Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On November 7, 2023, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Investors in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”) in one or more closings up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Notes”).  As of November 7, 2023, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $2,600,000 of Notes to certain Investors pursuant to the SPA.

 

The gross proceeds to the Company from the transaction are approximately $2,600,000, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other estimated offering expenses.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The initial closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur on November 7, 2023, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

The Notes are due on the fifth anniversary of their issuance and bear simple interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable in equal monthly installments. The Notes are convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $1.25 per share, as adjusted, which shall not exceed $1.55 per share.  In addition, the Company can require Investors to convert the Notes at the then current conversion price at any time after 90 days from the issue date if the Common Stock has a closing bid price of $1.55 per share or higher on the Nasdaq Capital Market for any twenty (20) days within a thirty (30) day period of consecutive trading days, or if a “fundamental change” occurs (as defined in the SPA). The Notes are unsecured and senior to other indebtedness of the Company subject to certain exceptions.

 

The offer and sale of the Notes pursuant to the SPA is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as it is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

 

The SPA includes customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, certain other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. 

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In addition, pursuant to the SPA, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“RRA”) dated November 7, 2023, with each Investor requiring the Company to register the resale of the underlying Common Stock from the conversion of the Notes.  The Company is required to prepare and file an initial registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 60 calendar days following the date of the initial closing under the SPA (the “Filing Deadline”), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 90 calendar days of the Filing Deadline.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the SPA, the Note, the RRA and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the forms of such documents which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER OR PURSUANT TO AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE REASONABLE SATISFACTION OF COUNSEL TO THE ISSUER, THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IS NOT REQUIRED. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

 

 

4.2 Accredited Investor Status. Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

4.3 Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the Notes is being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and each Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of each Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of each Buyer to acquire the Notes.

 

4.4 Information. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and other information each Buyer deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Notes, which have been requested by such Buyer. Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Neither such inquiries, nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by any Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives, shall modify, amend or affect each Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE V below. The Buyer has concluded that investment in the Notes is in the Buyer’s “best interests.” Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company that enabled and enables Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment.

4.6 Authorization, Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of each Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of each Buyer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Buyer that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Buyer’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Buyer’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the securities covered by this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

 

9.1 Company’s Obligation to Indemnify. In consideration of the Buyers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Notes hereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to defend and indemnify each Buyer and each Buyer’s Affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and the Company does hereby agree to hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless, from and against any and all Claims made, brought or asserted against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and the Company hereby agrees to pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties upon demand for any and all Claims payable by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to any Person, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses, court costs, settlement amounts, costs of investigation and interest thereon from the time such amounts are due at the highest non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable Law, through all negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, trial and appellate levels, as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to: (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, the Offering Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or Obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement, the Offering Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; or (iii) any Claims brought or made against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, by any Person and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Offering Documents or any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto or thereto, any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Notes, or the status of the Buyers of any of the Notes, as a buyer and holder of such Notes. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking 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 Claims covered hereby, which is permissible under applicable Law. The Company will not be obligated to consent under this indemnity: (i) to any settlement by a Buyer in connection with any Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a Claim is attributable to any Buyer’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Buyer in this Agreement or in the other Offering Documents.

 

ARTICLE X

MATTERS RELATING TO THE BUYERS

 

10.1 Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement and the Offering Documents 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 under any one or more of the Offering Documents.

 

10.2 Offering Documents. Each Buyer acknowledges that unless the purchase is being effected in a discretionary account for the Buyer by a third party manager or as otherwise disclosed by the Buyer to the Company, no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of such other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in the Notes or enforcing its rights under the Offering Documents. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Offering Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company and each of the Buyers acknowledge that, for reasons of administrative convenience the Company has elected to provide each of the Buyers with the same Offering Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company and each Buyer acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Offering Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more 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 by the Offering Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyers may, without violating or contradicting any of the above, appoint a Buyer or Buyers or a third party to act as a representative or representatives of the Buyers for purposes of monitoring and enforcing the Offering Documents.

 






 

ARTICLE XI

TERMINATION

 

11.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Initial Closing (i) by mutual written agreement of the Buyer and the Company and notice to the Placement Agent, or (ii) by either the Company or a Buyer (as to itself but for no other Buyer) upon written notice to the other and the Placement Agent, if the Initial Closing shall not have taken place by 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a date prior to thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement or such later date as agreed to between the Company and the Placement Agent, but in no event later than March 1, 2024 (the “Outside Closing Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1 shall not be available to any party whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time.

 

11.2 Consequences of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement, if any the funds deposited by a Buyer are still on deposit with the Company, the Placement Agent, time being of the essence, the Company shall return such funds to such Buyer in accordance with this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall release any party from any liability for breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Offering Documents.

