Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Facility Agreement
On March 13, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), Insulet Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to loan to the Company up to $60,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Facility Agreement (the “Financing”). Following the initial disbursement of $27,500,000 within fifteen business days of the Effective Date, the Company may, but is not required to, draw down on the facility in $6,500,000 increments at any time until November 2010 provided that the Company meets certain financial milestones. While the Company can not provide assurance that it will meet any or all of these financial milestones, based upon current estimates and assumptions, the Company expects to be able, at its discretion, to draw down at least an additional $26,000,000 under this facility. Any amounts drawn under the Facility Agreement accrue interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum, payable quarterly in cash in arrears beginning on June 1, 2009. The Company will pay interest at a rate of 2.75% per annum on undrawn amounts. The funds drawn are repayable in September 2012. The Company has the right to prepay any amounts owed without penalty unless such prepayment is in connection with a major transaction. In connection with the Financing, the Company paid Deerfield Management Company, L.P., an affiliate of the lead Lender, a one-time transaction fee of $1,200,000.
Additionally, any amounts drawn under the Facility Agreement may become immediately due and payable upon (i) an “event of default,” as defined in the Facility Agreement, in which case the Lenders would have the right to require the Company to re-pay 100% of the principal amount of the loan, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, or (ii) the consummation of certain change of control transactions, in which case the Lenders would have the right to require the Company to re-pay 106% of the outstanding principal amount of the loan, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Events of default under the Facility Agreement generally include: (i) failure to make payment when due; (ii) failure to comply in any material respect with any covenant of the Facility Agreement or the notes issued under the Facility Agreement, and such failure is not cured; (iii) any representation or warranty made by the Company in any transaction document was incorrect, false, or misleading in any material respect as of the date it was made; (iv) the Company is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due or a bankruptcy or similar proceeding has commenced by or against the Company; (v) one or more judgments against the Company exceeding $250,000 in the aggregate remain unpaid for a period of 30 days; (vi) any license, permit or approval from any government authority is suspended, cancelled or revoked; (vii) any authorization necessary for the execution, delivery or performance of any transaction documents or the validity or enforceability of the obligations under the transaction documents ceases to remain in full force and effect; (viii) the Company fails to comply in any material respect with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (ix) a cross default of any indebtedness in an amount more than $250,000; (ix) if an Event of Default (as defined in the Warrants) has occurred while Lender is a holder of any of the Warrants; and (x) cash, cash equivalents, receivables and finished goods on the last day of each calendar quarter are less than $15,000,000 or 50% of the loan then outstanding.
The Facility Agreement also contains various representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants, customary for financings of this type.
Warrants
Upon execution of the Facility Agreement, the Company issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,750,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $3.13 per share (the “Initial Warrants”) in connection with the initial $27,500,000 draw down from the facility. As noted above, pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Company has the right to request from the Lenders one or more cash disbursements in the minimum amount of $6,500,000 per disbursement, and each such disbursement will be accompanied by the issuance to the Lenders of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to 120% of the average volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the fifteen consecutive trading days beginning with the date following receipt by the Lenders of the disbursement request. If the Company, in its discretion, draws down the entire $60 million credit facility, the Company will have issued warrants to purchase a total of 5.25 million shares of its common stock. The number of shares into which a warrant is exercisable and the exercise price of any warrant will be adjusted to reflect any adjustments in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock.

 


Table of Contents

Each Warrant issued under the Facility Agreement expires on the sixth anniversary of its issuance and contains certain limitations that prevent the holder from acquiring shares upon exercise of a Warrant that would result in the number of shares beneficially owned by it to exceed 9.98% of the total number of shares of Company common stock then issued and outstanding.
Absent a major transaction, the holder of a Warrant may exercise the Warrant on either a cash or cashless basis. In connection with a major transaction that constitutes a change of control of the Company, the holder also has the option to receive a number of shares equal to the Black-Scholes value of the warrant (based on the transaction price) divided by, in a cash transaction, the closing price of the Company’s common stock the day before closing or, in a stock-for-stock transaction, 95% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock the day before closing.
For the term of the Warrant, the Company has agreed not to sell shares of its common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of its common stock, except in a registered public offering or shelf takedown, in a transaction that does not trigger Nasdaq’s shareholder approval requirements, to partners in connection with a joint venture, distribution or other partnering arrangement, upon the exercise of options granted to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and consultants, issuances of restricted stock to, or purchase of common stock under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan by, employees, officers, directors or consultants, or upon the exercise of the Warrants.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Financing, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Lenders obligating the Company to register for resale the shares of the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants on a registration statement on Form S-3 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within twenty days after the issuance date of the Warrants.
Security Agreement
In connection with the Financing, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with the Lenders, pursuant to which, as security for the Company’s repayment obligations under the Facility Agreement, the Company granted to the Lenders a security interest in its accounts, receivables, equipment, intellectual property and other general intangibles, inventory, investment property, and all proceeds and products thereof.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 relating to the Facility Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The Warrants described in Item 1.01 above were offered and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Facility Agreement contains representations to support the Company’s reasonable belief that the Lenders had access to information concerning its operations and financial condition, that the Lenders are acquiring the Warrants for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that the Lenders are “accredited investors” as defined by Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers, Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 11, 2009, Shawna Gvazdauskas resigned as the Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing of the Company.

Warrant to Purchase Common Stock
of
INSULET CORPORATION
THIS CERTIFIES that [                    ] or any subsequent holder hereof (“Holder”) has the right to purchase from INSULET CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), [______(___)] fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at a price equal to the Exercise Price as defined in Section 3 below, at any time during the Term (as defined below).
Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock of the Company (this “Warrant” or this “Agreement”) is issued and all rights hereunder shall be held subject to all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.
1. Date of Issuance and Term.
This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on March 13, 2009 (“Date of Issuance”). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is six (6) years after the Date of Issuance (the “Term”). This Warrant was issued in conjunction with that certain Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) and the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between the Company and [                    ], each dated March 13, 2009, entered into in conjunction herewith.
(a) 9.98% Cap. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “9.98% Cap”); provided, however, that the 9.98% Cap shall not apply with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise (as defined below) in connection with a Qualified Change of Control Transaction (as defined below) to the extent that the number of shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates in the successor entity immediately following consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction does not exceed 9.98% of the outstanding common stock of such successor entity and provided, further, that the 9.98% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the

1


 

Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
“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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). With respect to a Holder of Warrants, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Holder will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Holder.
“Holder” means [                    ] and any transferee or assignee pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
(b) Exchange Cap. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and all other Warrants issued pursuant to the Facility Agreement between the Company and lenders named therein dated as of March 13, 2009 shall not exceed 5,565,009 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Exchange Cap”). The Company shall not be obligated to issue such shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap.
2. Exercise.
(a) Manner of Exercise. During the Term, this Warrant may be Exercised as to all or any lesser number of whole shares of Common Stock covered hereby (the “Warrant Shares” or the “Shares”) upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Form”) duly completed and executed, together with the full Exercise Price (as defined below, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Insulet Corporation, 9 Oak Park Drive, Bedford, MA 01730; Phone: (781) 457-5000, Fax: (781) 457-5011, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the Exercise Form sent to the Company and its transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) by facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price hereinafter called the “Exercise” of this Warrant).
(b) Date of Exercise. The “Date of Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, completed and executed, is sent by facsimile to the Company, provided that the original Warrant and Exercise Form are received by the Company and the Exercise Price is satisfied, each as soon as practicable thereafter. Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original Exercise Form is received by the Company, if Holder has not sent advance notice by facsimile. Upon delivery of the Exercise Form to the Company by facsimile or otherwise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been Exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be; provided, however, that in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the consummation of such Qualified Change of Control Transaction and provided, further, that in the event of a Cashless Major Exercise triggered by an event set forth in Section 5(c)(i)(G), the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares issuable upon such exercise immediately following the occurrence of the Major Transaction.
(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Exercise. Within three (3) business days after any Date of Exercise, or in the case of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise (each as defined in Section 5(c) below), within the period provided in Section 5(c)(iv) or Section 3(c), as applicable (the “Delivery Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its Transfer Agent to issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon the order of the Holder that number of shares of Common Stock (“Exercise Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant converted as shall be determined in accordance herewith. Upon the Exercise of this Warrant or any part hereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion

 


 

of counsel, to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Exercise representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the Transfer Agent and that, unless waived by the Holder, this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Exercise Shares if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met.
(d) Delivery Failure. In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery Failure”), the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Exercise Form by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described herein shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
(e) Legends.
(i) Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold (including following a sale or transfer pursuant to a “4(1) and half” transaction referred to in Section 8(b) , this Warrant, the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULES 144 OR 144A UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4(1) AND A HALF” SALE.”
“THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ASSIGNMENT, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 13, 2009, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. This Warrant and the certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares and the Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Warrant, Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (D) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant, the Exercise Shares or the Failure Payment Shares, then such Warrant, Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than three

 


 

(3) Trading Days following the delivery (the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of this Warrant and a certificate representing Exercise Shares and/or Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder this Warrant and/or a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “Effective Date” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.
(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from this Warrant and any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell this Warrant or any Exercise Shares and/or any Failure Payment Shares, as applicable, pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
(f) Cancellation of Warrant. This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise, of this Warrant, and, as soon as practical after the Date of Exercise, Holder shall be entitled to receive Common Stock for the number of shares purchased upon such Exercise of this Warrant, and if this Warrant is not Exercised in full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant in addition to such Common Stock.
(g) Holder of Record. Each person in whose name any Warrant for shares of Common Stock is issued shall, for all purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Common Stock purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant.
(h) Delivery of Electronic Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise or legend removal, or representing Failure Payment Shares, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system. The time periods for delivery and penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery of physical certificates.
(i) Buy-In. If the Company fails to cause its Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates, or electronic shares through DWAC, representing the Exercise Shares pursuant to an Exercise on or before the Delivery Period, 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 Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such Exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder the amount 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 (A) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the Exercise at issue times and (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. 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 to cover the sale of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, 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, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company. 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.

 


 

3. Payment of Warrant Exercise Price for Cash Exercise or Cashless Exercise; Cashless Major Exercise and Cashless Default Exercise.
(a) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price (“Exercise Price”) shall initially equal $3.13 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof, including but not limited to Section 5 below.
Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by either of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Holder:
(i) Cash Exercise: The Holder may exercise this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check or wire transfer (a “Cash Exercise”); or
(ii) Cashless Exercise: The Holder, at its option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction. In order to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
X = Y (A-B)/A
where:   X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is being Exercised.
A = the Market Price of one (1) share of Common Stock (for purposes of this Section 3(a)(ii), where “Market Price,” as of any date, means the Volume Weighted Average Price (as defined herein) of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date in question.
B = the Exercise Price.
As used herein, the “Volume Weighted Average Price” for the Common Stock as of any date means the volume weighted average sale price (based on trades occurring during regular hours trading during a Trading Day) of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. using the AQR function or an equivalent, reliable reporting service mutually acceptable to and hereafter designated by Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants and the Company (“Bloomberg”) or, if NASDAQ is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, the volume weighted average sale price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no volume weighted average sale price is reported for the Common Stock, then the last closing trade price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no last closing trade price is reported for the Common Stock by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the over the counter market by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or in the “pink sheets” maintained by the Pink OTC Market, Inc. If the Volume Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on such date in the manner provided above, the volume weighted average price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants being Exercised for which the calculation of the volume weighted average price is required in order to determine the Exercise Price of such Warrants. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Sock is traded for any period on NASDAQ, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
For purposes of Rule 144 and sub-section (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the holding period for the Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant in a Cashless Exercise transaction shall be deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.

 


 

(b) Cashless Major Exercise: To the extent the Holder shall exercise this Warrant or any portion thereof as a Cashless Major Exercise pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) below, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the Exercise Form indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant (or such portion thereof) pursuant to a Cashless Major Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Black-Scholes Value (as defined in Section 5(c)(iii) below) of the Warrant (or such applicable portion being exercised) divided by 95% of the closing price of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the applicable Major Transaction is consummated.
(c) Cashless Default Exercise. To the extent the Holder exercises this Warrant as a Cashless Default Exercise pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) below, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the principal office of the Company together with the Exercise Form indicating that the Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days of the applicable Default Notice, a number of shares of Common Stock (which shares shall be valued at 95% of the Volume Weighted Average Price for the five (5) Trading Days prior to the applicable Default Notice) equal to the greater of (A) the Black-Scholes value (determined by use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the criteria set forth on Schedule I hereto) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice and (B) the Black-Scholes value (determined by use of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the criteria set forth on Schedule I hereto) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Exercise Shares in respect of such Cashless Default Exercise are issued to the Holder.
(d) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) business days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the Exercise Notice or Major Transaction Early Termination Notice, or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) business days submit via facsimile (i) the disputed determination of the closing price or the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Company’s Common Stock to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price or any Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) business days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
4. Transfer and Registration.
(a) Transfer Rights. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Warrant, this Warrant may be transferred on the books of the Company, in whole or in part, in person or by attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly completed and endorsed. This Warrant shall be canceled upon such surrender and, as soon as practicable thereafter, the person to whom such transfer is made shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant or Warrants as to the portion of this Warrant transferred, and Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant as to the portion hereof retained.
(b) Registrable Securities. The Common Stock issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant has registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
5. Adjustments Upon Certain Events.
(a) Participation. The Holder, as the holder of this Warrant, shall be entitled to receive such dividends paid and distributions of any kind made to the holders of Common Stock of the Company to the same extent as if the Holder had Exercised this Warrant into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and

 


