SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders listed below (or their successors and assigns) were issued, or may be issued, as the case may be, in connection with our July 2020 Private Placement.

 

On July 28, 2020, we entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”) with accredited investors relating to an offering with respect to the sale of an aggregate of (i) 2,969,266 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $7.47 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 824,689 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “First Closing”), at a purchase price of $7.4699 per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share offering price per share, less a $0.0001 per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant. In addition, on July 30, 2020, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with an accredited investor for the purchase of 31,486 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share of $7.94 (the “Second Closing” and together with the First Closing, the “Offering”). The closing of the Offering took place on July 31, 2020.

 

In connection with the July 2020 Private Placement we have agreed to file this registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock sold in the offering by October 29, 2020.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may not exercise the warrant if the holder, together with any group that the holder is a member, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants may terminate, increase or decrease this percentage by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrant is also subject to a limitation on exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant if such exercise would result in such holder, together with any group that the holder is a member, beneficially owning more 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before giving effect to such exercise, unless shareholder approval is obtained. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

Other than the relationships described herein, to our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders are employees or suppliers of ours or our affiliates. Within the past three years, other than the relationships described herein, none of the selling stockholders has held a position as an officer a director of ours, nor has any selling stockholder had any material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates.  All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders, unless otherwise noted.  The shares being offered are being registered to permit public secondary trading of such shares and each selling stockholder may offer all or part of the shares it owns for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. None of the selling stockholders has any family relationships with our officers, other directors or controlling stockholders.

 

Any selling stockholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers and any participating broker-dealers are deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such selling stockholder or broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

The term “selling stockholders” also includes any transferees, pledgees, donees, or other successors in interest to the selling stockholders named in the table below. Unless otherwise indicated, to our knowledge, each person named in the table below has sole voting and investment power (subject to applicable community property laws) with respect to the shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such person’s name. We will file a supplement to this prospectus (or a post-effective amendment hereto, if necessary) to name successors to any named selling stockholders who are able to use this prospectus to resell the Common Stock registered hereby.

(1) Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock subject to warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days of September 2, 2020, are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the selling stockholder holding such options or warrants but are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other selling stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain selling stockholders may not have voting or investment power over such shares, and therefore may not beneficially own such shares, due to their inability to exercise warrants or convert shares of preferred stock as a result of certain contractual beneficial ownership limitations contained therein.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders, and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer and sell, separately or together, some or all of the shares of Common Stock, or the securities, covered by this prospectus. Registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean, however, that those securities necessarily will be offered or sold.

 

The securities covered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change or at negotiated prices, by a variety of methods including the following:

 

  · in the Nasdaq Capital Market;

 

  · in privately negotiated transactions;

 

  · through broker-dealers, who may act as agents or principals;

 

  · through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis;

 

  · in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell a block of securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  · directly to one or more purchasers;

 

  · through agents; or

 

  · in any combination of the above.

 

In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealer transactions may include:

 

  · purchases of the securities by a broker-dealer as principal and resales of the securities by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

  · ordinary brokerage transactions; or

 

  · transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers on a best efforts basis.

 

To our knowledge, the selling stockholders have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus. At any time a particular offer of the securities covered by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents. In addition, to the extent required, any discounts, commissions, concessions and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, as well as any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, will be set forth in such revised prospectus supplement. Any such required prospectus supplement, and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (which we refer to as the DGCL) provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.

 

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract. In addition, our director and officer indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers provide, among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or required by Delaware law, provided that no indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification in connection with any claim initiated by the indemnitee against us or our directors or officers unless we join or consent to the initiation of the claim, or the purchase and sale of securities by the indemnitee in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.

 

We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the DGCL would permit indemnification.

 

ITEM 16. EXHIBITS.

 

The exhibits filed with this registration statement are set forth on the “Exhibit Index” set forth elsewhere herein.

 

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(A)          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

Provided, however , that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

11

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(B)          That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof unless such Warrant is surrendered to the Company and reissued to the Holder pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii).

The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per Warrant Share, was pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to the Company to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever, including in the event this Warrant shall not have been exercised prior to the Termination Date. The remaining unpaid exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.0001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c)        Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

 

 

 

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

 

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

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

d)       Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i.           Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Company within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Subscription Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder.

 

 

 

 

ii.           Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii.          Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv.          No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

v.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

 

 

 

vi.          Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

e)        Holder’s Exercise Limitations. For so long as the Common Stock is an equity security as defined in Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates (which for purposes of this Section 2(e) and Section 2(f), shall include any employee of such Holder and any person having beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder), and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include only the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, giving effect to the limitation of the foregoing sentence, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable and beneficially owned by the Holder or its Affiliates or any of its Attribution Parties upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant but for the limitation of the foregoing sentence and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other right to acquire Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents held by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties, but for a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Any exercise of this Warrant and issuance of Common Stock in violation of the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) shall be null and void. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith (other than as it relates to a Holder relying on the number of shares issued and outstanding as provided by the Company pursuant to this Section). In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, at the written election of any Holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. A Holder, upon at least sixty-one (61) days advance notice to the Company, may terminate, increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e). The limitations contained in this Section 2(e) shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. The limitations contained in this Section 2(e) and Section 2(f) shall terminate immediately at any time at which the Common Stock ceases to be an “equity security” as defined in Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule).

 

 

 

 

f)        Primary Market Limitation. Unless the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the applicable Trading Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, would beneficially own in excess of the Primary Market Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) held by such Holder or any of Affiliates or Attribution Parties, but for a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith (other than as it relates to a Holder relying on the number of shares issued and outstanding as provided by the Company pursuant to this Section). To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(f) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Company. A determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder in the sole discretion of the Holder or Holders. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The “Primary Market Limitation” shall be 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately before giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 

 

 

 

Section 3.          Certain Adjustments.

 

a)        Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)       [RESERVED]

 

c)        Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

 

 

 

d)       Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

 

 

 

e)            Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

f)            Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

 

 

g)            Notice to Holder.

 

i.            Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.            Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

 

 

Section 4.             Transfer of Warrant.

 

a)            Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. In connection with any transfer other than pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Holder, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of the Subscription Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Holder under the Subscription Agreement. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b)            New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c)            Warrant Register. 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 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.

 

 

 

Section 5.             Miscellaneous.

 

a)            No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c), in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

b)            Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c)            Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d)            Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

 

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e)            Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

Each of such Common Shares and Warrant Shares to be offered and sold from time to time by certain of the selling stockholders listed in the Registration Statement under the heading “Selling Stockholders”.

 

We are acting as counsel for the Company in connection with the Registration Statement. We have examined and relied upon resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company as provided to us by the Company, a certificate of an officer of the Company and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, each as amended to date, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.

 

In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents.  Other than our examination of the documents indicated above, we have made no other examination in connection with this opinion.

The opinions rendered herein are limited to the General Corporation Law statute of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

(1)The Common Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and are nonassessable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2)When the Warrant Shares have been issued and sold as contemplated by the pre-funded warrant terms, and the Company has received the consideration provided for by such pre-funded warrant, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

The opinions set forth herein are rendered as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update such opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in the law which may hereafter occur (which may have retroactive effect).

