ITEM 1.01

ENTRY
INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE
AGREEMENT
|
On
November 3, 2006, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
dated November 3, 2006 as amended on December 15, 2006 and February 6, 2007,
by
and between 3DIcon Corporation (the “Company”) and Golden Gate Investors, Inc.
(“Golden Gate”), (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) the Company issued and
sold a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 to Golden Gate
(the “First Debenture”). The terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement also
provided that at such time as the principal balance of the Original Debenture
is
less than $400,000 and provided that the Company is then in compliance with
the
terms of the Original Debenture and the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Company may require Golden Gate to purchase a second debenture in the principal
amount of $1,250,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Second Debenture must
occur within 30 days of the date on which the principal balance of the First
Debenture is less than $400,000.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, on October 24, 2007, at
such
time as the principal balance of the First Debenture was less than $400,000,
the
Company provided Golden Gate with written notice that it desired to require
Golden Gate to purchase the Second Debenture. On November 21, 2007, the Company
issued and sold a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 to
Golden Gate (the “Second Debenture”). Pursuant to the terms of the Second
Debenture, Golden Gate may at their election convert all or a part of the Second
Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal
to the lesser of (i) $2.00 of (ii) 90% of the average of the five lowest volume
weighted average prices during the twenty trading days prior to Golden Gate’s
election to convert, subject to adjustment as provided in the Second Debenture.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Second Debenture, the Company has
agreed to file a registration statement covering the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Second Debenture.
The
Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, for the private placement of the above-referenced
securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated
thereunder since, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public
offering, the investors were accredited investors, the investors had access
to
information about us and their investment, the investors took the securities
for
investment and not resale, and we took appropriate measures to restrict the
transfer of the securities.

CONVERSION
OF DEBENTURE
SECTION
3.1 Conversion;
Conversion Price; Valuation Event.
(a)
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.5 hereof, and further subject
to the limitations on the obligation to either release funds from the Escrow
or
issue Conversion Shares pursuant to Section I.B of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, at the option of the Holder, this Debenture may be converted, either
in whole or in part, up to the full Principal Amount hereof into Common Shares
(calculated as to each such conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share),
at
any time and from time to time on any Business Day, subject to compliance with
Section 3.2. The number of Common Shares into which this Debenture may be
converted is equal to the dollar amount of the Debenture being converted divided
by the Conversion Price. The “Conversion
Price”
shall be
equal to the lesser of (i) $2.00, or (ii) 90% of the average of the five lowest
Volume Weighted Average Prices during the twenty Trading Days prior to Holder’s
election to convert (the percentage figure being a “Discount
Multiplier”);
provided,
that in
the event the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the
SEC
by the Deadline then the applicable Discount Multiplier shall decrease by three
percentage points for each month or partial month occurring after the Deadline
that the Registration Statement is not effective or, if the Registration
Statement has theretofore been declared effective but is not thereafter
effective, then the applicable Discount Multiplier shall decrease by three
percentage points for each week or partial week occurring after the Deadline
that the Registration Statement is not effective. In addition, if the
Registration Statement has theretofore been declared effective but is not
thereafter effective, Holder, at its option, shall be entitled to the Conversion
Price on the date that the Registration Statement is no longer effective, for
a
period beginning on the date that the Registration Statement is declared
effective and continuing for the number of days that a Registration Statement
was not effective. The Company reserves the right to increase the number of
Trading Days in clause (ii) above, as it deems appropriate.
If
the
Holder elects to convert a portion of the Debenture and, on the day that the
election is made, the Volume Weighted Average Price is below $0.75, the Company
shall have the right to prepay that portion of the Debenture that Holder elected
to convert, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, at 135% of such amount. In
the
event that the Company elects to prepay that portion of the Debenture, Holder
shall have the right to withdraw its Conversion Notice. If, at anytime during
the month, the Volume Weighted Average Price is below $0.75, Holder shall not
be
obligated to convert any portion of the Debenture during that month.
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.1(a), in the event the Company’s Registration
Statement has not been declared effective by the Deadline or, if the
Registration Statement has theretofore been declared effective but is not
thereafter effective, the following will also apply in addition to any damages
incurred by the Holder as a result thereof:
(i) The
Holder may demand repayment of one hundred and fifteen percent (115%) of the
Principal Amount of the Debenture, together with all accrued and unpaid interest
on the Principal Amount of the Debenture, in cash, at any time after the
Deadline but prior to the Company’s Registration Statement being declared
effective by the SEC or during the period that the Company’s Registration
Statement is not effective, such repayment to be made within three (3) business
days of such demand. In the event that the Debenture is so accelerated, in
addition to the repayment of one hundred and fifteen percent (115%) of the
Principal Amount together with accrued interest as aforesaid, the Company shall
immediately issue and pay, as the case may be, to the Holder 25,000 Shares
of
Common Stock and $15,000 for each thirty (30) day period,
or portion thereof, during which the Principal Amount, including interest
thereon, remains unpaid following demand, with the monthly payment amount to
increase to $20,000 for each thirty (30) day period, or portion thereof, after
the first ninety (90) day period;