 

distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock.
(b) Recapitalization or Reclassification. If the Company shall at any time effect a stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar transaction of such character that the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into or become exchangeable for a larger or smaller number of shares, then upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock which Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock by reason of such stock split, payment of stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction, and the Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares, proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares, proportionally increased. The Company shall give Holder the same notice it provides to holders of Common Stock of any transaction described in this Section 5(b).
(c) Rights Upon Major Transaction.
(i) Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction (as defined below) occurs, then (1) in the case of a Cash-Out Major Transaction (as defined below) and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the cash consideration in the Mixed Major Transaction (determined in accordance with the definition of a Mixed Major Transaction below), the Holder, at its option, may require the Company to redeem that portion the Holder’s outstanding Warrants described in Section 5(c)(iii) below and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction to the extent of the percentage of the consideration represented by securities of a Successor Entity in the Mixed Major Transaction, the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant as a Cashless Major Exercise. Any Major Transaction covered by the provisions of Section 5(c)(i)(A)(1) below in which the Company is not the surviving entity (a “Qualified Change of Control Transaction”) shall be treated as an Assumption (as defined below) in accordance with Section 5(c)(ii) if the Company and the Holder agree in writing to such treatment and the Holder shall not have exercised any of its rights under clause (1) or (2) above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder may waive its rights under this Section 5(c)(i) with respect to any Major Transaction. Each of the following events shall constitute a “Major Transaction”:
(A) a consolidation, merger, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, business combination or other similar event, (1) following which the holders of Common Stock immediately preceding such consolidation, merger, exchange, recapitalization, reorganization, combination or event either (a) no longer hold a majority of the shares of Common Stock or (b) no longer have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of the Company or (2) as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into (or the shares of Common Stock become entitled to receive) the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of stock or securities of the Company or another entity (collectively, a “Change of Control Transaction”);
(B) the sale or transfer of significant assets of the Company which shall mean a sale or transfer of assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions for a purchase price of more than $50, 000,000 or a sale or transfer of more than 50% of the Company’s assets;
(C) a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, such that following such purchase, tender or exchange offer a Change of Control Transaction shall have occurred;
(D) any issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock; other than an issuance (1) pursuant to a registered public offering or shelf takedown, (2) in a transaction that does not require shareholder approval, (3) to partners in connection with a joint venture, distribution or other partnering arrangement in a transaction that does not require shareholder approval, (4) upon the exercise of options granted to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and consultants, (5) of restricted stock to, or purchases, of Common Stock under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan by, employees, officers, directors or consultants or (6) upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(E) the liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or winding-up (or the occurrence of any analogous proceeding) affecting the Company;

 


 

(F) the shares of Common Stock cease to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on NASDAQ and are not promptly re-listed or requoted on either the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Alternext U.S., the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market; or
(G) the Common Stock ceases to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
(ii) Termination; Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Qualified Change of Control Transaction that is to be treated as an Assumption pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) unless any Successor Entity (1) assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement  in accordance with the provisions of this Section (ii) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Qualified Change of Control Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Warrants, including, without limitation, representing the appropriate number of shares of the Successor Entity, having similar exercise rights as the Warrants (including but not limited to a similar Exercise Price and similar Exercise Price adjustment provisions based on the price per share or conversion ratio to be received by the holders of Common Stock in the Major Transaction) and similar registration rights as provided by the Registration Rights Agreement , satisfactory to the Holder and (2) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any assumption of the Warrant, any Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Major Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement 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 with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon the assumption of this Warrant, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise or redemption of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Qualified Change of Control Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants prior to such Qualified Change of Control Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Qualified Change of Control Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant other than any applicable beneficial ownership limitations. Immediately prior to the consummation of any Qualified Change of Control Transaction that is not to be treated as an Assumption hereunder, any unexercised or unredeemed portion of this Warrant shall be deemed to be exercised as a Cashless Major Exercise; provided, however, that in the case of a Qualified Change of Control Transaction that constitutes a Cash-Out Major Transaction and in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction that is a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, to the extent of the percentage of the cash consideration in the Mixed Major Transaction (determined in accordance with the definition of a Mixed Major Transaction below), the applicable unexercised or unredeemed portion of this Warrant shall be treated as an Early Termination Upon Major Transaction in exchange for the cash payment to the Holder, concurrently with the consummation of the Qualified Change of Control Transaction, of the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. Any assumption of Company obligations under this paragraph shall be referred to herein as an “Assumption”
(iii) Notice; Major Transaction Early Termination Right; Notice of Cashless Major Exercise. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any Major Transaction, but, in any event, on the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Major Transaction Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction (the “Early Termination Period”), the Holder may require an early termination (an “Early Termination Upon Major Transaction”) of all or any portion of this Warrant not eligible to be treated as a Cashless Major Exercise (without taking into consideration the 9.98% Cap) by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Early Termination Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Early Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the Warrant that the Holder is electing to be subject to an Early Termination Upon Major Transaction. The portion of this Warrant subject to early termination pursuant to this Section 5(c)(iii) (the “Terminated Portion”), shall be terminated by the Company at a price (the “Major Transaction Warrant Early

 


 

Termination Price”) payable to the Holder in cash equal to the “Black Scholes Value” of the Terminated Portion determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the criteria set forth in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Black Scholes Value”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to payment of the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price in cash in respect of a Major Transaction, other than with respect to a Cash-Out Major Transaction and, in the case of a Mixed Major Transaction, to the extent of the percentage of cash consideration in the Mixed Major Transaction (determined in accordance with the definition of a Mixed Major Transaction).
To the extent the Holder shall elect to effect a Cashless Major Exercise in respect of a Major Transaction, the Holder shall deliver its exercise notice in accordance with Section 3(b), within the Early Termination Period.
(iv) Escrow; Payment of Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price. Following the receipt of a Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Major Transaction that is being treated as a Cashless Major Exercise unless it shall first place into an escrow account with an independent escrow agent, at least three (3) business days prior to the closing date of the Major Transaction (the “Major Transaction Escrow Deadline”), an amount in shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Exercise Shares. The Company shall not consummate a Major Transaction unless concurrently with the consummation of such Major Transaction, the Company shall pay the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price and shall instruct the escrow agent to deliver the applicable Exercise Shares to the Holder. For purposes of determining the amount required to be placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (iv) and without affecting the amount of the actual applicable Exercise Shares, the calculation of the price referred to in clause (1) of the first column of Schedule 1 hereto with respect to Stock Price shall be determined (i) in the case of a Qualified Change of Control Transaction, based on the closing market price for shares of the publicly traded Successor Entity on its principal securities exchange on the Trading Day preceding the first public announcement of the Qualified Change of Control Transaction and, (ii) in the case of all other Major Transactions, based on the Closing Market Price (as defined on Schedule I) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that applicable Exercise Shares, as applicable, are deposited with the escrow agent.
(v) Injunction. Following the receipt of a notice of a Cashless Major Exercise from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Major Transaction without placing the applicable Exercise Shares in escrow in accordance with subsection (iv) above, the Holder shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the applicable Exercise Shares are delivered into escrow in accordance with subsection (iv) above.
An early termination required by this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to holders of Common Stock in connection with a Major Transaction except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Holder would be deemed to be a creditor of the Company, in which case the Holder shall be treated on a pari passu basis with the holders of the Common Stock. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall not have the rights senior to the Company’s common shareholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of the Company, provided that nothing herein shall limit or shall be deemed to limit Holder’s right to pursue remedies in the event of breach by the Company of its obligations and agreements with respect to the Warrant; provided, further, that nothing herein shall limit or be deemed to limit Holder’s rights in respect of any transactions other than the Warrant. To the extent an early termination required of this Section 5(c) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company, such early termination shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, until the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s early termination of any portion of the Warrant under this Section 5(c), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any premium due under this Section 5(c) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

