Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

Purchase Agreement

On June 24, 2009, Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, a California corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with U.M. AccelMed, Limited Partnership, an Israeli limited partnership (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company authorized the issuance and sale of up to an aggregate of 13,214,317 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,404,772 shares of Common Stock in two installments. For the first installment (the “1st Installment”), the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agreed to buy 9,633,228 shares (the “1st Installment Shares”) of Common Stock and a warrant (the “1st Installment Warrant”) to purchase up to 3,211,076 shares (the “1st Installment Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,999,909. The 1st Installment was completed on June 24, 2009, the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “1st Installment Closing Date”). Upon completion of the 1st Installment, the Purchaser owned 36.35% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis. For the second installment (the “2nd Installment”), the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agreed to buy 3,581,089 shares of Common Stock (the “2nd Installment Shares”) and a warrant (the “2nd Installment Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,193,696 shares (the “2nd Installment Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,999,967. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, which includes, without limitation, the achievement of certain financial milestones, the completion of the 2nd Installment will occur within 14 days of the date of the Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 or on a later date as may be agreed to in writing by the parties (the “2nd Installment Closing Date”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the SEC registration statements covering the resale of the 1st Installment Shares and the 1st Installment Warrant Shares within 60 days of the 1st Installment Closing Date and the 2nd Installment Shares and the 2nd Installment Warrant Shares within 60 days of the 2nd Installment Closing Date. The 1st Installment Shares, the 1st Installment Warrant Shares, the 2nd Installment Shares and the 2nd Installment Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the “Registrable Securities.” The Company’s obligation to keep the registration statement effective will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities become eligible for resale by the Purchaser without any volume or other restrictions under Rule 144.

The Purchase Agreement also provides for the inclusion in the earlier of either the proxy statement for (i) the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or (ii) a special meeting of shareholders of the Company held prior to the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, a proposal to amend its Articles of Incorporation in order to increase the amount of its authorized Common Stock from 35 million to 100 million. The Purchase Agreement also sets forth a provision that requires the Company to increase the size of its Board of Directors from six, the current number, to nine. Director and officer insurance will be provided for each director elected or appointed in accordance with the foregoing nomination procedures in an amount not less than $10 million. In addition, the Company will pay the Purchaser $20,000 per year for each director elected or appointed that was nominated by the Purchaser pursuant to the Voting Agreement (as defined below) who is not an employee of the Company.

The Purchase Agreement also grants the Purchaser (i) veto rights, so long as the Purchaser owns more than 20% of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, over certain material business decisions of the Company, (ii) a pro rata participation right in any future equity offering of the Company, so long as the Purchaser owns 15% of the 1st Installment Shares, and (iii) a most favorite nation right, pursuant to which the Purchaser will receive rights on parity with any other issuance which provides for rights more favorable than those received by the Purchaser (e.g., voting, registration, liquidation preference, etc.), so long as the Purchaser owns 20% of the Company’s Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.


 

A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Warrants

The 1st Installment Warrant entitles the Purchaser to purchase 3,211,076 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The 1st Installment Warrant expires on June 24, 2012. The exercise price will be adjusted and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the 1st Installment Warrant will be adjusted upon the occurrence of the payment of a stock dividend or a stock split. In addition, the 1st Installment Warrant includes certain anti-dilution provisions which are triggered if the Company issues or sells any Common Stock, securities convertible into Common Stock, any right to purchase shares of or reprice the Common Stock at an effective per share selling price less than $1.00 per share. Upon the occurrence of an anti-dilution event specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the exercise price of the 1st Installment Warrant will be adjusted pursuant to a weighted-average formula.

The 2nd Installment Warrant entitles the Purchaser to purchase 1,193,696 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The exercise price will be adjusted and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the 2nd Installment Warrant will be adjusted upon the occurrence of the payment of a stock dividend or a stock split. In addition, the 2nd Installment Warrant includes certain anti-dilution provisions which are triggered if the Company issues or sells any Common Stock, securities convertible into Common Stock, any right to purchase shares of or reprice the Common Stock at an effective per share selling price less than $1.00 per share. Upon the occurrence of an anti-dilution event specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the exercise price of the 2nd Installment Warrant will be adjusted pursuant to a weighted-average formula.

The 2nd Installment Warrant may be exercised beginning on the earliest of the following: (i) the date that the Company consummates a merger with and into another corporation or the date the Company consummates a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, (ii) the date that the average closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or wherever the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question) for 10 consecutive trading days exceeds $2.00, (iii) the date the Company’s Board of Directors offers a transaction pursuant to which the Company will raise at least $1.5 million in capital raising transaction with persons who are shareholders of MediVision, on the date thereof, and (iv) March 27, 2012, and expires on June 24, 2012.

Copies of the 1st Installment Warrant and form of 2nd Installment Warrant are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.

Voting Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on June 24, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) by and among (i) the Purchaser, (ii) MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd. (“MediVision”), (iii) Agfa Gevaert N.V. (“Agfa”), (iv) Delta Trading and Services (1986) Ltd. (“Delta”), and (v) Gil Allon, Noam Allon, Ariel Shenhar and Yuval Shenhar (collectively, the “Allon/Shenhar Group” and together with Agfa and Delta, the “Principal MV Shareholders”). MediVision and the Principal MV Shareholders are referred to as the “MediVision/Principal Shareholders Group.” Under the Voting Agreement, following the 1st Installment Closing Date, as long as each of the Purchaser and the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group holds between 25% and 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company agreed to use its best efforts and will take all actions (including, if necessary, amend its bylaws) to cause to be nominated for election to the Company’s Board of Directors, and each of the Purchaser and the members of the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group, agreed to vote its shares of Common Stock owned, whether directly or indirectly, and whether now owned or thereafter acquired, in favor of, the following nominees: (1) two “Independent Directors” as defined under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, the identity of one will be designated and named by the Purchaser and the identity of the other by the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group; (2) three persons designated and named by the Purchaser; (3) three persons designated and named by MediVision; and (4) one person designated and named jointly by the Purchaser and MediVision who shall be a reputable individual from the Company’s industry.

 


Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, following the 1st Installment Closing Date, as long as either the Purchaser or the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group holds less than 25% or more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company agreed to use its best efforts and will take all actions (including, if necessary, amend its bylaws) to cause to be nominated for election to the Company’s Board of Directors, and each of the Purchaser and the members of the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group, agreed to vote its shares of Common Stock, in favor of, the following nominees: (1) two “Independent Directors” as defined under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, the identity of one will be designated and named by the Purchaser and the identity of the other by either MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group; (2) six persons designated and named by the Purchaser and the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group, with each of the Purchaser and the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group entitled to name the number of persons for election to the Company’s Board of Directors in proportion to their shareholdings in the Company (i.e., calculated based on the percentages of holdings of each out of their combined aggregate holdings, multiplied by six, and rounded to the nearest whole number); (3) one person designated and named jointly by the Purchaser and MediVision who shall be a reputable individual from the Company’s industry.

In connection with the foregoing, at the first annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders following the execution of the Voting Agreement, the Purchaser shall designate Ariel Shenhar and the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group shall designate Gil Allon to serve as directors until the next annual meeting, subject to their continued service as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. In addition, the Purchaser has appointed Uri Geiger and Moshe Arkin (the “New Directors”) to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Voting Agreement will terminate when the Purchaser ceases to own 10% of the Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis or the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholder Group ceases to own, in the aggregate, 10% of the Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis.

MediVision is the Company’s parent with ownership of 55.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (as calculated without taking into account the transaction contemplated under the Purchase Agreement).

Asset Purchase Agreement

Asset Purchase Agreement

On June 24, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with MediVision to purchase substantially all the assets of MediVision, including, among other things, certain agreements under which MediVision agreed to act as distributor and perform certain services (the “Purchased Agreements”), a 63% ownership interest in CCS Pawlowski GmbH, its business as conducted in Belgium (the “Belgium Activities”), rights to intellectual property, accounts receivable, and certain property, plant and equipment. As payment for such assets, the Company agreed to assume certain liabilities, including, among other things, a bank loan outstanding with Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd. (the “United Mizrahi Bank”) in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000, all intercompany indebtedness owed to the Company with a principal amount not to exceed $4,200,000, liabilities associated with the Purchased Agreements, the Belgium Activities, and the acquired assets on and after the Closing Date, and certain taxes. The transaction, as contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement, must be completed on a date as determined by the parties, in any event, no later than October 22, 2009 (the “Termination Date”). The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated by (1) the election of the parties, if the asset purchase is not completed by the Termination Date, (2) mutual consent of the parties, (3) order of a government body, and (4) either party upon the other party’s material violation of its obligations thereunder. If the transaction is not completed by October 22, 2009 (120 days from the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement), the Company is entitled to the all of the shares held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.6.

Escrow Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, on June 24, 2009, the Company entered into an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with MediVision and Stephen L. Davis, Esq. Under the Escrow Agreement, MediVision agreed to deposit 3,793,452 shares of Common Stock on the 1st Installment Closing Date and, subject to the status of certain indebtedness of MediVision, an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock on the closing date of the Asset Purchase Agreement. If MediVision fails to make certain indemnification payments under the Asset Purchase Agreement or make certain payments in connection with outstanding indebtedness as specified under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the shares of Common Stock held in escrow will be distributed to the Company or sold and the proceeds thereof distributed to the Company.

The foregoing shares of Common Stock will be held in escrow until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement or (ii) the later of (a) the second anniversary of the closing date of the Asset Purchase Agreement or (b) the satisfaction and discharge of the $1,800,000 owed to the Office of the Chief Scientist of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade & Labor.


 

A copy of the Escrow Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7.

Letter Agreement with United Mizrahi Bank

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on June 24, 2009, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with United Mizrahi Bank. Under the Letter Agreement, the Company has agreed to assume MediVision’s loan with United Mizrahi Bank in an aggregate amount of $1,484,706 (the “New Loan”). The New Loan accrues interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.75%.

Principal payments are required to be made in 18 equal monthly installments beginning January 31, 2011. However, if the Company does not receive at least $1,000,000 upon consummation of the 2nd Installment by June 30, 2010, the Company may elect to: (i) make principal payments of $60,000 per month beginning July 31, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010, with the remaining principal payments made in 18 equal monthly installments; under this option, the Company agreed to maintain a cash balance of at least $1,000,000 (decreasing based on the New Loan balance), 50% of which must be on deposit with United Mizrahi Bank or (ii) make principal payments in 18 equal monthly installments beginning January 31, 2011; under this option, the Company agreed to maintain a cash balance of at least $1,500,000 (decreasing based on the New Loan balance), 50% of which must be on deposit with United Mizrahi Bank.

