Item 1.01                                   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement

 

Overview. On August 18, 2005, Creative Computer Applications, Inc. (“CCA”) and Ann Krueger and Kyle Krueger ,joint tenants by the entirety, Gregory H. Ekizian Revocable Trust, and Tebo Partners II, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“CCA”) (collectively, the “Investors”) entered into a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”).  Under the Purchase Agreement, subject to the approval of CCA’s shareholders and other closing conditions, CCA will sell and the Investors will purchase up to an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 300,000 shares of common stock to the Investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). The per share purchase price of the Shares is $2.00, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), and the exercise price under the Warrants is $3.00 per share.

 

Representations, Warranties and Covenants. CCA and the Investors have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement, including, among others, covenants on behalf of CCA to (i) reserve shares of common stock for issuance upon exercise of the warrants, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for listing of the shares sold in the Private Placement on the American Stock Exchange, (iii) grant a right of first offer to the Investors with respect to certain subsequent sales of CCA securities, and (iv) grant the Investors the right to appoint one nominee to CCA’s board of directors.

 

Closing Conditions.  Consummation of the Private Placement is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among others, (i) execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) receipt of approval by CCA’s shareholders for the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Shares and the Warrants, including the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, (iii) absence of governmental restraints, (iv) accuracy of representations, (v) delivery of the Purchase Price and deliver of the certificates representing the Shares and the Warrants to an escrow account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement (as discussed more fully below), and (vi) the closing of the merger of CCA and StorCOMM which includes as a condition the approval of the CCA shareholders.

 

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

Escrow Agreement

 

On August 18, 2005, concurrently with the Purchase Agreement, CCA, the Investors and U.S. Bank National Association, as the escrow agent, entered into an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”).  Under the Escrow Agreement, CCA has placed the certificates representing the Shares and the Warrants (the “Escrow Securities”), and StorCOMM has place the Purchase Price, in an escrow account.  Upon the closing of the Private Placement, the certificates representing the Shares and the Warrants will become the property of the Investors and will be distributed to the Investors and the Purchase Price will become the property of CCA and will be distributed to CCA, all in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

 

A copy of the Escrow Agreement is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.2, and is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On August 18, 2005, concurrently with the Purchase Agreement, CCA and the Investors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).  Under the Registration Rights Agreement, CCA has agreed to file with the SEC, within 60 days following the closing of the Private Placement, a registration statement for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act all of the Shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and to use all reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective

 

2



 

within 120 days after filing (the “Effective Date Deadline”) and to remain continuously effective for a period of time.

 

If the registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the Effective Date Deadline, for any reason other than through the fault of the Investors, CCA has agreed to pay each Investor an amount equal to 1% of the product of (i) $2.00 and (ii) the number of shares required to be registered and then held by the Investor.  These payments must be made on the 30th day following the Effective Date Deadline and on the expiration of each 30 day period thereafter until the registration statement is declared effective.

 

CCA will bear all expenses of registered offerings made pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, except for underwriters’ commissions and discounts and the fees of counsel for the Investors selling in the offering.

 

A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.3, and is incorporated herein by this reference.

RECITALS

 

A.                                   The Company and Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Regulation D (“Regulation D”), as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

B.                                     The Purchasers desire to (a) purchase, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, shares of the Company’s Common Stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and (b) purchase, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, the Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of or otherwise pursuant to the Warrants are referred to herein as “Warrant Shares.”  The shares of Common Stock issued to the Purchasers hereunder (exclusive of the Warrant Shares) are referred to herein as the “Common Shares.”  The Common Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.

 

C.                                     Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties hereto are executing and delivering a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights Agreement,” and collectively with this Agreement, the Warrants and any other documents or agreements executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, the “Transaction Documents”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws.

 

D.                                    Contemporaneously with the Closing of this transaction, the Company contemplates a merger of equals between itself and StorCOMM, Inc., a privately held Delaware corporation (“StorCOMM”) (the “CCA-StorCOMM Merger”).

