case under such bankruptcy laws, or (vii) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.

          8. Remedies. In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee may:

                    (a) Transfer any or all of the Collateral into its name, or into the name of its nominee or nominees;

                    (b) Exercise all corporate rights with respect to the Collateral including, without limitation, all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any shares of the Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, but without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; and

                    (c) Subject to any requirement of applicable law, sell, assign and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral at the time held by the Pledgee, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived, except such

5


notice as is required by applicable law and cannot be waived), for cash or credit or for other property for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its sole discretion may determine, or as may be required by applicable law.

                    Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases any and all right or equity of redemption, whether before or after sale hereunder. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee may bid for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. All moneys received by the Pledgee hereunder, whether upon sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise, shall be held by the Pledgee and applied by it as provided in Section 10 hereof. No failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights hereunder. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon nor any duty as to preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, except to apply the funds in accordance with the requirements of Section 10 hereof. The Pledgee may exercise its rights with respect to property held hereunder without resort to other security for or sources of reimbursement for the Obligations. In addition to the foregoing, Pledgee shall have all of the rights, remedies and privileges of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of New York (the “UCC”) regardless of the jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought.

          9. Private Sale. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect (or to do so only after delay which would adversely affect the value that might be realized from the Collateral) a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor agrees that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Pledgor agrees that the Pledgee has no obligation to delay sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer to register the Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act.

          10. Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral shall be applied by the Pledgee as follows:

                    (a) First, to the payment of all costs, reasonable expenses and charges of the Pledgee and to the reimbursement of the Pledgee for the prior payment of such costs, reasonable expenses and charges incurred in connection with the care and safekeeping of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the reasonable expenses of any sale or any other disposition of any of the Collateral), attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, court costs, any other fees or expenses incurred or expenditures or advances made by Pledgee in the protection, enforcement or exercise of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder;

                    (b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part, in such order as the Pledgee may elect, whether or not such Obligations are then due;

6


                    (c) Third, to such persons, firms, corporations or other entities as required by applicable law including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC; and

                    (d) Fourth, to the extent of any surplus to the Pledgors or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

                    In the event that the proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations, each Pledgor shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency plus the costs and fees of any attorneys employed by Pledgee to collect such deficiency.

          11. Waiver of Marshaling. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right to compel any marshaling of any of the Collateral.

          12. No Waiver. Any and all of the Pledgee’s rights with respect to the Liens granted under this Agreement shall continue unimpaired, and Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Pledgor, (b) the release or substitution of any item of the Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interests therein, or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Pledgee in reference to any of the Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consents to be bound hereby as fully and effectively as if such Pledgor had expressly agreed thereto in advance. No delay or extension of time by the Pledgee in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no failure by the Pledgee to give notice or make demand, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the Pledgee’s right to take any action against any Pledgor or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.

          13. Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and each Pledgor shall pay to Pledgee on demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses, (including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, taxes, and all transfer, recording, filing and other charges) of, or incidental to, the custody, care, transfer, administration of the Collateral or any other collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of the Pledgee under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Obligations.

          14. The Pledgee Appointed Attorney-In-Fact and Performance by the Pledgee. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Pledgee as such Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to do in such Pledgor’s name, place and stead, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of such Pledgor, which such Pledgor could or might do or which the Pledgee may deem necessary, desirable or convenient to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to execute such instruments of assignment or transfer or orders and to register, convey or otherwise transfer title to the Collateral into the Pledgee’s name. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorney-in-fact may so do and hereby declares this power of attorney to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable. If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement herein contained, the Pledgee may itself perform or cause performance thereof, and any costs and expenses of the

7


Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Pledgors as provided in Section 10 hereof.

          15. Waivers. THE PARTIES HERETO DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN LAURUS, AND/OR ANY COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

          16. Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Pledgee receives any payment or payments on account of the Obligations, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by the Pledgee, each Pledgor’s obligations to the Pledgee shall be reinstated and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to Pledgee, which payment shall be due on demand.

          17. Captions. All captions in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

          18. Miscellaneous.

                    (a) This Agreement constitutes the entire and final agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be changed, terminated or otherwise varied except by a writing duly executed by the parties hereto.