12% Convertible Note

 

November ____, 2023

Frederick, Maryland

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), hereby absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay to the order of ____________________________ or its successors or assigns (the "Lender," which term shall include the holder, from time to time, of this Note (as defined below)), the principal amount of ___________________ Dollars ($___________) in legal tender of the United States, together with simple interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months for actual days elapsed) on such principal amount outstanding from time to time at the rate of twelve percent (12.0%) per annum. In the event of an Event of Default (as defined below), the total unpaid indebtedness under this Convertible Promissory Note (this ''Note") shall bear simple interest, retroactive to date of issuance, at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum.

 

This Note is being issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated on or about the date hereof, by and among the Company and certain investors party to such agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by the holders of the Notes.

 

1. Repayments and Prepayments.

 

(a) Subject to Sections 2(a) and 3(a) hereof, all of the outstanding principal and all other amounts owing under this Note shall be due and payable on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the issue date set forth above, and the simple interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months for actual days elapsed) on such principal amount outstanding shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments to an account designated by the holder.

 

 
1

 

 

(b) With at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Lender, the Company may prepay this Note at any time, either in whole or in part, without penalty.

 

(c) All payments received under this Note shall be applied first to costs, expenses and other amounts incurred in connection with the collection of this Note (other than principal and interest), then to accrued interest on the date of payment, and then to the outstanding principal balance of this Note.

 

(d) All payments of principal and interest shall be made to the holder of this Note not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date and at the place of payment designated by the holder hereof as aforesaid, and any payment received on such date but after such hour shall be deemed to have been paid to and received by the holder hereof on the next succeeding business day. If the date on which any payment is required to be made pursuant to this Note is not a business day, then such payment shall be due and payable on the next succeeding date which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest. All payments hereunder shall be made without reduction, and shall not be subject to any claim or offset of any kind or nature whatsoever.

 

(e) This Note and all other 12% Convertible Notes issued by the Company shall, pari passu, rank senior to all other indebtedness incurred by the Company other than leases and short term debt incurred in the normal operation of the Company.

 

2. Conversion. The outstanding principal amount owing under this Note shall be convertible into equity securities of the Company as follows:

 

(a) Optional Conversion. At any time, so long as a Fundamental Change (as defined below) has not yet occurred, at the written election of the Lender, all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall be converted into that number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the outstanding principal amount of this Note by (B) one dollar and twenty five cents ($1.25) per share, as adjusted (the “Conversion Price”), provided that the Conversion Price shall not in any event, exceed one dollar and fifty five cents ($1.55) per share. The Company covenants that it shall use its reasonable efforts to cause a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note to be authorized in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and reserved for issuance prior to any such conversion; provided, however, that if a sufficient number of such shares is not authorized and reserved at the time of such election, the conversion shall be delayed until the proper number of shares is authorized and reserved, with the Company then obligated to use its best efforts to cause a sufficient number of shares to be authorized and reserved as soon as practicable.

 

(b) Mandatory Conversion. Upon the occurrence of any of the following, the Company shall, subject to applicable law, have the right at its sole option, to cause all or a portion of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note to be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock on notice to the holder of this Note, at the then existing Conversion Price:

  

 
2

 

 

(i) At any time after ninety (90) days from the original date of this Note, if the closing sale price of the shares of Common Stock on the public market equals or exceeds one dollar and fifty five cents ($1.55) for at least twenty (20) trading days (whether or not consecutive) in a period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the day on which the Company notifies the holder of this Note.

 

(ii) In the event of a Fundamental Change prior to the conversion or full repayment of this Note, the Company shall have the right on notice to the holder of this Note, to convert the principal amount into shares of Common Stock at the then existing Conversion Price. The Company shall give the Lender written notice of the Fundamental Change at least ten (10) days prior to the consummation thereof. For purposes hereof, a "Fundamental Change" shall mean any one of the following: (a) the sale by the Company's stockholders of 50% or more of the Company's voting capital stock outstanding in any transaction or series of related transactions; (b) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company in any transaction or series of related transactions, unless in any such case all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Company's capital stock immediately prior thereto beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or resulting corporation (or if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation); (c) the complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (d) the consummation of a sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a third party; provided that in no event shall a Fundamental Change be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of (x) a sale by the Company of equity securities in transactions the primary purpose of which is to raise capital for the Company's operations and activities, including without limitation a public offering or (y) any reduction (other than a transaction described in clause (a) above) in ownership of the Company's outstanding Common Stock or voting securities by stockholders of the Company as of the date of this Note (or their affiliates).

 

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. In connection with such conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 2(a) or (b), the Lender shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty, at the principal office of the Company. At its expense, the Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to the Lender at such principal office a certificate or certificates for the Common Stock (bearing such legends as may be required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company), together with a check payable to the Lender for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 2(d) below, plus all accrued but unpaid interest to such date and all other amounts owing hereunder.