 

AGREEMENTS

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their respective promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Purchasers hereby agree as follows:

 



 

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS

 

1.1                                 Purchase of Common Stock and Warrants.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the issuance, sale and purchase of the Common Shares and Warrants shall be consummated in a “Closing.”  The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be TWO DOLLARS ($2.00) per Unit, for up to ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND (1,500,000) Units.  Each “Unit” will consist of (a) one (1) share of Common Stock, and (b) one-fifth (1/5th) of a Warrant for the purchase of one (1) Warrant Share at an exercise price of THREE DOLLARS ($3.00) per share, with a term of two (2) years.  On the date of the Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLES VI and VII hereof, the Company shall issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser severally agrees to purchase from the Company, the number of Common Shares and a Warrant to purchase the number of Warrant Shares set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.  Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase Common Shares and Warrants hereunder is distinct and separate from each other Purchaser’s obligation to purchase, and no Purchaser shall be required to purchase hereunder more than the number of Common Shares and a Warrant to purchase the number of Warrant Shares set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.  The obligations of the Company with respect to each Purchaser shall be separate from the obligations of each other Purchaser and shall not be conditioned as to any Purchaser upon the performance of obligations of any other Purchaser.

 

1.2                                 Form of Payment.  Each Purchaser shall pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the Units being purchased by such Purchaser as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, by wire transfer to the account designated by the Company at the escrow account (the “Escrow”) described below.  At that time, the Company will deliver the Common Stock and Warrants into the Escrow.  The Closing of this transaction will occur simultaneously with the closing of the CCA-StorCOMM Merger, and the aggregate Purchase Price will be deposited by the Purchasers into an Escrow to be established with U.S. BANK (the “Escrow Agent”).  The form of Escrow Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Escrow will be closed upon delivery by the Company to the Escrow Agent of a Certificate issued by the State of Delaware showing that the CCA-StorCOMM Merger has occurred.  The funds will be delivered to the Company and the Transfer Agent will deliver the certificates representing the Common Shares and the Warrants to the Purchasers.

 

1.3                                 Closing Fee.  At the Closing, the Company will direct the Escrow Agent to pay to GREAT AMERICAN INVESTORS, INC. (the “Placement Agent”) five percent (5%) of the aggregate Purchase Price deposited in the Escrow as a placement fee.  The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders, individually and collectively (“Placement Agent Indemnified Person(s)”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and reasonable expenses incurred by any Placement Agent Indemnified Person (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which are related to or arising out of: (i) any untrue statement of any material fact made by the Company; or (ii) any omission of material fact  necessary to make any statement not misleading, made by the Company.  The Company will not however, be responsible for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, or expenses, which resulted directly or indirectly from the Placement Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct.

 



 

1.4                                 Closing Date.  Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in ARTICLES VI and VII below, the date and time of the issuance, sale and purchase of the Common Shares and Warrants pursuant to this Agreement shall be at 10:00 a.m. California time, on August 18, 2005.

 

ARTICLE II
PURCHASER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES

 

Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, severally and not jointly with respect to itself and its purchase hereunder and not with respect to any other Purchaser or the purchase hereunder by any other Purchaser, that the following statements are true and correct:

 

2.1                                 Investment Purpose.  Purchaser is purchasing the Common Shares and the Warrants for Purchaser’s own account for investment only and not with a view toward or in connection with the public sale or distribution thereof. Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer its Common Shares, Warrants or any interest therein except pursuant to transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under the Securities Act.  Purchaser understands that Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the Securities are registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available, and that the Company has no present intention of registering any such Securities other than as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

2.2                                 Accredited Investor Status.  Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

 

2.3                                 Reliance on Exemptions.  Purchaser understands that the Common Shares and Warrants are being offered and sold to Purchaser in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser to acquire the Common Shares and Warrants.

 

2.4                                 Information.  The Company has made available all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been specifically requested by Purchaser, including without limitation the documents publicly filed by the Company with the SEC (such documents collectively, the “SEC Documents”).  Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company, was permitted to meet with the Company’s officers and has received what the Purchaser believes to be complete and satisfactory answers to any such inquiries.  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Purchaser or any of its representations shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE III.  Purchaser understands that

 



 

Purchaser’s investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, including without limitation the risks and uncertainties disclosed in the SEC Documents.