 

This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. This opinion may not be relied upon for any other purpose, or furnished to, quoted or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent, except that (A) this opinion may be furnished or quoted to judicial or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over you, and (B) this opinion may be relied upon by purchasers and holders of the securities covered by the Registration Statement currently entitled to rely on it pursuant to applicable provisions of federal securities law.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

DarioHealth Corp.

8 HaTokhen Street

Caesarea Industrial Park

Israel 3088900

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Subscription. The undersigned (the “Purchaser”), intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from DarioHealth Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock” or “Common Shares”), issued at a price per share equal to the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), rounded down to the nearest whole share (i.e., the lesser of (i) the Nasdaq official closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq.com immediately preceding the signing of the applicable binding agreements for each Closing) or (ii) the average Nasdaq official closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq.com for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the applicable binding agreements for each Closing. In addition, the Company is also offering to certain purchasers, in lieu of Common Shares, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), with the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant equal to the Minimum Price applicable for the closing in which the Pre-Funded Warrants are issued, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrants will be $0.0001 per share. Depending on the context, any reference to “Common Shares” in this Subscription Agreement shall include “Pre-Funded Warrants.” The minimum investment amount for each purchaser participating in the Offering is $250,000, which minimum investment may be waived at the discretion of the Company and the Placement Agent. The Common Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants being sold in the Offering (as defined below), are as fully described in the Memorandum (as defined below). This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is one in a series of similar subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) entered into pursuant to the Offering.

 

1.             The Offering. This subscription is submitted to you in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement and the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum of the Company dated July __, 2020, as amended or supplemented from time to time, including all attachments, schedules and exhibits thereto (the “Memorandum”), relating to the offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of a minimum of $10,000,000 of Common Shares (the “Minimum Offering Amount”), and up to a maximum of $20,000,000 of Common Shares (the “Maximum Offering Amount”), with an over-allotment amount of up to $10,000,000 of Common Shares (the “Over-Allotment Amount”). SternAegis Ventures, through Aegis Capital Corp., (“SternAegis”), has been engaged as exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering (sometimes referred to as the “Placement Agent”). The terms of the Offering are more completely described in the Memorandum and such terms are incorporated herein in their entirety.

 

  1 
 

 

2.             Deliveries and Payment; Escrow of Funds. Simultaneously with the execution hereof, the Purchaser shall: (a) deliver to SternAegis in accordance with the Subscription Instructions attached hereto, (i) one (1) completed and executed Omnibus Signature Page to this Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (page 15), (ii) a completed Accredited Investor Certification (pages 17-18), (iii) a completed Investor Profile (pages 19-20) and (iv) one (1) completed and executed Tax Certification for U.S. Persons or Non-U.S. Persons, as applicable (beginning on page 22); and (b) make a wire transfer payment to, “Signature Bank, Escrow Agent for DarioHealth Corp.” in an amount equal to the dollar amount of Common Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants being purchased. Wire transfer instructions are set forth on page 12 hereof under the heading “To subscribe for Common Shares in the private offering of DarioHealth Corp.” Such funds will be held for the Purchaser's benefit in a non-interest-bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) until the earliest to occur of (a) a closing of the sale of the Minimum Offering Amount or more (the “First Closing”), (b) the rejection of such subscription, or (c) the termination of the Offering by the Company or the Placement Agent. The Company and the Placement Agent may continue to offer and sell the Common Shares and conduct additional closings for the sale of additional Common Shares after the First Closing and until the termination of the Offering.

 

3.            Acceptance of Subscription. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for Common Shares, in whole or in part, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this subscription. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to require potential subscribers to supply additional information and execute additional documents in a satisfactory manner, which determination shall be at the sole discretion of the Company, prior to the acceptance of this Subscription Agreement. The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement. If this subscription is rejected in whole, the Offering is terminated or the Minimum Offering Amount is not raised, all funds received from the Purchaser will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If this subscription is rejected in part, the funds for the rejected portion of this subscription will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

 

4.            Representations and Warranties.

 

The Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants, and agrees as follows:

 

(a)            None of the Common Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) offered pursuant to the Memorandum are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Common Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Subscription Agreement.

 

  2 
 

 

(b)           The Purchaser understands that, as further described in the Memorandum, the Common Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered may be sold at one or more closings and the applicable price per share at which the Common Shares is being sold at each closing and the applicable price per Pre-Funded Warrants is being sold at each closing may vary from closing to closing since such purchase price will be measured at the time of each Closing. Accordingly, the Purchaser acknowledges the risk that the purchase price of the Common Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants that it purchases may be higher than the applicable purchase price paid by other investors who participate in a different closing.

 

(c)           Prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax adviser, if any (collectively, the “Advisers”), have received the Memorandum and all other documents requested by the Purchaser, have carefully reviewed them and understand the information contained therein.

 

(d)           Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission or other regulatory authority has approved the Common Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the Memorandum. The Memorandum has not been reviewed by any federal, state or other regulatory authority.

 

(e)           All documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment in the securities offered pursuant to the Memorandum (including, without limitation, the Memorandum) have been made available for inspection by such Purchaser and its Advisers, if any.

 

(f)            The Purchaser and its Advisers, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering of the securities pursuant to the Memorandum and the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company and LabStyle Innovation Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”) and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and its Advisers, if any.

 

(g)           In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) other than as stated in the Memorandum and the Purchaser and its Advisors have had access, through the Memorandum and/or the EDGAR system, to true and complete copies of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “10-K”) and all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since the filing of the 10-K and prior to the date hereof and have reviewed such filings (the “SEC Reports”).

 

(h)           The Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the Internet (including, without limitation, internet “blogs,” bulletin boards, discussion groups and social networking sites) in connection with the Offering and is not subscribing for the securities being offered pursuant to the Memorandum and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally.

 

  3 
 

 

(i)            The Purchaser has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than commissions to be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent or as otherwise described in the Memorandum).

 

(j)            The Purchaser, together with its Advisers, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Common Shares (or the Pre-Funded Warrants, if applicable) and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

 

(k)            The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, the Placement Agent or any of their respective employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Company, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisers.

 

(l)            The Purchaser is acquiring the securities being offered pursuant to the Memorandum solely for such Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or intent of resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part. The Purchaser has no agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the securities being offered pursuant to the Memorandum, and the Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement.

 

(m)          The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the securities being offered pursuant to the Memorandum indefinitely because none of the Common Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Legends shall be placed on the Common Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s stock books. Stop transfer instructions will be placed with the Company’s transfer agent. The Company has agreed that purchasers of the Common Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants will have, with respect to the Common Stock or the Pre-Funded Warrants Shares, as applicable, the registration rights described in the Memorandum. Notwithstanding such registration rights, there can be no assurance that there will be any market for resale of the foregoing securities, nor can there be any assurance that such securities will be freely transferable at any time in the foreseeable future.

 

(n)           The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity from its investment in the Common Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants for an indefinite period of time.

 

(o)           The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Common Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, is high risk, involving a number of very significant risks and has carefully read and considered the matters set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Memorandum and in the SEC Reports, and, in particular, acknowledges that the Company with its Subsidiary is a development stage company which has only recently entered the commercialization stage of its technology, has had significant operating losses since inception, limited revenues from operations to date, and are engaged in highly competitive businesses.

 

  4 
 

 

(p)           The Purchaser meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D and as set forth on the Accredited Investor Certification contained herein.

 

(q)           The Purchaser (i) if a natural person, represents that the Purchaser has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, represents that such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered pursuant to the Memorandum, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the securities offered pursuant to the Memorandum, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Subscription Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ward, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Subscription Agreement, and such individual, partnership, ward, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.

