Item 1.01. Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement

 

On August 7, 2019, Stereotaxis, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and other accredited investors (the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Company, in a private placement, agreed to issue and sell to the Investors an aggregate of 6,585,000 shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $2.05 per share and 5,610,121 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), at a price of $2.05 per share (the “Private Placement”). The Series B Preferred Stock, which is a Common Stock equivalent but non-voting and with a blocker on conversion if the holder would exceed a specified threshold of beneficial ownership, is convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for events such as stock splits, combinations and the like as provided in the Certificate of Designation (as defined in Item 3.03 below).

 

Cowen and Company, LLC acted as the sole placement agent for the Private Placement.

 

The Private Placement closed on August 7, 2019. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $23.1 million, after offering expenses. The Company plans to use the funds for general corporate purposes.

 

In connection with the parties’ entry into the Purchase Agreement, on August 7, 2019, the Company and the Buyers entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement with respect to the resale of the Common Shares and the Conversion Shares not later than 45 calendar days following the closing, and to use its best efforts to cause such resale registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the later of sixty (60) days after the initial filing date and ninety (90) days after the closing. If and to the extent the Company is unable to timely satisfy such deadlines or otherwise maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be required to pay, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price of the registrable securities required to be included in a registration statement, calculated in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. If the Company fails to timely make such payments, such payments will accrue interest at a rate of 1.0% per month.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

 

   
   

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

Pursuant to the Private Placement described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which description is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference, on August 7, 2019, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Common Shares and the Series B Preferred Stock to “accredited investors” as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506(b)) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws. Accordingly, none of the securities to be issued in the Private Placement, including the Conversion Shares, will have been registered under the Securities Act as of the closing date of the Private Placement, and until registered, these securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

 

In connection with the Private Placement, on August 7, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing and designating the rights, powers and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company designated up to 5,610,121 shares of Series B Preferred Stock $0.001 par value per share. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder thereof on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for events such as stock splits, combinations and the like as provided in the Certificate of Designation, subject to a blocker provision on conversion if the holder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, would exceed 9.99% of beneficial ownership (which percentage may subsequently be increased or decreased to any other percentage at the holder’s election on 61 days’ notice). The Series B Preferred Stock will have the right to receive dividends, simultaneously with payment of dividends to Common Stock, on an as-if-converted basis (without regard to the beneficial ownership limitation). The Series B Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except as required by law, as modified by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, pari passu with any distribution to the holders of Common Stock, an amount equal to $0.001 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus an additional amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, before any payments shall be made or any assets distributed to holders of any class of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks on parity with all Common Stock and with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock; senior to any class or series of capital stock hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms junior to the Series B Stock; and junior to any class or series of capital stock hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series B Stock.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Certificate of Designation, which is incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.

 

   
   

 

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

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On August 8, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Private Placement. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

 3 
  

 

(b) The Corporation shall register shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, upon records maintained by the Corporation (the “Series B Preferred Stock Register”), reflecting the current name of the Holders. The Corporation may deem and treat the registered Holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as the absolute owner of the shares for the purpose of any conversion thereof and for all other purposes. The Corporation shall register the transfer of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred Stock Register upon surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares to be transferred, duly endorsed by the Holder, to the Corporation at its address specified herein, or such other address as subsequently provided by the Corporation. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder, in each case, within three (3) Business Days. The provisions of this Certificate of Designation are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time and shall be enforceable by any Holder.

 

Section 3. Dividends. Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, dividends on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis, without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) to and in the same form, and in the same manner, as dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock, which shall be made in accordance with Section 7(a)) actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock, which shall be made in accordance with Section 7(a)) are paid on shares of the Common Stock. Other than as set forth in the previous sentence, no other dividends shall be paid on shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and the Corporation shall pay no dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock) on shares of the Common Stock unless it simultaneously complies with the previous sentence.

 

Section 4. Voting Rights; Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Certificate of Incorporation, or as otherwise required by the DGCL, the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, (a) (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, or (iii) amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, or file any articles of amendment or certificate of designations of preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change the powers, preferences or rights of the Series B Preferred Stock in a manner materially different than the effect of such actions on the Common Stock (regardless, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), of whether any of the foregoing actions shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise), (b) issue further shares of Series B Preferred Stock or increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock or (c) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 5. Rank; Liquidation.

 

(a) The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms junior to any Series B Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); (ii) on parity with the Common Stock and with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Parity Securities”); and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to any Series B Preferred Stock (“Senior Securities”), in each case, as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (all such distributions being referred to collectively as “Distributions”).

 

(b) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any Senior Securities of the Corporation, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in preference to any distributions of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Junior Securities and pari passu with any distribution to the holders of Parity Securities, an amount equal to $0.001 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus an additional amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, before any payments shall be made or any assets distributed to holders of any class of Junior Securities. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock the amount required under the preceding sentence, then all remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably to holders of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Securities in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

Section 6. Conversion.