                    (b) No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, whether by delay, omission or otherwise, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

                    (c) In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Pledgor or any circumstance in any jurisdiction governing this Agreement shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Agreement and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provision to parties, jurisdictions, or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable

8


shall not be affected thereby, nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company and the Secured Party, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein, the Company and its direct and indirect Subsidiaries have granted a security interest to the Secured Party in consideration of the Secured Party’s agreement to provide financial accommodations to the Company.

          B. Each Grantor (1) has adopted, used and are using the trademarks reflected in the trademark registrations and trademark applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office more particularly described on Schedule 1 annexed hereto as part hereof (the “Trademarks”), and (2) has registered or applied for registration in the United States Patent and Trademark Office of the patents more particularly described on Schedule 2 annexed hereto as part hereof (the “Patents”).

          C. Each Grantor wishes to confirm its grant to the Secured Party of a security interest in all right, title and interest of such Grantor in and to the Trademarks and Patents, and all proceeds thereof, together with the business as well as the goodwill of the business symbolized by, or related or pertaining to, the Trademarks, and the customer lists and records related to the Trademarks and Patents and all causes of action which may exist by reason of infringement of any of the Trademarks and Patents (collectively, the “T&P Collateral”), to secure the payment, performance and observance of the Obligations (as that term is defined in the Security Agreement).

          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged:

          1. Each Grantor does hereby further grant to the Secured Party a security interest in the T&P Collateral to secure the full and prompt payment, performance and observance of the Obligations.

          2. Each Grantor agrees to perform, so long as the Security Agreement is in effect, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Secured Party to permit and assist it, at such Grantor’s expense, in obtaining and enforcing the Trademarks and Patents in any and all countries.

          (b) The term “Common Stock” includes (i) the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share; and (ii) any other securities into which or for which any of the securities described in (i) may be converted or exchanged pursuant to a plan of recapitalization, reorganization, merger, sale of assets or otherwise.

 

 

 

          (c) The term “Other Securities” refers to any stock (other than Common Stock) and other securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or otherwise) which the Holder of this Warrant at any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, on the exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock, or




 

 

 

which at any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock or Other Securities pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise.

 

 

 

          (d) The “Exercise Price” applicable under this Warrant shall be $0.80 per share.

1. Exercise of Warrant.

                    1.1 Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise. From and after the date hereof, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, by delivery of an original or fax copy of an exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.

                    1.2 Fair Market Value. For purposes hereof, the “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall mean:

          (d) If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company’s charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant are outstanding at the Determination Date.

                    1.3 Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder

2

                    1.4 Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the Holder of this Warrant pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and duties of a Warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.

2. Procedure for Exercise.

                    2.1 Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

                    2.2 Exercise. (a) Payment may be made either (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price, (ii) by delivery of this Warrant, or shares of Common Stock and/or Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with Section (b) below, or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Shares specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant); provided, however, that if at the time of delivery of an Exercise Notice the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon payment of the Exercise Price have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, payment of the Exercise Price may only be made pursuant to clause (i) above and may not be made pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above. Upon receipt by the Company of an Exercise Notice and proper payment of the aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.

          (b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set

3


forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

 

X=Y

(A-B)

 


 

A


 

 

 

 

 

Where X =

 

the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder

 

 

 

 

 

Y =

 

the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)

 

 

 

 

 

A =

 

the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

 

 

 

 

 

B =

 

the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

3. Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.

                    3.1 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.

                    3.2 Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of this Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in San Francisco, CA as trustee for the Holder of this Warrant (the “Trustee”).

                    3.3 Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of

4


stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holders of the Warrant will be delivered to Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.

4. Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock (each of the preceding clauses (a) through (c), inclusive, an “Event”), then, in each such event, the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be increased or decreased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would, immediately prior to such Event, be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after such Event, and (b) the denominator is the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Event.

5. Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of this Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

6. Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.

7. Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the

5


Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, and with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

8. Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

9. Registration Rights. The Holder of this Warrant has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 20, 2007 entered into by the Company and the initial Holder of this Warrant, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

10. Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder hereby agrees that during the period on and after the Issue Date and prior to the date that is the one year anniversary of the Issue Date, it shall not sell any Common Stock acquired upon exercise of this Warrant.

11. Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the Holder of this Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

12. Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

13. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.

14. Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and

6


construed in accordance with the laws of State of Colorado without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of Colorado or in the federal courts located in the state of Colorado. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant.

At any time after August 20, 2009 (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Demand Date”), if the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request that the Company effect any registration with respect to Registrable Securities the Company will:

 >

 >

 >

 

          (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and

 

 

 

 

          (b) as soon as practicable, use all reasonable efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post- effective amendments, appropriate qualification under the blue sky or other state securities laws requested by Initiating Holders and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2:

 

 

 

 

 

          (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act or applicable rules or regulations thereunder;

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) less than ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date of any registration declared or ordered effective other than a registration on Form S-3 or Form S-8;

 

 

 

 

 

          (iii) if, while a registration request is pending pursuant to this Section 2, the Company determines, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, with the advice of counsel, that the filing of a registration statement would require the disclosure of non-

3


 >

 >

 >

 

 

public material information the disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or would otherwise materially adversely affect a financing, acquisition, disposition, merger or other significant transaction, the Company shall deliver a certificate to such effect signed by its President to the proposed selling Holders and the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2 until the earlier of (A) three (3) days after the date upon which such material information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or (B) 90 days after the Company makes such good faith determination; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period; or

 

 

 

 

 

          (iv) except as set forth in Section 2.5, after the second such registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 has been declared or ordered effective.

          Subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders.

                    2.2 Additional Shares to be Included. The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 3.3 below, include (a) other securities of the Company (the “Additional Shares”) which are held by (i) officers or directors of the Company who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, are entitled to include their securities in any such registration or (ii) other persons who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, including the Existing Rights Agreements, are entitled to include their securities in any such registration (the “Other Stockholders”), and (b) securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.

                    2.3 Underwriting.

                    (a) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to other Holders referred to in Section 2.1 above. The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein and subject to the limitations provided herein. A Holder may elect to include in such underwriting all or a part of the Registrable Securities he holds.

                    (b) The Company shall (together with all Holders, officers, directors and Other Stockholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) negotiate and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a

4


lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 12) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    2.4 Limitations on Shares to be Included. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the representative of the underwriters of a firm commitment underwriting advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: first, among the Other Stockholders that offer securities being sold pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements; second, among the Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration; third, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; and thereafter, the number of shares that may be included in the registration statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all officers or directors or remaining Other Stockholders, in each case in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration at the time of filing the registration statement. If the Company or any Holder, officer, director or Other Stockholder who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw such Person’s Registrable Securities or Additional Shares therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration. No Registrable Securities or Additional Shares excluded from such registration by reason of such underwriters’ marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Company or underwriter or underwriters selected as provided above may round the number of Registrable Securities of any Holder which may be included in such registration to the nearest 100 shares.

                    2.5 Additional Demand Registration. If with respect to the last registration permitted to be exercised by the Holders of Registrable Securities under Section 2.1, the Holders are unable to register all of their Registrable Securities because of the operation of Section 2.4 hereof, such Holders shall be entitled to require the Company to effect one additional registration to afford the Holders an opportunity to register all such Registrable Securities. Such additional registration shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.

          3. Company Registration.

                    3.1 At any time after August 20, 2009, if the Company shall determine to register under the Securities Act any of its equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising any demand registration rights, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or the Form S-1 filed on or about May 8, 2007, (or any successor forms thereto), the Company will:

5


 >

 >

 >

 

          (a) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws); and

 

 

 

          (b) include in such registration (and, subject to Section 2.1(b)(i), any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or request, made by any Holder within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notice from the Company described in clause (a) above, except as set forth in Section 3.3 below. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities.