 


 

For purposes hereof:
“Cash-Out Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to the Company and/or to holders of Common Stock in connection with the Major Transaction consists solely of cash.
“Cashless Default Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant as a “Cashless Default Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(c) and 11(b) hereof.
“Cashless Major Exercise” shall mean an exercise of this Warrant or portion thereof as a “Cashless Major Exercise” in accordance with Section 3(b) , 5(c)(i) and (5 (c)(ii) hereof.
“Eligible Market” means the over the counter Bulletin Board, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE Arca, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the NYSE Alternext U.S.
“Mixed Major Transaction” means a Major Transaction in which the consideration payable to the shareholders of the Company consists partially of cash and partially of securities of a Successor Entity. If the Successor Entity is a Publicly Traded Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be equal to the percentage that the value of the aggregate anticipated number of shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity to be issued to holders of Common Stock of the Company represents in comparison to the aggregate value of all consideration, including cash consideration, in such Mixed Major Transaction, as such values are set forth in any definitive agreement for the Mixed Major Transaction that has been executed at the time of the first public announcement of the Major Transaction or, if no such value is determinable from such definitive agreement, based on the closing market price for shares of the Publicly Traded Successor Entity on its principal securities exchange on the Trading Day preceding the first public announcement of the Mixed Major Transaction. If the Successor Entity is a Private Successor Entity, the percentage of consideration represented by securities of such Successor Entity shall be determined in good-faith by the Company’s Board of Directors
“Parent Entity” of a Person means an entity that, directly or indirectly, controls the applicable Person and whose common stock or equivalent equity security is quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, or, if there is more than one such Person or Parent Entity, the Person or Parent Entity with the largest public market capitalization as of the date of consummation of a Major Transaction.
“Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and a government or any department or agency thereof.
“Private Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is not a Publicly Traded Successor Entity.
“Publicly Traded Successor Entity” means a Successor Entity that is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market (as defined above).
“Successor Entity” means any Person purchasing the Company’s assets or Common Stock, or any successor entity resulting from such Major Transaction, or if the Warrant is to be exercisable for shares of capital stock of its Parent Entity (as defined above), its Parent Entity.
(d) Exercise Price Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in this Section 5 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions of said subsection. No adjustment made pursuant to any provision of this Section 5 shall have the net effect of increasing the Exercise Price in relation to the split adjusted and distribution adjusted price of the Common Stock.
(e) Adjustments: Additional Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5 or otherwise, Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares and/or other securities or assets (other than Common Stock) then, wherever appropriate, all references herein

 


 

to shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets; and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 5.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 5(f), upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise Price, the Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.
6. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may purchase only a whole number of shares of Common Stock. If, on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise shall be the rounded up or down to the next closest whole number of shares.
7. Reservation of Shares.
From and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as shall be sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is below the number of shares sufficient for the Exercise of this Warrant (a “Share Authorization Failure”) (based on the Exercise Price in effect from time to time), the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 7, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, and using its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares. The Company covenants and agrees that upon the Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Exercise shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person.
8. Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Registration or Exemption Required. This Warrant has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D and exempt from state registration or qualification under applicable state laws. None of the Warrant, the Exercise Shares or Failure Payment Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state laws or an exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws including, without limitation, a so-called “4(1) and a half” transaction.
(b) Assignment. Subject to Section 8(a), the Holder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of this Warrant, in whole or in part. Holder shall deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within three (3) business days (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant,

 


 

and shall be enforceable by any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called “4(1) and half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such “4(1) and half” transaction.
9. Noncircumvention.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
10. Events of Failure; Definition of Black Scholes Value.
(a) Definition.
The occurrence of each of the following shall be considered to be an “Event of Failure.”
(i) A Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Exercise Shares to the Holder within any applicable Delivery Period;
(ii) A Legend Removal Failure occurs, where a “Legend Removal Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its reasonable best efforts to issue this Warrant and/or Exercise Shares without a restrictive legend, or fails to use it reasonable best efforts to remove a restrictive legend, when and as required under Section 2(e) hereof;
(iii) a Transfer Delivery Failure occurs, where a “Transfer Delivery Failure” shall be deemed to have occurred if the Company fails to use its reasonable best efforts to deliver a Warrant within any applicable Transfer Delivery Period; and
(iv) a Registration Failure (as defined below).
For purpose hereof, “Registration Failure” means that (A) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the Company fails to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain effectiveness with the SEC, prior to the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and if such Registration Statement is not so filed prior to the Registration Deadline, as soon as possible thereafter, of any Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that are required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement, or fails to use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement current and effective as required in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, or (C) the Company fails to file any additional Registration Statements required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the Additional Filing Deadline or fails to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such new Registration Statement to become effective on or before the Additional Registration Deadline, and if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter, and (D) the Company fails to file any amendment to any Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement by the Additional Filing Deadline or fails to use its best efforts to cause such amendment to become effective within sixty (60) days of the applicable Registration Trigger Date, and, if such effectiveness does not occur within such period, as soon as possible thereafter.
(b) Failure Payments; Black-Scholes Determination. The Company understands that any Event of Failure (as defined above) could result in economic loss to the Holder. In the event that any Event of Failure occurs, as

 