 

(a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Issuance Date, at the option of the Holder, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with a notice in the form of Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), duly completed and executed. Other than a conversion following a Fundamental Transaction or following a notice provided for under Section 7(d)(ii) hereof, the Notice of Conversion must specify at least a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted equal to the lesser of (x) 100 shares (such number subject to appropriate adjustment following the occurrence of an event specified in Section 7(a) hereof) and (y) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then held by the Holder. Provided the Corporation’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Notice of Conversion may specify, at the Holder’s election, whether the applicable Conversion Shares shall be credited to the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (a “DWAC Delivery”). The “Conversion Date”, or the date on which a conversion shall be deemed effective, shall be defined as the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is received by the Corporation when sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier to the Corporation or by electronic mail to 2019PrivatePlacementNotice@stereotaxis.com, and received during regular business hours; provided that the original certificate(s) (if applicable) representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation within two (2) Trading Days thereafter. In all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be defined as the Trading Day on which the original share certificate(s) (if applicable) of Series B Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation. The calculations set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.

 

 5 
  

 

(b) Conversion Ratio. The “Conversion Ratio” for each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Stated Value divided by the Conversion Price.

 

(c) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted conversion set forth on an applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and its Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Attribution Parties that, in the case of both (A) and (B), are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. In addition, for purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation that is filed with the Commission, or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the written request of a Holder (which may be by email), the Corporation shall, within three (3) Trading Days thereof, confirm in writing to such Holder (which may be via email) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series B Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Holder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Notice of Conversion (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section 6(c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Corporation, which will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, the Holder may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage to a higher or lower percentage. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further amended by such Holder without first providing the minimum 61-day notice required by this Section 6(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following notice of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below), the Holder may waive and/or change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation and may reinstitute a Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time thereafter effective immediately upon written notice to the Corporation. The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by the Holder in any Notice of Conversion regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the determination as to whether the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible and of which portion of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible shall be made in the sole discretion of the Holder and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

(d) Mechanics of Conversion

 

(i) Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date, or if the Holder requests the issuance of physical certificate(s), two (2) Trading Days after receipt by the Corporation of both the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall (a) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or (b) in the case of a DWAC Delivery shall instruct its transfer agent to approve the DWAC request initiated by the Holder’s broker no later than three trading days after the conversion date. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by, the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Notice of Conversion by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates for Conversion Shares or electronic receipt of such shares, as applicable, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any original Series B Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation any Common Stock certificates or otherwise direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation.

 

(ii) Obligation Absolute. Subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with these terms are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a 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 such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, in the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series B Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained by the Corporation, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the value of the Conversion Shares into which would be converted the Series B Preferred Stock which is subject to such injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall, subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such certificate or certificates, or electronically deliver (or cause its transfer agent to electronically deliver) such shares in the case of a DWAC Delivery, pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) on or prior to the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Corporation or failure of the Holder or Holder’s broker to properly initiate the DWAC on the Conversion Date), then, unless the Holder has rescinded the applicable Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, the Corporation shall pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to such Holder an amount payable, at the Holder’s option, either (a) in cash or (b) to the extent that it would not cause the Holder or its Attribution Parties to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, in shares of Common Stock that are valued for these purposes at the Closing Sale Price on the date of such calculation, in each case equal to the product of (x) the number of Conversion Shares required to have been issued by the Corporation on such Share Delivery Date, (y) an amount equal to the Daily Failure Amount and (z) the number of Trading Days actually lapsed after such fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date during which such certificates have not been delivered, or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares have not been electronically delivered; provided, however, the Holder shall only receive up to such amount of shares of Common Stock such that Holder and its Attribution Parties and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief; provided that Holder shall not receive duplicate damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(iii) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates or to effect a DWAC Delivery, as applicable, by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Corporation or failure of the Holder or the Holder’s broker to properly initiate the DWAC on the Conversion Date), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(d)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice, within three (3) Trading Days after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of such Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require the reissuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock submitted for conversion for which such conversion was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(d)(i).

 

 8 
  

 

(iv) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances and, if the Conversion Shares Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Conversion Shares Registration Statement (subject to such Holder’s compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement).

 

(v) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.

 

(vi) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

(e) Status as Stockholder. Upon each Conversion Date, (i) the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while this Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of this Series B Preferred Stock) with respect to the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

 

 9 
  

 

(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than such a transaction in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its Common Stock is not exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property), (ii) the Corporation directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which more than 50% of the Common Stock not held by the Corporation or such Person is exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property, (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered by Section 7(a) above) pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Corporation, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination and excluding shares acquired upon conversion of any currently outstanding convertible securities in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect on the date hereof) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, as of the effective date and time of the Fundamental Transaction (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be canceled without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the Holder thereof, and in consideration for such cancellation, each Holder shall automatically receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon conversion of such cancelled shares of Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property receivable upon the effectiveness of the Fundamental Transaction (“Exchange Property”) as it would 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”); provided, however, if the Fundamental Transaction is not of a type that results in the Common Stock being exchanged for other securities, cash or property, then the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be cancelled as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and shall remain outstanding. The amount of Exchange Property receivable upon any Fundamental Transaction shall be determined based upon the Conversion Ratio in effect at such Effective Time. Upon the cancellation of any Series B Preferred Stock as of the Effective Time, the Holder’s rights as a holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive the Exchange Property to which the Holder is then entitled and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. Should any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding after a Fundamental Transaction, for purposes of any such subsequent conversion, the determination of the Conversion Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration, if any, based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall adjust the Conversion Ratio in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction should such shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding after such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions should any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding after a Fundamental Transaction, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new 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 to which the Corporation is a party and 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 Section 7(b) and ensuring that this Series B Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Holder, at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, written notice of any Fundamental Transaction at least 10 Business Days prior to the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or close, which notice shall state the kind and amount of cash, securities or property that constitute the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 7. The Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Fundamental Transaction that would interfere with or prevent (as applicable) the treatment of the Series B Preferred Stock in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 7.

