Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On April 7, 2010, Generex Biotechnology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Seaside 88, LP, a Florida limited partnership (“Seaside”), relating to the offering and sale (the “Offering”) of up to 49,455,130 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).  The Common Stock Purchase Agreement requires the Company to issue and sell, and Seaside to purchase, up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock once every two (2) weeks (except the number of shares sold in the last closing will not exceed 1,455,130), subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and certain exceptions, beginning on April 8, 2010 (the “Initial Closing”) and ending on or about the date that is forty eight (48) weeks subsequent to the Initial Closing; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue and sell more than 49,455,130 shares of Common Stock (the “Cap”), without first obtaining stockholder approval.   The offering price of the Common Stock at each closing is an amount equal to the lower of (i) the daily volume weighted average of actual trading prices of the Common Stock on the trading market (the “VWAP”) for the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to a Closing Date multiplied by 0.89 and (ii) the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to a Closing Date multiplied by 0.95.
 
In the event that the Per Share Purchase Price, as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, does not equal or exceed $0.33 (the “Floor”), as calculated with respect to any subsequent closing date, then such subsequent closing will not occur, and there will be one fewer subsequent closing, and the aggregate number of shares of common stock that will be purchased under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement will be reduced by 2,000,000 or fewer shares in accordance with the Cap.  Seaside also has the option to reduce (but not increase) the number of Shares purchased at any subsequent closing such that the dollar amount of the investment at such closing is an amount equal to two times the amount invested by Seaside at the immediately preceding closing.
 
The Common Stock Purchase Agreement provides that Seaside may, immediately upon written notice to the Company, terminate the Common Stock Purchase Agreement if at any time prior to the final subsequent closing date the Company consummates a financing (other than straight debt financing not accompanied by the issuance or potential issuance of shares of common stock or any common stock equivalent) to which Seaside is not a party that results in gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $5,000,000, and that the Company may, upon two days’ prior written notice to Seaside, terminate the Common Stock Purchase Agreement for any reason.  The Common Stock Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties and covenants for each party, which must be true and have been performed at each closing.
 
The Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Seaside against certain liabilities in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
 
The price per share for the Initial Closing was $0.47259, and the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $945,180 at such Initial Closing, before estimated offering expenses of approximately $107,807 which includes placement agent fees.  The amounts to be raised in subsequent closings are not estimable as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
The Offering is made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-164591), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2010.  The Company, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement relating to the Offering.
 
In connection with the Offering, pursuant to a placement agency agreement entered into by and between Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (“Midtown”) and the Company on June 8, 2009, as amended by letter agreement dated August 5, 2009, August 18, 2009, September 11, 2009 and April 7, 2010, the Company will pay Midtown  a cash fee representing 4% of the gross purchase price paid by Seaside for the Shares at each closing.  In addition, at each closing, the Company will issue Midtown, or its permitted assigns, a five-year warrant to purchase the number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to 2.5% of the sum of the number of Shares issued to the investor at such closing.  The shares underlying Midtown’s warrants will be issued pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement. The warrants provides for cashless exercise in the event there is no registration statement covering the underlying warrant shares.  The exercise price per share will be equal to the Per Share Purchase Price paid by Seaside at each respective closing. The Company may also reimburse the placement agent for certain fees and legal expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the Offering.
 
On April 8, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Initial Closing.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 
 
The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Placement Agent Agreement and the form of the warrant issued to the placement agent and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder.  The foregoing description of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.   The foregoing description of the Placement Agent Agreement, the amendments thereto, and the form of warrant issued to the placement agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Placement Agent Agreement, the amendments thereto,  and the form of warrant issued to the placement agent, which are filed as Exhibits 1.1, 1.2 and 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements related to the anticipated subsequent closings of the Offering.  The risks and uncertainties involved include the Company’s ability to satisfy certain conditions to closing on a timely basis or at all, the substantial dilution to current stockholders as a result of the purchase price discount offered to Seaside, and the market overhang of shares available for sale that may develop as a result of the subsequent resale by Seaside of the Shares it may purchase under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXHIBIT 4.1

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
 
GENEREX BIOTECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
 
Warrant Shares:  n                                                                                     Issuance Date:  _____, 2010
 
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date that is 183 days after date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the five (5) year anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to which this warrant relate in accordance with FINRA rule 5110(f)(2)(H)(i)(the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Generex Biotechnology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to n shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share;.  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
 
Section 1.            Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated April 7, 2010, among the Company and the purchaser signatory thereto.
 