 

2.5                                 Governmental Review.  Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

 

2.6                                 Transfer or Resale.  Purchaser understands that (i) except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered thereunder or an exemption from such registration is available (which exemption the Company expressly agrees may be established as contemplated in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.1 hereof); (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)  may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such Securities without registration under the Securities Act under circumstances in which the seller may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder in order for such resale to be allowed, (iii) the Company is under no obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case, other than pursuant to this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement) and (iv) the Company has agreed to register the Common Shares and Warrant Shares as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

2.7                                 Legends.  Purchaser understands that, subject to ARTICLE V hereof, the certificates for the Warrants and, until such time as the Warrant Shares and Common Shares have been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold by Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144 (subject to and in accordance with the procedures specified in ARTICLE V hereof), the certificates for the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares will bear a restrictive legend (the “Legend”), which will include language in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.

 



 

2.8                                 Authorization; Enforcement.  This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of Purchaser and are valid and binding agreements of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that such validity or enforceability may be subject to or affected by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights or remedies of creditors generally, or by other equitable principles of general application.

 

2.9                                 Residency.  Purchaser is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth under Purchaser’s name on the signature page hereto executed by Purchaser.

 

2.10                           Hedging Transactions.  Purchaser does not have an existing short position with respect to the Company’s Common Stock.

 

ARTICLE III

The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (without giving effect to the CCA-StorCOMM Merger) that the following statements are true and correct, except as set forth on the disclosure schedules attached hereto as Schedule 3 (the “Company Disclosure Schedules”) and accept as disclosed in the SEC Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein, none of the representations and warranties by the Company contained herein shall relate to or take into account the effects of the CCA-StorCOMM Merger.

 

3.1                                 Organization and Qualification.  Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction where the failure so to qualify or be in good standing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect which, individually or in the aggregate with all other effects, reasonably would be expected to be materially adverse to the business, operations, properties, financial condition, operating results or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole on a consolidated basis or on the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

3.2                                 Authorization; Enforcement.  (a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform under the Transaction Documents, and to issue, sell and perform its obligations with respect to the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities; (b) the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Common Shares and the Warrants, and the reservation for issuance of the Warrant Shares) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its board of directors, or its stockholders or any other Person is required with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (c)

 



 

this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Common Shares, and the Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company; and (d) this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Common Shares, and the Warrants constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) to the extent that such validity or enforceability may be subject to or affected by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights or remedies of creditors generally, or by other equitable principles of general application, and (ii) as rights to indemnity and contribution under the Registration Rights Agreement may be limited by federal or state securities laws. “Person” means any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, unincorporated association, corporation, entity or government (whether federal, state, county, city or otherwise, including, without limitation, any instrumentality, division, agency or department thereof).

 

3.3                                 Capitalization.  The capitalization of the Company as of March 31, 2005, including the authorized capital stock, the number of shares issued and outstanding, the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans, the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to securities (other than the Warrants) exercisable for, or convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of Common Stock and the number of shares to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants is set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereof. All of such outstanding shares of capital stock have been, or upon issuance will be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  No shares of capital stock of the Company (including the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares) are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the stockholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances.  Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.3 hereof, as of the date of this Agreement, (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) issuance of the Securities will not trigger anti-dilution rights for any other outstanding or authorized securities of the Company, and (iii) there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of its or their securities under the Securities Act (except the Registration Rights Agreement).  The Company has made available to Purchaser true and correct copies of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof (“Articles of Incorporation”), and the Company’s By-laws as in effect on the date hereof (the “By-laws”).  The Company has set forth on Schedule 3.3 hereof all instruments and agreements (other than the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws) governing securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock of the Company (and the Company shall provide to Purchaser copies thereof upon the request of Purchaser).

 

3.4                                 No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance, as applicable, of the Securities) do not and will not (a) result in a violation of the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws or (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any

5.1                                 Removal of Legend.  The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act, (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements or (c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Security can be so sold without restriction or (d) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k).  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.  Each Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, pursuant to an effective registration statement, in accordance with the manner of distribution described in such registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale, or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and the Security is to be disposed of other than pursuant to the registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Security shall be relegended as provided herein in connection with any disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act.  Also, in the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser holding such Security, the Company may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective

 



 

registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above.