 

 10 
  

 

(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

 

(d) Notice to the Holders.

 

(i) Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii) Other Notices. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series B Preferred Stock, and, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information, shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

 

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, via email or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at 4320 Forest Park Avenue, Suite 100, St. Louis, MO 63108, email to 2019PrivatePlacementNotice@stereotaxis.com, or such other email address or mailing address as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section.

 11 
  

 

(b) Lost or Mutilated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate. If a Holder’s Series B Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and, in each case, customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a new certificate under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Corporation may prescribe.

 

(c) Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein and any right of the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series B Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, unless a higher percentage is required by the DGCL, in which case the written consent of the Holders of not less than such higher percentage shall be required.

 

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

 

(e) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

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

 

(g) Status of Converted Series B Preferred Stock.

Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, with respect to only itself, to the Company and the Placement Agent that:

 

a. Investment Purpose. Such Buyer is acquiring the Securities hereunder for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution, except pursuant to sales registered under, or exempted from, the registration requirements of the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company.

Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property, or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated by the Transactions Documents, or on the Transactions Documents (including the legality, validity or enforceability thereof), or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or (ii) the rights and remedies of any of the Buyers under the Transaction Documents. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company holds all right, title and interest in and to 100% of the capital stock, equity or similar interests of each of the Subsidiaries, in each case, free and clear of any Liens (as defined below), including any restriction on the use, voting, transfer, receipt of income or other exercise of any attributes of free and clear ownership by a current holder, and no such Subsidiary owns capital stock or holds an equity or similar interest in any other Person. For purposes of this Agreement, “Lien” means, with respect to any asset, any mortgage, lien, pledge, hypothecation, charge, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim of any kind or any restrictive covenant, condition, restriction or exception of any kind that has the practical effect of creating a mortgage, lien, pledge, hypothecation, charge, security interest, encumbrance or adverse claim of any kind; and “Subsidiary” means any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns any of the outstanding capital stock, equity or similar interests or voting power of such entity at the time of this Agreement or at any time hereafter, whether directly or through any other Subsidiary.

The Company has made available to the Buyers or their respective representatives, or filed and made publicly available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (or successor thereto) (“EDGAR”) no less than two (2) days prior to the date this representation is made, true and complete copies of the SEC Documents. Each of the SEC Documents was filed with the SEC within the time frames prescribed by the SEC for the filing of such SEC Documents such that each filing was timely filed with the SEC. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents. None of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the filing of the SEC Documents, no event has occurred that would require an amendment or supplement to any of the SEC Documents and as to which such an amendment has not been filed and made publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system no less than two (2) days prior to the date this representation is made. The Company has not received any written comments from the SEC staff that have not been resolved to the satisfaction of the SEC staff.

 

(ii) As of their respective dates, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements for periods subsequent to December 31, 2018, to normal year-end audit adjustments that are described on Schedule 3.f or that are not material individually or in the aggregate). None of the Company, the Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any stockholder of the Company has made any filing with the SEC (other than the SEC Documents), issued any press release or made, distributed, paid for or approved (or engaged any other Person to make or distribute) any other public statement, report, advertisement or communication on behalf of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits any statement of material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made, not misleading or has provided any other information to the Buyers, including information referred to in Section 2.d, that contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, with respect to written information, omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made, not misleading. The Company is not required to file and will not be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered into prior to the date this representation is made and to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is bound that has not been previously filed as an exhibit (including by way of incorporation by reference) to the Company’s reports filed or made with the SEC under the 1934 Act. To the Company’s Knowledge, the accounting firm that expressed its opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, and reviewed the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s most recently filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q, was independent of the Company pursuant to the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and as required by the applicable rules and guidance from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and such firm was otherwise qualified to render such opinion under applicable law and the rules and regulations of the SEC. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Company and an unconsolidated or other off-balance-sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports pursuant to the 1934 Act that has not been so disclosed in the SEC Documents.

(iii) The Company is in all material respects in compliance with applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, “Sarbanes-Oxley”).

 

(iv) Since December 31, 2017, except as set forth on Schedule 3.f, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any director, officer or employee, of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, has received or otherwise obtained any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or its internal accounting controls, including any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices.

Since December 31, 2017, there have been no internal or SEC investigations regarding accounting or revenue recognition discussed with, reviewed by or initiated at the direction of the chief executive officer, principal financial officer, the Company Board or any committee thereof. The Company is not, and never has been, a “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the 1934 Act).

 

(v) As used in this Agreement, the “Company’s Knowledge” and similar language means, unless otherwise specified, the actual knowledge of any “officer” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the 1934 Act) of the Company, including David L. Fischel and Martin C. Stammer, and the knowledge any such Person would be expected to have after reasonable due diligence inquiry.