Section 2.            Exercise.
 
a)          Exercise of Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank and, if this Warrant is exercised in full, the Holder shall have surrendered this Warrant to the Company or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of such notice.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.  For this purpose, the Company’s records shall be conclusively binding on any transferee or assignee.

b)           Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.__, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
 
c)           Cashless Exercise.  If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder and all of the Warrant Shares are not then registered for resale by the Holder into the market at market prices from time to time on an effective registration statement for use on a continuous basis (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use), then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
 
(A) =
 the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

(B) =
 the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 
(X) =  
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time), (b)  if the Common Stock then is listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

d)           Mechanics of Exercise.
 
i.      Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise.  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (i) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form, (ii) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (iii) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”).  If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or is exercised using a “cashless exercise” or if the legend is not required under applicable securities laws, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company.  The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

ii.           Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii.           Rescission Rights.  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
 
iv.           Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

v.      No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
vi.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
 
vii.           Closing of Books.  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

e)           Holder’s Exercise Limitations.  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.     Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
 
Section 3.             Certain Adjustments.
 
a)           Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
b)          [intentionally omitted]

c)           Pro Rata Distributions.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

d)           Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, including, but not limited to, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.  “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) if applicable, the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.  The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, applied however, with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the Exchange Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

e)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
f)           Notice to Holder.
 
i.      Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii.           Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.  The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
 
Section 4.             Transfer of Warrant.
 
a)           Transferability.  This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer except that in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110 (g) (1) this Warrant and the underlying securities shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by the person for a period of 180 days immediately following effectiveness of the offering to which this warrant relates.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

b)           New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
 
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
 
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
 
e)           Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
f)           Restrictions.  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered pursuant to an effective registration statement, and the Holder does not exercise via “cashless exercise”, may have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
 
 
12

 
 
g)           Nonwaiver and Expenses.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.  Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 
h)           Notices.  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
 
i)           Limitation of Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
j)           Remedies.  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
k)           Successors and Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
 
l)           Amendment.  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
 
m)           Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
n)           Headings.  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 (a)         Subsidiaries.  All of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are listed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as modified by any subsequent SEC Reports filed with the SEC (each a “Subsidiary”).  The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Liens, and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.  If the Company has no subsidiaries, then references in the Transaction Documents to the Subsidiaries will be disregarded.

 
6

 

(b)         Organization and Qualification.  The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents.  Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and, to the knowledge of the Company, no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
 
(c)         Authorization; Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder.  The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and its stockholders, except for stockholder approval for the issuance of Shares in excess of the Cap, and no further action is required by the Company or its stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals.  Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
 
(d)         No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Shares at each Closing and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, violate or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement (written or oral), credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of (x) any law, rule or regulation to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (y) any order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority that names the Company or a Subsidiary or to or by which, to the Company’s knowledge, the Company or a Subsidiary or any property or asset thereof is bound or affected, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 
7

 

(e)         Filings, Consents and Approvals.  The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, the Trading Market or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than (i) the filing of the Prospectus Supplement, (ii) any notice filings or SEC Reports as are required to be made prior to the Initial Closing and which have been filed or made or as are required to be filed or made following each Closing Date under applicable federal and state securities laws or under applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market and (iii) stockholder approval for the issuance of Shares in excess of the Cap (collectively, the “Required Approvals”).
 
(f)         Issuance of the Shares.  The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens.  The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement subject to the Cap.  The issuance by the Company to Seaside, or the resale by Seaside, of the Shares has been registered under the Securities Act and all of the Shares when delivered will be freely transferable and tradable on the Trading Market by Seaside without restriction (other than any restrictions arising solely from an act or omission of Seaside).  The Registration Statement is effective and available for the issuance or resale of the Shares thereunder and the Company has not received any notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop-order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened in writing to do so.  The “Plan of Distribution” section under the Registration Statement as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement permits the issuance and sale or resale of the Shares hereunder.

(j)          Litigation.  Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or Section 3.1(j) of the Disclosure Schedules, there is no Proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Shares or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Proceeding involving a claim or violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been and, to the knowledge of the Company, there is not currently pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company (in his or her capacity as such).  The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, to the Company’s knowledge, no proceeding for such purpose is pending before or threatened by the Commission.
 
(k)         Compliance.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body naming the Company or a Subsidiary or of which the Company has knowledge, or (iii) is in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or the Trading Market, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business, except for the failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and except in each case as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 
10

 

(l)          Listing and Maintenance Requirements.  The Company’s Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration.  The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof or any Closing Date, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted (as applicable) to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or quotation (as applicable) and maintenance requirements of such Trading Market other than notices regarding potential de-listing due to the failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market, as reported in the SEC Reports.  The Company is, and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will be, in compliance with all such listing or quotation (as applicable) and maintenance requirements.
 
(m)        Application of Takeover Protections.  The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) and the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to Seaside as a result of Seaside and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Shares and Seaside’s ownership of the Shares.
 