Within 14 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to deposit $750,000 cash in a bank account with United Mizrahi Bank with such balance to be maintained until June 30, 2010, and at least $375,000 thereafter. The Company is also subject to a debt covenant, whereby the Company’s cash plus accounts receivable must be at least 150% of the principal and interest outstanding under the New Loan.

The Company will also issue to United Mizrahi Bank a warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 which will expire June 24, 2012. Upon the occurrence of an “exit” event (to be defined in the warrant), United Mizrahi Bank may elect to a one time payment of $225,000 instead of the warrant.

A copy of the Letter Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.8.

Extension Agreement and Warrants

On June 24, 2009, the Company entered into an Extension Agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) by and between the Company, The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. and Solomon Strategic Holdings, Inc. (together with The Tail Wind Fund Ltd., the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Extension Agreement, with respect to the 6.5% Convertible Notes Due April 30, 2010 (the “Notes”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock and which were issued to the Holders in October 2007, the Holders agreed to extend the principal payments due thereon for 18 months, such that the next principal payment with respect to the Notes will be due December 31, 2010, and extend the maturity date of the Notes to October 31, 2011. The Holders also expressly waived, among other things, (i) the requirement that the Company reserve 125% of the number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the full conversion of Notes and to permit the full exercise of the warrants (the “Warrants”) issued with the Notes and (ii) their rights to convert the Notes and exercise the Warrants, in an aggregate amount of more than 1.4 million shares of Common Stock, until the earliest to occur of (1) June 30, 2010, (2) the Company amending its Articles of Incorporation to increase the amount of shares of Common Stock authorized to 100 million, and (3) the date on which the Company consents to the conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in an aggregate amount of more than 1.4 million shares of Common Stock (such earliest date, the “Deadline”). If at any time after the Deadline the Company does not have duly authorized and reserved for issuance to the Holders, upon conversion and exercise of the Notes, Warrants and New Warrants (as defined below), a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 125% of the number shares issuable in the aggregate upon full conversion of the Notes and full exercise of the Warrants and New Warrants (“Reserve Amount”), then (i) such failure shall constitute an event of  default under the Notes and (ii) each Holder may compel the Company to purchase its Warrants and/or New Warrants at the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model value for such securities. If at any time after December 31, 2009 (“Effective Date”) the Company does not have authorized and reserved for issuance to the Holders, upon conversion and exercise of the Notes, Warrants and New Warrants, a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Reserve Amount, then the Company shall make pro-rata payments to the Holders, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 2% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding under the Notes for each month (or portion thereof) following the Effective Date that the Company does not have the requisite number of duly authorized and reserved shares.

 


 

In addition, under the Notes, a Change of Control Transaction (as defined therein) will have occurred when, among other things, any person, other than the “MediVision Stockholders,” beneficially owns more than 35% of the Common Stock. The MediVision Stockholders are defined as Agfa, Intergamma Investment Ltd., members of the Allon family and members of the Shenhar family. Upon a Change of Control Transaction, the Holders have a right to, among other things, require the Company to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 130% of the outstanding principal amount (which includes any interest accrued and unpaid) being redeemed or (2) the product of (i) the average of the Market Price (as defined in the Notes) of the Common Stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the Holder’s election to have its Note redeemed and (ii) the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Notes). Pursuant to the Extension Agreement, the Holders waived their rights in connection with any Change of Control triggered upon consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement provided that the Purchaser does not beneficially own in excess of 49.9% of the Company’s Common Stock or voting power. However, the Purchaser will not be deemed to beneficially own (a) any shares underlying warrants until such warrants are exercised but shall be deemed to own any shares into which convertible debt or convertible preferred securities are convertible if such securities entitle the Purchaser to vote, or (b) any shares issued upon exercise of warrants so long as such shares are sold within 90 days following such exercise and during such 90-day period the Purchaser does not vote such shares. The Purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock may exceed such 49.9% if such excess is due solely to the Company’s retirement to treasury or cancellation of shares currently owned by MediVision which are forfeited to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement so long as the Purchaser does not vote such shares in excess of 49.9%.

As consideration for these extensions and waivers, the Company issued warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock. These New Warrants have an exercise price of $1 per share and expire on June 24, 2012. The exercise price of the New Warrants will be adjusted and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the New Warrants will be adjusted upon the occurrence of, among other things, the payment of a stock dividend or a stock split. In addition, the New Warrants include certain anti-dilution provisions if the Company issues or sells any Common Stock or convertible securities, or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the purchase of its Common Stock or directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any convertible securities that are currently outstanding, at an effective per share selling price which is less than the greater of (i) the closing price on the trading day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options, or (ii) the then applicable exercise price of the New Warrants. Upon the occurrence of an anti-dilution event specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the exercise price of the New Warrants will be adjusted pursuant to a weighted-average formula.

The Company may not effect any exercise of the New Warrants and each Holder is not permitted to exercise its New Warrant into shares of Common Stock if such exercise would give such Holder a beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. This 9.99% limitation may be waived by each Holder upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company.

SECTION 1.     Authorization of Sale of the Shares and Warrants. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance and sale of up to 13,214,317 shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, and warrants to purchase up to 4,404,772 shares of Common Stock, in one or more transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder.

 

SECTION 2.     Agreement to Sell and Purchase the Shares and the Warrants.

(a)       9,633,228 shares of Common Stock (the “1st Installment Shares”) for a purchase price per share equal to $0.41522 resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $3,999,908.90 (the “1st Installment”), which reflects a pre-money valuation of the Company of $7,200,000 as of the Closing Date, taking into account all outstanding shares of the Company and assuming the conversion or exercise of all outstanding notes and warrants (calculating their conversion at the maximum number of underlying shares), options, convertible securities or loans, which in any event, can only be exercised on a price per share lower than $0.41522 (such calculation shall be referred as the “Fully Diluted Basis”); at the Closing, the 1st Installment Shares shall represent 36.35% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares on a Fully Diluted Basis; and

(c)       If at the time of the Deferred Closing Date, the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that the Company’s financial situation requires the Company to raise additional funds in a capital raising transaction (in addition to 2nd Installment), the Purchaser (in its capacity as a shareholder in the Company) hereby agrees not to object to such capital raising transaction and will agree to waive its participation right (as set forth in Section 8.14 below) in connection therewith; provided, that such capital raising transaction is with Persons who are shareholders of MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd., the parent entity of the Company (“MediVision”), on the date hereof, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500,000, at a price per share not less than $0.55848 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and similar transactions), and without the provision of any special rights to such investors.

The Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Shares or Warrant Shares under any Registration Statement without complying with the provisions of this Agreement and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act or any similar rule), and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Shares or Warrant Shares are not transferable on the books of the Company unless the certificate submitted to the transfer agent evidencing the Shares is accompanied by a separate Purchaser’s Certificate of Subsequent Sale: (i) in the form of Appendix II hereto, (ii) executed by an officer of, or other authorized person designated by, the Purchaser, and (iii) to the effect that (A) the Shares or Warrant Shares have been sold in accordance with the Registration Statement, the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws and (B) the prospectus delivery requirement effectively has been satisfied. The

Purchaser acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) forming a part of the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. Without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Purchaser shall not use any written materials to offer the Shares for resale other than the Prospectus, including any “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Purchaser covenants that it will not sell any Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to said Prospectus during the period commencing at the time when Company gives the Purchaser written notice of the suspension of the use of said Prospectus and ending at the time when the Company gives the Purchaser written notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that no Suspension shall be for a period of longer than 60 consecutive days, and no Suspension shall be for a period longer than 90 days in the aggregate in any 365 day period. The Purchaser further covenants to notify the Company promptly of the sale of all of its Shares or Warrant Shares.

5.18     Organization; Validity; Enforcements. The Purchaser further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that: (i) the Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; (ii) the making and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of time or both, a default under any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or, any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental agency or body applicable to the Purchaser; (iii) no consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental agency or body is required on the part of the Purchaser for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement shall constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or the enforcement of creditor’s rights and the application of equitable principles relating to the availability of remedies, and except as rights to indemnity or contribution, including, but not limited to, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7.3 and 8.7 of this Agreement, may be limited by federal or state securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws; and (v) there is not in effect any order enjoining or restraining the Purchaser from entering into or engaging in any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.19     Short Sales. Prior to the date hereof, the Purchaser has not taken, and prior to the public announcement of the transaction after the Closing the Purchaser shall not take, any action that has caused or will cause the Purchaser to have, directly or indirectly, sold or agreed to sell any shares of Common Stock, effected any short sale, whether or not against the box,  established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act with respect to the Common Stock, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its value from the Common Stock.

SECTION 6.   Survival of Agreements; Survival of Company Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement, all covenants and agreements made by the Company and the Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Shares and the Warrants delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the Closing and the Deferred Closing (as the case may be), the delivery to the Purchaser of the Shares and Warrants being purchased and the payment therefor. All representations and warranties, made by the Company and the Purchaser herein and in the certificates for the Shares and Warrants delivered pursuant hereto shall survive (a) with respect to the transaction consummated at the Closing - for a period of two years following the later of the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Purchaser of the 1st Installment Shares and 1st Installment Warrant being purchased at the Closing and the payment therefor, and (b) with respect to the transaction consummated at the Deferred Closing - for a period of two years following the later of the Deferred Closing, the delivery to the Purchaser of the 2nd Installment Shares and 2nd Installment Warrant being purchased at the Deferred Closing and the payment therefor.

 

SECTION 7.

Registration of the Shares; Compliance with the Securities Act.

 

7.1

Registration Procedures and Expenses. The Company shall:

(a)       as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days following the Closing Date (the “Initial Registration Statement Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (or such other form appropriate for such purpose) (the “Initial Registration Statement”), relating to the resale of the 1st Installment Shares, the 1st Installment Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable, directly or indirectly upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing by the Purchaser from time to time.

(b)       as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days following the Deferred Closing Date (the “Deferred Closing Filing Deadline”), prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (or such other form appropriate for such purpose) (the “Deferred Closing Registration Statement”), relating to the resale of the 2nd Installment Shares, the 2nd Installment Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable, directly or indirectly upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing by the Purchaser from time to time. For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Registration Statement” shall include each of the Initial Registration Statement, the Deferred Closing Registration Statement and any registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 7.2 and the term “Registrable Securities” shall mean, collectively, 1st Installment Shares, the 1st Installment Warrant Shares, 2nd Installment Shares, the 2nd Installment Warrant Shares and any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable, directly or indirectly upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing.