 

g. Internal Accounting Controls; Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls that comply with applicable securities laws and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including, but not limited to, internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liability is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences and the interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language incorporated by reference in the SEC Filings is accurate (“Internal Controls”). The Internal Controls are overseen by the Audit Committee of the Company Board. The Company has timely filed and made publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system no less than two (2) days prior to the date this representation is made, and all certifications and statements required by (A) Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the 1934 Act and (B) Section 906 of Sarbanes Oxley with respect to any SEC Documents. The Company has not publicly disclosed or reported to the Audit Committee or the Company Board, and within the next 90 days the Company does not reasonably expect to publicly disclose or report to the Audit Committee or the Company Board, a significant deficiency, material weakness, adverse change in Internal Controls or fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in Internal Controls, any violation of, or failure to comply with, applicable securities laws, or any matter which, if determined adversely, would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the 1934 Act; such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files with or submits to the SEC (X) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (Y) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the 1934 Act; such internal control over financial reporting is effective and does not contain any material weaknesses.

Unless required by applicable law or a rule of the Principal Market, the Company shall not make any public announcement regarding the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Transaction Documents prior to the Closing Date. The Company confirms that, following the filing of the Announcing Form 8-K, no Buyer will be deemed to be in possession of material non-public information concerning the Company (to the extent that such information was provided by the Company prior to the filing of such Form 8-K). The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents to not, provide any Buyer with any material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the Announcing Form 8-K with the SEC without the express prior written consent of such Buyer, unless prior thereto such Buyer shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.

Upon receipt or delivery by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of any notice in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or the Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, non-public information.

Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries, nor any Affiliates of the foregoing or any Person acting on the behalf of any of the foregoing, shall, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security or solicit any offers to purchase any security, under any circumstances that would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or require stockholder approval of the issuance of any of the Securities.

In the event that the Company Board determines that such listing is so advisable, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure the listing of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) on such National Exchange as promptly as practicable. Following any such listing, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such listing of all Registrable Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents; provided, that, in no event shall the Company take any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Following such listing, none of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock from the National Exchange. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 4.g.

In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, officers, directors, members, managers, employees, affiliates of, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act) such Buyer and the stockholders, partners, officers, directors, members, managers, employees and affiliates of such controlling Persons and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitees is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs of investigating, preparing or defending (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitees as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitees and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby in accordance with the terms thereof (other than a cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against an Indemnitee by such Indemnitee’s owners, investors or affiliates). To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

 

b. Indemnification Procedures. Each Indemnitee shall (i) give prompt written notice to the Company of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement (provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnitee to promptly deliver such notice shall not relieve the Company of any liability, except to the extent that the Company is prejudiced in its ability to defend such claim) and (ii) permit the Company to assume the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that any Indemnitee entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (A) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the Company shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within five (5) days of delivery of the written notice of the Indemnitee with respect to such claim or failed to employ counsel selected by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, or (C) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnitee and the Company with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of the Indemnitee). If the Company assumes the defense of the claim, it shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement or compromise made by the Indemnitee without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In connection with any settlement negotiated by the Company, the Company shall not, and no Indemnitee shall be required by the Company to, (I) enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, (II) enter into any settlement that attributes by its terms any liability, culpability or fault to the Indemnitee, or (III) consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as a term thereof a full dismissal of the litigation or proceeding with prejudice. In addition, without the consent of the Indemnitee, the Company shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which provides for any obligation or restriction on the part of the Indemnitee other than the payment of money damages which are to be paid in full by the Company. If the Company fails or elects not to assume the defense of a claim pursuant to clause (B) above, or is not entitled to assume or continue the defense of such claim pursuant to clause (C) above, the Indemnitee shall have the right without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder to, in its discretion exercised in good faith and upon advice of counsel, to contest, defend and litigate such claim and may settle such claim, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnitee deems fair and reasonable; provided that, at least five (5) days prior to any settlement, written notice of such Indemnitee’s intention to settle is given to the Company. If requested by the Company, the Indemnitee agrees (at no expense to the Indemnitee) to reasonably cooperate with the Company and its counsel in contesting any claim that the Company elects to contest.

8. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.

 

a. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

b. Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party. A PDF or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties hereto by e-mail or other electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered legal, valid, binding and effective for all purposes. The parties hereto hereby agree that no party shall raise the execution of a PDF or other reproduction of this Agreement, or the fact that any signature or document was transmitted or communicated by e-mail or other electronic transmission device, as a defense to the formation of this Agreement.