                    3.2 Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1(a). The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any officers, directors or Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 12) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    3.3 Limitations on Shares to be Included. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the representative of the underwriters of a firm commitment underwriting advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation or elimination on the number of shares to be underwritten, the representative may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) limit the number of or eliminate the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: first, if such underwritten offering shall have been initiated by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; second, among the Other Stockholders that offer securities being sold pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements; third, among the Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration; fourth, if such underwritten offering shall not have been initiated by the Company, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; and thereafter, the number of shares that may be

6


included in the registration statement and underwriting shall be allocated among all officers or directors or remaining Other Stockholders, in each case in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration at the time of filing the registration statement. If any Holder of Registrable Securities or any officer, director or Other Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

          4. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, except that Selling Expenses shall be borne pro rata by each Holder in accordance with the number of shares sold.

          5. Registration Procedures.

                    5.1 In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof and will, at its expense:

 >

 >

 >

 

          (a) use all reasonable efforts to keep such registration effective for a period of 180 days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; provided, however, that the Company will keep such registration effective for longer than 180 days if the costs and expenses associated with such extended registration are borne by the selling Holders;

 

 

 

          (b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

 

 

 

          (c) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;

 

 

 

          (d) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at


7


 >

 >

 >

 

the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller 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 shares, 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 or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;

 

 

 

          (e) List all such Registrable Securities registered in such registration on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

 

 

 

          (f) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

 

 

 

          (g) Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers and directors to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such registration statement;

 

 

 

          (h) Furnish to each selling Holder upon request a signed counterpart, addressed to each such selling Holder, of

 

 

 

 

          (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of the registration statement in form reasonably acceptable to the Company and such counsel, and

 

 

 

 

 

          (ii) “comfort” letters signed by the Company’s independent public accountants who have examined and reported on the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement, to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and accountants’ “comfort” letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities;

 

 

 

 

          (i) Furnish to each selling Holder upon request a copy of all documents filed with and all correspondence from or to the Commission in connection with any such offering; and

 

 

 

 

          (j) Make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first month after the

8


.

 >

 

effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

                    5.2 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the Holders proposing to register Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and their intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the action to be taken by the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 12) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

                    5.3 In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under this Agreement, the Company will give the Holders on whose behalf such Registrable Securities are to be registered and their underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants, the opportunity to review such registration statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and will give each such Holder such access to the Company’s books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers, its counsel and the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements, as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders or such underwriters or their respective counsel, in order to conduct a reasonable and diligent investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.

          6. Indemnification.

                    6.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation there under applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, and each Person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and based upon written information

9


furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein.

                    6.2 Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by him are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company (other than such Holder) or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other such Holder and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each Person controlling such Holder or other stockholder, against all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter or control Person, each other Holder and each of their officers, directors and partners and each Person controlling such Holder or other stockholder for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein.

                    6.3 Notices of Claims, Procedures, etc. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Party’s sole expense, 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 under this Section 7 unless such failure is prejudicial to the ability of Indemnifying Party to defend such claim or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such litigation, proceeding or other action if (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, or (ii) the named parties in any such claims (including any impleaded parties) include any such Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been advised in writing (in suitable detail) by counsel to the Indemnified Party either (A) that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (B) that there is a conflict of interest by virtue of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties having common counsel, in any of which events, the legal fees and expenses of a single counsel for all Indemnified Parties with respect to each such claim, defense thereof, or counterclaims

10


thereto shall be borne by Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably required and furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

          7. Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 12) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

          8. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted by the Company under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of any Registrable Securities; provided that the Company is given written notice at or prior to the time of said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of a Holder under this Agreement to the Company and other Holders in effect at the time of transfer under all effective agreements.

          9. Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in Section 2 or Section 3 above after the earlier of, as to each Holder, the time at which such Holder (i) has sold all shares of Common Stock to which this agreement applies, or (ii) can sell all shares of Common Stock held by it and to which this agreement applies without restriction in compliance with Rule 144(k).