 

19

(c)       use its commercially reasonable efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchaser, to cause the Commission to declare each of the Initial Registration Statement and the Deferred Closing Registration Statement effective within 180 days after the Closing Date or the Deferred Closing Date (as the case may be) (the “Effectiveness Deadline”);

(d)       promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement effective until such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement become eligible for resale by the Purchaser without any volume or other restrictions under Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company have any obligation to keep any Registration Statement effective after such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144;

(e)       furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under any Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any), such number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement by the Purchaser (or its valid transferees);

(f)        file documents required of the Company for normal Blue Sky clearance 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;

(g)       bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (f) of this Section 7.1 and the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchaser or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchaser, if any, in connection with the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement;

(h)       file a Form D with respect to the 1st Installment Shares and the 1st Warrants and the 2nd Installment Shares and the 2nd Installment Warrants (as the case may be) as required under Regulation D;

(i)        file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on each of the Closing Date and the Deferred Closing Date (as the case may be); and

(j)        in order to enable the Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144, including without limitation, use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) with respect to current public information about the Company and to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act until the Purchaser is no longer an affiliate of the Company, but in any

 

20

event for at least one year from the Closing Date or the Deferred Closing Date (as the case may be).

The Company understands that the Purchaser disclaims being an underwriter, but the Purchaser being deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder. A draft of the proposed Registration Statement Questionnaire to be completed by the Purchaser is attached hereto as Appendix I.

 

7.2

Commission Comments.

(a)       If the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities required to be registered under any Registration Statement cannot be included in such Registration Statement due to Commission Comments (as defined below), then the Company shall, from, time to time, (i) inform the Purchaser of the receipt of the Commission Comments and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to such Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw such Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-1 or S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the Commission Comments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Commission Comments sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by the Purchaser as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by Warrant Shares. In the event the Company amends a Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or Commission Comments provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

(b)       For purposes of this Agreement, “Commission Comments” means written comments pertaining solely to Rule 415 under the Securities Act which are received by the Company from the Commission with respect to a filed Registration Statement which requires the Company to limit the amount of Registrable Securities which may be included therein to a number of shares which is less than such amount sought to be registered under such Registration Statement.

(c)       For purposes of this Agreement, the Filing Deadline of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 7.2, shall be 30 days after the receipt of the Commission Comments which required the filing of such Registration Statement.

 

21

(d)       For purposes of this Agreement, the Effectiveness Deadline of any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 7.2, shall be 90 days after the receipt of the Commission Comments which required the filing of such Registration Statement.

(e)       The Company agrees that it will, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchaser, file each New Registration Statement as soon as practicable after it becomes aware that the filing of such New Registration Statement will be required, but in any event by its Filing Deadline, and it will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Commission to declare each New Registration Statement effective within by its respective Effectiveness Deadline.

(f)        The Company agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any comments received from the SEC with respect to any Registration Statement, including but not limited to Commission Comments, as soon as practical but in any event within 14 business days (United States) from the receipt thereof.

 

7.3

Transfer of Shares After Registration.

(a)       The Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or Warrant Shares or its right to purchase the Shares or Warrant Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or pursuant to any applicable state securities laws, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 or as otherwise permitted by law, 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)       The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in, some or all of the legended Shares and Warrant Shares in connection with applicable securities laws, pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in compliance with a bona fide margin loan. Such a pledge would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion shall be required in connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge, but Purchaser’s transferee shall promptly notify the Company of any such subsequent transfer or foreclosure. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Shares or Warrant Shares or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between the Purchaser and its pledgee or secured party. At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares or Warrant Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.17 and in this Section 7.3, any Shares or Warrant Shares subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 7.3(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in Section 5.13 and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 5.17 and in this Section 7.3.

 

7.4

Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 7.4:

 

22

(i)        the term “Purchaser/Affiliate” shall mean any affiliate of the Purchaser, including a transferee who is an affiliate of the Purchaser, and any person who controls the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and

(ii)       the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, any Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1 and 7.2.

(a)       The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which the Purchaser or Purchaser/Affiliates may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rules 430B, 430C or 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the Prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, 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, and will promptly reimburse the Purchaser and each Purchaser/Affiliate for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or such Purchaser/Affiliate in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission 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 Purchaser expressly for use therein, or (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.17 or 7.3 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares or Warrant Shares, or (iii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser herein or (iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.

 

23

 

(b)       Each Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed 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, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Purchaser) 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 to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 5.10 or 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares; (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by such Purchaser herein; or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, 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 any Purchaser expressly for use therein; and 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; provided, however, that each Purchaser’s aggregate liability under this Section 7 shall not exceed the amount of proceeds received by such Purchaser on the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(c)       Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.4 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 7.4 promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.4 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. 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 with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; 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, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict

 

24

of interest 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 and/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 to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.4 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless: (i) 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, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action); or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed 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. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its written consent. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d)       If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.4 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.4 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying 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 herein: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Purchaser from the private placement of Common Stock hereunder; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Purchaser in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Registration Statement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by the Purchaser that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount the Purchaser paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by such Purchaser from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other shall

 

25

be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.4, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.4 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.4, the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.5       Information Available. The Company, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, shall make available for inspection during normal business hours by the Purchaser, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser or any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by the Purchaser or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any Registration Statement.

7.6       Assignment of Registration Rights. The right to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Purchaser by the Company under this Agreement may be assigned in full by the Purchaser (or a subsequent holder of any Registrable Securities (a “Holder”)) in connection with a transfer by the Purchaser or a Holder of its Registrable Securities, but only if: (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) the Purchaser or the Holder gives written notice of the proposed transfer to the Company including the name and address of such transferee and a copy of the transfer documents and agreements; and (iii) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement.

 

SECTION 8.

Covenants.

 

8.1

Proxy Statement.

(a)       In connection with (i) the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or (ii) or any other special meeting of the Company’s shareholders duly convened prior to the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a proxy statement

 

26

meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the related rules and regulations thereunder promulgated by the Commission (the “Proxy Statement”) to solicit the approval by stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company present, in person or by proxy, at the Stockholders’ Meeting (as defined below) of an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation providing for an increase in the amount of authorized Common Stock equal to 100,000,000 shares or in any greater amount such that in any event, the Company shall have at the Deferred Closing sufficient amount of authorized Common Stock to enable it to perform its obligations under this Agreement (the “Stockholder Approval[s]”). The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) file the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 10-K”) as soon as possible after such date, (ii) file the Proxy Statement immediately after it files the 2009 10-K, (iii) cause the Proxy Statement to be declared effective under the Exchange Act as soon as possible promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing (if the first filing is a preliminary proxy statement) and (iv) mail the Proxy Statement to the stockholders of the Company as soon as practicable.

(b)       The Company shall keep the Purchaser apprised of the status of matters relating to the Proxy Statement and the Stockholders’ Meeting, including promptly furnishing the Purchaser and its counsel with copies of notices or other communications related to the Proxy Statement and the Stockholders’ Meeting received by the Company from the Commission or any other third party.

8.2       Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall, in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, use its commercially reasonable efforts to convene a meeting of holders of Common Stock to consider and vote upon giving the Stockholder Approval (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”) as soon as practicable after the filing of a definitive proxy statement in connection with the Stockholders’ Meeting, but in any event by May 15, 2010. Subject to fiduciary obligations under applicable law, the Board shall recommend such Stockholder Approval, shall not withdraw or modify such recommendation and shall solicit such Stockholder Approval. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Board withdraws or modifies its recommendation, the Company shall nonetheless cause the Stockholders’ Meeting to be convened and a vote to be taken, and the Board may communicate to the Company’s stockholders its basis for such withdrawal or modification.

8.3       Election of Directors.

(a)       The Company shall take all necessary actions (including, if necessary, amend its by-laws) following the Closing to adjust the size of the Board to nine members, to elected as follows:

(i)        two “Independent Directors” as defined under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market, regardless of whether the Common Stock is then listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the identity of one shall be nominated by the Purchaser, and the identity of the other shall be nominated by the MediVision/Principal MV Shareholders Group (which two directors are currently Mr. William Greer and Mr. Jonathan R.

Warrant No. 101

Dated: June 24, 2009

Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, a California corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, U.M. Accelmed, Limited Partnership or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 3,211,076 shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date) and through and including the date that is 36 (thirty-six) months from the date hereof (being June 24, 2012) (the “Expiration Date”), subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “Warrant”) was issued pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2009, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”).

1.        Definitions. In addition to the terms defined below and elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.        

2.        Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of record of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

3.        Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified in the Purchase Agreement. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

4.          Exercise and Duration of Warrants.

(a)      This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

 


(b)      A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

5.          Delivery of Warrant Shares.

(a)      Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a legend is required to be placed on the certificate pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, use its commercially reasonable efforts, to credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (“DWAC”); provided, that the Holder provides the Company the reasonably necessary details to effect the foregoing DWAC delivery.

(b)      This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

(c)      If within three Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of an Exercise Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Exercise Notice on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise. For purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Bid Price” shall mean, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price for such security on the Trading Market, as reported by the Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”), or, if the Trading Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price, then the last bid price of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Trading Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security on the Eligible Market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. “Principal Market” means the OTC Bulletin Board® or, at any time that the Common Stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trade. “Eligible Market” means the Principal Market, the American Stock Exchange, The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Global Select Market.

(d)      The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

6.        Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7.        Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

8.        Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (after giving effect to the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9, if any). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

9.        Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a)      Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

3

(b)      Fundamental Transactions. If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, as a condition of such Fundamental Transaction, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitations, provision for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or properties thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the Company (a copy of which shall be delivered to the Holder), the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions.

(c)      Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than $1.00 per share of Common Stock (each such issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than $1.00 per share of Common Stock, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than $1.00 per share of Common Stock on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then if such Dilutive Issuance shall occur, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to be equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance.

The following formula illustrates the foregoing:

NP = OP x (OP x CS + C) / (OP x CSA)

WHERE

NP = the adjusted Exercise Price (after the Dilutive Issuance)

OP = Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance

CS = the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance

 

C = the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance

 

CSA = the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after such Dilutive Issuance

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 9(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this Warrant: “Common Stock Equivalents” shall mean securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, shares of Common Stock, or Preferred Stock; and “Exempt Issuance” shall mean the issuance of: (a) shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee established for such purpose by the Board of Directors; (b) securities upon the exercise of this Warrant (and any other securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) and/or the exercise or conversion of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding on the date of this Warrant (as set forth in Schedule 4.3(i) of the Purchase Agreement); provided, that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Warrant to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of such securities; or (c) securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction by the Company.

