ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

In this prospectus, references to the “company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “registrant” refer to American DG Energy Inc.
  
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not, and the selling stockholders have not, authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. The selling stockholders are offering to sell and seeking offers to buy shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus as well as the information we filed previously with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and incorporated herein by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document containing the information.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this prospectus regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects and plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. Although we believe that the expectations underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations may prove to be incorrect, and all of these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We have included important risks and uncertainties in the cautionary statements included in this prospectus, particularly the section called “Risk Factors” incorporated by reference herein. We believe these risks and uncertainties could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions, projections or expectations prove incorrect, actual results, performance or financial condition may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, estimated or expected. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

We distribute and operate on-site cogeneration systems that produce both electricity and heat. Our business is to own the equipment that we install at customers’ facilities and to sell the energy produced by these systems to the customers on a long-term contractual basis. We call this business the American DG Energy “On-Site Utility”.

We offer a range of cogeneration systems that are highly reliable and energy efficient. Our cogeneration systems produce electricity from an internal combustion engine driving a generator, while the heat from the engine and exhaust is recovered and typically used to produce heat and hot water for on-site processes. We also distribute and operate water chiller systems that operate in a similar manner, except that the engine’s power drives a large air-conditioning compressor while recovering heat for hot water. Cogeneration systems reduce the amount of electricity that the customer must purchase from the local utility and produce valuable heat and hot water for the site to use as required.

The company was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 24, 2001. American DG Energy operated as a subsidiary of American Distributed Generation Inc. since 2003, along with Tecogen Inc. In December 2005, American DG Energy merged with American Distributed Generation Inc., and the company then changed its name to American DG Energy Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 45 First Avenue, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, cash needs and growth plans.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offer and sale of the shares. If the warrants related to the shares of common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are exercised in full, we will receive aggregate proceeds from such exercises of $150,000. The funds we will receive from the proceeds of exercises of options related to shares of common stock or rights to purchase shares of common stock pursuant to our private placement will be used for installation of additional energy systems and for general corporate purposes.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

We are registering for resale pursuant to this prospectus shares of our outstanding common stock, shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible debentures and shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of our outstanding warrants. Included in the aggregate number of shares are: 3,548,405 outstanding shares of common stock; 5,321,431 shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible debentures, and 62,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants.
  
All of the shares of our common stock offered under this prospectus are being sold by the holders thereof and not by the company. All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the selling stockholders’ shares will be borne by us. All brokerage commissions, if any, attributable to the sale of shares by selling stockholders will be borne by such holders.

Each selling stockholder may sell all, none or a portion of the shares offered. We cannot estimate the number of shares of common stock that the selling stockholders will sell pursuant to this prospectus.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. Except as otherwise indicated, all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. With respect to selling stockholders that are entities, the individuals who have voting or investment power over the shares, as indicated, disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities except for their pecuniary interest therein.

None of the selling stockholders is in the business of buying and selling securities. Certain selling stockholders are, however, affiliated with broker-dealers. Mr. Charles T. Maxwell is affiliated with Weeden & Co. LP., Mr. Adam Schachter and Mrs. Nancy Schachter are affiliated with Wells Fargo Advisors, Mr. Michael Zuk is affiliated with Oppenheimer & Co., Mr. Edward Crouch is affiliated with Herbert J. Sims & Co., and Mr. Gary David Cunningham and Mr. Mehdi Sunderji are affiliated with Execution LLC. The aforementioned investors each purchased the securities in the ordinary course of their personal investment activities (or for their investment accounts) and at the time of the purchases none of them had any agreements or understandings directly or indirectly with any person to distribute the securities. No other selling stockholders are themselves, or are affiliated with, a broker-dealer. Other than Charles T. Maxwell, a director of the company, none of the selling stockholders has held any position or office, or had any other material relationship with the company within the past three years. If any shares of our common stock are sold by the aforementioned investors pursuant to this prospectus, they will be underwriters with respect thereto under the Securities Act.

Percentage ownership calculations are based on shares beneficially owned and shares outstanding as of February 2, 2010. The following table sets forth certain beneficial ownership information with regard to the selling stockholders both before the offering and after the offering as if each shareholder had separately sold all shares registered.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock covered by this prospectus at prevailing market prices on the NYSE Amex or at privately negotiated prices. We will pay the expenses incurred to register the shares being offered by the selling stockholders for resale, but the selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and brokerage commissions associated with these sales. Any commission or discount will be negotiated immediately prior to the sale with the broker-dealer or agent. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·
privately negotiated transactions; and
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale.

In addition, any shares that qualify for sale under Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than through this prospectus. Shares that qualify for unrestricted sale under Rule 144 may not be sold pursuant to this prospectus.

In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, selling stockholders who are employed by or otherwise associated with a broker-dealer will be underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares they sell pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, any broker-dealers who execute sales for such selling stockholders may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and any profits realized and the compensation of any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. We have included such a provision in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

Our charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 
·
for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders;
 
·
for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
·
under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases; or
 
·
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that:

 
·
we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law;
 
·
we may, to the extent authorized from time to time by our Board of Directors, indemnify our other employees and agents to the same extent that we indemnified our officers and directors; and
 
·
in the event we do not assume the defense in a legal proceeding, we must advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and executive officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

The indemnification provisions contained in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

In addition, we maintain insurance on behalf of our directors and executive officers insuring them against any liability asserted against them in their capacities as directors or officers or arising out of such status.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
iii.         To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
 
 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial  bona fide  offering thereof.
 
 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
 
(4) 
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
i. 
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
 
 
A.
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
 
B.
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however,  that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
 
15

 
 
ii.
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however,  that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
 
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
 
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
 
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
 
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
(b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.

(d)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
 
(Originally incorporated on July 24, 2001 as Virtual Electric Inc.)
 
