Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 12, 2010, Luna Innovations Incorporated (“Luna”) entered into a Securities Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Carilion Clinic, a Virginia non-profit, non-stock corporation (“Carilion”), in which Carilion agreed to exchange (the “Exchange”) all outstanding Senior Convertible Promissory Notes of Luna (the “Convertible Notes”) held by Carilion for (i) 1,321,514 newly-issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), and (ii) a warrant (the “New Warrant”) to purchase 356,000 shares of common stock of Luna (“Common Stock”) with an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Luna also agreed to reduce the exercise price to $2.50 per share of an existing warrant to acquire 10,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Existing Warrant,” and together with the New Warrant, the “Warrants”) and to extend the expiration date of such Existing Warrant to December 31, 2020. As of the date of the Exchange, the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes was $5.0 million, and the aggregate balance of accrued interest was $1.2 million. Luna and Carilion consummated the Exchange on January 13, 2010.

In connection with the closing of the Exchange, Luna and Carilion also agreed to amend the existing Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated December 30, 2005, between such parties to, among other things, provide Carilion certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the Warrants (as amended, the “IRA”).

Carilion is a beneficial owner of Luna’s Common Stock, and Edward G. Murphy, M.D. is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of Carilion and is also a director of Luna.

The foregoing descriptions of the Exchange Agreement, the Existing Warrant, the New Warrant, and the IRA (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, respectively, do not purport to be complete, are qualified by the text thereof, and are incorporated herein by reference. The Exchange Agreement, which contains certain representations and warranties by Luna and Carilion, is not intended to provide any other factual information about Luna or Carilion. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Exchange Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Exchange Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Exchange Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Luna or Carilion. Investors should read the Transaction Documents together with all other information that Luna discloses in publicly filed reports and statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

See Item 1.01 above, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a summary of the material terms of the Exchange, including the date of sale and the title and amount of securities sold. The Preferred Stock has a stated value per share of $4.69159 (the “Stated Value”) with an aggregate liquidation preference of all shares of such Preferred Stock equal to $6.2 million upon issuance (the “Liquidation Preference”). Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock of Luna, initially on a one-to-one basis, based on a conversion rate equal to the quotient of the Stated Value divided by a conversion price per share of $4.69159 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to certain customary terms for adjustment, including in the event of any stock splits, consolidations or the like, or the declaration and payment by Luna of stock dividends in respect of the Common Stock. The foregoing terms of conversion are set forth in the Certificate of Designations (as defined in Item 3.03 below). The shares of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration pursuant to Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.


Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On and effective as of January 12, 2010, Luna amended its current Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) upon filing a Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designations”), which sets forth the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock. See Item 1.01 and Item 3.02 above, which are incorporated herein by reference, for a summary of the material terms of the Exchange and of the title, rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock accrues cumulative dividends for each share of Preferred Stock at a rate of six percent (6%) of the Stated Value per annum. Dividends are payable in shares of Common Stock based on the quotient of the aggregate dollar amount of accrued, unpaid dividends, divided by the Conversion Price. The accrual of dividends is subject to termination upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Certificate Designations. Other than certain customary protective provisions, the Preferred Stock does not have voting rights. The Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution shall rank senior to the Common Stock and to any other series of preferred stock established by Luna’s Board of Directors. In the event dividends are declared and paid on the Common Stock (or any other class of capital stock), an equivalent dividend shall be paid on each share of the Preferred Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock have voting and other rights as set forth in Luna’s Certificate of Incorporation. The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designations, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the text thereof and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

See Item 3.02 and Item 3.03 above, which are incorporated herein by reference, with respect to the effective date of the amendment of Luna’s Certificate of Incorporation, and for a description of the material provisions adopted by such amendment pursuant to the filing of the Certificate of Designations to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock.

The Dividend Balance shall be appropriately reduced by the issuance of any Dividend Shares to the Holder. In addition to payment of the foregoing Dividends, in the event dividends are declared and paid on the Common Stock (or any other class of capital stock of the Corporation), an equivalent dividend shall be paid on each share of Series A Preferred Stock.