 

5.2                                 Transfer Agent Instructions.  The Company agrees that following the effective date of the registration statement or at such time as such legend is no longer required under  Section 5.1, it will, no later than ten (10)  days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its nominee for the Warrant Shares in such amounts determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.  The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this ARTICLE V, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof in the case of the Warrant Shares prior to registration of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.  Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Purchaser’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement and to deliver a prospectus in connection with such sale or in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws.  If (a) a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after one (1) year, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale), to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser transfers Securities to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and which delivers to the Company in written form the same representations, warranties and covenants made by Purchaser hereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denomination as specified by such Purchaser.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this ARTICLE V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this ARTICLE V, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers are parties to that certain Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of August 18, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, as a condition of the obligations of, and an inducement to, the parties to consummate the purchase by the Purchasers of the Common Shares and Warrants (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement), contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement shall be executed and delivered;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their respective promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Purchasers hereby agree as follows:

 

Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

ARTICLE I.

REGISTRATION OF SHARES; COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT

 

Section 1.1             Registration Procedures and Expenses.  The Company shall:

 

(a)   Subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers, including all information requested by Schedule 2 hereof, use commercial reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC, within sixty (60) days after the Closing of the Purchase Agreement, a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on such appropriate form as is then available to the Company) to enable the resale of the Registrable Shares by the Purchasers on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 of the Securities Act.  “Registrable Shares” means (a) each Common Share and (b) each Warrant Share until the earlier of: (1) the date on which such share has been resold or otherwise transferred pursuant to the Registration Statement; (2) the date on which such share is transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or may be sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any other similar provisions then in force) without any volume or manner of sale restrictions thereunder; or (3) the date on which such share ceases to be outstanding (whether as a result of redemption, repurchase and cancellation or otherwise).  Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company will provide to each Purchaser a copy of the “Selling Shareholder” section for their review, and if no comments are received within three (3) days of delivery of this section, then it will be deemed approved.

 



 

(b)   use commercial reasonable efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers, including the Registration Statement Questionnaire, to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 120 days of the Closing of the Purchase Agreement (the “Effective Date Deadline”).

 

(c)   se commercial reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (as defined in Section 1.3 below) used in connection therewith and take all such other actions as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for a period (the ”Registration Period”) not exceeding, with respect to the Purchaser’s Registrable Shares, the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing of the Purchase Agreement (provided, however, that with respect to Registrable Shares that are Warrant Shares, the foregoing date shall be the second anniversary of the date the related Warrant was exercised), (ii) the date on which all Registrable Shares then held by the Purchaser may be sold or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any other similar provisions then in force) without any volume or manner of sale restrictions thereunder, and (iii) such time as all Registrable Shares held by the Purchaser have been sold (A) pursuant to a registration statement, (B) to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction, or (C) in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(1) thereof so that all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect thereto, if any, are removed upon the consummation of such sale;

 

(d)   promptly furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Shares registered under the Registration Statement such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus, including any supplements to or amendments of the Prospectus, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by the Purchaser;

 

(e)   promptly take such action as may be necessary to qualify, or obtain, an exemption for the Registrable Shares under such of the state securities laws of United States jurisdictions as shall be necessary to qualify, or obtain an exemption for, the sale of the Registrable Shares in states specified in writing by the Purchaser;  provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

 

(f)    bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraph (a) through (c) of this Section 1.1 and the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made with the NASD); (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state “blue sky” or securities laws; (iii) expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Registrable Shares and Prospectuses); (iv) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Registrable Shares on the AMEX; and (v) all fees and disbursements of counsel of the Company and independent certified public accountants of the Company; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall be responsible for paying the fees and disbursements for the Purchasers’ respective counsel, the underwriting commissions or brokerage fees, and taxes of any kind (including, without limitation, transfer taxes) applicable to any disposition, sale or transfer of the Purchaser’s Registrable Shares.  The Company shall, in any event, bear its internal expenses

 



 

(including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties); and

 

(g)   advise the Purchasers, within two (2) business days by e-mail, fax or other type of communication, and, if requested by such person, confirm such advice in writing: (i) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, or any other order issued by any state securities commission or other regulatory authority suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of such Registrable Shares under state securities or “blue sky” laws; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order or other order should be issued; and (ii) when the Prospectus or any supplements to or amendments of the Prospectus have been filed, and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective.