American DG Energy Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies as follows:
 
1.           Pursuant to Section 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation restates, integrates and further amends the provisions of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to the date of this filing. The original Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 24, 2001. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation has been duly adopted and approved by the written consent of the directors and stockholders of the Corporation.
 
2.           The text of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to the date of this filing, is hereby restated and amended to read in its entirety as follows:
 
First:     The name of the Corporation is American DG Energy Inc.

Third:   The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted by the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
 
Fourth: The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 110,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”), all of which Preferred Stock will be undesignated.
 
The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.
 
 
A.
COMMON STOCK.
 
1.      General.  The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board of Directors upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.
 
2.      Voting.  The holders of the Common Stock shall have voting rights at all meetings of stockholders, each such holder being entitled to one vote for each share thereof held by such holder; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (which, as used herein, shall mean the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as amended from time to time, including the terms of any certificate of designations of any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation. There shall be no cumulative voting.
 
The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
 
 
1

 
 
3.      Dividends.  Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the Board of Directors and subject to any preferential dividend or other rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock.
 
4.      Liquidation.  Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, subject to any preferential or other rights of any then outstanding Preferred Stock.
 
 
B.
PREFERRED STOCK.
 
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided. Any shares of Preferred Stock that may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law.
 
Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of the shares thereof, to determine and fix the number of shares of such series and such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series to the extent permitted by law.
 
The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
 
Fifth:  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute and this Certificate of Incorporation, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
 
Sixth:  In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by the laws of the State of Delaware, and subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Corporation’s By-laws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Corporation’s By-laws. The Corporation’s By-laws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes that all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors, in addition to any other vote required by this Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes that all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors or class of directors shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article Sixth.
 
Seventh:  Except to the extent that the General Corporation Law of Delaware prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability. No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
 
Eighth:  The Corporation shall provide indemnification as follows:
 
 
2

 

1.           Actions, Suits and Proceedings Other than by or in the Right of the Corporation.  The Corporation shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to hereafter as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
2.           Actions or Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation.  The Corporation shall indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made under this Section 2 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent, that the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that the Court of Chancery of Delaware shall deem proper.
 
3.           Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article Eighth, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.
 
4.           Notification and Defense of Claim.  As a condition precedent to an Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified, such Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnitee for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation is so notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. After notice from the Corporation to Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Corporation shall not be liable to Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, other than as provided below in this Section 4. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel to Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation or (iii) the Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which counsel for Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above. The Corporation shall not be required to indemnify Indemnitee under this Article Eighth for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation effected without its written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Corporation nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed settlement.

5.           Advance of Expenses.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Article Eighth, in the event of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Corporation receives notice under this Article, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in defending an action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article; and further provided that no such advancement of expenses shall be made under this Article Eighth if it is determined (in the manner described in Section 6) that (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment.
 
6.           Procedure for Indemnification.  In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2, 3 or 5 of this Article Eighth, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request. Any such advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request of Indemnitee, unless (i) the Corporation has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 4 of this Article Eighth (and none of the circumstances described in Section 4 of this Article Eighth that would nonetheless entitle the Indemnitee to indemnification for the fees and expenses of separate counsel have occurred) or (ii) the Corporation determines within such 60-day period that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1, 2 or 5 of this Article Eighth, as the case may be. Any such indemnification, unless ordered by a court, shall be made with respect to requests under Section 1 or 2 only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination by the Corporation that the indemnification of Indemnitee is proper because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance (a) by a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), whether or not a quorum, (b) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, whether or not a quorum, (c) if there are no disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be regular legal counsel to the Corporation) in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.
 
7.           Remedies.  The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6 of this Article Eighth that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.
 
8.           Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, except as set forth in Section 7 of the Article Eighth, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee pursuant to this Article Eighth in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, such Indemnitee shall promptly refund indemnification payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance reimbursement.
 
9.           Subsequent Amendment.  No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article or of the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.

10.           Other Rights.  The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the Corporation, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to prohibit, and the Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing indemnification rights and procedures different from those set forth in this Article. In addition, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Corporation or other persons serving the Corporation and such rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this Article.
 
11.           Partial Indemnification.  If an Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.
 
12.           Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) against any expense, liability or loss incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
 
13.           Savings Clause.  If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
 
14.           Definitions.  Terms used herein and defined in Section 145(h) and Section 145(i) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in such Section 145(h) and Section 145(i).

AMERICAN DG ENERGY INC.
 
(as of August 31, 2009)
 
ARTICLE I.
STOCKHOLDERS
 
        1.1    Place of Meetings.    All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or, if not so designated, at the principal office of the corporation.
 
        1.2    Annual Meeting.    The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held). If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in such case all references in these By-laws to the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting.
 
        1.3    Special Meetings.    Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
 
        1.4    Notice of Meetings.    Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, date and time of the meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If notice is given by mail, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder's address as it appears on the records of the corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
 
        1.5    Voting List.    The Secretary shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
 
        1.6    Quorum.    Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

        1.7    Adjournments.    Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these By-laws by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum, or, if no stockholder is present, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as secretary of such meeting. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than 30 days if the time and place of the adjourned meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.
 
        1.8    Voting and Proxies.    Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person (including by means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) or may authorize another person or persons to vote for such stockholder by a proxy executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by the stockholder or such stockholder's authorized agent and delivered (including by electronic transmission) to the Secretary of the corporation. No such proxy shall be voted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.
 
        1.9    Action at Meeting.    When a quorum is present at any meeting, any matter other than the election of directors to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock present or represented and voting on such matter (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of that class present or represented and voting on such matter), except when a different vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws.

The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the corporation. A stockholder shall not have complied with this Section 1.10(b) if the stockholder (or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made) solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such stockholder's nominee in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 1.10.
 