4. Registration of Issuance and Ownership of Series A Preferred Stock.

The Corporation may deem and treat the registered Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any conversion hereof or any distribution to such Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

5. Registration of Transfers. The Corporation shall register the transfer of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Series A Preferred Stock Register, upon surrender of certificates evidencing such Shares to the Corporation at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.

 

5


6. Liquidation.

(a) In the event of any Liquidation Event, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share in cash equal to the sum of (i) Stated Value for each share of Series A Preferred Stock then held by them, plus (ii) the aggregate dollar amount of all accrued but unpaid Dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of such event (such sum, the “Series A Stock Liquidation Preference”). If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such Holders of the full Series A Stock Liquidation Preference, then the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of the assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the aggregate Series A Stock Liquidation Preference that would otherwise be payable to each of such Holders.

(b) After the Holders have been paid the full Series A Stock Liquidation Preference to which they are entitled, the Holders will have no right or claim to any of the assets or funds of the Corporation, and any remaining assets and funds shall be shares ratably among the holders of Common Stock.

(c) The Corporation shall provide written notice of any Liquidation Event to each record Holder not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the payment date or effective date thereof, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in connection with such notice being provided to the Holders.

(d) In the event that, immediately prior to the closing of a Liquidation Event the cash distributions required by Section 6(a) have not been made, the Corporation shall forthwith either: (i) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as such cash distributions have been made, or (ii) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice by the Corporation delivered pursuant to Section 6(c).

7. Conversion. At the option of any Holder, each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder may be converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate. A Holder may convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph at any time and from time to time after the Original Issue Date, by delivering to the Corporation a conversion notice (the “Conversion Notice”), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, appropriately completed and duly signed, and the date any such Conversion Notice is delivered to the Corporation (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is a “Conversion Date.”

8. Mechanics of Conversion.

(a) The number of Underlying Shares issuable upon any conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall equal the Conversion Rate.

 

6


(b) Upon conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate a certificate for the Underlying Shares issuable upon such conversion. The Holder agrees to the imprinting of a restrictive legend on any such certificate evidencing any of the Underlying Shares, until such time as the Underlying Shares are no longer required to contain such legend or any other legend. Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of the Underlying Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 if the Holder Provides the Corporation with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to the effect that the Underlying Shares can be sold under Rule 144, (iii) if the Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without any volume limitation, or (iv) if the Holder provides the Corporation with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to the effect that the legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Underlying Shares as of the Conversion Date. If the shares are then not required to bear a restrictive legend, the Corporation shall, upon request of the Holder, deliver Underlying Shares hereunder electronically through The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, and shall credit the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System.

(c) A Holder shall deliver the original certificate(s) evidencing the Series A Preferred Stock being converted in connection with the conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock. Upon surrender of a certificate following one or more partial conversions, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new certificate representing the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(d) The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver Underlying Shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by any Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by any Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by any Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to any Holder in connection with the issuance of such Underlying Shares.

9. Certain Adjustments. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock

 

7


(other than Dividends paid pursuant to Section 3 in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock); (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the applicable Conversion Price for Series A Preferred Stock shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes or pays as a dividend to holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (including, without limitation, cash) (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then in each such case the Corporation shall simultaneously deliver to each Holder the Distributed Property that each such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect the number of Underlying Shares then issuable pursuant to Section 7 above had the Holder been the record holder of such Underlying Shares immediately prior to the applicable record or payment date.

(c) Fundamental Transactions. If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, effects any Fundamental Transaction, then upon any subsequent conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it could have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock 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 Corporation shall apportion the Conversion 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 each Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new series of preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Series A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

8


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

(e) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Corporation at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the transactions giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Corporation will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to each Holder and to the Corporation’s Transfer Agent.

(f) Notice of Corporation Events.

The Corporation covenants that it shall at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the number of Underlying Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (taking into account the adjustments of Section 9), free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder. The Corporation covenants that all Underlying Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Corporation covenants that it shall satisfy subparagraph (i) of the Equity Conditions and shall use its best efforts to satisfy each of subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of the Equity Conditions.

The Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, Liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof and will not be subject to preemptive or similar rights of stockholders (other than those imposed by the Investor), and the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Designations. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the conversion of the Preferred Shares.

(f) Capitalization. The approximate aggregate number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and outstanding classes of capital stock, options and other securities of the Company (whether or not presently convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company) as of the date hereof is set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule. All outstanding shares of capital stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable securities laws. Except for Options or Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plans or as set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company did not have outstanding at December 31, 2009 any other Options, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or entered into any agreement giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any Preferred Shares or shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock (other than the Preferred Shares and Warrants). Except as set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule, and except for customary adjustments as a result of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications or other similar events, there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) and the issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue Preferred Shares or shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Investor) and will not result in a right of any holder of securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. To the knowledge of the Company, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports and any Schedules 13D or 13G filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act by reporting persons or as set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule, no Person or group of related Persons beneficially owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the

 

-9-


Exchange Act), or has the right to acquire, by agreement with or by obligation binding upon the Company, beneficial ownership of in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Stock. To the Company’s knowledge and based on (i) the publicly disclosed beneficial ownership of the Investor’s outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of December 29, 2009, which the Company believes to be equal to 2,228,198 shares, (ii) the 1,321,514 shares of Common Stock that will be issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares immediately following the Exchange, (iii) the 366,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, on the one hand, and based upon (i) the total outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of December 29, 2009, which amount was equal to 11,351,967, (ii) the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company’s outstanding options as of December 29, 2009, which amount was equal to 4,603,006 shares as of December 31, 2009, (iii) the 1,321,514 shares of Common Stock that will be issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares immediately following the Exchange, (iv) the 356,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants, and (v) and approximately 1,247,330 shares of Common Stock to be issued to Hansen Medical, Inc in connection with the Plan, on the other hand, the Company believes that the Investor will beneficially own approximately 20.74% of the Company’s Common Stock, on a fully diluted, “as converted” basis immediately following the closing of the Exchange (assuming the accuracy of the foregoing assumptions).

(d) General Solicitation. The Investor is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media, broadcast over television or radio, disseminated over the Internet or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

(e) Experience of the Investor. The Investor, either alone or together with its representatives has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Investor understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment in the Securities indefinitely, and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(f) Access to Information. The Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information (other than material non-public information about the Company) and each Subsidiary and their respective financial

 

-13-


condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. The Investor acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Reports.

(g) No Governmental Review. The Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

(h) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Investor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such that are not material and do not otherwise affect the ability of the Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i) Prohibited Transactions; Confidentiality. Neither the Investor, directly or indirectly, nor Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor, has engaged in any purchases or sales (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving any of the Company’s securities) in the securities, including derivatives, of the Company (a “Transaction”) since the time that the Investor was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding an investment in the Company. The Investor covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage, directly or indirectly, in any Transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

(j) Restricted Securities; Reliance on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and, thus, are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering

 

-14-


and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor further understands that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities.

(k) Legends. It is understood that, except as provided in Section 4.1(b) of this Agreement, certificates evidencing such Securities may bear the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b).

(l) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.

ARTICLE IV

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Investor covenants that the Securities will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its Transfer Agent, without any such legal opinion, except to the extent that the transfer agent requests such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by the Investor to an Affiliate of the Investor, provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and provided that such Affiliate does not request any removal of any existing legends on any certificate evidencing the Securities.

(b) The Investor agrees to the imprinting, until no longer required by this Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing any of the Securities:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR

 

-15-


OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

Certificates evidencing the Preferred Shares and the Warrant Shares shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrant Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the Securities can be sold under Rule 144, (iii) if the Securities are eligible for sale without any volume limitation under Rule 144, or (iv) if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent on the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date and provided the registration statement referred to in clause (i) above is then in effect, or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Securities, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent (if delivery is made to the Transfer Agent a copy shall be contemporaneously delivered to the Company) of (i) a legended certificate representing such Securities (and, in the case of a requested transfer, endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect transfer), and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 4.1(a), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.