 

compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder an amount payable, at the Company’s option, either (i) in cash or (ii) in shares of Common Stock that are valued for these purposes at 95% of the Volume Weighted Average Price on the date of such calculation (“Failure Payments”), in each case equal to 14% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less) of the Black-Scholes value (as determined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Event of Failure (as recalculated on the first business day of each month thereafter for as long as Failure Payments shall continue to accrue), which shall accrue daily from the date of such Event of Failure until the Event of Failure is cured, accruing daily and compounded monthly, provided, however, the Holder shall only receive up to such amount of shares of Common Stock in respect of Failure Payments such that Holder and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than 9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding and provided, further, that the foregoing proviso shall not be construed to require any cash payment of the remaining Failure Payments. For purposes of clarification, it is agreed and understood that Failure Payments shall continue to accrue following any Event of Default until the applicable Default Amount is paid in full.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within twenty (20) days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) then, the Failure Payments attributable to such late Registration Effectiveness shall be reduced from 14% to 11% (calculated as set forth above). The Company shall satisfy any Failure Payments under this Section pursuant to Section 10(c) below. Failure Payments are in addition to any Shares that the Holder is entitled to receive upon Exercise of this Warrant.
For purposes hereof, the “Black-Scholes” value of a Warrant shall be determined by use of the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model using the criteria set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.
(c) Payment of Accrued Failure Payments. The Failure Payment Shares representing accrued Failure Payments for each Event of Failure shall be issued and delivered on or before the fifth (5th) business day of each month following a month in which Failure Payments accrued. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Failure Payments) for the Company’s Event of Failure, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding the above, if a particular Event of Failure results in an Event of Default pursuant to Section 11 hereof, then the Failure Payment, for that Event of Failure only, shall be considered to have been satisfied upon payment to the Holder of an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Failure Payment, or (ii) the Default Amount, payable in accordance with Section 11.
(d) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
11. Default.
(a) Events Of Default. Each of the following events shall be considered to be an “Event of Default,” unless waived by the Holder:
(i) Failure To Effect Registration. With respect to all Registration Failures, a Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than forty-five (45) days (or sixty (60) days in the case where the Company (i) has, by the Filing Deadline (as defined the Registration Rights Agreement) filed a Registration Statement (as

 


 

defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering this Warrant and the number of shares required by the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) has responded in writing to any comments to the Registration Statement that the Company has received from the SEC, within twenty (20) days of such receipt, and nevertheless the SEC has not declared effective a Registration Statement covering the this Warrant and the Shares by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)), and such Registration Failure relates solely to the Company’s failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Registration Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and with respect to a Registration Failure provided in clause (E) of the definition of “Registration Failure”, such Registration Failure occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than thirty (30) days.
(ii) Failure To Deliver Common Stock. A Delivery Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of more than twenty (20) days; or at any time, the Company announces or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon Exercise by the Holder of the Exercise rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
(iii) Legend Removal Failure. A Legend Removal Failure (as defined above) occurs and remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) days; and
(iv) Corporate Existence; Major Transaction. In the event that (A) the Company has failed to place the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of a Cashless Major Exercise into escrow or to instruct the escrow agent to release such shares to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(c)(iv), (B) the Company has failed to pay the Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(c)(iv), or (C) with respect to a Major Transaction that is to be treated as an Assumption under the terms hereof, the Company has failed to meet the Assumption requirements of Section 5(c)(ii).
(b) Mandatory Early Termination.
(i) Mandatory Early Termination Amount; Cashless Default Exercise. If any Events of Default shall occur then, unless waived by the Holder, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, at the option of the Holder, such option exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Company by such Holder (the “Default Notice”), the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the outstanding amount of this Warrant and pay to the Holder (a “Mandatory Early Termination”), in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Holder within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Default Notice, an amount payable in cash (the “Mandatory Early Termination Amount” or the “Default Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) the Black-Scholes value (as determined in accordance with Section 10(b)) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Default Notice and (2) the Black-Scholes value (also as determined in accordance with Section 10(b)) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that the Mandatory Early Termination Amount is paid to the Holder. In the event the Company does not exercise its right to consummate a Mandatory Early Termination, then the Holder shall have the right to exercise this Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Default Exercise in accordance with Section 3(c) above.
The Mandatory Early Termination Amount shall be payable within five (5) Business Days following the date of the applicable Default Notice.
(ii) Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sums payable as Failure Payments or pursuant to a Mandatory Early Termination shall give rise to liquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred by the Holder, and (iii) the parties are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length.
The Default Amount, together with all other amounts payable hereunder, shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all

 


 

costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.
(c) Posting Of Bond. In the event that any Event of Default occurs hereunder, the Company may not raise as a legal defense (in any Lawsuit, as defined below, or otherwise) or justification to such Event of Default any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless the Company has posted a surety bond (a “Surety Bond”) for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 100% of the aggregate Surety Bond Value (as defined below) of all of the Holder’s Warrants (the “Bond Amount”), which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
For purposes hereof, a “Lawsuit” shall mean any lawsuit, arbitration or other dispute resolution filed by either party herein pertaining to any of this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
“Surety Bond Value,” for the Warrants shall mean 130% of the of the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such bond goes into effect).
(d) Injunction And Posting Of Bond. In the event that the Event of Default referred to in subsection (c) above pertains to the Company’s failure to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to a Warrant Exercise, legend removal request, or otherwise, the Company may not refuse such unlegended share delivery based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, unless an injunction from a court, on prior notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining Exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a Surety Bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of the Bond Amount, which Surety Bond shall remain in effect until the completion of litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent Holder obtains judgment.
(e) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant, the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
12. Holder’s Early Terminations.
(a) Mechanics of Holder’s Early Terminations. In the event that the Company does not deliver the applicable Major Transaction Warrant Early Termination Price or Default Amount or the Exercise Shares in respect of a Cashless Major Exercise or a Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to the Holder within the time period or as otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof, at any time thereafter the Holder shall have the option, upon notice to the Company, in lieu of early termination, Cashless Major Exercise or Cashless Default Exercise, as the case may be, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable early termination or exercise, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to such applicable portion of this Warrant, (y) the Company shall immediately return this Warrant, or issue a new Warrant to the Holder representing the portion of this Warrant that was submitted for early termination or exercise and (z) the Exercise Price of this Warrant or such new Warrant shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Exercise Price as in effect on the date on which the applicable early termination, default or exercise notice, as the case may be, is voided and (B) the lowest closing price for the Common Stock on NASDAQ, or, if NASDAQ is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded, during the period beginning on and including the date on which the applicable early termination, default or exercise notice, as the case may be, is delivered to the Company and ending on and including the date on

 


 

which the applicable early termination or exercise is voided. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding an early termination or exercise and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Failure Payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Warrant subject to such notice.
13. Benefits of this Warrant.
Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon any person other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and Holder.
14. Governing Law.
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement 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. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 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 this Agreement, 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.
15. Loss of Warrant.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
16. Notice or Demands.
Notices or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given or made by Holder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, until another address is designated in writing by the Company, to the address set forth in Section 2(a) above. Notices or demands pursuant to this Warrant to be given or made by the Company to or on Holder shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed, to the address of Holder set forth in the Company’s records, until another address is designated in writing by Holder.
17. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no Holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company

 


 

or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of this Warrant of the Common Stock which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
18. Representations of Holder.
The Holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. The Holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that any Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that such Holder is an Accredited Investor. If such Holder cannot make such representations because it would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such Holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United Sates or state securities laws.
19. Hedging Limitations.
The Company shall notify the Holder of the scheduled date of the consummation of any Major Transaction immediately following the close of regular hours of trading on the fourth Trading Day preceding the scheduled consummation of a Major Transaction. During the next three Trading Days following such notice Holder agrees that it will not enter into or engage in any short-selling transaction or participate in any hedging activity with respect to the Common Stock. Holder agrees that it will not enter into any transaction involving the Company’s Common Stock or any derivative thereof while in possession of material nonpublic information.