 

(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Lender upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Lender an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying the conversion price applied to effect such conversion by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this Note, the Company shall be released from all of its obligations and liabilities under this Note.

3. Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and the written election of the Lender (except as provided below), the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon and all amounts owing hereunder shall be immediately due and payable and the Lender shall have all legal and equitable rights of holders of unsecured debt instruments, whether at law, in equity or under this Note (provided that such principal, interest and other amounts shall become immediately due and payable if an Event of Default listed in clause (ii) below shall occur). For purposes of this Note, the following events shall each constitute an "Event of Default": (i) failure to pay any amount owing by the Company hereunder when due and payable, which breach or violation is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice of such default from the Lender, (ii) the initiation of any bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution by or against the Company, or a general assignment of assets by the Company for the benefit of creditors, (iii) the material breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Note at the time when such representation or warranty is made, which breach or violation is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice of such breach from the Lender, (iv) the breach by the Company of any of the covenants set forth in this Note, which breach or violation is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice of such breach from the Lender, or (v) any of the Company's indebtedness for borrowed money (or any guaranty by the Company thereof) is accelerated as a result of a default or breach of or under any agreement for such borrowed money, including but not limited to loan, credit or reimbursement agreements, or any default shall occur thereunder which entitles the holder thereof to so accelerate such indebtedness, or material breach under any real property lease agreements and capital equipment lease agreements by which the Company is bound or obligated.

 

No remedy herein conferred upon the Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy hereunder, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.

 

4. Notices.

 

(a) All notices, reports and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and may be delivered in person, by facsimile or email with written confirmation, overnight delivery service or U.S. mail, in which event it may be mailed by first-class, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed (i) if to the Lender, at the Lender's address set forth in the Company's corporate records (or such other address as the Lender shall have properly furnished the Company in writing), and (ii) if to the Company, at 8430 Spires Way, Frederick, Maryland 21701 (or such other address as the Company shall have properly furnished the Lender in writing), attention: Corporate Secretary.

The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Investors and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission. The Company may impose reasonable restrictions on the length of the review process.

(b) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and custodian, clearing firm fees and expenses, accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel to the Investors and the Investors’ reasonable expenses in connection with the registration, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.

 

(c) Effectiveness.

 

(i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective within ninety (90) days from the Initial Closing Date. The Company shall promptly notify the Investors by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as possible after, and in any event, no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time within five (5) Business Days following the date, any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Investors by facsimile or e-mail with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company, or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify each Investor in writing of the commencement of and the reasons for an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of an Investor) disclose to such Investor any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use its best efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

 

(iii) Without limiting the remedies available to the Investors, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 2(a) or Section 2(c) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Investors for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Investors may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(c) hereof.

 

 
3

 

 

(d) Rule 415; Cut back. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement (alone or together with previously or subsequently registered shares of Common Stock) is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires any Investor to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall use its best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Investors is an “underwriter.” The Investors shall have the right to participate or have their counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position (unless in the reasonable opinion of the Company or its counsel, such participation will be to the detriment to the Company in that it may cause undue delays in the registration process or for other reasons) and to comment or have their counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which the Investors’ counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(d), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) first remove any securities registered for the account of any selling shareholders other than the holders of Registrable Securities, (ii) second remove any securities being registered for sale by the Company, and (iii) third remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Investor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any cut back imposed on the Investors pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall be allocated among the Investors (and the holders of any previously or subsequently registered shares of Common Stock whose shares are subject to the Rule 415 position taken by the SEC) on a pro rata basis, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Investors otherwise agree. No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the Company is able to commence the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date” of such Cut Back Shares). From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the liquidated damages provisions) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that (i) the Filing Deadline for the Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be ten (10) Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares under Section 2(c) shall be the 90th day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date.

 

3. Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

(a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”) and provide, upon request, the Investors with a copy of the opinion of counsel to the Company to the Transfer Agent and instructions from the Company to the Transfer Agent to remove the re-sale restrictions imposed by the 1933 Act from the Registrable Securities, both of which will be irrevocable;

 

 
4

 

 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;

 

(c) provide, upon request, copies to counsel designated by the Investors and permit such counsel to review and provide comments on each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than two (2) Business Days, in the case of the initial Registration Statement, and one (1) Business Day, in the case of any amendment or supplement, prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects;

 

(d) furnish to the Investors and to counsel designated by the Investors (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor that are covered by the related Registration Statement;

 

(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

 

(f) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Investors and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 

 
5

 

 

(g) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(h) immediately notify the Investors, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and

 

(i) comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the 1933 Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, promptly inform the Investors in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Investors are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this Section 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter).