(c) The Company will not object to and shall permit (except as prohibited by law) the Investor to pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in connection with a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Company will not object to and shall permit (except as prohibited by law) the Investor to transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Except as required by law, such a pledge or

 

-16-


transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company, no legal opinion of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith (but such legal opinion shall be required in connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge), and no notice shall be required of such pledge. The Investor acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Securities or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between the Investor and any pledgee or secured party. At the Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Provided that the Company is in compliance with the terms of this Section 4.1(c), the Company’s indemnification obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall not extend to any Proceeding or Losses arising out of or related to this Section 4.1(c).

4.2 Furnishing of Information. Until the date that the Investor owning Preferred Shares or Warrant Shares may sell all of them without any volume limitation under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.

4.3 Integration. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate thereof shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investor or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

4.4 Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized capital stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations to issue such Securities under the Transaction Documents. In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company to satisfy its obligations to issue such Securities under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.

4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall issue a press release disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the Transaction Documents and the form of Warrants, in the form required by the Exchange Act. Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the SEC or applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the Investor promptly after filing. Except as herein provided, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall publicly disclose the name of the Investor, or include the name of the

 

-17-


Investor in any press release without the prior written consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless otherwise required by law, regulatory authority or Trading Market. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, nor shall any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, provide the Investor with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary from and after the issuance of the above referenced press release without the express written consent of the Investor.

4.6 Listing Approval. The Company covenants to use Best Efforts to obtain qualification and approval by the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC of all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and any other Trading Market upon which the Company’s Common Stock is listed and is publicly traded.

4.7 Extension of Property Lease. The Company shall enter into an extension of the existing Amended Lease, dated July 20, 2006, by and between Carilion Medical Center and the Company (the “Property Lease”) on customary and reasonable terms that are mutually acceptable to the Company and the Investor. The extension of the term of the Property Lease shall be through December 31, 2015 with all terms consistent with existing terms and conditions, except that the Company agrees to waive Section 2A “Tenant’s Right to Terminate the Lease.” The Company and Investor shall execute such extension of the Property Lease no later than March 31, 2010.

6.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Investor and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents.

6.16 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

No. CW-1    January 13, 2010

Void After 5 P.M. Eastern Time on December 31, 2020

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Carilion Clinic, formerly known as Carilion Health System, or assigns, with its principal office at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, First Floor, 1906 Belleview Ave., Roanoke, Virginia 24033 (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 1 Riverside Circle, Suite 400, Roanoke, Virginia 24016 (the “Company”) up to that number of the Exercise Shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) determined in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and the attachments hereto (the “Warrant”).

1. DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

(a) Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on December 31, 2012 and continuing for eight (8) years thereafter.

(b) Exercise Price” shall mean $2.50 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.

(c) Exercise Shares” shall mean the 10,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms herein, including but not limited to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

2.1 Procedure. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”);


(b) Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash, by wire transfer or by check, (ii) by cancellation of indebtedness, or (iii) by net exercise in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof; and

(c) This Warrant.

Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised, and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised.

The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

2.2 Net Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly completed and endorsed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

  X    =    Y (A-B)
             A
Where   X    =    the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder
  Y    =    the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

 

2


  A    =    the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
  B    =    Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall mean the average of the closing bid and asked prices of Common Stock quoted in the over-the-counter market in which the Common Stock is traded or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date on which this Warrant is surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price has been paid (or such shorter period of time during which such stock was traded over-the-counter or on such exchange). If the Common Stock is not traded on the over-the-counter market or on an exchange, the fair market value shall be the price per share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Common Stock sold by the Company from authorized but unissued shares, as such price shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees that all the Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

4. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.

4.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or the Exercise Shares or any part thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Warrant and the Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its account only.

4.2 Securities Are Not Registered.

(a) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.

 

3


(c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations.