Exhibit 10.1
This Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) contains representations and warranties that the Lenders (“Lenders”) and Insulet Corporation (“Insulet”) made to each other.

     Section 6.4 Applicable Law and Consent to Non-Exclusive New York Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New

 


 

York, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of such State.
     (a) Any rights of the Lenders arising out of or relating to any Financing Document, may, at the option of the Lenders, be enforced by the Lenders in the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of the State of New York or in any other courts having jurisdiction. For the benefit of the Lenders, the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or other proceeding arising out of any Financing Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York. The Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such legal action, suit or other proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to the Borrower at its address specified in Section 6.1 by registered mail, return receipt requested. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or other proceeding. Final judgment against the Borrower in any such action, suit or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment. Nothing contained in any Financing Document shall affect the right of the Lenders to commence legal proceedings in any court having jurisdiction, or concurrently in more than one jurisdiction, or to serve process, pleadings and other legal papers upon the Borrower in any manner authorized by the laws of any such jurisdiction.
     (b) The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to any Financing Document, brought in the courts of the State of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any claim that any such action, suit or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
     (c) The Borrower hereby waives any and all rights to demand a trial by jury in any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of any Financing Document or the transactions contemplated by any Financing Document.
     (d) To the extent that the Parties may, in any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any court arising out of or in connection with any Financing Document, be entitled to the benefit of any provision of law requiring the Borrower or the Lenders, as applicable, in such suit, action or other proceeding to post security for the costs of the Borrower or the Lenders, as applicable, or to post a bond or to take similar action, the Parties hereby irrevocably waive such benefit, in each case to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under any applicable laws.
     Section 6.5 Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and assigns of the Parties, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under this Agreement or the Obligations without the prior written consent of each Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any assignment or participation is to any Person that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then such Person shall submit to the Borrower, on or before the date of such assignment or participation an IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) certifying as to such Person’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States

 


 

withholding tax, information reporting and backup withholding with respect to all payments to be made to such Person. Any attempted assignment or participation in violation of this Section 6.5 shall be void and of no force and effect.
     Section 6.6 Entire Agreement. The Financing Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the authorized officer of each Party.
     Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
     Section 6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies and facsimile copies thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
     Section 6.9 Survival.
     (a) This Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Financing Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in force until all amounts payable under the Financing Documents shall have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time any Disbursement was made hereunder.
     (b) The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.6 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Article VI hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
     Section 6.10 Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power,

 


 

privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement, or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.
     Section 6.11 Indemnity.
     (a) The Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each other harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the cost of defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Financing Documents, the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the use or intended use of the Loan, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Loss, and over the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, and such other Indemnified Person that had an adequate opportunity to defend its interests, determines that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person, which determination results in a final, non-appealable judgment or decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Party under any Financing Document to pay any amount to the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement.
     (b) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any of the Parties hereunder, the agreements and the obligations of the Parties contained in this Section 6.11 shall survive the termination of each other provision hereof and the payment of all amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder.
     Section 6.12 No Usury. The Financing Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the

 


 

term thereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.
     Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to time, the Borrower shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents as may be necessary or as requested by the Lenders to carry out the purposes of any Financing Document or any or to preserve and protect the Lenders’ rights as contemplated therein.
     Section 6.14 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended and any provision waived only in writing signed by the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders.
     Section 6.15 Right to Assign. No Lender may at any time, sell, transfer, or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Notes), except to (i) any existing Lender, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender or (iii) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be reasonably withheld or delayed) to the Borrower; provided, however, that prior to the disbursement of the full amount of the Loan the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Notes subject to any such sale, transfer or assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $7,000,000, unless such transfer is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest hereunder or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower.

(i) Following the issuance of any Warrants pursuant to the Facility Agreement, the Company shall prepare, and, on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline (as defined above) file with the SEC a Registration Statement (the “Mandatory Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a registration of the Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the Buyers, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) covering the resale of the Registrable Securities issued on the applicable Issuance Date (as defined below) which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, stock issuances or similar transactions. The Registration Statement to be filed under this Section 2(a) may also include, at the Company’s sole discretion, shares of Common Stock or other securities to be sold by the Company for its own account, provided that the inclusion of such shares does not conflict with the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration Statement shall be no less than the aggregate number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants issued on the Issuance Date, without regard to any limitation on the Buyers’ ability to exercise the Warrants, respectively. The Company acknowledges that the number of shares initially included in each Registration Statement represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants issued on the applicable Issuance Date and shall be amended if not sufficient. Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to (and subject to the approval of) the Buyers and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission.

2


 

(ii) If for any reason the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) above, or for any other reason any Registrable Securities are not then included in a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement, then the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2(a)(ii), the Company may postpone the filing or the effectiveness of any additional Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(a)(ii) for a reasonable time period, provided that such postponement shall not exceed forty-five (45) days in the aggregate, if the Company has been advised by legal counsel that such filing or effectiveness would require disclosure of a previously undisclosed material financing, acquisition or other corporate transaction, and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
b. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine to file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its securities (other than debt securities or securities being registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 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), the Company shall send to each Buyer written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the effective date of such notice, the Buyer shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of such Buyer’s Registrable Securities the requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities which may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company may reduce the amount offered for by other holders to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter(s) and, pursuant to this Section 2(b), the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Buyer has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall permit;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, the shares to be excluded shall be determined in the following sequence: (A) first, securities held by any Persons not having registration rights, (B) second, the Registrable Securities sought to be included by the holders thereof requesting such registration pursuant to this Section 2(b), (C) third, securities held by any Persons having contractual, incidental “piggyback” registration rights to include such securities in the registration statement pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated June 16, 2008 between the Company and the parties designated therein, and (D) fourth, securities held by any Persons having contractual, incidental “piggyback” registration rights to include such securities in the registration statement pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated February 3, 2006 between the Company and the parties designated therein.; and
PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that, no right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(b) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an offering in connection with which a Buyer is entitled to registration under this Section 2(b) is an underwritten offering, then such Buyer shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2(b), the registration rights of the Buyer pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall only be available in the event the Company fails to timely file, obtain effectiveness or maintain effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after each date that any Warrants are issued under the Facility Agreement (each an “Issuance Date”) (but no later than the Filing Deadline), a Registration Statement with respect to the number of Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(a), and thereafter