        (c)   The chairman of any meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.10 (including whether the stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made solicited (or is part of a group that solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such stockholder's nominee in compliance with the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 1.10), and if the chairman should determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.10, the chairman shall so declare to the meeting and such nomination shall be disregarded.
 
        (d)   Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Section 1.10 shall obligate the corporation or the Board of Directors to include in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the corporation or the Board of Directors information with respect to any nominee for director submitted by a stockholder.
 
        (e)   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation.

Re:
Registration Statement on Form S-3
File No. 333-163972
   
Ladies and Gentlemen:

The following opinion is being furnished to you in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by American DG Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of shares of its Common Stock (the “Registered Shares”) consisting of the following: 3,548,405 outstanding shares of common stock; 5,321,431 shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible debentures; and 62,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. The Registered Shares are being registered for resale pursuant to the above-described registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act.

We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Registration Statement, and we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Registration Statement and such other documents as we have considered necessary in order to furnish the opinion hereinafter set forth.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the outstanding shares of Common Stock being registered are, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of convertible debt or warrants will be, upon the valid conversion or exercise thereof, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable under the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

 Very truly yours,


SULLIVAN AND WORCESTER LLP

(as amended October 13, 2009)
Purpose
 
The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in overseeing the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Company’s financial statements.
 
Structure and Membership

Authority and Responsibilities
 
General

The Audit Committee shall discharge its responsibilities, and shall assess the information provided by the Company’s management and the independent auditor, in accordance with its business judgment. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and for the appropriateness of the accounting principles and reporting policies that are used by the Company. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements and for reviewing the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements. The authority and responsibilities set forth in this Charter do not reflect or create any duty or obligation of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct any audit, to determine or certify that the Company’s financial statements are complete, accurate, fairly presented, or in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or applicable law, or to guarantee the independent auditor’s report.
 
Oversight of Independent Auditors
 
Selection.  The Audit Committee shall be solely and directly responsible for appointing, evaluating, retaining and, when necessary, terminating the engagement of the independent auditor. The Audit Committee may, in its discretion, seek stockholder ratification of the independent auditor it appoints.

Independence.  The Audit Committee shall take, or recommend that the full Board of Directors take, appropriate action to oversee the independence of the independent auditor. In connection with this responsibility, the Audit Committee shall obtain and review a formal written statement from the independent auditor describing all relationships between the auditor and the Company, including the disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1. The Audit Committee shall actively engage in dialogue with the auditor concerning any disclosed relationships or services that might impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor.

Compensation.  The Audit Committee shall have sole and direct responsibility for setting the compensation of the independent auditor. The Audit Committee is empowered, without further action by the Board of Directors, to cause the Company to pay the compensation of the independent auditor established by the Audit Committee.

Preapproval of Services.  The Audit Committee shall preapprove all audit services to be provided to the Company, whether provided by the principal auditor or other firms, and all other services (review, attest and non-audit) to be provided to the Company by the independent auditor; provided, however, that de minimis non-audit services may instead be approved in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Oversight.  The independent auditor shall report directly to the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee shall have sole and direct responsibility for overseeing the work of the independent auditor, including resolution of disagreements between Company management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting. In connection with its oversight role, the Audit Committee shall, from time to time as appropriate, receive and consider the reports required to be made by the independent auditor regarding:

 
·
critical accounting policies and practices;
 
 
·
alternative treatments within generally accepted accounting principles for policies and practices related to material items that have been discussed with Company management, including ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent auditor; and
 
 
·
other material written communications between the independent auditor and Company management.
 
Audited Financial Statements
 
Review and Discussion.  The Audit Committee shall review and discuss with the Company’s management and independent auditor the Company’s audited financial statements, including the matters about which Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU §380) requires discussion.

Recommendation to Board Regarding Financial Statements.  The Audit Committee shall consider whether it will recommend to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Audit Committee Report.  The Audit Committee shall prepare an annual committee report for inclusion where necessary in the proxy statement of the Company relating to its annual meeting of security holders.

 
2

 
 
Review of Other Financial Disclosures

Independent Auditor Review of Interim Financial Statements.  The Audit Committee shall direct the independent auditor to use its best efforts to perform all reviews of interim financial information prior to disclosure by the Company of such information and to discuss promptly with the Audit Committee and the Chief Financial Officer any matters identified in connection with the auditor’s review of interim financial information which are required to be discussed by applicable auditing standards. The Audit Committee shall direct management to advise the Audit Committee in the event that the Company proposes to disclose interim financial information prior to completion of the independent auditor’s review of interim financial information.

Controls and Procedures
 
Oversight.  The Audit Committee shall coordinate the Board of Directors’ oversight of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and code of conduct. The Audit Committee shall receive and review the reports of the CEO and CFO required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act.
 
Procedures for Complaints.  The Audit Committee shall establish procedures for (a) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and (b) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.
 
Related-Party Transactions.  The Audit Committee shall review all “related party transactions” (defined as transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) on an ongoing basis, and all such transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee.
 
Additional Powers.  The Audit Committee shall have such other duties as may be delegated from time to time by the Board of Directors.
 
Procedures and Administration
 
Meetings.  The Audit Committee shall meet as often as it deems necessary in order to perform its responsibilities, but at least once each calendar quarter. The Audit Committee may also act by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Audit Committee shall periodically meet separately with (a) the independent auditor and (b) Company management. The Audit Committee shall keep such records of its meetings as it shall deem appropriate.

Subcommittees.  The Audit Committee may form and delegate authority to one or more subcommittees (including a subcommittee consisting of a single member), as it deems appropriate from time to time under the circumstances.

Reports to Board.  The Audit Committee shall report regularly to the Board of Directors.