4.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.

(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or the Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:

(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement;

(ii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or the Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws; or

(iii) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition.

(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A

 

4


BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE.

(a) Stock Splits, Combinations, etc. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of the Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a) shall similarly apply to successive stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like and to the stock or securities of any other entity that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall occur (i) the sale, conveyance, exchange, license or other transfer of all or substantially all of the intellectual property or assets of the Company, (ii) any acquisition of the Company by means of a consolidation, stock exchange, merger or other form of corporate reorganization of the Company with any other corporation in which the Company’s stockholders prior to the consolidation or merger own less than a majority of the voting securities of the surviving entity or (iii) any transaction or series of related transactions following which the Company’s stockholders prior to such transaction or series of related transactions own less than a majority of the voting securities of the Company (collectively, a “Change of Control”), this Warrant shall cease to represent the right to receive the Exercise Shares and shall automatically and without further action represent the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property offered to the Company’s holders of Common Stock in connection with such Change of Control that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such Change of Control if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such Change of Control, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 5. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other entity that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to the holder hereof in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of

 

5


this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

7. NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. The Company shall provide to the Holder at least five (5) days advance written notice of any event that would result in an adjustment to the Exercise Shares or Exercise Price pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

8. MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT. In connection with any public offering of securities of the Company registered under the Act, the Holder hereby agrees not to sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or any other securities of the Company) held by the Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act in connection with such offering (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto). The Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter that are consistent with the Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or any other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the market stand-off day period.

9. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

10. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by the Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.

11. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity

 

6


or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

12. NOTICES, ETC. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company or to the Holder at their respective addresses set forth above or at such other address as the Company or the Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

13. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

14. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Y   =   the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

 

2


A   =   the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)
B   =   Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall mean the average of the closing bid and asked prices of Common Stock quoted in the over-the-counter market in which the Common Stock is traded or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date on which this Warrant is surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price has been paid (or such shorter period of time during which such stock was traded over-the-counter or on such exchange). If the Common Stock is not traded on the over-the-counter market or on an exchange, the fair market value shall be the price per share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Common Stock sold by the Company from authorized but unissued shares, as such price shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees that all the Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

4. REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.

4.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or the Exercise Shares or any part thereof. The Holder also represents that the entire legal and beneficial interests of the Warrant and the Exercise Shares the Holder is acquiring is being acquired for, and will be held for, its account only.

4.2 Securities Are Not Registered.

(a) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.

 

3


(c) The Holder is aware that neither the Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations.

4.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.

(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or the Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:

(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement;

(ii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or the Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws; or

(iii) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition.

(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A

 

4


BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE.

(a) Stock Splits, Combinations, etc. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of the Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a) shall similarly apply to successive stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like and to the stock or securities of any other entity that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time while this Warrant, or any portion hereof, is outstanding and unexpired there shall occur (i) the sale, conveyance, exchange, license or other transfer of all or substantially all of the intellectual property or assets of the Company, (ii) any acquisition of the Company by means of a consolidation, stock exchange, merger or other form of corporate reorganization of the Company with any other corporation in which the Company’s stockholders prior to the consolidation or merger own less than a majority of the voting securities of the surviving entity or (iii) any transaction or series of related transactions following which the Company’s stockholders prior to such transaction or series of related transactions own less than a majority of the voting securities of the Company (collectively, a “Change of Control”), this Warrant shall cease to represent the right to receive the Exercise Shares and shall automatically and without further action represent the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property offered to the Company’s holders of Common Stock in connection with such Change of Control that a holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such Change of Control if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such Change of Control, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 5. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other entity that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. If the per share consideration payable to the holder hereof in connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable securities, then the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of

 

5


this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

7. NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. The Company shall provide to the Holder at least five (5) days advance written notice of any event that would result in an adjustment to the Exercise Shares or Exercise Price pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

8. MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT. In connection with any public offering of securities of the Company registered under the Act, the Holder hereby agrees not to sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or any other securities of the Company) held by the Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act in connection with such offering (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto). The Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter that are consistent with the Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or any other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the market stand-off day period.

9. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

10. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by the Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Warrant.

 

6


11. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

12. NOTICES, ETC. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company or to the Holder at their respective addresses set forth above or at such other address as the Company or the Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

13. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

14. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

15. AMENDMENT. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived with the written consent of the Company and Holder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of January 13, 2010.

Registration Rights

(a) Request for Registration. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.1, if the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders a written request signed by such Initiating Holders that the Company effect any registration with respect to Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Holders, provided such request states the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Initiating Holders, the Company will:

(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and

(ii) file and use its Best Efforts to effect such registration within ninety (90) days of such written request from the Initiating Holders (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue-sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) and to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in

 

4


such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered.

(b) Limitations on Requested Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.1:

(i) If the Initiating Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration statement, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) the aggregate proceeds of which (after deduction for underwriter’s discounts and expenses related to the issuance) are less than $500,000;

(ii) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(iii) After the Company has initiated two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1; or

(iv) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities which may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made under Section 2.3 hereof.

(c) Deferral. If (i) in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), the filing of a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities would be detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and (ii) the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement, then (in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(b) above) the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, and, provided further, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve-month period.

(d) Other Shares. The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e), include Other Shares, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.

(e) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.1 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to include all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in such

registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in an underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein. If the Company shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 of securities being sold for its own account, or if other persons shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon the participation of the Company or such other persons in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Company’s and such person’s other securities of the Company and their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 2. The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated in the following order of priority: first, to the Investor; second, to any other Initiating Holders; third, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; fourth, to the Major Stockholder, and fifth, to any other Holders that have requested inclusion of their shares in the underwriting on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the Initiating Holders included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the any of the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall the amount of Registrable Securities of the Investor to be included in such underwriting be reduced until all Registrable Securities held by the Major Stockholder, by the other Holders and by any Other Selling Stockholders have been first excluded from the underwriting in their entirety. In no event will shares of any Other Selling Stockholder be included in such registration without the written consent of the Initiating Holder(s) if such inclusion would reduce the number of shares that may be included by the Initiating Holders.

If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Holders. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), then the Company shall then offer to all Holders and Other Selling Stockholders who have retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities or Other Shares in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders and Other Selling Stockholders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth above.

2.2 Company Registration.

(a) Company Registration. If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.3, a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:

(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all Holders; and

(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue-sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 2.2(b) below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Holder or Holders received by the Company within ten (10) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities.

(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company, the Other Selling Stockholders and the other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriters advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) exclude all Registrable Securities from, or limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following order of priority: first, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; second, to the Investor; third, to the Major Stockholder; and fourth, to any other Holders that have requested inclusion of their shares in the underwriting on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the Holders included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the any of the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall the amount of Registrable Securities of the Investor to be included in such underwriting be reduced until all Registrable Securities held by the Major Stockholder, by the other Holders and by any Other Selling Stockholders have been first excluded from the underwriting in their entirety.

 

7


If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall also be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter. The Registrable Securities or other securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

2.3 Registration on Form S-3.

(a) Request for Form S-3 Registration. At any time after the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2 and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.3, if the Company shall receive from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request that the Company effect any registration on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement with respect to all or part of the Registrable Securities (such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders), the Company will take all such action with respect to such Registrable Securities as required by Section 2.1(a)(i) and (ii); provided, further that the Company shall keep such registrations effective until the earlier to occur of such time as (i) all Registrable Securities registered thereunder have been sold, (ii) the Holders whose shares are registered thereon agree to terminate the registration, or (iii) the registration rights of all such Holders terminate.

(b) Limitations on Form S-3 Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3:

(i) In the circumstances described in either Sections 2.1(b)(i) or 2.1(b)(iv);

(ii) If the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000; or

(iii) In a given twelve-month period if, during such period, the Company has already effected one (1) or more registrations pursuant to this Section 2.3.

(c) Deferral. The provisions of Section 2.1(c) shall apply to any registration pursuant to this Section 2.3.