 

4

 

(d)      Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 9(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares, as applicable, shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(e)      Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f)       Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.

(g)      Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least ten calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

10.      Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price (i) in cash in immediately available funds or (ii) through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

where:

 

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

 

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.

 

B = the Exercise Price.



 

5

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Holder may only exercise this Warrant through a cashless exercise if no Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is effective for more than 30 consecutive days that covers the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

11.      Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

12.      Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Company and, with respect to the Holder, the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

13.      Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholder services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

 

14.

Investment Intent; Limited Transferability.

(a)      If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder furnish to the Company a legal opinion of counsel to the Holder to such effect, the substance of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company representing that they are acquiring such Warrant Shares for investment purposes and that they are an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities or blue sky laws.

 

6

 

(b)      The Holder represents that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Warrant or the exercise of the Warrant and the finance operations and business of the Company; and (ii) the opportunity to request such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. Nothing contained in this Section 14(b) shall alter, amend or change the Holder’s reliance on the representations, covenants or warranties contained herein.

(c)      The Holder represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with a present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to such Holder’s right, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Warrant and Warrant Shares.

(d)      The Holder represents that it, either by reason of such Holder’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has such sophistication, knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and the capacity to protect such Holder’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement.

(e)      The Holder represents that it has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment for an indefinite period of time and could afford a complete loss of its investment.

(f)       The Holder agrees and acknowledges that the representations made by the Holder in this Section 14 are conditions to the exercise of this Warrant.

15.      Miscellaneous.

(a)      Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (subject to the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof). This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

(b)      The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

(c)      All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the city of Sacramento, State of California, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the transaction documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under Section 12 hereof and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The Company hereby waives all rights to a trial by jury.

7

(d)      The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(e)      In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

WARRANT

Warrant No. [__]

Dated: [_______ __], 2010

Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, a California corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, U.M. Accelmed, Limited Partnership or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of 1,193,696 shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and on or after the Initial Exercise Date (as defined below) and through and including the date that is 36 (thirty-six) months from the Closing Date (being June 24, 2012) (the “Expiration Date”), subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “Warrant”) was issued pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2009, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “Purchase Agreement”).

1.         Definitions. In addition to the terms defined below and elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

Initial Exercise Date” shall mean the date that any of the following occurs: (i) the date that the Company consummates a merger with and into another corporation or the date the Company consummates a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, (ii) the date that the average closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or wherever the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question) for 10 consecutive Trading Days exceeds $2.00; (iii) the date the Company’s Board of Directors offers a transaction pursuant to which the Company will raise at least $1,500,000 in capital raising transaction with persons who are shareholders of MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd., the parent entity of the Company, on the date hereof; and (iv) March 23, 2012.

 


 

2.         Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of record of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

3.         Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified in the Purchase Agreement. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

4.         Exercise and Duration of Warrants.

(a)       This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

(b)       A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

5.          Delivery of Warrant Shares.

(a)     Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a legend is required to be placed on the certificate pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to

 

2

receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, use its commercially reasonable efforts, to credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (“DWAC”); provided, that the Holder provides the Company the reasonably necessary details to effect the foregoing DWAC delivery.

(b)     This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

(c)     If within three Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of an Exercise Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Exercise Notice on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise. For purposes of this Warrant, “Closing Bid Price” shall mean, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price for such security on the Trading Market, as reported by the Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”), or, if the Trading Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price, then the last bid price of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Trading Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security on the Eligible Market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. “Principal Market” means the OTC Bulletin Board® or, at any time that the Common Stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trade. “Eligible Market” means the Principal Market, the American Stock Exchange, The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Global Market or The NASDAQ Global Select Market.

(d)     The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

6.       Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7.       Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

8.       Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (after giving effect to the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9, if any). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and

 

4

fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

9.       Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a)     Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b)     Fundamental Transactions. If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, as a condition of such Fundamental Transaction, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitations, provision for adjustment of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or properties thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the Company (a copy of which shall be delivered to the Holder), the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions.

 

5

.

(c)     Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise issue any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than $1.00 per share of Common Stock (each such issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than $1.00 per share of Common Stock, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than $1.00 per share of Common Stock on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then if such Dilutive Issuance shall occur, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to be equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and (B) the quotient determined by dividing (1) the sum of (I) the product derived by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (II) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance, by (2) the product derived by multiplying (I) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such Dilutive Issuance.

The following formula illustrates the foregoing:

NP = OP x (OP x CS + C) / (OP x CSA)

WHERE

NP = the adjusted Exercise Price (after the Dilutive Issuance)

OP = Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance

CS = the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance

 

C = the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Dilutive Issuance

 

CSA = the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after such Dilutive Issuance

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 9(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. For purposes of this Warrant: “Common Stock Equivalents” shall mean securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, shares of Common Stock, or Preferred Stock; and “Exempt Issuance” shall mean the issuance of: (a) shares of Common Stock or Common Stock

 

6

Equivalents to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by the Board of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee established for such purpose by the Board of Directors; (b) securities upon the exercise of this Warrant (and any other securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement) and/or the exercise or conversion of Common Stock Equivalents issued and outstanding on the date of this Warrant (as set forth in Schedule 4.3(i) of the Purchase Agreement); provided, that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Warrant to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or conversion price of such securities; or (c) securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction by the Company.

(d)     Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 9(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares, as applicable, shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(e)     Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f)      Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.

(g)     Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least ten calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

 

7

10.     Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price (i) in cash in immediately available funds or (ii) through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

where:

 

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

 

 

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

 

 

 

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.

 

 

 

B = the Exercise Price.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Holder may only exercise this Warrant through a cashless exercise if no Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is effective for more than 30 consecutive days that covers the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

11.     Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

12.     Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Company and, with respect to the Holder, the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

 

8

13.     Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholder services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

14.      Investment Intent; Limited Transferability.

(a)     If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, this Warrant shall not be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder furnish to the Company a legal opinion of counsel to the Holder to such effect, the substance of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) that the holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company representing that they are acquiring such Warrant Shares for investment purposes and that they are an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Holder understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in this Warrant and any securities obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant for an indefinite period of time, as this Warrant and such securities have not been registered under Federal or state securities or blue sky laws.

(b)     The Holder represents that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this Warrant or the exercise of the Warrant and the finance operations and business of the Company; and (ii) the opportunity to request such additional information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. Nothing contained in this Section 14(b) shall alter, amend or change the Holder’s reliance on the representations, covenants or warranties contained herein.

(c)     The Holder represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Warrants for its own account and not with a present view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to such Holder’s right, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Warrant and Warrant Shares.

(d)     The Holder represents that it, either by reason of such Holder’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of its professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate, finder or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has such sophistication, knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and the capacity to protect such Holder’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement.

 

9

(e)     The Holder represents that it has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment for an indefinite period of time and could afford a complete loss of its investment.

(f)      The Holder agrees and acknowledges that the representations made by the Holder in this Section 14 are conditions to the exercise of this Warrant.

15.      Miscellaneous.

(a)     Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (subject to the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof). This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

(b)     The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

(c)     All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the city of Sacramento, State of California, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the transaction documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under Section 12 hereof and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The Company hereby waives all rights to a trial by jury.

 

10

(d)     The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(e)     In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.1      No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors. None of OIS, AccelMed, MediVision the Principal MV Shareholders, nor any officer, director, shareholder, partner, employee or agent of such Party, if any, makes any representation or warranty as to the fitness or competence of the nominee of any Party hereunder to serve on the Board of Directors by virtue of such Party’s execution of this Agreement or by the act of such Party in voting for such nominee pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.2      Rights under the Convertible Loan Agreement. Each of Noam Allon, Gill Allon and Ariel Shenhar (the “Lenders”) hereby agree, under the circumstances described below, to waive the security and pledge rights granted to him under that certain convertible loan agreement between OIS, MediVision, the Lenders and Delta Trading And Services (1986) Ltd, dated January 12, 2009 (the “Loan Agreement”) with respect to 2,000,000 OIS Shares (such amount, the “Released Shares”) out of an aggregate of 4,837,391 OIS Shares which are owned by MediVision and pledged to all lenders (out of which 2,056,905 OIS Shares are pledged to the Lenders) under the Loan Agreement (the “Pledge” and the “Pledged Shares”), immediately prior to the date on which the Released Shares shall be deposited in an escrow account (the “Escrow”) pursuant to that certain escrow agreement, dated June 24, 2009 (the “Escrow Agreement”), by and among OIS, MediVision and Stephen L. Davis, Esq., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). The Lenders and MediVision agree and irrevocably undertake that they will deposit the Released Shares in the Escrow together with an irrevocable power of attorney authorizing the Escrow Agent to release the Released Shares from the Pledge, to file a release notice with the Israeli Registrar of Pledges and to take any other reasonable action required to implement such release (without the need for any further consent from the Lenders) immediately prior to any event on which the escrow agent shall be entitled to dispose the Released Shares pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, resulting in the Released Shares being free and clear of any third party charge or rights (as shall be evidenced in writing Israeli Registrar of Pledges’ printout). For the avoidance of doubt, a remainder of 2,837,391 Pledged Shares which are not held in the escrow account will not be subject to this Section 3.2. This Section 3.2 shall serve as an amendment of the Loan Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Exhibit 10.5

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of the __ day of ___________, between Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, Inc., a California corporation (“Corporation”), and ______________ (“Director”).

WHEREAS, Director will be a member of the Board of Directors of Corporation, and in such capacity, will perform a valuable service for Corporation;

WHEREAS, in accordance with the authorization provided by subsections (a)(10) and (a)(11) of Section 204 of the California General Corporation Code, as amended (“Code”), Article Four and Five of the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) provides that the liability of directors of Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law and authorizes Corporation to provide indemnification to members of its Board of Directors through agreements with such members in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the Code;

WHEREAS, Corporation recognizes that the indemnification provided by this Agreement is of great importance in attracting highly qualified individuals, such as Director, to serve as members of its Board of Directors; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Director to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of Corporation, Corporation has determined and agreed to enter into this Agreement with Director for the purpose of fully implementing the provisions of Section 204 and Section 317 of the Code and Article Four and Five of the Articles.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Director’s service as a director after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.      Indemnity of Director.   Corporation hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Director to the fullest extent authorized by the provisions of Section 317 of the Code, as it may be amended from time to time.