          10. Exchange Act Compliance. So long as the Company remains subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and will take all actions reasonably necessary to enable holders of Registrable Securities to sell such securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the provisions of (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, if applicable or (c) any similar rules or regulations hereunder adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. After any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 or

11


144A, the Company will, to the extent allowed by law, cause any restrictive legends to be removed and any transfer restrictions to be rescinded with respect to such Registrable Securities. In order to permit a Holder to sell the same, if it so desires, pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated by the Commission (or any successor to such rule), the Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission applicable in connection with use of Rule 144A (or any successor thereto). Prospective transferees of Registrable Securities that are Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined in Rule 144A) that would be purchasing such Registrable Securities in reliance upon Rule 144A may request from the Company information regarding the business, operations and assets of the Company. Within five (5) business days of any such request, the Company shall deliver to any such prospective transferee copies of annual audited and quarterly unaudited financial statements of the Company and such other information as may be required to be supplied by the Company for it to comply with Rule 144A.

          11. No Conflict of Rights. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which grants, or modifies any existing agreement with respect to its securities to grant, to the holder of its securities equal or higher priority to the rights granted to the Holders under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

          12. Lockup Agreement. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations hereunder, the Holders of Registrable Securities agree in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities (which includes Registrable Securities of at least $75,000 in value) pursuant to Section 3 hereof that, upon the request of the Company not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than those shares included in such registration) without the prior written consent of the Company for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company may specify.

          13. Benefits of Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, legal representatives and heirs. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any other Person.

          14. Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding among the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all existing agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, among them. No alteration or modification of any provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed, on the one hand, by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and, on the other, by the Company.

          15. Section Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12

INCENTRA SOLUTIONS ACQUIRES HELIO SOLUTIONS,
LEADING PROVIDER OF IT AND DATA CENTER SOLUTIONS IN CALIFORNIA/ARIZONA

          Boulder, CO, August 20, 2007– Incentra Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: ICNS), a provider of complete IT and storage management solutions to enterprises and managed service providers in North America and Europe, today announced that it has acquired Santa Clara, CA-based Helio Solutions, Inc. (www.heliosolutions.com) for approximately $10.3 million, subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments. The price paid at closing included $5 million in cash, six million restricted shares of Incentra common stock and the issuance of an unsecured, convertible three-year note for $770,000. Based on meeting certain performance thresholds in each of the three years following closing, the sellers are eligible to receive additional consideration consisting of a combination of cash and restricted shares of Incentra common stock. The sellers have entered into a multi-year year lockup and voting agreement covering all Incentra common stock received in the transaction.

          Privately-held Helio, which is a premier provider of IT and secure data center solutions to mid-tier enterprises and Fortune 1000 companies, had sales of approximately $75 million for the 12 months ended June30, 2007.

          Helio will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Incentra Solutions and continue to operate from its offices in Santa Clara, San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, AZ. The acquisition will add a staff of approximately 60 professionals and more than 350 customers to Incentra’s existing operations, and Helio president Dave Condensa will remain with the business and report directly to Incentra Solutions President and Chief Operating Officer Shawn O’Grady.

          Incentra Solutions Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Sweeney said that acquiring Helio will significantly strengthen Incentra’s presence in California and Arizona. The acquisition is another important step in the Company’s strategy to rapidly grow revenues by acquiring systems integrators with existing direct sales organizations serving the enterprise market. With the addition of Helio revenue, Incentra is well positioned to enter 2008 with an annual revenue run rate of more than $200 million.

          “In addition to the investments we are making in organic growth, as we have previously demonstrated we will continue to seek strategic opportunities to grow through acquisition, when appropriate,” Sweeney said. “Helio brings to Incentra experienced management and an excellent professional staff with a successful track record. With its large base of well established customers, it meets our strategic goal of providing significant opportunities to increase sales of our value


added services including First Call and Enhanced First Call support services, professional services and our GridWorks remote monitoring and management system.”

          Dave Condensa said, “Joining Incentra Solutions is a significant move for our employees and our customer base. It not only creates attractive career opportunities for our professional staff, it adds critically important service offerings to our product line to help solve our customer’s growing data management requirements. The entire Helio organization is very excited about becoming part of Incentra for we believe this business combination positions the Company as the most complete provider of IT products and value added service solutions on the west coast.”

          Pagemill Partners, headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, advised Incentra Solutions regarding the acquisition.