3


 

use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing, but in any event shall cause each such Registration Statement relating to Registrable Securities to become effective no later than the Registration Deadline, and shall keep the Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities for such Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities for such Registration Statement (in the opinion of counsel to the Buyers or the Company) may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder thereof) under the Securities Act (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein), except for information provided by a Buyer or any transferee of a Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a) shall not contain any 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.
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement current and effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by each Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in each Registration Statement. In the event that on any Trading Day (as defined below) (the “Registration Trigger Date”) the number of shares available under the Registration Statements filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants, including, without limitation, any additional shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrants, without giving effect to any limitations on the Buyer’ ability to exercise the Warrants, the Company shall amend the Registration Statements, so as to cover the total number of Registrable Securities so issued or issuable (without giving effect to any limitations on exercise contained in the Warrants or limitations on conversion or exercise) as of the Registration Trigger Date as soon as practicable, but in any event within the Additional Filing Deadline. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event the Company shall cause such amendment to become effective within sixty (60) days of the Registration Trigger Date or as promptly as practicable in the event the Company is required to increase its authorized shares. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Sock is traded for any period on the NASDAQ Global Market, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.
c. The Company shall furnish to each Buyer and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of a Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as a Buyer may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Buyer. The Company will immediately notify the Buyers by facsimile of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment. The Company will promptly respond to any and all comments received from the SEC, with a view towards causing each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable and shall file an acceleration request as soon as practicable, but no later than three (3) business days, following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review.
d. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, in any jurisdiction where registration and/or qualification is required, the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Buyers shall reasonably request, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to

4


 

such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions.
e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Buyer of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any 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, and use its reasonable best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Buyer as such Buyer may reasonably request.
f. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify each Buyer who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.
g. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Buyers to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), at Buyers’ own cost, a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any documents in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects and will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to such counsel.
h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Buyer provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning such Buyer is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Buyer prior to making such disclosure, and allow such Buyer, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
i. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, and, if listed on a national exchange, to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.
j. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the initial Registration Statement.
k. The Company shall cooperate with each Buyer who holds Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to an applicable Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities (if certificated) to be offered pursuant to such Registration Statement and enable such certificates (if any) to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Buyer may reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Buyer may request, and, within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to each Buyer) an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required by the transfer agent in order to issue the Registrable Securities free of restrictive legends.

5


 

l. At the request of a Buyer, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.
m. The Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of their securities in any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of the Buyers. In addition, the Company shall not offer any securities for its own account or the account of others in any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent of the Buyers.
n. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Buyers of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
o. The Company shall comply with all applicable laws related to a Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including without limitation the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC).
p. If required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Corporate Financing Department, the Company shall promptly effect a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5510 with respect to the public offering contemplated by resales of securities under the Registration Statement (an “Issuer Filing”), and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYER. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, each Buyer shall have the following obligations:
a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a Buyer that such Buyer shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Buyer of the information the Company requires from such Buyer. Any such information shall not contain any 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.
b. Each Buyer, by such Buyer’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Buyer has notified the Company in writing of the Buyer’s election to exclude all of the Buyer’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
c. In the event of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) in which any Registrable Securities are to be included, the Buyer agrees to enter into and perform the Buyer’s obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless the Buyer has notified the Company in writing of the Buyer’s election to exclude all of the Buyer’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
d. Each Buyer agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), the Buyer will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Buyer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) and, if so directed by the Company, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Buyer’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities

6


 

current at the time of receipt of such notice.
5. REGISTRATION FAILURE. In the event of a Registration Failure (as defined in the Warrants), the Buyers shall be entitled to Failure Payments (as defined in the Warrants) and such other rights as set forth in the Warrants.
6. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company.
7. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
a. The Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Buyer, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents and each Person who controls any Buyer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each Buyer in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation to the extent that such Violation occurs (i) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; or (ii) in the case of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), in connection with the use by a Buyer of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Buyer that the prospectus is outdated or defective. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Buyer pursuant to Section 10.
b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Buyer, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such

7


 

legal counsel shall be selected by Buyers. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
c. Each Buyer will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, or agents of the Company, if any (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “Indemnity Claims”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities, which occurs due to (i) the inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement of false or misleading information about a Buyer, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by such Buyer for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration Statement or (ii) in connection with the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e) or 3(f), the use by a Buyer of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Buyer that the prospectus is outdated or defective. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(c) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Indemnity Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Buyers which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, however, that a Buyer shall be liable under this Section 7(c) for only that amount of an Indemnity Claim as does not exceed the net amount of proceeds received by such Buyer as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a Company Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by such Buyer, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Buyer would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Buyer shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Company Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Company. The failure to deliver written notice to the Buyer within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Buyer of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Buyer is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
d. Promptly after receipt by a Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Company Indemnified Person shall, if an Indemnity Claim in respect thereof is to be made against a Buyer under this Section 7, deliver to such Buyer a written notice of the commencement thereof, and such Buyer shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent such Buyer so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to such Buyer and the Company Indemnified Person, as the case may be.
8. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by the Company is prohibited or limited by law, the Company agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law, based upon a comparative fault standard.
9. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT. With a view to making available to the Buyers the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Buyers to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration the Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

8


 

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. so long as the Buyers own Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) furnish to the Buyers a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyers to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
10. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Buyer to any transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Buyer agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (iii) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee promptly executes and delivers a joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit A hereto. In the event that a Buyer transfers all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company shall have at least ten (10) days from the receipt of written notice described in this Section 10 to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415, and the commencement date of any Event of Failure (as defined in the Warrants) or Event of Default (as defined in the Warrants) under the Warrants caused thereby will be extended by ten (10) days.
11. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon each of the Buyers and the Company. Execution and delivery of a joinder agreement by any Person shall not constitute an amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record or beneficially through a “street name” holder such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
b. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) or delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by facsimile and shall be effective five days after being placed in the mail, if mailed by regular United States mail, or upon receipt, if delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized overnight delivery service) or by facsimile, in each case addressed to a party.

EX-10.3 5 b74666icexv10w3.htm EX-10.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT, DATED MARCH 13, 2009 exv10w3
Exhibit 10.3
SECURITY AGREEMENT
     Security Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 13, 2009, between Insulet Corporation (“Obligor”) in favor of Deerfield Private Design Fund, L.P., Deerfield Private Design International, L.P., Deerfield Partners, L.P. and Deerfield International Limited (together, the “Secured Party”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
     WHEREAS, Obligor has entered into a Facility Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Facility Agreement”), with the Secured Party;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, Obligor and the Secured Party agree as follows:
1. Grant of Security Interest.
     (a) To secure payment and performance of the Obligations (as defined below), Obligor hereby grants to Secured Party a security interest in all property and interests in property of Obligor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or existing, and wherever located (together with all other collateral security for the Obligations at any time granted to or held or acquired by Secured Party, collectively, the “Collateral”), including, without limitation, the following:
  (i)   all Accounts;
 
  (ii)   all Receivables;
 
  (iii)   all Equipment;
 
  (iv)   all General Intangibles;
 
  (v)   all Inventory;
 
  (vi)   all Investment Property ; and
 
  (vii)   all proceeds and products of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) (v) and (vi).
     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the security interest granted under Section 1 attach to any of the following property or assets: (1) any of the outstanding capital stock of a foreign Subsidiary of the Obligor, except, with respect to first-tier foreign Subsidiaries only, up to 65% of the voting power of all classes of capital stock of such Foreign Subsidiary entitled to vote; (2) assets sold by Obligor in compliance with the Facility Agreement; (3) assets subject to a Permitted Lien (as defined in the Facility Agreement), in each case, only to the extent and for so long as the documents related to such Lien prohibit the attachment of a security interest under this Agreement; and (4) any vehicles.