 

Section 2.      Additional Indemnity.    Subject only to the limitations set forth in Section 3 hereof, Corporation hereby further agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Director:

 

(a)        against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Director in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including an action by or in the right of Corporation) to which Director is, was or at any time becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that Director is, was or at any time becomes a director, officer, employee or agent of Corporation, or is or was serving or at any time serves at the request of Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; and

(b)       otherwise to the fullest extent as indemnification may be provided to Director by Corporation under the provisions of Article V of the Articles and Sections 204(a)(11) and 317 of the Code.

 


Section 3.       Limitations on Additional Indemnity.

 

(a)       No indemnification pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be paid by Corporation for any of the following:

(i)          to the extent that Director is or has been indemnified or reimbursed pursuant to Section 1 hereof or any Directors and Officers Liability Insurance purchased and maintained by Corporation;

(ii)        with respect to remuneration paid to Director if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of applicable law;

(iii)       on account of any suit pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law in which judgment is rendered against Director for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Director of securities of Corporation;

(iv)       if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful under applicable law; or

(v)        on account of any action, suit or proceeding (other than a proceeding referred to in Section 8(b) hereof) commenced by the Director against Corporation or against any officer, director or shareholder of Corporation unless authorized in the specific case by action of the Board of Directors;

(b)       In addition to those limitations set forth above in paragraph (a) of this Section 3, no indemnification pursuant to Section 2 hereof in an action brought by or in the right of Corporation for breach of the Directors duties to Corporation and its shareholders shall be paid by Corporation for any of the following:

(i)         on account of Director’s acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, unless Director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;

(ii)        on account of acts or omissions that Director believes to be contrary to the best interests of Corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of Director;

(iii)       to the extent prohibited by Section 310 of the Code (contracts in which a director has material financial interest);

(iv)       to the extent prohibited by Section 316 of the Code (corporate actions subjecting directors to joint and several liability for prohibited distributions, loans and guarantees); or,

(v)        in any circumstances in which indemnity is expressly prohibited by Section 317 of the Code;

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Corporation hereby acknowledges that Director may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by AccelMed, L.P. or its affiliates (“AccelMed”) Corporation hereby agrees that it (i) is, relative to AccelMed, the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., Corporation’s obligations to Director under this Agreement are primary and any duplicative, overlapping or corresponding obligations of AccelMed are secondary), (ii) shall be required to make all advances and other payments under this Agreement, and shall be fully liable therefor, without regard to any rights Director may have against AccelMed, and (iii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases AccelMed from any and all claims against AccelMed for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by AccelMed on behalf of Director with respect to any claim for which Director has sought indemnification from Corporation shall affect the foregoing and AccelMed shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Director against Corporation. Corporation and Director agree that AccelMed is an express third party beneficiary of the terms of this Section 3(c).

 

2

 

Section 4.      Contribution.     If the indemnification provided in Sections 1 and 2 is unavailable and may not be paid to Director for any reason other than those set forth in Section 3 (excluding Section 3(b)(v)), then in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which Corporation is jointly liable with Director (or would be if joined in such action, suit or proceeding), Corporation shall contribute to the amount of expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Director in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by Corporation on the one hand and Director on the other hand from the transaction from which such action, suit or proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of Corporation on the one hand and of Director on the other in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of Corporation on the one hand and of Director on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. Corporation agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.

 

Section 5.      Continuation of Obligations.       All agreements and obligations of Corporation contained herein shall continue during the period Director is a director of Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and shall continue thereafter so long as Director shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of the fact that Director was a director of Corporation or serving in any other capacity referred to herein.

 

Section 6.      Notification and Defense of Claim.        Promptly after receipt by Director of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, Director will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Corporation under this Agreement, notify Corporation of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify Corporation will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to Director otherwise than under this Agreement. With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Director notifies Corporation of the commencement thereof:

 

(a)    Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense;

 

(b)   Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may wish, Corporation jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to Director (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). After notice from  Corporation to Director of its election to assume the defense thereof, Corporation will not be liable to Director under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Director in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Director shall have the right to employ counsel in such action, suit or proceeding but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Director unless (i) the employment of counsel by Director has been authorized by Corporation, (ii) Director shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between Corporation and Director in the conduct of the defense of such action, or (iii) Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of Corporation. Corporation shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Corporation or as to which Director shall have made the conclusion provided for in (ii) above; and

 

3

 

 

(c)   Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify Director under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without its written consent. Corporation shall not settle any action or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Director without Director’s written consent. Neither Corporation nor Director will unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed settlement.

 

Section 7.       Advancement and Repayment of Expenses.

 

(a)   In the event that Director employs his or her own counsel pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) through (iii) above, Corporation shall advance to Director, prior to any final disposition of any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, any and all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding within ten (10) days after receiving copies of invoices presented to Director for such expenses; and

 

(b)   Director agrees that Director will reimburse Corporation for all reasonable expenses paid by Corporation in defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding against Director in the event and only to the extent it shall be ultimately determined by a final judicial decision (from which there is no right of appeal) that Director is not entitled, under applicable law, the Articles or the Corporation’s Bylaws or this Agreement, to be indemnified by Corporation for such expenses.

 

Section 8.       Enforcement

 

(a)   Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on Corporation hereby in order to induce Director to serve as a director of Corporation, and acknowledges that Director is relying upon this Agreement in serving in such capacity.

 

(b)   In the event Director is required to bring any action to enforce rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement and is successful in such action, Corporation shall reimburse Director for all of Director’s reasonable fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.

 

Section 9.     Severability.      Each of the provisions of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

 

 

 

 

4

 

Section 10.   Non-Exclusivity of Rights.         The rights conferred on Director by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of any other right which Director may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles, Corporation’s Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors, or otherwise, both as to action in Director’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office; provided, that this Agreement shall supersede any prior agreements or understandings, both written and oral, between Director and Corporation, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, and in light of the fact that this Agreement is generally intended to provide for indemnification to the fullest extent possible except as prohibited by law, this Agreement shall not be construed to deprive Director of any indemnification permitted by applicable law with respect to an act or omission to which Director would otherwise have been entitled under any such prior agreement. To the extent that a change in the California Code permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Director shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. Corporation will not adopt any amendment to any of the corporate documents the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber Directors’s right to indemnification under this Agreement.

 

Section 11.   Effective Date.   This Agreement shall apply beginning on Director’s first date of being elected as a director of Corporation.

 

Section 12.   Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 

Section 13.   Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon Director and upon Corporation, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Director, his or her heirs, personal representatives and assigns and to the benefit of Corporation, its successors and assigns.

 

Section 14.   Amendment and Termination.    No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto.

 

Section 15.   Subrogation.     In the event of payment under this Agreement, Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any right Director may have for recovery of the amounts so paid from any third party. Director agrees to execute all documents required and do all other acts necessary to effect the foregoing provisions and permit Corporation to enforce the rights so subrogated.

8.6       Non Competition.

(a)       As an inducement for Purchaser to consummate the transactions set forth in this Agreement, Seller (and its respective Affiliates) agrees that, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, it shall not, directly or indirectly, engage or invest in, own, manage, join, operate, finance, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing or control of, or loan any money to, or have any financial interest in, or acquire any right to share in the profits of, be employed by, associated with, or in any manner connected with, lend its name or credit to, or render services or advice to, any business or Person whose products, services or activities compete, in whole or in part, or in any way interfere, with the Business, the Purchased Assets or Subsidiary anywhere within the world; provided, however, Seller may purchase or otherwise acquire, in the aggregate, up to five percent (5%) of the outstanding voting shares of any publicly held company and any amount of OIS shares of capital stock (but without otherwise participating in the business activities of such company) without otherwise violating the provisions of this Section 8.6.

(b)       Seller acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 8.6 and the period of time, scope and type of restrictions on Seller’s activities set forth herein are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Purchaser, which is paying substantial monies and other benefits to Seller, and are an essential inducement to Purchaser’s entering into and performing this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which Purchaser is party. If any covenant

 

 

 

39

 

 

 


contained in this Section 8.6 shall be determined by any Governmental Body to be invalid or unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, (x) such covenant shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such Governmental Body making such determination, and (y) in its reduced form, such covenant shall then be enforceable, but such reduced form of covenant shall only apply with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in or for which such adjudication is made. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Section 8.6 shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

(c)       Seller acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of the covenants contained in this Section 8.6 will likely cause Purchaser material and irreparable damage, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at Law for any such breach will likely be inadequate. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Purchaser shall, in addition to all other available rights and remedies (including, but not limited to, seeking such Damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach), be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief in respect of any breach or threatened breach of this covenant, without being required to post bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the available remedies at Law.

Seller and Purchaser agree that each of them shall preserve and keep the records held by it or their Affiliates relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date and shall make such records through the period ending on the Closing Date available to the other as may be reasonably required by such party in connection with, any insurance claims by, Legal Proceedings or Tax audits against or governmental investigations of Seller, Subsidiary or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or in order to enable Seller or Purchaser to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event Seller or Purchaser wish to destroy such records prior to such time, such party shall first give thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within that thirty (30) day period, to take possession of the records within sixty (60) days after the date of such notice.

(a)       None of Seller or Purchaser shall, and they shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other parties hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the sole judgment of Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Purchaser or Seller list securities, provided that, to the extent required by applicable Law, the party intending to make such release shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts consistent with such applicable Law to consult with the other party with respect to the timing and content thereof.

Seller will notify Purchaser immediately if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing (whether solicited or unsolicited).

(c)       Seller shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under Sections 10.2(a), until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), and then for the total amount of Damages.

10.3       Indemnification by Purchaser.

(a)       Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and pay to the applicable Seller Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all Damages based upon or resulting from:

 

(i)

any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or in any other document, schedule, instrument or certificate delivered hereunder or in respect of a claim made based upon alleged facts that if true could constitute any such breach or inaccuracy;

 

(ii)

any breach or violation of any Pre-Closing Covenant or Post-Closing Covenant by Purchaser;

 

(iii)

based upon or arising directly from any Assumed Liability; and

 

(iv)

based upon or arising directly from Purchaser’s operation of the Purchased Assets after the Closing Date;

(b)       Seller shall take and cause their Affiliates to take all reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(c)       Purchaser shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under Sections 10.2(a), until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), and then for the total amount of Damages.

(a)       A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought.