 

(r)            The Purchaser and the Advisers, if any, have had the opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent the Company has such information in their possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Memorandum and all documents received or reviewed in connection with the purchase of the securities and have had the opportunity to have representatives of the Company provide them with such additional information regarding the terms and conditions of this particular investment and the financial condition, results of operations, and business of the Company and the Subsidiary deemed relevant by the Purchaser or the Advisers, if any, and all such requested information, to the extent the Company has such information in their possession or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, has been provided to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and the Advisers, if any.

 

  5 
 

 

(s)           Any information which the Purchaser has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company or the Placement Agent is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company and the Placement Agent in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws in connection with the offering of securities as described in the Memorandum. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company and the Placement Agent immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company's issuance of the securities being offered and sold pursuant to the Memorandum.

 

(t)            The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about investment considerations in development-stage companies with limited operating histories. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the securities being offered and sold pursuant to the Memorandum will not cause such commitment to become excessive. Investment in the Company as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement is suitable for the Purchaser.

 

(u)           The Purchaser is satisfied that the Purchaser has received adequate information with respect to all matters which it or the Advisers, if any, consider material to its decision to make an investment in the Company in the securities being offered and sold pursuant to the Memorandum as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

 

(v)           The Purchaser acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Memorandum were prepared by the Company in good faith but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company or the Subsidiary and should not be relied upon.

 

(w)           The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been provided with, and has reviewed, Aegis’ Regulation Best Interest Form CRS and Disclosure Supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “BI CRS and Disclosure Supplement”) and has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of Aegis concerning the BI CRS and Disclosure Supplement.

 

(x)            No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Purchaser or the Advisers, if any, in connection with the Offering which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Memorandum.

 

(y)           Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company or the Placement Agent, the Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company or the Placement Agent is subject.

 

(z)           The Purchaser's substantive relationship with either the Company, the Placement Agent or subagent through which the Purchaser is subscribing for Common Shares predates such Placement Agent's or such subagent's contact with the Purchaser regarding an investment in the Common Shares.

 

  6 
 

 

(aa)         THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY (INCLUDING THE PRE-FUNDED WARRANTS AND THE PRE-FUNDED WARRANT SHARES) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. SUCH SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED, APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE MEMORANDUM OR THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.

 

(bb)         In making an investment decision in the Company, investors must rely on their own examination of the Company, the Subsidiary and the terms of the Offering, including the merits and risks involved. The Purchaser should be aware that it will be required to bear the financial risks of investment in the Company and the securities being offered and sold pursuant to the Memorandum for an indefinite period of time.

 

(cc)          (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

(dd)        The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac> before making the following representations. The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals1 or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists.

 

 

1 These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

 

The USA PATRIOT Act

 

What is money laundering? How big is the problem and why is it important?

 

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.

 

To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and the Placement Agent’s efforts to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

 

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.

 

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

 

What the Placement Agent is required to do to help eliminate money laundering?

 

Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, the Placement Agent’s anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with the new laws.

 

As part of the Placement Agent’s required program, it may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents that the Placement Agent needs, it may not be able to effect any transactions for you.

Section B – Investor Representations 

(Please Check Each)

 

¨ I understand that an investment in the securities is speculative and this characterization is consistent with my overall investment objectives.

¨ I understand that an investment in the securities has the potential to be a long term investment. It is consistent with my investment objectives and my financial situation that a return on an investment in the securities, if there is a return at all, may take three to five years or longer. I have no current or anticipated need for liquidity in my investment in the securities that would require me to liquidate my investment over a shorter period of time and I can afford a loss of my entire investment in the securities.

 

¨ I confirm that I have reviewed Aegis’ Regulation Best Interest Form CRS and Disclosure Supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “BI CRS and Disclosure Supplement”) and have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of Aegis concerning the BI CRS and Disclosure Supplement.

Investment Objectives: The typical investment listed with each objective are only some examples of the kinds of investments that have historically been consistent with the listed objectives. However, neither the Company nor the Placement Agent can assure that any investment will achieve your intended objective. You must make your own investment decisions and determine for yourself if the investments you select are appropriate and consistent with your investment objectives.

 

Neither the Company nor the Placement Agent assumes responsibility to you for determining if the investments you selected are suitable for you.

 

Preservation of Capital: An investment objective of Preservation of Capital indicates you seek to maintain the principal value of your investments and are interested in investments that have historically demonstrated a very low degree of risk of loss of principal value. Some examples of typical investments might include money market funds and high quality, short-term fixed income products.

 

Income: An investment objective of Income indicates you seek to generate income from investments and are interested in investments that have historically demonstrated a low degree of risk of loss of principal value. Some examples of typical investments might include high quality, short and medium-term fixed income products, short-term bond funds and covered call options.

 

Capital Appreciation: An investment objective of Capital Appreciation indicates you seek to grow the principal value of your investments over time and are willing to invest in securities that have historically demonstrated a moderate to above average degree of risk of loss of principal value to pursue this objective. Some examples of typical investments might include common stocks, lower quality, medium-term fixed income products, equity mutual funds and index funds.

 

Trading Profits: An investment objective of Trading Profits indicates you seek to take advantage of short-term trading opportunities, which may involve establishing and liquidating positions quickly. Some examples of typical investments might include short-term purchases and sales of volatile or low priced common stocks, put or call options, spreads, straddles and/or combinations on equities or indexes. This is a high-risk strategy.

 

Speculation: An investment objective of Speculation indicates you seek a significant increase in the principal value of your investments and are willing to accept a corresponding greater degree of risk by investing in securities that have historically demonstrated a high degree of risk of loss of principal value to pursue this objective. Some examples of typical investments might include lower quality, long-term fixed income products, initial public offerings, volatile or low priced common stocks, the purchase or sale of put or call options, spreads, straddles and/or combinations on equities or indexes, and the use of short-term or day trading strategies.

(2)          For not more than thirty (30) consecutive days or for a total of not more than sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may suspend the use of any prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of MNPI concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that (i) such Registration Statement shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein or (ii) such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, including in connection with the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement in connection with the Company’s filing of an Annual Report on Form 10-K for any fiscal year (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Holder in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Holder) disclose to such Holder any MNPI giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Holders in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

 

(d)            Piggyback Registration Rights. In addition to the Company’s agreement pursuant to Section 2(a) above, if the Company shall, at any time during the Effectiveness Period or as contemplated pursuant to Section 2(c) and ending when all Registrable Securities have been sold by Holders, determine (i) to register for sale any of its Common Stock in an underwritten offering, or (ii) to file a registration statement covering the resale of any shares of the Common Stock held by any of its shareholders (other than the registration contemplated in Section 2(a) above), the Company shall provide written notice to the Holders, which notice shall be provided no less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the filing of such applicable registration statement (the “Company Notice”). In that event, the right of any Holder to include the Registrable Securities in such a registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s written request to participate which shall be delivered to the Company within ten (10) calendar days after the Company Notice, as well as such Holder’s participation in such underwriting (if applicable, for purposes of this paragraph) and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to sell any of their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any other stockholders of the Company selling their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock or the amount of other securities to be underwritten, the underwriter may exclude some or all Registrable Securities from such registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all Holders (except those Holders who failed to timely elect to include their Registrable Securities through such underwriting or have indicated to the Company their decision not to do so), and indicate to each such Holder the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting, if any. The number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company, then to all other selling stockholders, including the Holders, who have requested to sell in the registration on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares requested to be included therein. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities therefrom by delivering a written notice to the Company and the underwriter. A Holder with Registrable Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required in order to comply with any applicable law or regulation in connection with the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities or any qualification or compliance with respect to such Holder’s Registrable Securities and referred to in this Agreement. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(d) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a piggyback registration at any time in its sole discretion.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holders, or any such director, officer, partner, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such shares by the Holder.