 

c. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

 

d. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

e. Entire Agreement; Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements among each Buyer, the Company and the Subsidiaries, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered herein and therein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by (i) the Company, (ii) the holders of at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding Securities, or if prior to the Closing, by the Buyers listed on the Schedule of Buyers as being obligated to purchase at least a majority in interest of the Securities (in either case, the “Required Buyers”) and (iii) Redmile Group, LLC, but only to the extent that the Required Buyers are not funds, accounts or entities managed by Redmile Group, LLC or any of its Affiliates. Any such amendment shall bind all holders of the Securities; provided that any such amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Buyer relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Buyers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Buyer (for the avoidance of doubt, participation by any Buyer in an unrelated financing by the Company shall not be deemed to disproportionately affect the Buyers who do not participate in such financing). No failure or delay on the part of a party in either exercising or enforcing any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of, or impair, any such right. No single or partial exercise or enforcement of any such right shall preclude any other or further exercise or enforcement thereof or the exercise or enforcement of any other right. No waiver of any such right shall be deemed a waiver of any other right. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification or supplement of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties hereto or to the other Transaction Documents or holders of the Securities, as the case may be. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Buyer and is not intended for the Company to treat the Buyers as a class and shall not be construed in any way as the Buyers acting in concert or otherwise as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities or otherwise.

 

 26 
 

 

f. Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered upon receipt, when delivered personally or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication; (B) provided by affidavit of personal delivery by a delivery service selected by the Company; or (C) provided by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service or deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service.

 

g. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Securities. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of (i) the Required Buyers and (ii) Redmile Group, LLC, but only to the extent that the Required Buyers are not funds, accounts or entities managed by Redmile Group, LLC or any of its Affiliates. A Buyer may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer some or all of its rights hereunder to any Person to whom such Buyer assigns or transfers any Securities without the consent of the Company; provided, that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Buyers.” The Schedule of Buyers attached hereto shall be updated to reflect the information with respect to such transferee, designee or assignee.

 

 27 
 

 

h. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and, to the extent provided in Section 7, each Indemnitee, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that the Placement Agent is the intended third-party beneficiary of Sections 2 and 3 hereof and shall be permitted to rely on the legal opinion identified in Section 6.c hereof.

 

i. Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8.k, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers contained in Sections 2 and 3, the agreements and covenants set forth in Section 4 and this Section 8, and the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 7, shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

j. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

k. Termination. In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer on or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of this Agreement due to the Company’s or such Buyer’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 above (and the nonbreaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party.

 

l. Placement Agent. The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that it has not engaged a placement agent, broker or financial advisor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby other than the Placement Agent, and there are no fees, commissions or expenses payable to any broker, finder or agent other than the Placement Agent relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees or broker’s commissions relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall pay, and hold each of the Buyers harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim for any such payment.

 

m. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties thereto express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

n. Remedies. The parties hereto agree that (i) irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and (ii) money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such harm. Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies that such Buyers and holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights that such Buyers and holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security or proving actual damages), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.

 

o. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company or any of the Subsidiaries makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or any Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company or such Subsidiary, by a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

 28 
 

 

p. Independent Nature of Buyers. The obligations of each Buyer hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer hereunder. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder. The decision of each Buyer to purchase the Shares and/or Preferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Buyer or by any agent or employee of any other Buyer, and no Buyer or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Buyer (or any other Person or entity) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto (including a Buyer’s purchase of Shares and/or Preferred Shares at the Closing at the same time as any other Buyer or Buyers), shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Buyer has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Buyers and their respective counsels have chosen to communicate with the Company through Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., counsel to the Placement Agent. Each Buyer acknowledges that Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. has rendered legal advice to the Placement Agent and not to such Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that each such Buyer has relied for such matters on the advice of its own respective counsel. The Company has elected to provide all Buyers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer.

 

q. Interpretative Matters. Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (ii) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (iii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (iv) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation, and (v) the word “or” shall not be exclusive. All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the Company, as if made by the Company pursuant to Section 3 hereof, as of the date of such certificate or instrument (including for purposes of Section 7 hereof).

Form of BCLP Opinion

 

 

1. Based solely on a recently dated good standing certificate from the Delaware Secretary of State, the Company is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Based solely on a recently dated good standing certificate from the Missouri Secretary of State, the Company is duly qualified or admitted to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in the State of Missouri.
   
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents. The filing of the Certificate of Designation and the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares and the reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares, have been duly authorized by the Company Board and no further consent or authorization is required by the Company Board or the Company’s stockholders. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Certificate of Designation has been duly executed and properly filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and has become effective under the DGCL. The Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.
   
3. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, of which (A) 24,000 shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 23,855 of which are issued and outstanding, and (B) 5,610,121 shares are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding. The Securities have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. When issued in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will be free from all taxes and Liens with respect to the issuance thereof. When issued in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Preferred Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will be free from all taxes and Liens with respect to the issuance thereof. Upon conversion in accordance with the Certificate of Designation, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes and Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. For purposes of this paragraph 3, our opinion with respect to the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is based solely on our review of a certificate of an officer of the Company, which serves as the transfer agent for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
   
4. Assuming (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the due performance by the Company and the Buyers of the covenants and agreements set forth in the Purchase Agreement, based on current interpretations by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (A) the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities by the Company under the circumstances contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not under existing law require the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (B) the issuance of the Conversion Shares by the Company upon conversion of the Preferred Shares under the circumstances contemplated by the Transaction Documents would not under existing law require the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, assuming such conversion took place on the date hereof.
   
5. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Company of its obligations and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the issuance and sale of the Securities and the reservation for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares) thereunder do not result in any violation by the Company of (i) the provisions of the Charter, the Series A Certificate of Designations or Bylaws, (ii) any provision of applicable Federal or Delaware state statute or regulation that we, based on our experience, recognize as applicable to the Company in a transaction of this type, or (iii) to our knowledge, any order, writ, judgment or decree of any Federal or Delaware court or governmental authority or regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Federal or Delaware State governmental authority or regulatory body pursuant to any Federal or Delaware State statute that we, based on our experience, recognize as applicable to the Company in a transaction of this type, is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Transaction Documents, except for the filings and other actions required pursuant to (y) Federal and state securities or blue sky laws, which have been obtained or made prior to the date hereof and are in full force and effect and such as are permitted by the Transaction Documents to be obtained or made after the Closing, or (z) the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), as to which we express no opinion.
   
6. The Company is not, and immediately after giving effect to the sale of the Securities in accordance with the Agreement will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Re: Stereotaxis, Inc. – Lock-Up Agreement

 

Dear Sirs and Madams:

 

This agreement (the “Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with a proposed Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), to be entered into by and between Stereotaxis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the several purchasers identified therein (each, including its successors and assigns, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), in which Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) will act as the placement agent with respect to the private placement (the “Offering”) of shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock,” and together with the Common Stock, the “Shares”) of the Company.

 

In order to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement, and in light of the benefits that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned in his, her or its capacity as a securityholder and/or an officer, director or employee of the Company, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period beginning on the date hereof through and including the date that is the 90th day after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, and will cause all affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned not to, without the prior written consent of Cowen, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, or publicly announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, any Shares (including, without limitation, Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned (the “Beneficially Owned Shares”) in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Exchange Act”)) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers, is designed to transfer or reasonably could be expected to transfer (whether by the undersigned or someone other than the undersigned) in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (the “Prohibited Activity”), (iii) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (iv) seek to convert or effect the conversion of or exercise of any securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock (including, but not limited to, any Preferred Stock or warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company). The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned, and any affiliate of the undersigned and any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned, from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Beneficially Owned Shares even if the Beneficially Owned Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Beneficially Owned Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Beneficially Owned Shares. The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is not, and has not caused or directed any of its affiliates to be or become, currently a party to any agreement or arrangement that is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in any Prohibited Activity during the Lock-Up Period. The restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraphs shall not apply to:

 

(1) if the undersigned is a natural person, any transfers made by the undersigned (a) as a bona fide gift to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, (b) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned or (c) as a bona fide gift to a charity or educational institution, if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value,

 

   

 

 

(2) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfers to any stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned, as the case may be, if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value,

 

(3) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfer made by the undersigned (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets, in any such case not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this Agreement or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity so long as the transferee is an affiliate (as defined below) of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value,

 

(4) the entry, by the undersigned, at any time on or after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, of any trading plan providing for the sale of Common Stock by the undersigned, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Common Stock during the Lock-up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period,

 

(5) any transfers made by the undersigned to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans or arrangements disclosed in the Company’s periodic reports (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) in connection with the vesting or exercise of the Company’s securities issued pursuant to such plan or arrangements,

 

(6) any transfer effected pursuant to any exchange of “underwater” options with the Company, or

 

(7) any deemed transfer of fractional shares in connection with any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares made in connection with any reverse stock split effected by the Company;

 

provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2) or (3) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise satisfactory in form and substance to Cowen, and (B) in the case of any transfer described in clause (1), (2), (3) or (6) above, if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that, (A) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (1) above, such transfer is being made as a gift or by will or intestate succession, (B) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (2) above, such transfer is being made to a stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in, the undersigned and is not a transfer for value, (C) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (3) above, such transfer is being made either (a) in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets or (b) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity that is an affiliate of the undersigned and such transfer is not for value, and (D) in the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (6) above, such transfer is being made to satisfy tax withholding obligations. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

 

   

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement prohibits the undersigned from exercising any options or warrants to purchase Common Stock (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis), it being understood that any Common Stock issued upon any such exercise will be subject to the restrictions of this Agreement.

 

In order to enable the restrictions set forth herein to be enforced, the undersigned hereby consents to the placing of legends or stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent with respect to any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock that are held on the books of the transfer agent.

 

The undersigned further agrees that it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand or request for or exercise any right with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of any shares of Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other Beneficially Owned Shares.

 

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that this Agreement has been duly authorized (if the undersigned is not a natural person), executed and delivered by the undersigned and is a valid and binding agreement of the undersigned. This Agreement and all authority herein conferred are irrevocable and shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned (if a natural person) and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

 

The undersigned acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lock-Up Agreement is a material inducement to each Buyer to complete the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and that Cowen shall be entitled to specific performance of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed in such state.

 

If (i) the Company notifies Cowen in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) the Securities Purchase Agreement is not executed by August 15, 2019, or (iii) the Securities Purchase Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated for any reason prior to payment for and delivery of any Shares to be sold thereunder, then this Agreement shall immediately be terminated and the undersigned shall automatically be released from all of his or her obligations under this Agreement. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that whether or not any Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions.

Each Cutback Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Cutback Required Registration Amount as of the date such Cutback Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC.