Charter.  At least annually, the Audit Committee shall review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter and recommend any proposed changes to the Board of Directors for approval.

Independent Advisors.  The Audit Committee is authorized, without further action by the Board of Directors, to engage such independent legal, accounting and other advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its responsibilities. Such independent advisors may be the regular advisors to the Company. The Audit Committee is empowered, without further action by the Board of Directors, to cause the Company to pay the compensation of such advisors as established by the Audit Committee.

Investigations.  The Audit Committee shall have the authority to conduct or authorize investigations into any matters within the scope of its responsibilities as it shall deem appropriate, including the authority to request any officer, employee or advisor of the Company to meet with the Audit Committee or any advisors engaged by the Audit Committee.

Funding.  The Audit Committee is empowered, without further action by the Board of Directors, to cause the Company to pay the ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

(b)           The Purchaser acknowledges his or her understanding that the sale of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Act, and, in furtherance thereof, the Purchaser represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company that the Purchaser has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his or her investment in the Shares, has adequate means for providing for his or her current needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to his or her investment in the Shares.

The Company shall effect the Repurchase (if so elected) by delivering or mailing to the Purchaser (and/or, if applicable, any Permitted Transferees) written notice within three (3) months after the Termination Event, specifying a date within such three-month period in which the Repurchase shall be effected. Upon such notification, the Purchaser and any Permitted Transferees shall promptly surrender to the Company any certificates representing the Restricted Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Restricted Shares to the Company.  Upon the Company’s receipt of the certificates from the Purchaser or any Permitted Transferees, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser or any Permitted Transferee a check for the purchase price of the Restricted Shares being purchased.

2

 

(c)           Remedy. Without limitation of any other provision of this Agreement or other rights, in the event that the Purchaser, any Permitted Transferee or any other person or entity is required to sell the Restricted Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 and in the further event that he, she or it refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to the Company the certificate or certificates evidencing such Restricted Shares together with a related stock power, such designated purchaser may deposit the purchase price for such Restricted Shares with a bank designated by the Company, or with the Company’s independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for the Purchaser, any Permitted Transferee or other person or entity, to be held by such bank or accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to the Purchaser, any Permitted Transferee or other person or entity.  Upon any such deposit and upon notice to the Purchaser or Permitted Transferee who was required to sell the Restricted Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6, such Restricted Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, the holder thereof shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable), and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book or in any appropriate manner.

7.             Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. None of the Shares shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless such transfer is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and such disposition is in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7. In connection with any transfer of Shares, the Company may require the transferor to provide at the transferor’s own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor, satisfactory to the Company that such transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws. Any attempted disposition of Shares not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Shares as a result of any such disposition, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such disposition and shall not in any way give effect to any such disposition of any Shares. Subject to the foregoing general provisions, the Purchaser may sell, assign, transfer or give away any or all of the Shares only to Permitted Transferees; provided, however, that such Permitted Transferee(s) shall, as a condition to any such transfer, agree to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 6 and this Section 7) and shall have delivered a written acknowledgment to that effect to the Company.

8.             Legend. Each certificate(s) representing the Shares shall carry substantially the following legend:
“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions (including repurchase and restrictions against transfers) contained in a certain Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the holder of this certificate (a copy of which is available at the offices of the Company for examination).
 
The securities represented hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be offered, sold, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise assigned except (1) pursuant to a registration statement with respect to such securities which is effective under the Act; or (2) pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Act relating to the disposition of securities; and (3) in accordance with applicable state securities and “blue sky” laws.”
 
9.            Miscellaneous Provisions.

The Purchaser and any Permitted Transferees, during the duration of this Agreement, shall be considered the record owners of and shall be entitled to vote the Shares. The Purchaser and any Permitted Transferees shall be entitled to receive all dividends and any other distributions declared on the Shares; provided, however, that the Company is under no duty to declare any such dividends or to make any such distribution.

(b)           Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies are inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

(c)           Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Purchaser.

(d)           Choice of Law. Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, all the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Any dispute which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be adjudicated before a court located in Boston, Massachusetts and the parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts located in Boston, Massachusetts and of the federal courts in Boston, Massachusetts with respect to any action or legal proceeding commenced by any party, and irrevocably waive any objection they now or hereafter may have respecting the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such a court or respecting the fact that such court is an inconvenient forum, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any acts or omissions relating to the sale and purchase of the Shares, and each of the Company and the Purchaser (including any Permitted Transferees) consents to the service of process in any such action or legal proceeding by means of registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by means of a recognized overnight air courier service in care of the address set forth below or such other address as each party shall furnish in writing to the other. In the event any such action is brought, whether at law or in equity, then the prevailing party shall be paid his, her or its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements arising out of such action. The parties hereby waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding involving, directly or indirectly, any matter (whether sounding in tort, contract, fraud or otherwise) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the purchase of the Shares.

(e)           Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.

(f)            Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

(h)           Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any stock-for-stock merger in which the Company is not the surviving entity, shares of the Company’s successor issued in respect of the Shares shall remain subject to terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.

(i)            Employment or Consulting. This Agreement does not confer upon the Purchaser any rights with respect to continuation of his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere with any right of the Company to terminate such employment or consulting relationship at any time.

(j)            Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.

           3.             Representations and Warranties of the Investor

In order to induce the Company to accept this Agreement, the Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

a.            THE INVESTOR HAS READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTANDS THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS CONSULTED THE INVESTOR'S OWN ATTORNEY, ACCOUNTANT OR INVESTMENT ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO THE INVESTMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND ITS SUITABILITY FOR THE INVESTOR.  THE INVESTOR HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF AND RECEIVED ANSWERS FROM THE COMPANY, OR A PERSON OR PERSONS ACTING ON THE COMPANY'S BEHALF, CONCERNING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS INVESTMENT AND THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY, AND HAS RECEIVED AND REVIEWED ALL ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THE BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY THAT HE OR SHE HAS REASONABLY REQUESTED.

b.            The Investor (i) has no need for liquidity in the investment in the Shares, (ii) is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period, and (iii) at the present time, could afford the complete loss of such investment in the Shares.