(b)            As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, each Holder agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 8 and to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state law, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y)(1), in the case of any registration statement prepared and filed by the Company under which Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, if such registration statement contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (2) in the case of any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in such registration statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission referred to in (y)(1) or (y)(2) above is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the registration statement or such prospectus or (ii) to the extent that (1) such untrue statements or omissions referred to in (y)(1) or (y)(2) above are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(f) hereof, the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the advice contemplated in Section 3(f). Each Holder’s obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)            Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this Section (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof or the indemnifying party fails to defend such claim in a diligent manner. If, in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the assumption of the defenses thereof, the indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, unless such consent to entry of judgment or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the rights set forth above, in any event any party shall have the right to retain, at its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.

 

10

 

 

(d)            If an indemnifying party does or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action pursuant to Section 8(c) or in the case of the expense reimbursement obligation set forth in Sections 8(a) and (b), the indemnification required by Sections 8(a) and 8(b) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills received or expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities are incurred provided that the indemnifying party is provided appropriate documentation.

 

(e)            If the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall (i) contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as is appropriate to reflect the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other (determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission), or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount hereinafter calculated, not only the proportionate relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, but also the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each Holder’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 8(e) shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

9.            Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holders to sell the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) to make and keep public information available as those terms are understood in SEC Rule 144, (ii) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by an issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act pursuant to SEC Rule 144, (iii) as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish in writing upon such Holder’s request a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and to furnish to such Holder a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as may be reasonably requested in availing such Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC permitting the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration, (iv) with respect to the sale of any Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to SEC Rule 144 and subject to Holder providing necessary documentation to meet the requirements of such rule, to promptly furnish, without any charge to such Holder, a written legal opinion of its counsel to facilitate such sale and, if necessary, instruct its transfer agent in writing that it may rely on said written legal opinion of counsel with respect to said sale and (v) undertake any additional actions commercially necessary to maintain the availability of Rule 144.

The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

PLACEMENT AGENCY AGREEMENT

 

July 21, 2020

 

Aegis Capital Corp.

810 Seventh Ave, 18th Floor

New York, NY 10019

 

Re:         DarioHealth Corp.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This Placement Agency Agreement (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms upon which Aegis Capital Corp., a New York corporation (“Aegis” or “Placement Agent”), a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), shall be engaged by DarioHealth Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) to act as exclusive Placement Agent in connection with the private placement (the “Offering”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 of the Company (“Common Stock”) issued at the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)) rounded down to the nearest whole share. The Company is also offering to certain purchasers, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, in lieu of purchasing shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will be equal to the Minimum Price applicable for the closing in which the Pre-Funded Warrants are issued, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrants will be $0.0001 per share. The Offering will consist of a minimum of $10,000,000 of shares of Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (“Minimum Offering Amount”) and up to a maximum of $20,000,000 of shares of Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (“Maximum Offering Amount”) which shall be offered on a “reasonable efforts, all or none” basis as to the Minimum Offering Amount and a “reasonable efforts” basis for all amounts in excess of the Minimum Offering Amount. In the event the Offering is oversubscribed, the Company and Placement Agent may, in their mutual discretion, agree to sell up to an additional aggregate of $10,000,000 of shares of Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Overallotment”).

 

The minimum investment in the Offering will be $100,000 of shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that subscriptions for lesser amounts may be accepted in the Company’s and Placement Agent’s joint discretion. The Placement Agent shall accept subscriptions only from persons or entities who qualify as “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants will be offered until the earlier of (i) the termination of the Offering as provided herein, (ii) the time that all shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants offered in the Offering are sold or (iii) September 30, 2020 (“Initial Offering Period”), which date may be extended by the Placement Agent and the Company in their joint discretion until December 31, 2020 (this additional period and the Initial Offering Period shall be referred to as the “Offering Period”). The date on which the Offering expires or is terminated shall be referred to as the “Termination Date.”

 

 

 

With respect to the Offering, the Company shall provide the Placement Agent, on terms set forth herein, the right to offer and sell all of the Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants being offered. Purchases of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants may be made by the officers, directors, employees and affiliates of the Placement Agent. All such purchases, together with purchases by officers, directors, employees and affiliates of the Company, shall be included in calculations as to whether the Minimum Offering Amount, Maximum Offering Amount or Overallotment has been sold in the Offering. The Company, in its sole discretion, may accept or reject, in whole or in part, any prospective investment in the Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, it is understood that no sale shall be regarded as effective unless and until accepted by the Company. The Company and the Placement Agent shall mutually agree with respect to allotting any prospective subscriber less than the number of shares of Common Stock (sometimes referred to herein as “Common Shares”) and/or Pre-Funded Warrants that such subscriber desires to purchase. The Common Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants are sometimes referred to herein as the “Securities.”

 

The Offering will be made by the Company solely pursuant to the Memorandum (as defined below), which at all times will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Placement Agent and their respective counsel and contain such legends and other information as Company, the Placement Agent and their respective counsel, may, from time to time, deem necessary or desirable to be set forth therein. “Memorandum” as used in this Agreement means Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated on or about July 21, 2020, inclusive of all annexes, and all amendments, supplements and appendices thereto.

 

1.            Appointment of Placement Agent. On the basis of the representations and warranties provided herein, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Placement Agent is appointed as exclusive placement agent for the Company during the Offering Period to assist the Company in finding qualified subscribers for the Offering. The Placement Agent may sell the Securities through other broker-dealers who are FINRA members, as well as through foreign finders pursuant to applicable FINRA rules, and may reallow all or a portion of the Agent Compensation (as defined in Section 3(b) below) it receives to such other broker-dealers or foreign finders. On the basis of such representations and warranties and subject to such terms and conditions, the Placement Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform its services hereunder diligently and in good faith and in a professional and businesslike manner and to use its reasonable efforts to assist the Company in (A) finding subscribers for the Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants who qualify as “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, and (B) completing the Offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to purchase any of the Securities being offered. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement, the engagement of the Placement Agent hereunder shall continue until the later of the Termination Date or the Final Closing (as defined below).

 

2.            Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. Except as set forth in the Memorandum, the SEC Reports (as defined herein) or in the schedule of exceptions delivered to the Placement Agent on the date hereof (the “Schedule of Exceptions”), the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Section 2 are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement.