(b)       In the event that any Legal Proceeding shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which payment may be sought under Sections 10.2 and 10.3 hereof (an “Indemnification Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. The

failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is irreparably and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure in which case such indemnification shall be reduced but only to the extent of such irreparable and material prejudice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to select counsel of its choice to defend the Indemnifying Party, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to vigorously and diligently defend against, negotiate, settle (subject to subsection (c)) any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Damages indemnified against by it hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, at any time after the Indemnified Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (b) and before such Indemnifying Party’s written response to the Indemnified Party, file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend against, negotiate or settle any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Damages indemnified by it hereunder, it shall, within thirty (30) days (or sooner if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires), notify the Indemnified Party of its intent to do so and provide reasonable assurance of its ability to pay the Indemnification Claim; provided that if the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, or settle any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Damages indemnified against hereunder, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate or settle such Indemnification Claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its or their own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnified Party; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.4(b) to the contrary, neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant provides to the Indemnified Party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant with a release as per the preceding sentence, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and pay the amount called for by such offer, and the Indemnified Party declines to accept such offer, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept plus the Damages of the Indemnified Party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer, or (B) the aggregate Damages of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

 

 

 

49

 

 

 


(d)       In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Sections  10.2 or 10.3, as applicable, against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not impair such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably and materially prejudiced thereby in which case such indemnification shall be reduced but only to the extent of such irreparable and material prejudice. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice or fails to notify, in writing, the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days thereafter whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice, the Damages in the amount specified in such written notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to attempt to negotiate a resolution of such dispute within thirty (30) days.

(e)       After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter.

(f)        This Section 10.4 shall not apply to any Claims made in respect of Taxes, which shall be specifically governed by Section 11.4.

(g)       This Section 10.4 shall not apply to any actions taken pursuant to Sections 8.14, 8.15 and/or 8.16, which shall be specifically governed by their respective terms

10.5     Escrow. On the earlier of (i) the date of execution of a Purchase Agreement between Purchaser U.M AccelMed, Limited Partnership (“AccelMed”), or (ii) the date of execution of this Agreement, Seller shall deposit 3,793,452 shares of common stock of Purchaser beneficially owned by Seller, free of any third parties rights, into an escrow account, and (ii) on the Closing Date, Seller shall deposit additional 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Purchaser, beneficially owned by Seller free of any third parties rights, into an escrow account (all such securities, together with any and all proceeds of disposal of such securities by Seller (if and to the extent such disposal was consummated prior to the lapse of the Escrow Period), the “Escrow Reserve”), in each case held by Stephen L. Davis, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), and governed by an agreement to be executed by the applicable parties substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C; provided, that Seller shall have no obligation to deposit the 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Purchaser in the escrow account on the Closing Date if Seller has satisfied and discharged all of its OCS Debt and Obligations prior to the Closing Date. The Escrow Reserve shall be retained by the Escrow Agent until the earlier of (1) date of the termination of this Agreement, or (2) the later of (A) the 24 month anniversary of the Closing Date or (B) the satisfaction and discharge by Seller of the OCS Debt and Obligations (the “Escrow Period”) in order to (a) secure the indemnification obligations of Seller pursuant to

 

 

 

50

 

 

 

 


Section 10.2 ; (b) secure the obligations of Seller and to enable the provision of remedies to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.14, (c) secure the obligations of Seller and to enable the provision of remedies to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.15, and (d) secure the obligations of Seller and to enable the provision of remedies to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.16. Any amounts remaining in the Escrow Reserve after satisfaction of the obligations hereof shall be disbursed in accordance with the escrow agreement.

10.6     Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or failure to be true and correct, or alleged breach or failure to be true and correct, of any representation or warranty or any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, shall be indemnification in accordance with this Section 10. For avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that the indemnification of Purchaser under Section 10 shall not be limited to the Escrow Reserve and Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from and to be indemnified for all Damages regardless of the value or amount of the Escrow Reserve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.6 shall not operate to limit the rights of the parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief).

ARTICLE 11

 

TAXES

11.1     Payment of Sales, Use or Similar Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign sales Taxes applicable in their respective jurisdictions to the Purchased Assets and Purchased Shares and all other applicable sales, use, value-added, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, real estate transfer, stock transfer, gross receipts, registration, duty, securities transactions, transfer or similar fees or Taxes or governmental charges (including real property transfer gains Taxes, UCC3 filing fees, FAA, ICC, DOT, real estate and motor vehicle registration, title recording or filing fees and other amounts payable in respect of transfer filings) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than Taxes measured by or with respect to income imposed on Seller or its Affiliates) (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). Purchaser shall file all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to all such amounts in a timely manner. To the extent Seller has any Liability for any Transfer Taxes under this Section 11.1.

11.2      Cooperation on Tax Issues.

(a)       Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets, Purchased Shares and the Assumed Liabilities as is reasonably necessary for the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, claim for refund or other filings relating to Tax matters, for the preparation for any Tax audit, for the preparation for any Tax protest, for the prosecution or defense of any suit or other proceeding relating to Tax matters. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller agrees (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Subsidiary relating to any taxable period beginning at or before the

 

 

 

51

 

 

 


Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Body, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Seller shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(b)       Seller and Purchaser further agree, upon request, to use their reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby). The reasonable costs incurred by Seller and Purchaser during the process of obtaining said certificate or other document shall be borne by the party that benefits of the mitigation, reduction or elimination of any Tax.

11.3      Tax Refunds; Tax Benefit Amounts.

(a)       Any refunds or credits of Taxes of Subsidiary attributable to any period (or portion thereof) ending at or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) which is an Excluded Asset shall be for the benefit of, and promptly paid to, Seller to the extent not reflected as an asset in the balance sheet or the Total Consideration; provided, however, if the Tax being refunded shall have been paid by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser after the Closing Date, such refund shall be paid to Purchaser or such Affiliate. Purchaser shall forward or reimburse to Seller any such Tax refunds or credits received within five (5) days after receipt thereof (but no earlier than two (2) Business Days after the deposit of any such payment made by check has cleared) reduced by any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser or Subsidiary to collect such refund or credit.

(b)       Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election of Subsidiary with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Seller. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall make or cause Subsidiary to make an election under Section 338 of the Code or any comparable or similar election under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the Purchased Shares.

11.4       Tax Matters.

(a)       Tax Indemnification.

 

(i)

Except as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to be liable for and to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all Taxes of Subsidiary for any taxable period ending at or before the Closing Date.

 

(ii)

Seller hereby agrees to be liable for and to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against all Excluded Liabilities set forth in Sections 2.4(b) and 2.4(c).

 

 

 

52

 

 

 


 

(iii)

Purchaser hereby agrees to be liable for and to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all Taxes of Subsidiary for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date.

 

(iv)

Purchaser hereby agrees to be liable for and to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all Assumed Liabilities set forth in Sections 2.3(g) and 2.3(h).

 

(b)       Tax Audits.

 

(i)

If notice of any action, suit, investigation or audit with respect to Taxes of Subsidiary (a “Tax Claim”) shall be received by either party for which the other party may reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to this Agreement, the notified party shall notify the other party in writing of such Tax Claim. Failure to notify the other party of the Tax Claim will not relieve the other party of any liability that it may have to the notified party, except to the extent that the other party demonstrates that the defense of such Tax Claim is prejudiced by the notified party’s failure to give such notice.

 

(ii)

To the extent the Tax Claim relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Seller will have the right to assume control of the defense of the Tax Claim with counsel of their choice at any time within thirty (30) days after Seller has received notice of the Tax Claim. If Seller assumes such defense, Subsidiary and/or Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ at their own expense counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller separate from the counsel employed by Seller. So long as Seller has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Tax Claim in accordance with the above, Subsidiary and/or Purchaser will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event that Seller refuse to assume the defense of the Tax Claim as provided above, Subsidiary and/or Purchaser may defend against the Tax Claim; provided, however, that neither Subsidiary nor Purchaser may consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Tax Claim without the prior written consent of Seller.

(c)       Disputes. Any dispute as to any matter covered hereby shall be resolved by Purchaser and Seller in good faith. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other. If any dispute with respect to a Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner which the party responsible for preparing such Tax Return deems correct.

 

 

 

53

 

 

 


(d)       Time Limits. Any claim under this Section 11.4  may only be made until (a) the third anniversary of the filing of the relevant Tax Return with respect to any Tax for a Pre-Closing Period filed with a United States federal, state or local Taxing Authority, and (b) the relevant statute of limitations under applicable Tax Law for any Tax Return filed with a foreign Taxing Authority.

All proceedings and decisions of the Arbitrator shall be maintained in confidence, to the extent legally permissible, and shall not be made public by any party or any Arbitrator without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration, except as may be required by law. The expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the non-prevailing party to the arbitration, including, but not limited to, the cost of experts, evidence and legal counsel.

The terms and conditions of the Guarantee shall be subject to the prior approval of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, further that the terms and conditions of the Guarantee (including the conditions and procedure for the realization of the Guarantee) shall not be less favorable to the Purchaser than the rights and remedies granted to the Purchaser and/or the Purchaser’s ability to recover from the Escrow Property (as defined below) under this Agreement. The Escrow Property shall be held in escrow until the earlier of (i) date of the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the later of (A) the 24 month anniversary of the date of the APA Closing Date or (B) the satisfaction and discharge by the Seller of the OCS Debt and Obligations (the “Termination Date”).

A portion of the purchase price will consist of OIS’ assumption of the indebtedness owed by MediVision to MTB in account number 035576 in branch number 461. We would also like to inform you that OIS intends to enter into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with U.M AccelMed, Limited Partnership (“AccelMed”), pursuant to which OIS will issue to AccelMed shares of OIS and AccelMed (i) will invest $4,000,000 in the 1st installment (the “1st Installment”), and (ii) have the option to invest an additional $2,000,000 in the 2nd installment (the “2nd Installment”). A condition precedent to the closing of the 1st Installment is the execution of this letter by MTB and OIS which sets forth the material terms of a new loan agreement (the “New Loan Agreement”) to be entered into by MTB and OIS as soon as practicable following the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement. By affixing their signatures to this letter, MTB and OIS affirm that they have reached a meeting of the minds on the binding terms and conditions of the subject matter of this letter and agree to implement these binding understandings in a definitive New Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

 

The conditions and/or precedent conditions to the New Loan Agreement will be as follows:

 

 

1.

OIS will be the sole borrower and therefore will sign the customary loan documents of MTB.