 
1

 
 
c.            The address set forth at the end of this Agreement is the Investor's true and correct residence, and the Investor has no present intention of changing such residence to any other state or jurisdiction.

d.            The Investor confirms that all documents, records and books pertaining to the investment in the Company reasonably requested by the Investor have been made available to the Investor. The undersigned has relied only on such documents and that no written or oral representation or information inconsistent with such information has been made or furnished to the Investor in connection with the Shares and if so made, has not been relied upon.

e.            The Investor understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, nor pursuant to the provisions of the securities laws or other laws of any other applicable jurisdictions, in reliance on exemptions for private offerings contained in the Securities Act and in the laws of such jurisdictions. The Investor represents to the Company that he is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Investor is fully aware that the Shares to which he or she is subscribing are to be sold in reliance upon such exemptions based upon his or her representations, warranties and agreements set forth in this Agreement. The Investor is fully aware that he or she must bear the economic risk of his or her investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, therefore, cannot be offered or sold unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor further understands that the Company has no intention and is under no obligation to register its Shares under the Securities Act or to comply with the requirements for any exemption that might otherwise be available, or to supply the Investor with any information necessary to enable the Investor to make routine sales of the Shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (which it understands is not now, and will not likely be, available) or any rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor thereto.

f.             The Investor understands that the certificate(s) representing the Shares will bear the following legend restricting its transfer and that a notation restricting such transfer will be made on the stock transfer books of the Company:

“THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THESE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO THEIR DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE.  SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SHARES UNDER THE ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

g.            The Shares are being acquired solely for the Investor's own account, for investment and are not being purchased with a view to or for the resale or other distribution of the Shares; and the Investor has no present plans to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement relating to any resale or other distribution of the Shares.

h.            The Investor understands that this Subscription may be accepted or rejected in whole or in part in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, and this Agreement, unless properly revoked before the completion of the sale of the Shares to the Investor, shall survive the Investor’s death, disability or insolvency, except that the Investor shall have no obligations in the event that this Subscription is rejected by the Company.

i.            The Investor understands that even if the Company becomes a "reporting company" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act permitting resales of the Shares will not be available for at least one (1) year, and there can be no assurance that the conditions necessary to permit routine sales of the Shares under Rule 144 will ever be satisfied, and, if Rule 144 should become available, routine sales made in reliance on its provisions could be made only in limited amounts and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rule.  The Investor further understands that in connection with sales of securities for which Rule 144 is not available, compliance with some other exemption from registration will be required.  The Investor understands that the Company is under no obligation to the undersigned to register the Shares or to comply with the conditions of Rule 144 or take any other action necessary in order to make available any exemption for the sale of the Shares without registration.

j.            The Investor has been advised to consult with the Investor’s own attorney regarding legal, tax, and other matters concerning an investment in the Company and has done so, to the extent the undersigned considers necessary.

k.            The Investor acknowledges and is aware of the following:

 
2

 

(i)           that the Shares are a speculative investment and involve a high degree of risk of loss by the Investor of the Investor's entire investment in the Company;

(ii)           that there is no guarantee that the Investor will realize any gain from his or her investment in the Company and that the Investor may lose his or her entire investment;

(iii)         that the Company has no current plan or intention to issue dividends with respect to the Shares;

(iv)         that there has never been any representation, guarantee or warranty made to the Investor by any broker, the Company, its agents or employees or any other person, expressly or by implication, as to:

(A)          the approximate or exact length of time that the Investor will be required to remain as owner of the Shares; or

(B)          the past performance or experience on the part of the officers or directors of the Company, or of any other person, that will in any way indicate the predictable results of the ownership of the Shares or any such other securities, or of the overall business of the Company;

v)           that the Company may in the future issue additional shares of capital stock in the Company, and that the Investor's interest in the Company may thereby become diluted.

The Investor acknowledges that he or she understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations, warranties and acknowledgments contained in this Agreement. The Investor confirms that such representations, warranties and acknowledgments are true and accurate as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and accurate as of the date of delivery of the Funds to the Company and shall survive such delivery. If in any respect such representations and warranties shall not be true and accurate prior to acceptance of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, the Investor shall give written notice of such fact to the Company, specifying which representations and warranties are not true and accurate and the reasons therefor.

4.             Indemnification. The Investor acknowledges that he or she understands the meaning and legal consequences of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3 of this Agreement, and the Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and each officer, director, representative and agent of the Company and any person or entity controlling the Company from and against any and all loss, cost, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys' fees) due to or arising out of a breach of any representation or warranty of the Investor contained in this Agreement.

5.             No Waiver. Notwithstanding any of the representations, warranties, acknowledgments or agreements made in this Agreement by the Investor, the Investor does not thereby or in any other manner waive any rights granted to the Investor under federal and state securities law.

6.             Transferability. The Investor agrees not to transfer or assign this Agreement, or any of the Investor's interest in this Agreement, and further agrees that any assignment or transfer of the Shares shall be made only in accordance with applicable securities laws and that an appropriate legend with respect thereto may be placed by the Company on any certificate evidencing such Shares.

7.             Revocation. The Investor agrees that he or she shall not cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement.

8.             Termination of Agreement. If any representation or warranty of the Investor contained in Section 3 of this Agreement shall not be true prior to acceptance of this Agreement, and written notice of such fact has been given by the Investor to the Company, then and in any such event this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect, and no party shall have any rights against any other party under this Agreement or otherwise, and the Company shall promptly return to the Investor the Funds together with all agreements executed by the Investor.