(a)           The Memorandum has been prepared by the Company in compliance in all material respects with Regulation D and Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and the requirements of all other rules and regulations (the “Regulations”) relating to offerings of the type contemplated by the Offering, and the applicable securities laws and the rules and regulations of those jurisdictions wherein the Placement Agent notifies the Company that the Securities are to be offered and sold excluding any foreign jurisdictions. The Securities will be offered and sold pursuant to the registration exemptions provided by Regulation D and Section 4(a)(2) of the Act as a transaction not involving a public offering and the requirements of any other applicable state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations thereunder in those United States jurisdictions in which the Placement Agent notifies the Company that the Securities are being offered for sale. To the extent that any Securities are offered in jurisdictions outside of the United States, such Securities will be offered and sold in compliance with all applicable laws that govern private securities offerings in the applicable country and in all local jurisdictions in which such Securities are offered. None of the Company, its affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Placement Agent, its affiliates or any person acting on its behalf, in respect of which no representation is made) has taken nor will it take any action that conflicts with the conditions and requirements of, or that would make unavailable with respect to the Offering, the exemption(s) from registration available pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D or Section 4(a)(2) of the Act, or knows of any reason why any such exemption would be otherwise unavailable to it. None of the Company, its predecessors or affiliates has been subject to any order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enjoining such person for failing to comply with Section 503 of Regulation D. The Company has not, for a period of six months prior to the commencement of the Offering, sold, offered for sale or solicited any offer to buy any of its securities in a manner that would be integrated with the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement and would cause the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 506(b) of Regulation D to become unavailable with respect to the offer and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement in the United States. For purposes of this Agreement, "to the Company’s Knowledge" or similar phrases means (a) the actual knowledge of any of Erez Raphael and Zvi Ben-David of a fact or matter after making reasonable inquiry.

 

(b)            The Memorandum does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, the foregoing does not apply to any statements or omissions made solely in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically for use in the preparation thereof. To the Company’s Knowledge, none of the statements, documents, certificates or other items made, prepared or supplied by the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made. There are no facts, circumstances or conditions which the Company has not disclosed in the Memorandum and of which the Company is aware that has had or that could reasonably be expected to have a Company Group Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 2(c) below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to any estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans) that may have been delivered to the Placement Agent or its representatives or that are contained in the Memorandum, except that such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans have been prepared in good faith on the basis of assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were believed to be reasonable at the time of such preparation. Any statistical and market-related data included in the Memorandum are based on or derived from sources that the Company believes, after reasonable inquiry, to be reliable and accurate in all material respects and, to the extent required, the Company has obtained the written consent to the use of such data from such sources.

(c)            The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as described in the Memorandum. Section 2(c) of the Schedule of Exceptions lists each entity owned or controlled, directly or indirectly by the Company (each a “Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). Each Subsidiary is duly incorporated or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or foreign jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, as applicable, as set forth in Section 2(c) of the Schedule of Exceptions. Except as set forth on Section 2(c) of the Schedule of Exceptions, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) owns or controls, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation, association or other business entity or (ii) participates in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement. Each Subsidiary has the requisite company power to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry out its business as described in the Memorandum. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company Group) is qualified or licensed to do business in the jurisdictions listed in Section 2(c) of the Schedule of Exceptions, except for any failure to be so qualified or licensed that would not have a Company Group Material Adverse Effect. Each member of the Company Group is qualified or licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which the character of the properties owned or held under lease by it or the nature of its business makes qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Group Material Adverse Effect. No member of the Company Group is in violation of any provision of any of its organizational documents. As used in this Agreement, “Company Group Material Adverse Effect” means any event, circumstance, change or effect that, individually or in the aggregate with all other events, circumstances, changes and effects, is or is reasonably likely to be materially adverse to (i) the business, condition (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that clause (i) shall not include any event, circumstance, change or effect resulting from (y) changes in general economic conditions or changes in securities markets in general that do not have a materially disproportionate effect (relative to other industry participants) on the Company or its Subsidiaries or (z) general changes in the industries in which the Company and the Company Subsidiaries operate, except those events, circumstances, changes or effects that adversely affect the Company and its Subsidiaries to a materially greater extent than they affect other entities operating in such industries.

 

(d)            The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Memorandum (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Subscription Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Memorandum (the “Subscription Agreement”), the Pre-Funded Warrants substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Memorandum, the Escrow Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and the other agreements contemplated hereby (this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby that the Company is executing and delivering hereunder are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”).

(e)            The Securities to be purchased by investors pursuant to the Memorandum and the Agent Warrants (as defined in Section 3(b)) to be issued to the Placement Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement have been duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will have the rights, preferences and priorities set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. The shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and when issued by the Company, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) and the Agent Warrants (“Agent Warrant Shares”) have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and when issued by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Agent Warrants, as applicable, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The issuance of the Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants in the Offering, Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, Agent Warrants and Agent Warrant Shares are not subject to any preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company. The capital stock of the Company conforms in all material respects to all statements relating thereto contained in the Memorandum and in the SEC Reports (as defined below). No purchaser of any of the Securities in the Offering, Agent Warrants, Agent Warrant Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares will be subject to personal liability solely by reason of being such a holder.

 

(f)            Prior to the First Closing, each of the Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement, which has already been authorized) will have been duly authorized. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes, and each of the other Transaction Documents, upon due execution and delivery, will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms (i) except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect related to laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, including the effect of statutory and other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances and preferential transfers, and except that no representation is made herein regarding the enforceability of the Company’s obligations to provide indemnification and contribution remedies under the securities laws and (ii) subject to the limitations imposed by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 

(g)            Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (with or without the passage of time or giving of notice): (i) violate any injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge or other restriction, or any Law (as defined below) applicable to any member of the Company Group, (ii) violate any provisions of any of the charter documents of any member of the Company Group, (iii) violate or constitute a default (or any event which, with or without due notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a violation or default) under, result in the termination of, accelerate the performance required by any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Material Contract (as defined in Section 2(n) below) of any member of the Company Group, or by which any member of the Company Group, or any of its respective operating assets, is bound or (iv) result in the creation of any lien, charge or other encumbrance on the assets or properties of any member of the Company Group. “Law” means any applicable federal, national, regional, state, municipal or local law, statute, treaty, rule, regulation, ordinance, order, code, judgment, decree, directive, injunction, writ or similar action or decision.

(h)            The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. The SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

 

(i)            Since the date of the Company’s most recent financial statements contained in the Memorandum, there has been no Company Group Material Adverse Effect.

 

(j)            As of the date of the First Closing, the Company will have the authorized and outstanding capital stock (as of the date of the Memorandum) as set forth under the heading “DESCRIPTION OF THE SHARES AND CAPITAL STOCK” in the Memorandum.

3.             Placement Agent Compensation.

 

(a)            In connection with the Offering, the Company will pay at each Closing (as defined in Section 4(e) below) a cash fee (the “Agent Cash Fee”) to the Placement Agent equal to 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Securities consummated at such Closing, provided, however, that the Agent Cash Fee shall be ultimately reduced to 3% with respect to sales of Securities (x) to any parties that were introduced by the Company (“Company Introductions”) and (y) that are initiated through the efforts of qualified finders introduced by the Company located outside of the United States (“Foreign Finders” and sales facilitated through such efforts, hereinafter, “Foreign Finder Related Sales”). In that regard, the Company will notify the Placement Agent of any Foreign Finders that wish to participate in the Offering and shall use its best efforts to have such Foreign Finders execute Referral Agreements with the Placement Agent governing, among other things, compensation matters, with Foreign Finder Related Sales being deposited in the Escrow Account (as defined below). To the extent that any potential Foreign Finder does not execute a Referral Agreement with the Placement Agent, alternative arrangements with respect to participation in the Offering in compliance with all applicable laws will be discussed by the parties hereto, but in all events, except as otherwise agreed to by the Placement Agent, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to an Agent Cash Fee of not less than 3% on Foreign Finder Related Sales.