 

Section 1.2             Transfer of Shares; Suspension.

 

(a)   The Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Securities or its right to purchase the Registrable Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 1.1 or in accordance with the Securities Act, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution.

 

(b)   Except in the event that clause (c) below applies, the Company shall, at all times during the Registration Period, promptly (i) prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Shares being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Purchaser copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(i); and (iii) inform the Purchaser that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 1.2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Purchaser to that effect, will use its commercially reasonable  efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(iii) hereof when the amendment has become effective).

 

(c)   Subject to clause (d) below, in the event of (i) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related

 



 

Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall deliver a notice in writing to the Purchaser (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchaser will refrain from selling any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Purchaser’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used.  In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company may on two occasions only suspend sales pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period of up to thirty (30) days if the Company furnishes to the holders of the Registrable Shares a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, (i) the offering would interfere in any material respect with any acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction under consideration by the Company or (ii) there is some other material development relating to the condition (financial or other) of the Company that has not been disclosed to the general public and as to which it is in the Company’s best interests not to disclose such development; provided further, however, that the Company may not so suspend sales more than twice in any calendar year without the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then-eligible Registrable Shares consisting of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(d)   In the event of a sale of Registrable Shares by the Purchaser under the Registration Statement, the Purchaser must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a Certificate of Subsequent Sale substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, so that the Registrable Shares may be properly transferred.

(b)   Indemnification by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who sign the Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure on the part of the Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

 



 

therein (in the case of the Prospectus only, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchasers expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be liable for any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of which the Purchaser has delivered to the Company in writing a correction at least two (2) business days before the occurrence of the transaction from which such loss was incurred, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action for which such person is entitled to be indemnified in accordance with this Section 1.3(b).

 

(c)   Indemnification Procedure.

 

(i)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 1.3, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.3 except to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

 

(ii)   In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof; provided, however, 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 a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 1.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless:

 

(1)   the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the

 



 

expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by such indemnifying party representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), or

 

(2)   the indemnifying party shall not have counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

 

(d)   Contribution.  If a claim for indemnification under this Section 1.3 is unavailable to an indemnified party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 1.3, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

No party to this Agreement guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any other party to this Agreement who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

Section 1.4             Termination of Conditions and Obligations.  The restrictions imposed by Article I upon the transferability of the Registrable Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Registrable Shares upon the passage of two (2) years from the Closing of the Purchase Agreement, provided, however, that with respect to the Registrable Shares that are the Warrant Shares, the foregoing date shall be the second anniversary of the date the relevant Warrant was exercised, or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

 

Section 1.5             Registration Default. (a) If the Registration Statement covering  the  Registrable Shares required to be filed by  the  Company pursuant  to  Section 1.1 is not for any reason (other than through the fault of the Purchaser) declared effective  by  the  SEC  by  the Effective  Date Deadline, then the Company shall make the payments  to  each Purchaser as provided in the next sentence as liquidated damages and not  as a  penalty.  The amount to be paid by the Company to each Purchaser shall  be determined as of each Computation Date (as

 



 

defined below), and such  amount shall be equal to 1% (the “Liquidated Damage Rate”) of the product of (i) the  per  unit  Purchase  Price  of the Units  under  the  Purchase  Agreement and (ii) the number of shares of Registrable Shares then  held by such Purchaser, for the period from the Effective Date Deadline to the first Computation Date, and for each 30-day period of any subsequent Computation Dates thereafter, in each case calculated on a pro  rata  basis to  the  date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective  by the SEC (the “Periodic Amount”).  The full Periodic Amount shall be paid by the Company to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds within  three  business days after each Computation Date or three  business days  after  the  date  on  which the Registration  Statement  is  declared effective by the SEC, whichever occurs earlier.

 

(b)           As  used in Section 1.5(a), “Computation Date” means the date which is  30  days  after  the Effective Date Deadline and, if  the  Registration Statement  to  be  filed by the Company pursuant to Section  1.1 has  not theretofore been declared effective by the SEC, each date which is 30  days after the previous Computation Date until such Registration Statement is so declared effective.