9.             Dispute Resolution

a.            All disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  If AAA ceases operation, then the parties shall select a comparable organization that provides qualified arbitration services.  The arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts before a single arbitrator and shall be conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by AAA unless specifically modified herein.

 
3

 
 
b.           The parties covenant and agree that the arbitration hearing shall commence within ninety (90) days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto.  In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses.  In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party.  However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission.  In connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of the arbitration hearing, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration hearing or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within three (3) months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any finding of liability or award of damages.  The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.

c.           The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally its costs, except as otherwise provided herein.  The arbitrator may in his or her discretion assess costs and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party whether claimant or respondent) against any party to a proceeding.  Any party failing or refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the award. Nothing in this Section 9 shall prohibit any party from proceeding in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of seeking a temporary or permanent injunction to avoid immediate and irreparable harm.  The provisions of this Section 9 shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

d.             Unless otherwise ordered, the parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with the arbitration.  The parties will share equally in the fees and expenses charged by AAA.

e.             Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive use of AAA to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance hereof and thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and further consents to the jurisdiction of the federal or state courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section 9a of this Agreement.  Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before AAA based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before AAA has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.

10.           Miscellaneous

a.             All notices or other communications given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed by (a) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (b) overnight air courier, fees prepaid, to the Investor at his or her address set forth below and to the Company at its address set forth at the outset of this Agreement.

b.             Failure of the Company to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and the Investor, or delay by the Company in exercising the same, will not operate as a waiver of such right or remedy.  No waiver by the Company will be effective unless and until it is in writing and signed on behalf of the Company.

c.             Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, all the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles.

 
4

 

d.            This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.  This Agreement cannot be assigned, amended or modified by the parties hereto, except by written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

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

f.             If any provision of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

g.            This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and may be amended only by a writing executed by all parties.

 (i)        violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would be reasonably likely to constitute a default) under (A) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, (B) to the Company’s knowledge, any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination applicable to the Company of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or over the properties or assets of the Company, (C) the terms of any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness, or any agreement, stock option or other similar plan, indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the Company is a party, by which the Company is bound, or to which any of the properties of the Company is subject, or (D) the terms of any “lock-up” or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which the Company is a party except the violation, conflict, breach, or default of which would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”);

 (ii)       result in the activation of any anti-dilution rights or a reset or re-pricing of any debt or security instrument of any other creditor or equity holder of the Company, nor result in the acceleration of the due date of any borrowing of the Company; or

 (iii)      result in the activation of any piggy-back registration rights of any person or entity holding securities of the Company or having the right to receive securities of the Company.

(f)           The Shares.  The Shares upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement:

 (i)        are, or will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other encumbrances, subject to restrictions upon transfer under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws;

 
3

 

 (ii)       will be duly and validly authorized, and on the date of issuance of the Shares, the Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and

 (iii)      will not have been issued or sold in violation of any preemptive or other similar rights of the holders of any securities of the Company.

 (g)         Litigation.  There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company that would affect the execution by the Company or the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, and all other agreements entered into by the Company relating hereto.  Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court or governmental agency or body, which litigation if adversely determined could have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h)          Reporting Company.  The Company is a publicly-held company subject to reporting obligations pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and its shares of Common Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Company has timely filed all reports and other materials required to be filed under the Exchange Act during the preceding twelve months.

(i)           Information Concerning the Company.  The Reports contain all material information relating to the Company and its operations and financial condition as of their respective dates that is required by the Exchange Act to be disclosed therein.  Since the date of the financial statements included in the Reports, there has been no Material Adverse Effect not disclosed in the Reports. The Reports, at the time of filing, did 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 in light of the circumstances when made.

 (j)          No Integrated Offering.  Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company so as to invalidate any exemptions under the Securities Act for the offer and sale of the Shares.

(k)          No General Solicitation.  Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Reg. D under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares.

(l)           No Material Undisclosed Events or Circumstances.  Since the date of the last Report filed under the Exchange Act, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its business, operations or financial condition, that, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires the filing of a Report prior to the date hereof that has not been so filed.

(m)         Correctness of Representations.  The Company represents that the foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof in all material respects, and, unless the Company otherwise notifies the Subscriber prior to the Closing, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

(n)          Survival.  The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the applicable Closing Date for a period of three years.

5.           Reg. D Offering.  The offer and issuance of the Shares to the Subscriber is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Reg. D promulgated thereunder.

6.           Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees with the Subscriber as follows:

(a)          Exchange Act Filings.  The Company shall file a Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within the time period specified therefor by the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. The Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Reg. D.

(b)          Reporting Requirements.  Until all of the Shares have been resold or transferred by the Subscriber, or, if earlier, two years after the applicable Closing Date, the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts (i) not to take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend the registration of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Exchange Act and (ii) to continue the listing of the shares of the Company’s Common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other established trading market.

7.           Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to holders of the Shares.

(a)          Registration Statement.   The Company shall file with the SEC as soon as practical a “shelf” registration statement on an appropriate form, or shall file with the SEC as soon as practical an amendment to its currently filed shelf registration statement (either the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Shares and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable.

(b)          Registration Procedures. In connection with the Registration Statement, the Company will:

(i)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective with respect to the Subscriber until such time as all of the Shares owned by the Subscriber may be resold without restriction under the Securities Act; and

(ii)           immediately notify the Subscriber when the prospectus included in the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. If the Company notifies the Subscriber to suspend the use of any prospectus until the requisite changes to such prospectus have been made, then the Subscriber shall suspend use of such prospectus.  In such event, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to update such prospectus as promptly as is practicable.