 3 
 

 

c. Allocation of Registrable Securities. The number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor that are to be included in such Registration Statement (without giving effect to any limitations imposed by the SEC). In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person that ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement. For purposes hereof, the number of Registrable Securities held by an Investor includes all Registrable Securities issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares held by such Investor, without regard to any limitation on the conversion of the Preferred Shares. In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

 

d. Legal Counsel. The Required Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2, which legal counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (“Legal Counsel”). The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

e. Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of any Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and provide that any Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed hereunder shall incorporate documents by reference (including by way of forward incorporation by reference) to the maximum extent possible and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

 

f. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(c), the Company shall promptly inform each Investor whose Registrable Securities are not fully covered by such Registration Statement and, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event (other than with respect to Cutback Shares) not later than twenty (20) days after the necessity therefor arises, or (if later) the first date on which the Company is then permitted to file such Registration Statement by the SEC (a “Subsequent Filing Deadline”) amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover Registrable Securities consisting of at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the number of Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement. The Company shall use best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof, but in any event (other than with respect to Cutback Shares) not later than sixty (60) days following the filing thereof (a “Subsequent Effectiveness Deadline”). For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if as of any date of determination, the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than 100% of the number of Registrable Securities. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares.

g. Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.

 

i. If (A) a Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b) or Section 2(f) of this Agreement is not (I) filed with the SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (II) declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (an “Effectiveness Failure”) or (B) on any day after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales of all the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(s))) pursuant to such Registration Statement (including because of a failure to keep the such Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement or to register sufficient shares of Common Stock, as determined in accordance with Section 2(f)) (a “Maintenance Failure,” and each of a Filing Failure, an Effectiveness Failure and a Maintenance Failure being referred to as a “Registration Default”), then the Company shall pay, as partial liquidated damages (but not as a penalty) to any holder of Shares or Preferred Shares by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell its Shares or Conversion Shares, as applicable (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate purchase price paid pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement for such holder’s Registrable Securities required to be included in such Registration Statement on each of the following dates: (1) the initial day of a Filing Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until such Filing Failure is cured; (2) the initial day of an Effectiveness Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (3) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days) thereafter until such Maintenance Failure is cured.

 

ii. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(g) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (A) the dates set forth above and (B) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of one percent (1.0%) per month (prorated for partial months) or the highest lawful interest rate, in each case, until paid in full.

 

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS. At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b) or Section 2(f), the Company will use best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

a. The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the applicable Registrable Securities (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall use best efforts to keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation, restriction or condition (including any current public information requirement) thereunder, and (ii) the date on which the Investors have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with such Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Registration Period”). Such Registration Statement shall contain a “plan of distribution” approved by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included therein. Such Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and any prospectuses (preliminary, final, summary or free writing) contained therein or related thereto shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. No later than the second Business Day after such Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company will file with the SEC the final prospectus included therein pursuant to Rule 424 (or successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act. The term “best efforts” shall mean, among other things, (i) that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the Company is notified by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request and (ii) the Company shall, subject to Section 3(c), respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than ten (10) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.

b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-K or any analogous report under the 1934 Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC within one Business Day after the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of any request by the SEC or any other Governmental Authority, during the period of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or related prospectus or for additional information.

 

c. The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) the Initial Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC, and (ii) all other Registration Statements and all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any document, Registration Statement, amendment or supplement described in the foregoing clause (A) in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without providing prior notice thereof to Legal Counsel.

The Company shall permit Legal Counsel, upon request, to review and comment upon the Company’s responses to any such correspondence and shall not submit any such responses in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

 

d. The Company shall furnish to each Investor, upon request, without charge, such documents, including copies of any prospectus (preliminary, final, summary or free writing), as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

 

e. The Company shall use best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by the Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions or obtain exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements of such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not currently so qualified or subject to general taxation or has not currently so consented. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

f. The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the happening of any event, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such event but in any event no later than the next Trading Day, as a result of which, in the case of a Registration Statement, it includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, in the case of the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, it includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that the Company shall not disclose any material non-public information to any Investor in any such notice unless otherwise requested in writing by such Investor), and, subject to Section 3(s), promptly prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or email on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. By 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the date following the date any post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

g. The Company shall use best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement (other than during an Allowable Grace Period, as defined below), or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible time and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order or suspension and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

h. If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the reasonable request of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.

 

i. At the reasonable request (in the context of applicable securities laws) of any Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection by (A) such Investor, (B) Legal Counsel and (C) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.

 

a. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement and at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the filing of any amendment or supplement to a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information, if any, the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or, with respect to an amendment or a supplement, if such Investor’s Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement (each an “Information Request”).

b. Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

 

c. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f), or written notice from the Company of an Allowable Grace Period, such Investor will discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice from the Company in writing that no supplement or amendment is required or that the Allowable Grace Period has ended. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

6. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement:

 

a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, members, managers, investment managers, employees, affiliates, agents and representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement, joint or several, and any expenses (collectively, “Indemnified Damages”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or Governmental Authority or other administrative or regulatory agency or body (including the SEC and any state commission or authority or self-regulatory organization or securities exchange in the United States or elsewhere), whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Claims”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claim (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus, including any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, and including all information incorporated by reference therein), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any breach or violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim or Indemnified Damages sought by an Indemnified Person to the extent arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and (y) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities by any Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor’s Registrable Securities are included, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each an “Indemnified Party”), to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a) with respect to the Indemnified Persons, against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor will reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim or Indemnified Damages if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that an Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities by any Investor pursuant to Section 9.