 

(b)            As additional compensation, at or within ten (10) business days following the Final Closing, the Company will issue to the Placement Agent (or its designee(s)) for nominal consideration, five-year warrants (the “Agent Warrants”) to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as is equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares sold in this Offering. The exercise price of the Agent Warrants shall be based on the applicable price the shares of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants sold at each Closing (the Agent Cash Fee and Agent Warrants are sometimes referred to herein collectively as “Agent Compensation”). The Agent Warrants will be exercisable on a “cashless” basis for the five year period following issuance. The Agent Warrants will be in such authorized denominations and will be registered in such names as the Placement Agent shall request in an instruction letter (the “Agent Warrant Instruction Letter”) to be delivered to the Company promptly following the Final Closing and the Company shall deliver such Agent Warrants to the Placement Agent within ten (10) business days following the delivery of the Agent Warrant Instruction Letter. Notwithstanding the above, the Agent Warrant coverage shall be 5% with respect to sales of shares of Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants to Company Introductions and Foreign Finder Related Sales.

 

15

 

 

(c)            At each Closing, the Company will pay Aegis a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the aggregate purchase price of the Securities sold at such Closing (inclusive of sales to Company Introductions and Foreign Finder Related Sales) (the “Agent Expense Allowance”). The Agent Expense Allowance payable at the First Closing shall be reduced by the $25,000 advance paid to Aegis previously. The Placement Agent will not bear any of Company’s legal, accounting, printing or other expenses in connection with any transaction contemplated hereby. Aegis will pay for its own expenses, including all of its legal fees and expenses, from the Agent Expense Allowance.

 

(d)            The Company shall also pay and issue to the Placement Agent the Agent Compensation calculated according to the percentages set forth in Sections 3(a) and (b) of this Agreement, if any person or entity contacted by the Placement Agent and provided with a Memorandum during the Offering Period and with whom the Placement Agent has discussions regarding a potential investment in the Offering, invests in the Company (other than through open or public market purchases or securities purchased in any underwritten public offering) and irrespective of whether such potential investor purchased Securities in the Offering (the “Tail Investors”) at any time prior to the earlier of the date that is twelve (12) months after the Termination Date or the Final Closing (“Tail Period”), whichever is applicable. The names of Tail Investors shall be provided in writing by the Placement Agent to the Company upon written request following the Termination Date or the Final Closing, as the case may be (the “Tail Investor List”). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Tail Investor List is proprietary to the Placement Agent, shall be maintained in strict confidence by the Company and those persons/entities on such list shall not be contacted by the Company without the Placement Agent’s prior written consent; provided, however, that such restrictions shall not apply to ordinary course shareholder communications by the Company to its shareholders, including those Tail Investors that are shareholders of the Company. In the event the Placement Agent exercises its right of first refusal with respect to an offering pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(e) below, the specific compensation terms to the Placement Agent that are negotiated in such offering shall govern and the provisions of this Section 3(d) will not be operative with respect to such offering.

(e)            Effective upon the First Closing, the Company hereby grants to Aegis, for a period of six (6) months following the Final Closing (the “ROFR Term”), the irrevocable preferential right of first refusal to act as lead or co-placement agent for any proposed private placement of the Company’s securities (equity or debt) that is proposed to be consummated to investors in the United States with the assistance of a registered broker dealer. In that regard, it is understood that if the Company determines to pursue such a financing during the ROFR Term and wishes to engage a placement agent to assist in connection with such offering, the Company shall promptly provide the Placement Agent with a written notice of such intention and statement of terms (the “Notice”). If, within ten (10) business days of the receipt of the Notice, the Placement Agent does not accept in writing such offer to act as lead or co-placement agent with respect to such offering upon the terms proposed, then the Company shall be entitled to engage a placement agent other than Aegis; provided that the terms of the compensation to be paid to such other placement agent or underwriter are not materially less favorable to the Company than the terms included in the Notice. The Placement Agent’s failure to exercise these preferential rights in any situation shall not affect its preferential rights to any subsequent offering during the ROFR Term. The Company represents and warrants that no other person has any right to participate in any offer, sale or distribution of the Company’s securities to which Aegis’ preferential rights shall apply.

 

4.             Subscription and Closing Procedures.

 

(a)            The Company shall cause to be delivered to the Placement Agent copies of the Memorandum, consents to the use of such copies for the purposes permitted by the Act and applicable securities laws and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and hereby authorizes Placement Agent and its agents and employees to use the Memorandum in connection with the offering of the Securities until the earlier of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the Final Closing. No person or entity is or will be authorized to give any information or make any representations other than those contained in the Memorandum or to use any offering materials other than those contained in the Memorandum in connection with the sale of the Securities.

 

(b)            During the Offering Period, the Company shall make available to the Placement Agent and its representatives such information as may be reasonably requested in making a reasonable investigation of the Company Group and their respective affairs and shall provide access to such employees during normal business hours as shall be reasonably requested by the Placement Agent.

 

(c)            Each prospective purchaser will be required to complete and execute signature pages to the Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Documents”), which will be forwarded or delivered to the Placement Agent at the Placement Agent’s offices at the address set forth in Section 12 hereof, together with the subscriber’s wire transfer in the full amount of the purchase price for the number of shares of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants desired to be purchased, subject to the Escrow Agent’s (as defined below) right to accept a check in lieu of a wire transfer.

 

17

 

 

(d)            All funds for subscriptions received by the Placement Agent from the Offering (not otherwise wired directly to the Escrow Agent) will be promptly forwarded by the Placement Agent and deposited into a non-interest bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established for such purpose with Signature Bank, New York, New York (the “Escrow Agent”). All such funds for subscriptions will be held in the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among the Company, the Placement Agent and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Company will pay all fees related to the establishment and maintenance of the Escrow Account and comply with procedures required by the Escrow Agent. The Company will either accept or reject, for any or no reason, the Subscription Documents in a timely fashion and at each Closing, the Company will countersign the Subscription Documents and provide duplicate copies of such documents to the Placement Agent for distribution to the subscribers. The Placement Agent, on the Company’s behalf, will promptly return to subscribers incomplete, improperly completed, improperly executed and rejected subscriptions.

 

(e)            If subscriptions for at least the Minimum Offering Amount have been accepted prior to the Termination Date, the funds therefor have been collected by the Escrow Agent and all of the conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are fulfilled, the First Closing shall be held promptly with respect to the Securities sold. Thereafter remaining shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants will continue to be offered and sold until the Termination Date and additional closings (each a “Closing”) may from time to time be conducted at times mutually agreed to by the Placement Agent and the Company with respect to additional Securities sold, with the final closing (“Final Closing”) to occur within ten (10) days after the earlier of the Termination Date and the date on which the all Securities has been fully subscribed for. Delivery of payment for the accepted subscriptions for Securities from funds held in the Escrow Account will be made at each Closing against delivery of the shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants by the Company. The shares of Common Stock will be issued to the investors in the Offering in book entry format at each Closing, subject to certain carve-outs as set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

 

(f)            If Subscription Documents for at least the Minimum Offering Amount have not been received and accepted by the Company on or before the Termination Date for any reason, the Offering will be terminated, no Securities will be sold, and pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will, at the Company’s and the Placement Agent’s written direction, cause all monies received from subscribers to be promptly returned to such subscribers without interest, penalty, expense or deduction and the Placement Agent and Company will promptly cooperate to accomplish the foregoing, including providing Escrow Agent with any requested written instructions in such regard.