 

 

2.

The existing charges in favor of MTB over assets of MediVision and OIS will be amended so they both secure OIS’ debt to MTB. As a condition to the transferring of Medivision’s Intellectual Property to OIS, an amendment to the OIS charge will be made in such manner that the charge will include such Intellectual Property purchased from MediVision. OIS will bear all cost with regards to the charges amendments and executions.

 

 

3.

Within 14 days following the signing of the Purchase Agreement, OIS will open a bank account with MTB’s Main Business Center in Tel Aviv (branch no. 461). A $750,000 cash deposit will be maintained in such bank account until June 30, 2010, after which OIS must maintain at least $375,000 in such account. The deposit shall bear customary interest.

 

 

4.

Financial Covenants. (Cash plus Accounts Receivables) divided by the amount of indebtedness outstanding under the New Loan Agreement must be not less than 150%. The meeting of the covenants will be determined on a quarterly basis based on quarterly financial reports and yearly audited financials reports.

 

 

5.

Principal repayments will be made in 18 equal monthly installments beginning on January 31, 2011; provided that if OIS does not receive at least $1,000,000 in the 2nd Installment by June 30, 2010, OIS may elect one the following principal repayment options:

 

 

Principal repayments of $60,000 per month beginning on July 31, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2010. The remaining principal balance will be repaid in 18 equal monthly installments beginning on January 31, 2011. OIS commits to maintain a cash balance of at least $1,000,000 (decreasing pro-rata to OIS’ outstanding indebtedness to MTB), 50% of which will be deposited in OIS’ bank account with MTB; or

 

 

Principal repayment in 18 equal monthly installments beginning on January 31, 2011. OIS commits to maintain a cash balance of at least $1,500,000 (decreasing pro-rata to OIS’ outstanding indebtedness to MTB), 50% of which will be deposited in OIS’ bank account with MTB. 

 

 

6.

Interest rate: LIBOR + 4.75%.

 

 

7.

Upon execution of the New Loan Agreement OIS will issue to MTB warrants to purchase 350,000 shares of common stock of OIS with an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the “Warrants”); provided, that if there is an “Exit” event in OIS (as will be defined in the Warrant Agreement), MTB may elect to receive in lieu of the Warrants a one time payment of $225,000. The Warrants will have a term of three years from the date of the closing of the investment by AccelMed.

 

 

8.

Except as in appendix A and a second pledge for Tailwind, no other charges or pledges, except MTB’s, are or will be existing on OIS, except in the ordinary course of business. In addition we agree not to post for sale over the receivable exchange any receivables, without MTB’s written consent.

 

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, MediVision may deposit any and all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by MediVision in an escrow account for the benefit of OIS to secure any amounts due and payable by MediVision to OIS under the Asset Purchase Agreement.The Common Stock deposited in the Escrow Account will also secure certain undertakings and representations provided by MediVision to OIS in the Purchase Agreement. We intend to register a second priority pledge in favor of OIS with respect to the MediVision Intellectual Property relating to the IRI domain. We agree that MTB’s consent to the creation of such second priority pledge is subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) we shall not be entitled to enforce the second priority pledge or otherwise realize or dispose of any of it, without the consent of MTB, in advance and in writing, (ii) we shall not be entitled to oppose any enforcement by MTB of the existing pledge and not to oppose realization or disposition proceedings thereof initiated by MTB.

 

MTB’s agreements under this letter are contingent upon, and subject to, the signing by OIS and AccelMed of the Purchase Agreement and the signing of the Asset Purchase Agreement not later then 15.7.2009.

 

Very truly yours,

Exhibit 10.9

 

EXTENSION AGREEMENT

 

This Extension Agreement (“Amendment”) is made as of this 3rd day of June, 2009 by and between Ophthalmic Imaging Systems, a California corporation (“Company”), and The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. (“Tail Wind”) and Solomon Strategic Holdings, Inc. (“Solomon”, and together with Tail Wind, the “Holders”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 29, 2007 by and between the Company and the Holders, on or about such date the Company sold and issued to the Holders (i) 6.5% Convertible Notes Due April 30, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $2,750,000 (“Notes”), which Notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company, no par value per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (“Warrants”); capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Notes or Warrants, as the case may be;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Notes, the Company is required to make payment of Bi-Monthly Amounts until the Notes are repaid in full on the Maturity Date;

WHEREAS, all Bi-Monthly Amounts due prior to the date hereof have been paid in full;

WHEREAS, the Holders are willing to extend the payment dates for such Bi-Monthly Amounts and the Maturity Date on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants set forth in this Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.      Extension. In consideration for the New Warrants being issued pursuant to Section 2 below and subject to the terms hereof, the Holders hereby agree that:

 

(a)

each remaining Bi-Monthly Payment Date under the Notes, beginning on June 30, 2009 shall be extended by 18 months, such that the next occurring Bi-Monthly Payment Date shall be December 31, 2010 and thereafter the Bi-Monthly Payment Dates shall be the last Business Day of each other calendar month (for example, the originally scheduled Bi-Monthly Payment Date for June 30, 2009 shall be extended until and shall occur on December 31, 2010, the originally scheduled Bi-Monthly Payment Date for August 31, 2009 shall be extended until and shall occur on February 28, 2011, the originally scheduled Bi-Monthly Payment Date for October 31, 2009 shall be extended until and shall occur on April 30, 2011, and so forth); and

 

(b)

the Maturity Date under the Notes shall be extended until October 31, 2011;

 

1

 


provided however, that such extensions shall immediately expire and terminate, as if this Amendment were never entered into, in the event that the Company fails to receive at least $3,999,908.90 at a first closing of the Common Stock Financing Transaction (as defined below) on or prior to July 31, 2009 (“Financing Condition”). In the event that the Financing Condition is not timely satisfied, then (1) any and all Bi-Monthly Amounts which would have been previously due and payable if not for this Amendment shall become immediately due and payable, (2) any and all Bi-Monthly Amounts with an applicable Bi-Monthly Payment Date extended hereunder shall become due and payable on the Bi-Monthly Payment Date set forth in the Notes without consideration of this Amendment, and (3) the Maturity Date shall revert to April 30, 2010 (subject to acceleration as set forth in the Notes).

For purposes hereof, “Common Stock Financing Transaction” means the sale and issuance of an aggregate of 13,214,317 shares of Common Stock by the Company to U.M. AccelMed Limited Partnership (“AccelMed”) in a capital raising financing to occur in two closings, provided that (a) the direct or indirect effective purchase price per share of Common Stock shall be equal to $0.41522 for the 9,633,228 shares of Common Stock sold in the first closing of the Common Stock Financing Transaction and $0.55848 for the 3,581,089 shares of Common Stock sold in the deferred closing of the Common Stock Financing Transaction, (b) the transaction shall not be a Variable Rate Transaction or MFN Transaction or otherwise contain any adjustments to such effective sale price per share or any exercise price under any warrants (except for weighted-average anti-dilution adjustment of the exercise price under warrants in connection with any equity issuances, substantially similar to that set forth in the Warrants), and (c) the Company may issue to the purchasers thereof, in connection with any such financing, warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to up to 33% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold to such purchasers in such financing, provided that the effective exercise price per share of Common Stock under such warrants shall be equal to $1.00.

The Company represents and warrants to the Holders that (i) it has entered into an agreement to receive $3,999,908.90 million in the first closing of the Common Stock Financing Transaction, and (ii) the purchaser therein has committed to invest an additional $1,999,966.50 in the deferred closing of the Common Stock Financing Transaction contemplated to occur on or prior to June 30, 2010, provided that such second round Common Stock Financing Transaction is subject to certain milestones to be achieved by the Company which are set forth in such agreement.

2.   New Warrants. As consideration for the extensions granted by the Holders herein, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holders 3-year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate at an initial exercise price per share equal to $1.00 (“New Warrants”). The New Warrants shall be in the same form as the Warrants, except that the initial Warrant Price shall be $1.00, the Issuance Date shall be the date hereof, the Expiration Date shall be three (3) years from the date hereof, and Cashless Exercise shall be permitted nine (9) months following the date hereof if there is not an effective registration statement and current prospectus covering the resale of all the shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants by the Holders. Such New Warrants shall be duly and validly issued and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances and shall be delivered to the Holders within five (5) business days after the date hereof.

3.   Conditions Subsequent. The Financing Condition and the Company’s obligation to timely issue the New Warrants shall be conditions subsequent to this Amendment, and if such conditions are not timely made then this Amendment shall be null and void as if this Amendment were never entered into, provided that if the Financing Condition is not satisfied the Holders shall still keep and retain the New Warrants without any affect thereon.

4.   Rule 144. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, for purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), the holding period for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or cashless exercise of, or otherwise pursuant to, the Notes and/or Warrants, shall have commenced on October 29, 2007 (the date of original issuance of the Notes and the Warrants), notwithstanding this Amendment. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time it is determined that such holding period does not relate back to such date, the Company will promptly cause the registration of all such underlying shares under the Securities Act to the extent not so registered (without regard to any beneficial ownership or issuance limitations contained in the Notes and/or Warrants). In connection with any registration of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section, the Company and the Holders shall enter into a registration rights agreement containing customary and reasonable provisions regarding the registration of securities under the Securities Act which shall not be more favorable than the registration rights granted under the Common Stock Financing Transaction.

5.   Adjustments. For clarification, the Conversion Price under the Notes and the Warrant Price under the Warrants shall be adjusted in accordance with their terms as a result of any Common Stock Financing Transaction and the issuance of the New Warrants and the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holders a notice of adjustment pursuant to the Notes and Warrants reflecting the adjusted Conversion Price and Warrant Price in connection with the Common Stock Financing Transaction and the issuance of the New Warrants.