c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of the written threat of or notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim or Indemnified Damages, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, promptly deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the written threat of or notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding. In case any such action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person and such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party may retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of that counsel will be at the expense of that Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, unless (i) the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall have mutually agreed to the retention of that counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of such proceeding in a timely manner or (iii) in the opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, the representation by such counsel for the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by counsel to the indemnifying party in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or proceeding or Claim or Indemnified Damages by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action, proceeding or Claim or Indemnified Damages. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, as the case may be, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise with respect to any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be or has been sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as applicable) of a full release from all liability with respect to such Claim or Indemnified Damages or which includes any admission as to fault or culpability on the part of such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action or proceeding as a result of such failure.

 

d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall promptly reimburse the indemnifying party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

7. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement , less the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay in connection with such sale.

 

 12 
 

 

8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.

 

a. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to, so long as an Investor owns Registrable Securities, use best efforts to:

 

i. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

ii. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under Section 4(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

iii. furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

b. For so long as the Principal Market is not a National Exchange (as such terms are defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company shall use its best efforts to facilitate trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market and, without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall file all necessary reports, at its expense, to publish all information so as to have available “current public information” in Standard & Poor’s Corporation Records or Mergent’s Manual for state “blue sky” exemption purposes.

 

9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of (i) the Required Holders and (ii) Redmile Group LLC, but only to the extent that the Required Holders are not funds, accounts or entities managed by Redmile Group, LLC or any of its Affiliates. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company; (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws; (iv) the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) the transferee is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.

 

10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of (i) the Company, (ii) the Required Holders and (iii) Redmile Group LLC, but only to the extent that the Required Holders are not funds, accounts or entities managed by Redmile Group, LLC or any of its Affiliates; provided that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor (for the avoidance of doubt, participation by any Investor in an unrelated financing by the Company shall not be deemed to disproportionately affect the Investors who do not participate in such financing). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to each of the Investors.

 

 13 
 

 

11. ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION STATEMENTS. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the last day of the Registration Period, if at any time there is not an effective Registration Statement available for the resale of the Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company shall not file a Registration Statement or an offering statement under the 1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Registrable Securities (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-8, or such supplements or amendments to Registration Statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof, solely to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available.

 14 
 

 

c. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

 

d. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

h. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

 

i. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

m. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and, to the extent provided in Sections 6 and 7 hereof, each Indemnified Person and Indemnified Party, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

 

n. The Company shall not grant any Person any registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company other than registration rights that will not adversely affect the rights of the Investors hereunder (including by limiting in any way the number of Registrable Securities that could be included in any Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415) and shall not otherwise enter into any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investors hereunder.

 

o. The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any Investor vis-à-vis any other Investor. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Stereotaxis Announces $25 Million Private Placement

 

ST. LOUIS, MO, August 8, 2019 – Stereotaxis (OTCQX: STXS), the global leader in innovative robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with select institutional investors for a $25 million private placement.

 

In this private placement, Stereotaxis is selling approximately 12.2 million shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock at a purchase price of $2.05 per share to select healthcare-focused and growth-oriented institutional investors. The preferred stock is a common stock equivalent but non-voting and with a blocker on conversion into common stock if the holder would exceed a specified threshold of voting security ownership. The financing was led by Redmile Group, and also included Opaleye Management and Parkman Healthcare Partners. Cowen acted as the exclusive placement agent for the private placement.

 

“We are grateful for the trust and confidence of the investors that joined us in our mission to improve patient care and transform electrophysiology with robotics,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO. “This financing reflects our shared excitement for Stereotaxis’ substantial near-term and long-term growth opportunities. A financing was not necessary to accomplish our strategic goals but will enhance our commercial growth initiatives and a second wave of innovation in electrophysiology and beyond.”

 

The securities to be issued upon the closing of the private placement transaction described in this press release have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws, and unless so registered, any such securities may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares sold in the private placement following the closing of the transaction. Additional details regarding the offering will be included in the Form 8-K to be filed by Stereotaxis with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

This press release includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements, usually containing the words “believe”, “estimate”, “project”, “expect” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital on a timely basis and on terms that are acceptable, its ability to continue to manage expenses and cash burn rate at sustainable levels, its ability to continue to work with lenders to extend, repay or refinance indebtedness, or to obtain additional financing, in either case on acceptable terms, continued acceptance of the Company’s products in the marketplace, the effect of global economic conditions on the ability and willingness of customers to purchase its systems and the timing of such purchases, competitive factors, changes resulting from healthcare reform in the United States, including changes in government reimbursement procedures, dependence upon third-party vendors, timing of regulatory approvals, and other risks discussed in the Company’s periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. By making these forward-looking statements, the Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release. There can be no assurance that the Company will recognize revenue related to its purchase orders and other commitments in any particular period or at all because some of these purchase orders and other commitments are subject to contingencies that are outside of the Company’s control. In addition, these orders and commitments may be revised, modified, delayed or canceled, either by their express terms, as a result of negotiations, or by overall project changes or delays.