 

5.             Further Covenants. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that:

 

(a)            Except upon prior written notice to the Placement Agent, the Company shall not, at any time prior to the Final Closing, knowingly take any action which would cause any of the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement not to be complete and correct in all material respects on and as of each Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of each such date (except to the extent any representation or warranty relates to an earlier date).

 

18

 

 

(b)            If, at any time prior to the Final Closing, any event shall occur that causes a Company Material Adverse Effect or otherwise which as a result it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Memorandum so that the representations and warranties herein remain true and correct in all material respects, or in case it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Memorandum to comply with Regulation D or any other applicable securities laws or regulations, the Company will promptly notify the Placement Agent and shall, at its sole cost, prepare and furnish to the Placement Agent copies of appropriate amendments and/or supplements in such quantities as the Placement Agent may reasonably request for delivery by the Placement Agent to potential subscribers. The Company will not at any time before the Final Closing prepare or use any amendment or supplement to the Memorandum of which the Placement Agent will not previously have been advised and furnished with a copy, or which is not in compliance in all material respects with the Act and other applicable securities laws. As soon as the Company is advised thereof, the Company will advise the Placement Agent and its counsel, and confirm the advice in writing, of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Memorandum, or the suspension of any exemption for such qualification or registration thereof for offering in any jurisdiction, or of the institution or threatened institution of any proceedings for any of such purposes, and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as reasonably possible the lifting thereof.

 

(c)            The Company shall comply with the Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, all applicable state securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in the states in which the Company’s blue sky counsel has advised the Placement Agent that the Securities are qualified or registered for sale or exempt from such qualification or registration, so as to permit the continuance of the Securities, and will file or cause to be filed with the SEC, and shall promptly thereafter forward or cause to be forwarded to the Placement Agent, any and all reports on Form D as are required.

 

(d)            The Company shall use its best efforts to qualify the Securities for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as may be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Placement Agent, and Company will make or cause to be made such applications and furnish information as may be required for such purposes, provided that Company will not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction or execute a general consent to service of process. The Company will, from time to time, prepare and file such statements and reports as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect for so long a period as the Placement Agent may reasonably request with respect to the Offering.

 

(e)            The Company shall place a legend on the certificates representing the Securities sold in the Offering and the Agent Warrants that the securities evidenced thereby have not been registered under the Act or applicable state securities laws, setting forth or referring to the applicable restrictions on transferability and sale of such securities under the Act and applicable state laws.

 

19

 

 

(f)            The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities for the purposes substantially as described in the Memorandum. Except as set forth in the Memorandum, the Company shall not use any of the net proceeds of the Offering to repay indebtedness to officers (other than accrued salaries incurred in the ordinary course of business), directors or shareholders of the Company without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent.

 

(g)            During the Offering Period, the Company shall afford each prospective purchaser of Securities the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from an officer of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and the opportunity to obtain such other additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the Memorandum to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable expense. In addition, to the extent that any purchaser of Securities has inquiries concerning any of the business or operations of any member of the Company Group, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that officers of such members are made available to respond to such inquiries.

 

(h)            Except upon obtaining the prior written consent of Aegis, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not, at any time prior to the earlier of the Final Closing or the Termination Date, except as contemplated by the Memorandum (i) engage in or commit to engage in any transaction outside the ordinary course of business, (ii) issue, agree to issue or set aside for issuance any securities (debt or equity) or any rights to acquire any such securities; provided, that the Company shall be permitted to issue stock options and/or restricted stock to officers, advisors, directors and employees of the Company pursuant to its existing equity incentive plan as described in the SEC Reports, (ii) incur, outside of the ordinary course of business, any material indebtedness, (iii) dispose of any material assets, (iv) make any acquisition (except to the extent specifically referenced in the Memorandum) or (v) change its business or operations.

 

(i)             The Company shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and printing of all necessary offering documents and instruments related to the Offering and the issuance of the shares of the Securities and the Agent Warrants and will also pay its own expenses for accounting fees, legal fees and other costs involved with the Offering. All blue sky filings related to this Offering and filing of a Form D with the SEC shall be prepared by the Company’s counsel, at the Company’s expense, with copies of all filings to be promptly forwarded to the Placement Agent. Further, as promptly as practicable after the Final Closing, the Company shall prepare, at its own expense, velobound “closing binders” relating to the Offering and will distribute one such binder to each of the Placement Agent and its counsel.

 

(j)             Until the earlier of the Termination Date or the Final Closing, the Company will not, nor will any person or entity acting on Company’s behalf, negotiate with any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to a private or public offering of such entity’s debt or equity securities. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company’s behalf will, until the earlier of the Termination Date or the Final Closing, without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, offer for sale to, or solicit offers to subscribe for any securities of the Company from, or otherwise approach or negotiate in respect thereof with, any other person.

 

20

 

 

5A.          Placement Agent Further Covenants. The Placement Agent shall not, at any time during the Offering Period, knowingly take any action which would cause any of the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement not to be complete and correct in all material respects on and as of each Closing Date with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of each such date (except to the extent any representation or warranty relates to an earlier date). Offers and sales of the Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants by the Placement Agent will be made in accordance with this Agreement and in compliance with the provisions of Regulation D, Regulation S, if applicable, and the Securities Act.

 

6.             Conditions of Placement Agent’s Obligations. The obligations of the Placement Agent hereunder to effect a Closing are subject to the fulfillment, at or before each Closing, of the following additional conditions:

 

(a)            Each of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by the Company qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct at all times prior to and on each Closing Date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and the representations and warranties made by the Company not qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct in all material respects at all times prior to and on each Closing Date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

(d)            The Company shall have obtained all consents, waivers and approvals required to be obtained by such parties in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(h)           At each Closing, the Company shall pay and/or issue to the Placement Agent the Agent Cash Fee and Agent Expense Allowance earned in such Closing.

(a)           Each of the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by the Placement Agent qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct at all times prior to and on each Closing Date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and the representations and warranties made by the Placement Agent not qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct in all material respects at all times prior to and on each Closing Date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

(c)           The Company shall have received a certificate of an officer of the Placement Agent, dated as of the Closing Date, certifying, as to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above.

 

22

 

 

(d)           No order suspending the use of the Memorandum or enjoining the Offering or sale of the Securities shall have been issued, and no proceedings for that purpose or a similar purpose shall have been initiated or pending, or, to the Company’s knowledge, be contemplated or threatened.