6.   Disclosure. To the extent the transactions contemplated by this Amendment constitute material non-public information concerning the Company or are otherwise required to be publicly disclosed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, the Company shall, within three (3) business days following the date hereof, issue a press release and/or Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and the Holder shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.   Waiver.  Each of the Holders hereby:

(a) acknowledges that the Company has provided advance written notice to the Purchasers, within the prescribed period, pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement, with respect to the currently contemplated Common Stock Financing Transaction with AccelMed; 

(b) expressly waives its right to participate in the currently contemplated Common Stock Financing Transaction with AccelMed pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement;

(c) expressly waives its right to have the Company reserve 125% of the number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit the full conversion of Notes (including payment and repayment of interest and principal thereon) and to permit the full exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants pursuant to Section 7.5 of the Purchase Agreement, until June 30, 2010, provided that the Company reserves at least 1.4 million shares of Common Stock for the conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants and New Warrants;

(d) expressly waives its rights triggered upon a Change in Control Transaction (as defined therein) in connection with the currently contemplated Common Stock Financing Transaction with AccelMed, pursuant to Section 3(c)(vi) of the Notes, provided that AccelMed does not beneficially own in excess of 49.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock or voting power (provided for this purpose that AccelMed shall not be deemed to beneficially own (i) any shares underlying warrants until such warrants are exercised but shall be deemed to own any shares into which convertible debt or convertible preferred securities are convertible if such securities entitle AccelMed to any voting rights, or (ii) any shares issued upon exercise of warrants so long as such shares are sold in a private transaction or publicly on a national securities exchange or the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board within 90 days following such exercise and during such 90-day period AccelMed does not vote such shares on, or consent to, any matters concerning the Company or otherwise engage in any corporate actions concerning the Company); provided however, that AccelMed’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock may exceed such 49.9% figure if such excess is due solely to the Company’s retirement to treasury or cancellation of shares currently owned by MediVision which are forfeited to the Company in connection with the acquisition of MediVision, so long as AccelMed does not vote such shares in excess of 49.9% (or otherwise consent to any action or matter in lieu of a vote).

(e) expressly waives its right to convert the Notes under Section 3 of the Notes and exercise the Warrants under Sections 2(a) and (c) of the Warrant in an aggregate amount in excess of 1.4 million shares of Common Stock until the earliest to occur of (i) June 30, 2010, (ii) the date on which the Company amends its Articles of Incorporation to increase the amount of shares of Common Stock to 100 million; and (iii) the date on which the Company consents to the conversion of the Notes in full and exercise the Warrants in full (such earliest date, the “Deadline”) (for clarification, with respect to any cashless exercise of any warrants only the net number of shares of Common Stock to be received shall be counted with respect to the 1.4 million shares limit).

 

3

 


8.   Additional Shares.   If at any time after the Deadline the Company does not have duly authorized and reserved for issuance to the Holders, upon conversion and exercise of the Notes, Warrants and New Warrants, a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 125% of the number shares issuable in the aggregate upon full conversion of the Notes and full exercise of the Warrants and New Warrants (without consideration of any limitations on beneficial ownership contained therein) (“Reserve Amount”), then (i) such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Notes, and (ii) each Holder may compel the Company to purchase its Warrants and/or New Warrants at the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model value for such securities. If at any time after December 31, 2009 (“Effective Date”) the Company does not have authorized and reserved for issuance to the Holders, upon conversion and exercise of the Notes, Warrants and New Warrants, a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Reserve Amount, then the Company shall make pro-rata payments to the Holders, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 2% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding under the Notes for each month (or portion thereof) following the Effective Date that the Company does not have the requisite number of duly authorized and reserved shares as provided herein..

9.    Miscellaneous.

(a) Full Force and Effect. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby (“Transaction Documents”) shall remain in full force and effect. Except for the waiver and modifications contained herein, this Amendment shall not in any way waive or prejudice any of the rights or obligations of the Holders or the Company under the Transaction Documents, under any law, in equity or otherwise, and such modifications shall not constitute a waiver or modification of any other provision of the Transaction Documents nor a waiver or modification of any subsequent default or breach of any obligation of the Company or of any subsequent right of the Holders.

(b) Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

(c)  Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Amendment may be executed by facsimile or by email of a digital image format or portable document format of the signature page hereto.

(d) Entire Agreement. This Amendment together with the Purchase Agreement (and all documents referred to therein), the Notes, the Warrants and the New Warrants contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Holders make any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

Issuance Date: June 24, 2009

 

OPHTHALMIC IMAGING SYSTEMS

PURCHASE WARRANT

WARRANT (“WARRANT”) TO PURCHASE SHARES OF

COMMON STOCK, NO PAR VALUE PER SHARE

This is to certify that, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, [                                                  ] (“Warrantholder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from OPHTHALMIC IMAGING SYSTEMS, a corporation organized under the laws of California (“Company”), at any time and from time to time after the issuance hereof but not later than 11:59 P.M., Eastern time, on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Issuance Date hereof (“Expiration Date”), [               ] shares (“Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), of the Company, at an exercise price per share equal to $1.00 (the exercise price in effect from time to time hereafter being herein called the “Warrant Price”). The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein.

This Warrant has been issued pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) dated on or about the date hereof between the Company and the Warrantholder. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning specified in the Purchase Agreement.

 

 

 

 


 

Section 1.        Registration. The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of the Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.

Section 2.        Transfers. As provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) or an exemption from registration thereunder. Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer this Warrant from time to time, upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender hereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer upon any such transfer, and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the Company.

Section 3.

(a)       Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on and after the Exercise Date upon surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto (the “Exercise Agreement”) (which may be by fax or email), to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), and upon payment to the Company in cash, by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer for the account of the Company of the Warrant Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Agreement. The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the holder hereof or such holder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered to the Company (or such later date as may be specified in the Exercise Agreement). Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised. The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of such holder or such other name as shall be designated by such holder. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall (subject to Section 3(b) below), at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the holder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system, upon request of the Warrantholder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares issuable upon exercise to the Warrantholder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Warrantholder’s (or such designee’s) prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).

(b)       Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the Warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless such holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant. The Warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Warrantholder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise. The Warrantholder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof.

(c)       Cashless Exercise. During any time following the date which is nine (9) months following the Issuance Date hereof that there is not an effective registration statement and current prospectus covering the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Warrantholder, the Warrantholder shall have the right to pay the aggregate Warrant Price by “Cashless Exercise”. To effect a Cashless Exercise, the holder shall submit to the Company on the Exercise Agreement written notice of the holder’s intention to do so, including a calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event of a Cashless Exercise, in lieu of paying the Warrant Price in cash, the holder shall surrender this Warrant for that number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares to which it would otherwise be entitled by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the difference between the then current Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock and the applicable Warrant Price, and the denominator of which shall be the then current Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock. For this purpose, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock shall be the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock as reported by the Principal Market for the ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Agreement.

Section 4.        Compliance with the Securities Act of 1933. Neither this Warrant nor the Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof nor any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be offered or sold except as provided in this Warrant and in conformity with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and then only against receipt of an agreement of such person to whom such offer of sale is made to comply with the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to any resale or other disposition of such security. The Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant until the Warrant Shares have been registered for resale under the Registration Rights Agreement or until Rule 144 is available, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend is unnecessary.

Section 5.        Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of this Warrant in respect of which such shares are issued. The holder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal or state law, if any such tax is due.

Section 6.        Mutilated or Missing Warrants. In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if reasonably requested by the Company.

Section 7.        Reservation of Common Stock. The Company hereby represents and warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at all applicable times keep reserved, out of the authorized and unissued Common Stock, a number of shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant in full (without regard to any restrictions on beneficial ownership contained herein), and the transfer agent for the Common Stock, including every subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the right of purchase aforesaid (“Transfer Agent”), shall be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as shall be requisite for such purpose. The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its terms shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company. The Company will keep a conformed copy of this Warrant on file with its Transfer Agent. The Company will supply from time to time the Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates required to honor the outstanding Warrant.

Section 8.        Warrant Price. The Warrant Price, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9, shall, if payment is made in cash or by certified check, be payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

Section 9.        Adjustments. Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter.

(a)       If the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall at any time or from time to time while the Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its capital stock in shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or combine its outstanding shares into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the date upon which such change shall become effective, shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b)       If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitations, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or properties thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume, by written instrument executed and delivered to the Company, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.

(c)       In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets or subscription rights or warrants, the Warrant Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Closing Price per share of Common Stock (as defined below), less the fair market value (on a per share basis) (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Closing Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. “Closing Price” of the Common Stock shall be the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock as reported by the Principal Market on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which such value is being determined.

(d)       In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or Convertible Securities (as defined in the Notes), or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any options for the purchase of its Common Stock or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding (other than pursuant to terms existing on the date hereof), at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined in the Notes) which is less than the greater of (x) the closing price on the Trading Day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options, or (y) the then applicable Warrant Price, then in each such case, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such closing price or Warrant Price, as the case may be, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.

The foregoing provisions of this subsection shall not apply to issuances or sales of (w) the Securities, (x) Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of Convertible Securities outstanding on the issuance date hereof in accordance with the terms in effect on such issuance date, (y) Common Stock or Convertible Securities under the Company’s duly adopted stock option and bonus plans for employees and directors, or (z) Common Stock to the current shareholders of MediVision Medical Imaging Ltd. in exchange for shares of common stock of such entity in connection with the acquisition of such entity as currently contemplated. For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities. For purposes of this Section, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be used.

(e)       An adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.

(f)        In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 9, the holder of this Warrant shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.

(g)       In the event of any adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder upon exercise, the Warrant Price shall be inversely proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, such that the aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares upon full exercise of this Warrant shall remain the same. Similarly, in the event of any adjustment in the Warrant Price, the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder upon exercise shall be inversely proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be, such that the aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares upon full exercise of this Warrant shall remain the same.

Section 10.      Fractional Interest. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall round such calculation to the nearest whole number and disregard the fraction.

Section 11.      Benefits. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder.

Section 12.      Notices to Warrantholder. Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjusted Warrant Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. In the event of a dispute with respect to any such calculation, the certificate of the Company’s independent certified public accountants shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of any computation made, absent manifest error. Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment. At the Warrantholder’s request, the Company shall deliver to the Warrantholder as of a requested date a notice specifying the Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable as of such date.

Section 13.      Identity of Transfer Agent. The initial Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is:

 

 

______________________________

______________________________

______________________________

 

 

Forthwith upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Common Stock or other shares of the Company’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrant, the Company will fax to the Warrantholder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the holder upon exercise pursuant to the terms hereof shall not exceed a number that, when added to the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by such holder at such time (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities (including the Notes and Warrant Shares) that have limitations on the holder’s right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), together with all shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) by the Warrantholder’s “affiliates” at such time (as defined in Rule

Such changes are intended not as amendments to the Warrant but only as clarification of the foregoing numbers for convenience purposes, and such changes shall not affect any provisions concerning adjustments to the Warrant Price or number of Warrant Shares contained herein.

The Company will at no time close its shareholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

The Warrantholder shall notify the Company of any such assignment or transfer promptly. This Warrant shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Warrantholder and its successors and permitted assigns.