(n)         Effective Registration Statement.  The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and remains effective as of the date hereof and the Company knows of no reason why the Registration Statement will not continue to remain effective for the foreseeable future.  The Company is eligible to use Form S-3 registration statements for the issuance of securities.
 
(o)         Acknowledgment Regarding Seaside’s Purchase of Shares.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that Seaside is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The Company further acknowledges that Seaside is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by Seaside or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to Seaside’s purchase of the Shares.  The Company further represents to Seaside that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company and its agents and representatives.
 
(p)         Approvals.  The issuance and listing or quotation (as applicable) on the Trading Market of the Shares requires no further approvals, including but not limited to, the approval of stockholders except for stockholder approval for the issuance of Shares in excess of the Cap.

 
11

 

(q)         Intellectual Property.  The Company possesses such right, title and interest in and to, or possesses legal rights to use, all patents, patent rights, trade secrets, inventions, know-how, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, service marks and other proprietary rights (“Intellectual Property”) material to the conduct of the Company’s business except Intellectual Property the failure of which to possess would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not received any notice of infringement, misappropriation or conflict from any third party as to Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed to the Company that has not been resolved or disposed of, which infringement, misappropriation or conflict would if adversely decided have a Material Adverse Effect.  To the Company’s knowledge, it has not infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise conflicted with the Intellectual Property of any third parties, which infringement, misappropriation or conflict would if adversely decided have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(r)         Permits.  The Company has made all filings, applications and submissions required by, and possesses all approvals, licenses, certificates, certifications, clearances, consents, exemptions, marks, notifications, orders, permits and other authorizations issued by, the appropriate federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to own or lease its properties and to conduct its businesses (collectively, “Permits”), except for such Permits the failure of which to possess or obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has not received any written notice of proceedings relating to the limitation, revocation, cancellation, suspension, modification or non-renewal of any such Permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect, and has no reason to believe that any such Permit will not be renewed in the ordinary course.
 
(s)         Disclosure.  The Company confirms that neither the Company nor any officer, director or employee of the Company acting on its behalf (as such term is used in Regulation FD) has provided Seaside or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information except insofar as the existence and terms of the proposed transactions hereunder may constitute such information.  The Company understands and confirms that Seaside will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.  None of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein, nor any statement made by the Company in any disclosure, schedule, exhibit, certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to Seaside in connection herewith, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(t)         No Brokers or Finders.  Other than Midtown Partners & Co., LLC, no agent, broker, investment banker or other firm is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any commission or similar fee from the Company in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
3.2          Representations and Warranties of Seaside.  Seaside hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth below to the Company as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date (provided that representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date shall continue to be true and correct as of such Closing with respect to such date):

 
12

 

(a)         Organization; Authority.  Seaside is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Florida, with full right, power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted and to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance by Seaside of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each other Transaction Document have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seaside and no such further action is required.  Each Transaction Document to which Seaside is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by Seaside, and, when delivered by Seaside in accordance with the terms thereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Seaside, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
 
(b)         Experience of Seaside.  Seaside, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Seaside is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
 
(c)         Short Sales.  Seaside has not directly or indirectly executed any Short Sales or other hedging transactions in the securities of the Company through the date hereof.
 
(d)         No Brokers or Finders.  No agent, broker, investment banker or other firm is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any commission or similar fee from Seaside in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
 
4.1           No Transfer Restrictions.  Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend restricting their transferability by Seaside.  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect a transfer of any of the Shares; such opinion shall be provided by the Company’s counsel at no expense to Seaside.
 
4.2           Furnishing of Information.  As long as Seaside owns Shares, the Company covenants to use its best efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.  As long as Seaside owns Shares that are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 that it has owned for less than one year in accordance with Rule 144(d), if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to Seaside and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for Seaside to sell the Shares under Rule 144.

 
13

 

4.3           Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company shall timely file a Current Report on Form 8-K which attaches as exhibits all agreements relating to this transaction, in each case reasonably acceptable to Seaside and its counsel, disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
4.4           Shareholders Rights Plan.  No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person that Seaside is an “Acquiring Person” or similar designation under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that Seaside could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and Seaside.  The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
4.5           Non-Public Information.  The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide Seaside or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information.  The Company understands and confirms that Seaside shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.  Seaside covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its counsel not to, knowingly request from the Company or any person acting on the Company’s behalf any material non-public information.
 