 

8.             Indemnification.

 

(a)           The Company will: (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents (including subagents and selected dealers) and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of the Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnitee”) against, and pay or reimburse each Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions or proceedings or investigations in respect thereof), joint or several (which will, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including appeals), to which any Indemnitee may become subject under the Act or otherwise, in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or relate to a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Company herein, regardless of whether such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses shall result from any claim by any Indemnitee or by any third party; and (ii) reimburse each Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, action, proceeding or investigation; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, damage or liability is finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily and directly from (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made in the Memorandum, or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, made solely in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent specifically for use in the Memorandum, (B) any violations by the Placement Agent of the Act, state securities laws or any rules or regulations of FINRA, which does not result from a violation thereof by the Company or any of its affiliates, or (C) the Placement Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. In addition to the foregoing agreement to indemnify and reimburse, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions or proceedings or investigations in respect thereof), joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including appeals) to which any Indemnitee may become subject insofar as such costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon the claim of any person or entity that he or it is entitled to broker’s or finder’s fees from any Indemnitee in connection with the Offering, other than fees due to the Placement Agent. The foregoing indemnity agreements will be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

 

(b)           Aegis will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, and each person, if any, who controls such entity within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against, and pay or reimburse any such person for, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses whatsoever (or actions, proceedings or investigations in respect thereof) to which the Company or any such person may become subject under the Act or otherwise in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities, whether such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses shall result from any claim of the Company or by any third party, but only to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from or as a result of (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Memorandum made in reliance upon and in conformity with information contained in the Memorandum relating to the Placement Agent, or an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in either case, if made or omitted in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Placement Agent, specifically for use in the Memorandum or (ii) any violations by the Placement Agent of the Act or state securities laws which does not result from a violation thereof by the Issuer, the Operating Company or any of their respective affiliates, the Placement Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Placement Agent will reimburse the Company, the Company and any such person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, proceeding or investigation to which such indemnity obligation applies. The foregoing indemnity agreements are in addition to any liability which the Placement Agent may otherwise have. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Placement Agent’s indemnification obligation hereunder exceed the aggregate amount of the Agent Cash Fee actually received by the Placement Agent hereunder.

 

23

 

 

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, claim, proceeding or investigation (the “Action”), such indemnified party, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, will notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 unless the indemnifying party has been substantially prejudiced by such omission. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof subject to the provisions herein stated, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party will have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, provided, however, that if the indemnified party shall be requested by the indemnifying party to participate in the defense thereof or shall have concluded in good faith and specifically notified the indemnifying party either that there may be specific defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that such Action involves or could have a material adverse effect upon it with respect to matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement, then the counsel representing it, to the extent made necessary by such defenses, shall have the right to direct such defenses of such Action on its behalf and in such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in connection with any such participation or defenses shall be paid by the indemnifying party. No settlement of any Action against an indemnified party will be made without the consent of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned in light of all factors of importance to such party, and no indemnifying party shall be liable to indemnify any person for any settlement of any such claim effected without such indemnifying party’s consent.

 

24

 

 

9.             Contribution. To provide for just and equitable contribution, if: (i) an indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8 hereof and it is finally determined, by a judgment, order or decree not subject to further appeal that such claims for indemnification may not be enforced, even though this Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total Agent Cash Fees received by the Placement Agent. The relative fault, in the case of an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission will be determined by, among other things, whether such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Placement Agent, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, alleged statement, omission or alleged omission. The Company and the Placement Agent agree that it would be unjust and inequitable if the respective obligations of the Company and the Placement Agent for contribution were determined by pro rata allocation of the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses or by any other method or allocation that does not reflect the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9. No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 9. Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, no party will be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent. This Section 9 is intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise available.

 

10.           Termination.

 

(a)           The Offering may be terminated by the Placement Agent at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period in the event that: (i) any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein or in the Memorandum shall prove to have been false or misleading in any material respect when actually made; (ii) the Company shall have failed to perform any of its material obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents; (iii) there shall occur any event that could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or (iv) the Placement Agent determines that it is reasonably likely that any of the conditions to Closing set forth herein will not, or cannot, be satisfied. In the event of any such termination by the Placement Agent pursuant to the above, the Placement Agent shall be entitled to retain any Agent Compensation already earned (if any, at such point in time) and receive from the Company, within five (5) business days of the Termination Date, in addition to other rights and remedies it may have hereunder, at law or otherwise, an amount equal the sum of $200,000 if such termination occurs prior to the First Closing (the “Termination Amount”) plus upon presentation of a written accounting in reasonable detail, reimbursement of Placement Agent’s reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses related to the Offering in excess of the $25,000 previously paid, including but not limited to fees and expenses of its legal counsel (not to exceed $75,000) and due diligence related expenditures (the “PA Expense Reimbursement”) and the provisions of Sections 3(d) and 3(e) shall survive in full force and effect.

 

25

 

 

(b)           This Offering may be terminated by the Company at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period on account of the Placement Agent’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. In the event of any such termination pursuant to this Section 10(b), the Placement Agent shall not be entitled to any further compensation pursuant to these termination provisions.

 

(c)           In the event the Company unilaterally decides for any reason (other than pursuant to Section 10(b) above or Section 10(d) below) to terminate the Offering at any time prior to the earlier of the First Closing or the Termination Date (the “Unilateral Termination”), the Placement Agent shall be entitled to receive from the Company within five (5) business days of such termination the sum of $250,000 plus the PA Expense Reimbursement. In addition, if within twelve (12) months after the Unilateral Termination, the Company conducts a public or private offering of its securities, then upon the closing of any such transaction, the Company shall pay the Placement Agent in cash, within five (5) business days of the closing of any such transaction an amount equal to 2% of the gross proceeds from such private or public offering, provided that such percentage shall be the applicable percentages set forth in section 3(d) hereto with respect to any gross proceeds from Tail Investors.

 

(d)           This Offering may be terminated upon mutual agreement of the Company and the Placement Agent, at any time prior to the expiration of the Offering Period. In addition, upon the expiration of the Offering Period, the Offering shall terminate without any further action of the parties hereto. If the Offering is terminated pursuant to this Section 10(d), then in cases in which no Closing had been theretofore consummated, the Company’s sole obligation to the Placement Agent shall be the PA Expense Reimbursement which shall be paid within five (5) business days of such termination.

 

(e)           Before any termination by the Placement Agent under Section 10(a) or by the Company under Section 10(b) shall become effective, the terminating party shall give written notice to the other party of its intention to terminate the Offering, which shall set forth the specific grounds for the proposed termination (the “Termination Notice”). If the specified grounds for termination, or their resulting adverse effect on the transactions contemplated hereby, are curable, then the other party shall have ten (10) days from the Termination Notice within which to remove such grounds or to eliminate all of their material adverse effects on the transactions contemplated hereby; otherwise, the Offering shall terminate.

 

26

 

 

(f)            Upon any termination pursuant to this Section 10, the parties to this Agreement will promptly instruct Escrow Agent to cause all monies received with respect to the subscriptions for Securities not closed upon to be promptly returned to such subscribers without interest, penalty or deduction.

 

11.           Survival.

 

(a)           The obligations of the parties to pay any costs and expenses hereunder and to provide indemnification and contribution as provided herein shall survive any termination hereunder. In addition, the provisions of 8 through 16 shall survive the sale of the Securities or any termination of the Offering hereunder and the provisions of Sections 3(d) and 3(e) shall survive the sale of any of the Securities or any termination of the Offering (other than a termination under Section 10(b).

 

(b)           The respective indemnities, covenants, representations, warranties and other statements of Company and the Placement Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of, and regardless of any access to information by, the Company or the Placement Agent, or any of their respective officers or directors or any controlling person thereof, and will survive the sale of any Securities or any termination of the Offering hereunder for a period of two (2) years from the earlier to occur of the Final Closing or the termination of the Offering.

All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made as of the date delivered personally, or the date mailed if mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like changes of address which shall be effective upon receipt) or sent by facsimile transmission, with confirmation received.