(c)          Provision of Documents etc.  In connection with the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. The Company may require the Subscriber, upon five business days’ notice, to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to, among other things, the number of  Shares and the number of other shares of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and the person that has voting and dispositive control over such shares. The Subscriber covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, in connection with sales of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(d)          Expenses.  All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this section, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees of transfer agents and registrars are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of the Shares, including any fees and disbursements of any counsel to the Subscriber, are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement. Selling Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement shall be borne by the applicable Subscriber.

(e)          Indemnification and Contribution.

(i)           The Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber, each officer of the Subscriber, each director of the Subscriber, and each other person, if any, who controls the Subscriber within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Subscriber or such other person (a “controlling person”) may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (“Claims”) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will, subject to the limitations herein, reimburse the Subscriber and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Subscriber to the extent that any Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with information furnished by the Subscriber or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, as amended or supplemented.

 
5

 

(ii)           The Subscriber will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each underwriter, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company against all Claims to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Subscriber will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to the Subscriber, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by the Subscriber specifically for use in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, as amended or supplemented.

(iii)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this section and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this section except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this section for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding affected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(iv)           In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Subscriber, or any controlling person of the Subscriber, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this section but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this section provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Subscriber or controlling person of the Subscriber in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this section, then, and in each such case, the Company and the Subscriber will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in a manner that reflects, as near as practicable, the economic effect of the foregoing provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f)          Delivery of Unlegended Shares.

(i)           Within three business days (such business day, the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Shares have been sold either pursuant to, and in compliance with, the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (ii) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber and Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (A) shall deliver the Shares so sold without any restrictive legends relating to the Securities Act (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (B) shall cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the unsold Shares, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.  Transfer fees shall be the responsibility of the Subscriber.

 
6

 

(ii)           In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Subscriber, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system.  Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date but is subject to the cooperation of the Subscriber’s broker (the so-called DTC participant).

(iii)           The Subscriber agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Shares as set forth in this section is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Subscriber will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

8.           Miscellaneous.

(a)          Notices.  All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) delivered by reputable overnight courier service with charges prepaid, or (iii) transmitted by fax, addressed, if to the Company, to Chief Financial Officer, American DG Energy Inc., 45 First Avenue, Waltham, MA 02451, fax: (781) 622-1027, and if to the Subscriber, to the Subscriber at the address set forth on the signature pages hereto or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.

(b)          Amendments; Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Subscriber.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

(c)          Legal Fees.   Each party shall pay its own legal fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)          Entire Agreement; Assignment.  This Agreement and other documents delivered in connection herewith represent the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.  Neither the Company nor the Subscriber have relied on any representations not contained or referred to in this Agreement and the documents delivered herewith.  No right or obligation of either party shall be assigned by that party without prior notice to and the written consent of the other party.

(e)          Counterparts/Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Signatures to this Agreement may be delivered by fax or by scan/email.

(f)           Law Governing this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of Massachusetts or in the federal courts located in Massachusetts.  The parties and the individuals executing this Agreement and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury.

(g)          Equitable Adjustment.   The Shares and the purchase price Per Share shall be equitably adjusted to offset the effect of stock splits, stock dividends, and distributions of property or equity interests of the Company to its shareholders prior to the Second Closing.

SECTION 1.          EXERCISE OF WARRANT

This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time by the surrender of this Warrant (with the subscription form at the end hereof duly completed and executed) at the principal office of the Company.

For an exercise for cash, the subscription form shall be accompanied by payment to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares being purchased. Any such payment shall be by check payable to the order of the Company.

For a “cashless exercise,” the Holder shall notify the Company in its subscription form of its election to utilize cashless exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock determined as follows:

X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
A = the closing price of the Common Stock on its principal trading market on the trading day immediately prior to the exercise date.
B = the Exercise Price then in effect.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or sale of the Company, the exercise of any portion of this Warrant may, at the election of the Holder, be conditioned upon the consummation of the public offering or sale of the Company, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective concurrently with the consummation of such transaction.

If this Warrant is exercised in respect of less than all of the shares of Common Stock at the time purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant of like tenor to this Warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.

The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued to the Holder at the time of such exercise, and the Holder shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the record holder of the Common Stock at such time.  Certificates for shares of the Common Stock purchased upon exercise or partial exercise of this Warrant shall be delivered by the Company to Holder within five business days after the date of exercise.

This Warrant and all rights and options hereunder shall expire on the Expiration Date (as the same may be modified as provided herein), and shall be wholly null and void to the extent this Warrant is not exercised before it expires.

SECTION 2.          RESERVATION

The Company will at all times prior to the Expiration Date reserve and keep available such number of authorized shares of its Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant as herein provided for, as may at any time be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

SECTION 3.          VESTING

The Holder may exercise this Warrant on or after the date of this Warrant grant for the number of vested shares of Common Stock set forth on the cover page hereof, but only in accordance with the Vesting Schedule also set forth on the cover page. The foregoing rights are cumulative and may be exercised only before the Expiration Date. If at any time the Hayden IR agreement with the Company terminates, no additional shares shall vest.

SECTION 4.          STOCK DIVIDENDS, ETC.

The per share Exercise Price and the number of shares deliverable hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter set forth:

Section 4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.  In case after the date hereof the Company shall:

(a)            take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, Common Stock, or

 
2

 


(b)            subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or

(c)            combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,

then the per share Exercise Price shall be adjusted, for the purpose of preserving the economic value of this Warrant, to the price determined by multiplying the per share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination or the taking of a record of holders in respect of such payment or distribution, as the case may be (each, a “Triggering Event”) by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to such Triggering Event, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately after such Triggering Event.

Section 4.2.           Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchasable.  Upon each adjustment of the per share Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock subsequently purchasable hereunder shall be an amount equal to the quotient derived by dividing the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately before such adjustment by the per share Exercise Price in effect immediately following such adjustment or readjustment.

