In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 5.6, of a legend on only the Shares in the following form (with the bracketed text inserted or excluded, as applicable):

 

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ARE ‘RESTRICTED SECURITIES’ AS DEFINED BY RULE 144 UNDER THAT ACT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT REGISTERING THE SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR, IN LIEU THEREOF, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THIS COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THAT ACT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE SHARES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THIS COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, OR OTHER DISPOSITION DOES NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION OR ANY RULES OR REGULATIONS THEREUNDER.

 

5.7 Future Company Offering. The Company hereby grants Purchaser a right of first refusal with respect to any offering of Shares in the future until two (2) years from the date hereof, on the same terms and conditions to be offered or contemplated to be offered to any other purchaser, and shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice of such proposed offering. Upon receipt of the written notice, Purchaser shall have 15 days to provide written notice to exercise its right of first refusal, and thereafter, Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to close no later than 15 days after Purchaser’s acceptance. Purchaser may waive its right in writing at any time. The Purchaser’s right of first refusal under this section exempts any Shares sold under the Company’s pre-existing stock purchases agreement with Tumim Stone Capital LLC dated June 28, 2022. After termination of this right or any expiration of the notice period, the Company shall be free to sell to any other purchaser or purchasers without restriction pursuant to this Section 5.7.

 

22

 

 

5.8 Legal Opinions. On or after the 6-month anniversary after the Closing, the Company shall cause its counsel to promptly issue appropriate legal opinions, as and if requested by Purchaser authorizing the public sale of the Shares, such legal opinion to be delivered to the Company’s Transfer Agent no later than 5 business days from the time the Purchaser requests such legal opinion, provided that Purchaser delivers a standard seller representation letter in such form reasonably necessary at the request of Company counsel with respect to the ownership and transfer of such Shares. In the event the foregoing legal opinion is not delivered to Purchaser and the Company’s Transfer Agent within such 7 days after receipt of Purchaser’s representation letter in connection with the Shares for which the legal opinion is requested, this failure would constitute a material default of this Agreement. Accordingly, due to the fact that damages to Purchaser are not readily ascertainable the parties agree that the Company would immediately pay to the Purchaser the sum of $2,500 per day for each calendar day in which the opinion letter is not provided from the Shares.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice hereunder shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Section 5, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. With respect to Purchaser’s Losses, the Company shall be the Indemnifying Party and Purchaser and its representatives, agents and attorneys shall be the Indemnified Party.

The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter. In the event the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect in a timely manner against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from the Indemnifying Party including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof, provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable judgment, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.