4.6           Indemnification of Seaside.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.6, the Company will indemnify and hold Seaside, Seaside’s Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, employees and agents (each, a “Seaside Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any suit or action in respect thereof to which any Seaside Party is or may become a party under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses arise out of or are based on (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus Supplement, or (b) 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, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such liability, obligation, claim, demand, contingency, damage, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by and regarding Seaside expressly for inclusion therein.  If any action shall be brought against any Seaside Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Seaside Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing.  Any Seaside Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Seaside Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Seaside Party such that common representation would be unethical or ineffective.  The Company will not be liable to any Seaside Party under this Agreement (x) for any settlement by a Seaside Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (y) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, liability, obligation, claim, demand, damage, cost or expense is attributable to any Seaside Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Seaside in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.  The Company shall not settle any action or claim against a Seaside Party without the prior written consent of such Seaside Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Company may settle any such action or claim (in whole or in part) without such consent if the Company obtains a complete and unconditional release of the affected Seaside Party.

 
14

 

4.7           Listing or Quotation of Common Stock.  The Company hereby agrees to use its best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation (as applicable) of the Common Stock on its current Trading Market, provided that best efforts shall not require the expenditure of time or money that is unreasonable in light of the likelihood of success of the efforts.  The Company further agrees that, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application all of the Shares and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.  The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing or quotation (as applicable) and trading of its Common Stock on each Trading Market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted (as applicable) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such Trading Market(s).
 
4.8           Stockholder Approval.  The Company shall not issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, if such issuance would require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable rules of the Trading Market, unless and until such stockholder approval is obtained.
 
4.9           Short Sales.  Seaside covenants that neither it nor any Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales in the securities of the Company from the date hereof until the final Subsequent Closing contemplated hereby.
 
4.10         Prospectus Supplement.  The Company will use its best efforts to file the Prospectus Supplement in accordance with the requirements of Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act on or before the Initial Closing Date and, if required, before each Subsequent Closing Date.

 
15

 
 
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
 
5.1          Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated:
 
(a)           by Seaside, by written notice to the Company, if the Initial Closing has not been consummated on or before April 9, 2010,
 
(b)           by Seaside, immediately upon written notice to the Company, if at any time prior to the final Subsequent Closing Date the Company consummates a financing (other than straight debt financing which is not accompanied by the issuance or potential issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent) to which Seaside is not a party that results in gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $5 million, and
 
(c)           by the Company, upon at least two (2)  days’ prior written notice to Seaside,
 
provided, however, that no such termination pursuant to this Section 5.1 will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).
 
5.2          Fees and Expenses.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and as set forth in this Section 5.2, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its own advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Initial Closing the Company shall reimburse Seaside for the fees and expenses of Seaside Counsel in an amount equal to $25,000 and at each Subsequent Closing the Company shall reimburse Seaside for the fees and expenses of Seaside Counsel in an amount equal to $2,500.  Such legal fees may be withheld by Seaside from the amount to be paid for the Shares purchased at the Initial Closing and any Subsequent Closing.
 
5.3          Entire Agreement.  The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto (including the Disclosure Schedules), contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
 
5.4          Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via electronic mail or facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via electronic mail or facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (Eastern time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.

 
16

 
 
5.5          Amendments; Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Seaside or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
 
5.6          Headings.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
 
5.7          Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Seaside.  Seaside may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.
 
5.8          No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.6.
 
5.9          Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.  If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
 
5.10        Survival.  The representations and warranties herein shall survive the Closings and delivery of the Shares.
 
5.11        Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or email transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email signature page were an original thereof.

 
17

 

5.12        Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
 
5.13        Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever Seaside exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then Seaside may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
 
5.14        Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, Seaside and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of the obligations set forth herein and hereby agree to waive in any such action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
5.15        Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that either party hereto makes a payment or payments to the other party hereto pursuant to any Transaction Document or enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the other party, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
5.16        Construction.  The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

Safe Harbor Statement

This release and oral statements made from time to time by Generex representatives in respect of the same subject matter may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our statements related to the shares to be sold in the future pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement with Seaside and the impact thereof on our business.   These statements can be identified by introductory words such as “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “will,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” or words of similar meaning, and by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.  Forward-looking statements frequently are used in discussing potential product applications, potential collaborations, product development activities, clinical studies, regulatory submissions and approvals, and similar operating matters. Many factors may cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements, including inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of risks and uncertainties, some of which are known and others of which are not.  Known risks and uncertainties include those identified from time to time in the reports filed by Generex with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which should be considered together with any forward-looking statement.  The risks and uncertainties involved include Generex’s ability to satisfy certain conditions to closing on a timely basis or at all, the substantial dilution to current stockholders as a result of the purchase price discount offered to Seaside, and the market overhang of shares available for sale that may develop as a result of the subsequent resale by Seaside of the shares it may purchase under the common stock purchase agreement.  No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results or events, and one should avoid placing undue reliance on such statements.  Generex undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Generex cannot be sure when or if it will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake additional clinical trials or to commence any particular phase of clinical trials.  Because of this, statements regarding the expected timing of clinical trials cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when Generex will obtain regulatory approval for any “phase” of clinical trials.  Generex claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements that is contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