(d) Underwriting. If the Holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration under this Section 2.3 intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, the provisions of Sections 2.1(e) shall apply to such

 

8


registration. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as requests for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.

2.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 hereof shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the holders of securities included in such registration pro rata among each other on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so registered.

2.5 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to Section 2, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) Keep such registration effective for a period of ending on the earlier of the date which is sixty (60) days from the effective date of the registration statement or such time as the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto;

(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in subsection (a) above;

(c) Furnish such number of prospectuses, including any preliminary prospectuses, and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;

(d) Use its reasonable Best Efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdiction as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(e) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing, and following such notification promptly prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus 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 not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing;

 

9


(f) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and

(h) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, enter into an underwriting agreement in form reasonably necessary to effect the offer and sale of Common Stock, provided such underwriting agreement contains reasonable and customary provisions, and provided, further, that each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

2.6 Indemnification.

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification, or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 2, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any offering covered by such registration, qualification, or compliance, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter, and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action is caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by (a) such Holder, or (b) any of such Holder’s officers, directors, partners, legal counsel or accountants, and any person controlling such Holder, such underwriter or any person who controls any such underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein; and provided, further that, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

10


(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, severally and not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification, or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, and each of their officers, directors, and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) caused by: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.6 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; and provided, further 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 2.6, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

11


(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 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, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2, and otherwise.

2.7 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Section 2.

2.8 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) The holder of each certificate representing Registrable Securities by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 2.8. Each Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Restricted Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until (x) the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Restricted Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 2.8, except for transfers permitted under Section 2.8(b), and (y):

(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(ii) Such Holder shall have given prior written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to make such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition, and, if

 

12


requested by the Company, such Holder shall have furnished the Company, at its expense, with (i) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Restricted Securities under the Securities Act (it being understood that an opinion of Woods Rogers PLC shall be deemed satisfactory with respect to Carilion or any permitted transferee of Registrable Securities held by Carilion) or (ii) a “no action” letter from the Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144, except in unusual circumstances.

(b) Permitted transfers include (i) a transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership, or (ii) in transactions involving the distribution without consideration of Restricted Securities by any Holder to (x) a parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of Holder that is a corporation, or (y) any of its partners, members or other equity owners, or retired partners, retired members or other equity owners, or to the estate of any of its partners, members or other equity owners or retired partners, retired members or other equity owners, or (iii) transfers in compliance with Rule 144, as long as the Company is furnished with satisfactory evidence of compliance with such rule including, if requested, an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided, in each case, that the Holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition.

(c) Each certificate representing Registrable Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN

 

13


WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 2.8.

(d) The first legend referring to federal and state securities laws identified in Section 2.8(c) hereof stamped on a certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities and the stock transfer instructions and record notations with respect to such Restricted Securities shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Restricted Securities if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances, which may, at the option of the Company, include an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, that such securities can be sold freely without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

2.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(a) Make and keep public information regarding the Company available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times;

(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

2.10 Intentionally Omitted.

2.11 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to take any action to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

2.12 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder by the Company under this Section 2 may be transferred or assigned by a Holder only to a transferee or assignee (a) of not less than 750,000 of the Registrable Securities (as presently constituted and subject to subsequent adjustments for stock

 

14


splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, and the like), (b) that is a partner or retired partner of any Holder that is a partnership, (c) that is a member or former member of any Holder that is a limited liability company, (d) that is an affiliate of any Holder or (e) that is a family member or trust for the benefit of any individual Holder, provided, that (i) such transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities is effected in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8 hereof and applicable securities laws, (ii) the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement, and (iii) with respect to a proposed transfer pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Company is given written notice within 30 days after said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are intended to be transferred or assigned and such transferee is not, in the Company’s reasonable opinion, a competitor of the Company or a party who is demonstrably hostile toward the Company.

2.13 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are pari passu with or senior to the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder.

2.14 Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 shall terminate on such date as all of the Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder may immediately transferred or sold without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