Section 4.3.           Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever the per share Exercise Price or number of shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall promptly prepare a certificate signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the Board of Directors of the Company made any determination hereunder), and shall promptly cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.

SECTION 5.          MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, SALES

In the case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity (regardless of whether the Company is the surviving entity), or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, or any reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company, then, as a condition of such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization or reclassification, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable hereunder, such shares of stock, securities or assets (including, without limitation, cash), if any, as may (by virtue of such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization or reclassification) be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore so purchasable hereunder had such consolidation, merger, sale, reorganization or reclassification not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless (a) the Company provides the holder hereof with not less than 10 days prior written notice of such consolidation, merger or sale (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such corporate event), and (b) prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.

SECTION 6.          DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION

If the Company declares or pays a dividend upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of earnings or earned surplus (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied) except for a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (a “Liquidating Dividend”), then the Company shall pay to the Holder at the time of payment thereof the Liquidating Dividend which would have been paid to such holder on the Common Stock had this Warrant been fully exercised immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Liquidating Dividend, or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.

SECTION 7.         NOTICE OF DIVIDENDS; PAYMENTS

If the Board of Directors of the Company shall declare any dividend or other distribution on any class of its Common Stock except by way of a stock dividend payable in Common Stock on its Common Stock, the Company shall mail notice thereof to the Holder not less than 10 days prior to the record date fixed for determining shareholders entitled to participate in such dividend or other distribution, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, as a consent fee, cash or other property from the Company in an amount and of the same type (cash or property) equal to that which the holder would have been entitled to receive if the unexercised portion hereof had been exercised as of the record date of such dividend or distribution.

SECTION 8.         NO FRACTIONAL SHARES

No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant under any circumstances.

SECTION 9.         FULLY PAID STOCK

The Company covenants and agrees to take all such actions necessary to ensure that the shares of stock represented by each and every certificate for its Common Stock to be delivered on the exercise of the purchase rights herein provided for shall, at the time of such delivery, be validly issued and outstanding and be fully paid and nonassessable.  In addition, the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any trading market or securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed.

SECTION 10.       CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS

The right to exercise this Warrant shall not be suspended during any period that the stock transfer books of the Company for its Common Stock may be closed.  The Company shall not be required, however, to deliver certificates of its Common Stock upon such exercise while such books are duly closed for any purpose, but the Company may postpone the delivery of the certificates for the Common Stock until the opening of such books, and they shall, in such case, be delivered forthwith upon the opening thereof, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

SECTION 11.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF WARRANTS AND SHARES; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the terms and provisions of this Section 11 of this Warrant remain in full force and effect at all times and shall survive the Expiration Date.

Section 11.1.            In General.  This Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise hereof shall not be transferable except upon the conditions hereinafter referred to, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar Federal statute at the time in effect) (the “Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws in respect of the transfer of this Warrant or any such shares.  Any attempt to transfer such Warrant or such shares except in accordance with the terms hereof shall, to the extent legally enforceable, be void.

Section 11.2.            Restrictive Legends.  Each Warrant and each certificate for shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any Warrant shall bear a customary restrictive legend relating to securities laws compliance until counsel for the Company determines that such legend is no longer legally required.  This Warrant and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof may be transferred only in accordance with the provisions of such legend, including the legend set forth on the first page hereof.

Section 11.3.            Accredited Investor.  The initial Holder of this Warrant represents that he is an a “accredited investor” as defined in the rules and regulations under the Securities Act.

SECTION 12.        PARTIAL EXERCISE AND PARTIAL ASSIGNMENT

If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the holder hereof shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised as provided in Section 1.  If this Warrant is partially assigned, this Warrant shall be surrendered at the principal office of the Company (with the partial assignment form at the end hereof duly executed), and thereupon a new Warrant shall be issued to the Holder covering the number of shares not assigned and setting forth the proportionate aggregate Exercise Price applicable to such shares not assigned.  The assignee of such partial assignment of this Warrant shall also be entitled to receive a new Warrant of like tenor to this Warrant covering the number of shares so assigned and setting forth the proportionate aggregate Exercise Price applicable to such assigned shares. If this Warrant is assigned in full, this Warrant shall be surrendered at the principal office of the Company (with the full assignment form at the end hereof duly executed), and thereupon a new Warrant of like tenor to this Warrant shall be issued to the assignee covering the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

SECTION 13.        WARRANT DENOMINATIONS

Warrants are issuable or transferable in the denomination of 1,000 shares or any integral multiple thereof (as nearly as may be practicable and subject to required adjustments hereunder), and the Warrants of each denomination are interchangeable upon surrender thereof at the office of the Company for Warrants of other denominations, but aggregating the same number of shares as the Warrants so surrendered.  All Warrants will be dated the same date as this Warrant.

SECTION 14.        LOST, STOLEN WARRANTS, ETC.

In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may issue a new Warrant of like date, tenor and denomination and deliver the same in exchange and substitution for and upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant, and upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to the Company. All warrants hereafter issued in exchange or substitution for this Warrant shall be substantially in the form hereof.

SECTION 15.        WARRANT HOLDER RIGHTS

This Warrant does not confer upon the holder hereof any right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company, as such, in respect of any matters whatsoever, or any other rights or liabilities as a shareholder, prior to the exercise hereof as hereinbefore provided.

SECTION 16.        SEVERABILITY

Should any part of this Warrant for any reason be declared invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion, which remaining portion shall remain in force and effect as if this Warrant had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated, and it is hereby declared the intention of the parties hereto that they would have executed and accepted the remaining portion of this Warrant without including therein any such part, parts or portion which may, for any reason, be hereafter declared invalid.

SECTION 17.        GOVERNING LAW

This Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be signed by a duly authorized officer.