 


 

     (b) Perfection of Security Interests.
          (i) Obligor authorizes Secured Party (or its agent) to file at any time and from time to time such financing statements with respect to the Collateral naming Secured Party or its designee as the secured party and Obligor as debtor, as Secured Party may require, and including any other information with respect to Obligor or otherwise required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdictions as Secured Party may determine, together with any amendment and continuations with respect thereto, which authorization shall apply to all financing statements filed on or after the date hereof. In no event shall Obligor at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any correction statement or termination statement with respect to any financing statement (or amendment or continuation with respect thereto) naming Secured Party or its designee as secured party and Obligor or any affiliate of Obligor as debtor without the prior written consent of Secured Party.
          (ii) Obligor shall take any other actions reasonably requested by Secured Party from time to time to cause the attachment and perfection of, and the ability of Secured Party to enforce, the security interest of Secured Party in the Collateral.
2. Covenants Relating to Collateral; Indebtedness; Dividends. Obligor covenants that:
     (a) it shall at all times: (i) be the sole owner of each and every item of Collateral and (ii) defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons except for Permitted Liens as defined in the Facility Agreement;
     (b) it will comply with the requirements of all agreements relating to premises where any Collateral is located except where the necessity of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to so comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
     (c) it will give Secured Party twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of any change to its legal name;
     (d) it will give Secured Party twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of any change to its chief executive office or its mailing address; and
     (e) it will give Secured Party twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of any change to its type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure.
3. Remedies.
     (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Facility Agreement), (i) Secured Party shall have the right to exercise any right and remedy provided for herein, under the UCC and at law or equity generally, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process; and (ii) with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Secured Party may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or

2


 

private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Secured Party may elect in compliance with the UCC.
4. Representations and Warranties. Obligor hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party that:
     (a) (i) Obligor is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of Delaware.
          (ii) the exact legal name of Obligor is as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement. Obligor has not, during the past five years, been known by or used any other composite or fictitious name or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its properties or assets out of the ordinary course of business.
          (iii) the chief executive office and mailing address of Obligor are located only at the address identified as such on Schedule 4(a)(iii) and its only other places of business and the only other locations of Collateral, (other than Collateral in transit or out for repair), if any, are at the addresses set forth on Schedule 4(a)(iii).
5. Expenses of Obligor’s Duties; Secured Party’s Right to Perform on Obligor’s Behalf.
     (a) Obligor’s agreements hereunder shall be performed by it at its sole cost and expense.
     (b) If Obligor shall fail to do any act which it has covenanted to do hereunder, Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done, either in its name or in the name and on behalf of Obligor, and Obligor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party so to act.
6. No Waivers of Rights hereunder; Rights Cumulative.
     (a) No delay by Secured Party in exercising any right hereunder, or in enforcing any of the Obligations, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude other or further exercises thereof or the exercise of any other right. No waiver of any of the Obligations shall be enforceable against Secured Party unless in writing and signed by an officer of Secured Party, and unless it expressly refers to the provision affected; any such waiver shall be limited solely to the specific event waived.
     (b) All rights granted Secured Party hereunder shall be cumulative and shall be supplementary of and in addition to those granted or available to Secured Party under any other agreement with respect to the Obligations or under applicable law and nothing herein shall be construed as limiting any such other right.
7. Termination and Release.

3


 

     (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid and satisfied in full. Upon the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the termination or expiration of the Secured Party’s obligation to make Loans under the Facility Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate automatically and all rights to the Collateral shall automatically revert to the Obligor. Upon any such termination, the Secured Party shall, at the Obligor’s expense, promptly execute and deliver to the Obligor all releases and other documents as the Obligor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and shall take such other action reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby on the Collateral.
     (b) If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Obligor in a transaction permitted by the Facility Agreement, then the Secured Party, at the request and sole expense of the Obligor, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Obligor all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.
8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Certain Waivers.
     (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applied to contracts to be performed wholly within such State. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against Obligor with respect to any of the Obligations or this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in such State, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Obligor accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Obligor hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Obligor at its address set forth in Section 10, and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Secured Party to bring proceedings against Obligor in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Obligor waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Any judicial proceeding by Obligor against Secured Party involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in The City of New York, State of New York.
     (b) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT

EX-99.1 6 b74666icexv99w1.htm EX-99.1 PRESS RELEASE ISSUED ON MARCH 16, 2009 exv99w1
Exhibit 99.1
(INSULET CORPORATION LOGO)
Insulet Receives $60 Million Funding Commitment
Credit Facility Secured with Deerfield Management
BEDFORD, MA, March 16, 2009 — Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), the leader in tubing-free insulin pump technology with its OmniPod® Insulin Management System, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with leading healthcare investor, Deerfield Management Company, to provide Insulet with up to $60 million in financing through a flexible credit facility.
“We are pleased that Deerfield, an acknowledged leader in health care investing, sees the potential of our business strategy and that we now have a flexible credit facility  enabling us to continue to expand the market for the OmniPod System,” stated Duane DeSisto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insulet Corporation. “This $60 million facility is an attractive form of financing that limits dilution for our shareholders and gives Insulet access to capital to fuel our growth.”
Under the terms of the agreement, Deerfield will provide Insulet with $27.5 million within fifteen business days of signing and has committed up to $32.5 million in additional funding to be drawn by Insulet at its discretion over the next twenty months based on the achievement of certain financial performance milestones. Any amounts drawn will accrue interest until maturity at a rate of 9.75 percent per annum which is payable on a quarterly basis. Insulet will pay a 2.75 percent per annum interest rate on undrawn amounts. The funds drawn are repayable in September 2012.
“The OmniPod System is an innovative product with significant growth potential in the diabetes market and other applications,” commented Howard Furst, MD, Partner, Deerfield Management Company. “We are confident in the strength of Insulet’s business strategy and are pleased to be facilitating the continued expansion of these opportunities for OmniPod. We believe this performance driven financing aligns the incentives and goals of both investors and management.”
In conjunction with the initial $27.5 million draw, Insulet has agreed to issue warrants for 3.75 million shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.13 per share. As financial milestones are achieved, Insulet may draw from the remaining $32.5 million available in $6.5 million increments. For each additional $6.5 million increment drawn, Insulet will issue additional warrants for 300,000 shares of its common stock with an exercise price equal to 120% of the volume weighted average stock price for the fifteen business day period between the date Insulet notifies Deerfield of its intent to draw and the date the additional funding is provided to Insulet. If Insulet chooses to draw down the entire $60 million credit facility, it will have issued warrants to purchase a total of 5.25 million shares of its common stock. The warrants have a term of six years from the date of each issuance.