 

(j) With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) twelve months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect, or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; (iii) furnish to each Investor upon request, as long as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration; and (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to assist each Investor with the removal of any legends required under Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, including with respect to any opinions required thereby, provided that the Company’s obligations hereunder are subject to the reasonable determination of the Company and the Company’s counsel that any such legend removal complies with the 1933 Act.

4. Due Diligence Review; Information. Upon written request, the Company shall make available, during normal business hours, for inspection and review by the Investors, advisors to and representatives of the Investors (who may or may not be affiliated with the Investors and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), all financial and other records, all SEC Filings and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Investors or any such representative, advisor or underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investors and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement. As a condition to such inspection and review, the Company may require the Investors to enter into confidentiality agreements.

 

The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Investor wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.

 

5. Obligations of the Investors.

 

(a) Each Investor shall furnish to the Company a completed and executed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of an Investor in a Registration Statement who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed and executed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement. It is agreed and understood that if an Investor returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire after the deadline specified in the previous sentence, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are required to name such Investor as a selling security holder in the Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in such late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to file any additional Registration Statements solely for such shares or to take any action that the Company reasonably concludes would cause the Company to miss the Filing Deadline or the deadline by which the Registration Statement must be declared effective by the SEC, or otherwise cause other Registrable Securities to be ineligible for sale.

 

(b) Each Investor, by its 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 a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii), or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Investor is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.

 

6. Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers, directors, members, managers, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iii) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (iv) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. For an abundance of clarity, the liquidated damage provisions in Section 2 shall not limit the recovery to which an Investor is entitled under this Section 6.

 

(b) Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification, and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, that any person 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 such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person, or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists or may exist between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of such indemnified party.

 

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

Any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall be binding on all Investors, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Investor that adversely affects its rights hereunder in a manner disproportionate to any adverse effect such amendment would have on the rights of the other Investors, unless such Investor provides its prior written consent to such amendment (which may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s sole discretion).

(d) Assignments and Transfers by the Company. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Required Investors, provided, however, that in the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar business combination transaction in which the Common Stock is converted into the equity securities of another Person, from and after the effective time of such transaction, such Person shall, by virtue of such transaction, be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Company hereunder, the term “Company” shall be deemed to refer to such Person and the term “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to include the securities received by the Investors in connection with such transaction unless such securities are otherwise freely tradable by the Investors after giving effect to such transaction.

Exhibit A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

 

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

 

·         ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

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

 

·         purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

·         an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

·         privately negotiated transactions;

 

·         short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

·         through the writing or settlement of options, forward sales or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

·         broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and

 

·         a combination of any such methods of sale.

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.  The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

 

Exhibit A- 1

 

 

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any.  Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

 

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

 

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.  Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.  Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates.  In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

 

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

 

 

Exhibit A- 2

 

 

Exhibit B

 

TOMI ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, INC.

 

Selling Stockholder Questionnaire

 

The undersigned beneficial owner of 12% Convertible Notes (the “Notes”), of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, which Notes is convertible into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, understands that the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), of the Conversion Shares (the “Registrable Securities”), in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement to which this questionnaire is attached as Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company and the Investors named therein.  The purpose of this Questionnaire is to facilitate the filing of the Registration Statement under the 1933 Act that will permit you to resell the Registrable Securities in the future.  The information supplied by you will be used in preparing the Registration Statement.  A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request as follows: Tomi Environmental Solutions, Inc., 8430 Spires Way Frederick, Maryland 21701, Attn: Corporate Secretary.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.  Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

 

This Questionnaire requests information concerning your “beneficial ownership” of the securities of the Company. The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. For example, a person has beneficial ownership of a share not only if he owns it in the usual sense, but also if he has the power (solely or shared) to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of the share. Beneficial ownership also includes the number of shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this Questionnaire, pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of notes, debentures or other indebtedness, but excludes stock appreciation rights. Two or more persons might count as beneficial owners of the same share.

Exhibit B- 4

 

 

The undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the effective date of any applicable Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein in its answers to Items 1 through 7 and the inclusion of such information in each Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and each related prospectus.  The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of any such Registration Statement and the related prospectus.

 

By signing below, the undersigned acknowledges that it understands its obligation to comply, and agrees that it will comply, with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, particularly Regulation M.  The undersigned also acknowledges that it understands that the answers to this Questionnaire are furnished for use in connection with Registration Statements filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and any amendments or supplements thereto filed with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act.

 

The undersigned hereby acknowledges and is advised of the following Commission interpretations regarding short selling:

 

“An Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective.  One of the selling stockholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date.  The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement become effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made.  There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”

 

By returning this Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

 

I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the foregoing statements (including without limitation the answers to this Questionnaire) are correct.

 

 

Exhibit B- 5

 

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly authorized agent.