(ii) If
the
SEC indicates that the Company’s Registration Statement will be declared
effective upon request by the Company, and the Company does not, within 3
business days of the SEC indication, request that the Registration Statement
become effective, the amounts set forth in subsection (i) above shall
double.
SECTION
3.2 Exercise
of Conversion Privilege.
(a) Conversion
of this Debenture may be exercised on any Business Day by the Holder by
telecopying an executed and completed Conversion Notice to the Company. Each
date on which a Conversion Notice is telecopied to the Company in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 3.2 shall constitute a Conversion Date.
The
Company shall convert this Debenture and issue the Common Stock Issued at
Conversion in the manner provided below in this Section 3.2, and all voting
and
other rights associated with the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock Issued
at Conversion shall vest with the Holder, effective as of the Conversion Date
at
the time specified in the Conversion Notice. The Conversion Notice also shall
state the name or names (with addresses) of the persons who are to become the
holders of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion in connection with such
conversion. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Conversion
Notice as aforesaid, but in any event not more than two (2) Business Days after
the Company’s receipt of such Conversion Notice, the Company shall (i) issue the
Common Stock Issued at Conversion in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 3 and (ii) cause to be mailed for delivery by overnight courier, or
if a
Registration Statement covering the Common Stock has been declared effective
by
the SEC cause to be electronically transferred, to Holder (x) a certificate
or
certificate(s) representing the number of Common Shares to which the Holder
is
entitled by virtue of such conversion, (y) cash, as provided in Section 3.3,
in
respect of any fraction of a Common Share deliverable upon such conversion
and
(z) cash or shares of Common Stock, as applicable, representing the amount
of
accrued and unpaid interest on this Debenture as of the Conversion Date. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the Conversion Date,
and
at such time the rights of the Holder of this Debenture, as such (except if
and
to the extent that any Principal Amount thereof remains unconverted), shall
cease and the Person and Persons in whose name or names the Common Stock issued
at Conversion shall be issuable shall be deemed to have become the holder or
holders of record of the Common Shares represented thereby, and all voting
and
other rights associated with the beneficial ownership of such Common Shares
shall at such time vest with such Person or Persons. The Conversion Notice
shall
constitute a contract between the Holder and the Company, whereby the Holder
shall be deemed to subscribe for the number of Common Shares which it will
be
entitled to receive upon such conversion and, in payment and satisfaction of
such subscription (and for any cash adjustment to which it is entitled pursuant

(b) If,
at
any time after the date of this Debenture, (i) the Company wrongfully
challenges, disputes or denies the right of the Holder hereof to effect the
conversion of this Debenture into Common Shares or otherwise wrongfully
dishonors or rejects any Conversion Notice delivered in accordance with this
Section 3.2 or (ii) any third party who is not and has never been an Affiliate
of the Holder commences any lawsuit or legal proceeding or otherwise asserts
any
claim before any court or public or governmental authority which seeks to
challenge, deny, enjoin, limit, modify, delay or dispute the right of the Holder
hereof to effect the conversion of this Debenture into Common Shares, then
the
Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, by written notice to the
Company, to require the Company to promptly redeem this Debenture for cash
at
one hundred and thirty-five (135%) of the Principal Amount thereof, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. Under
any of the circumstances set forth above, the Company shall be responsible
for
the payment of all costs and expenses of the Holder, including reasonable legal
fees and expenses, as and when incurred in defending itself in any such action
or pursuing its rights hereunder (in addition to any other rights of the
Holder).
(c) To
the
fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise its
conversion privilege notwithstanding the commencement of any case under the
Bankruptcy Code. In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy
Code,
the Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any rights to relief
it may have under 11 U.S.C. § 362 in respect of the Holder’s conversion
privilege. The Company hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted any rights
to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. § 362 in respect of the conversion of this

or
consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C.

SECTION
3.3 Fractional
Shares.
No
fractional Common Shares or scrip representing fractional Common Shares shall
be
delivered upon conversion of this Debenture. Instead of any fractional Common
Shares which otherwise would be delivered upon conversion of this Debenture,
the
Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount
equal to the same fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price on the
Conversion Date. No cash payment of less than $1.00 shall be required to be
given unless specifically requested by the Holder.
SECTION
3.4 Adjustments.
The
Conversion Price and the number of shares deliverable upon conversion of this
Debenture are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) Reclassification,
Etc.
In case
the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock,
consolidate or merge with or into another Person (where the Company is not
the
survivor or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the
Common Stock of the Company), sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of
all
or substantially all its property, assets or business to another Person, or
effectuate a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than
fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company is disposed of (each,
a
“Fundamental
Corporate Change”)
and,
pursuant to the terms of such Fundamental Corporate Change, shares of common
stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock
or
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu
of
common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other
Property”)
are to
be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company,
then the Holder of this Debenture shall have the right thereafter, at its sole
option, to (x) receive the number of shares of common stock of the successor
or
acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation,
and
Other Property as is receivable upon or as a result of such
Fundamental Corporate Change by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock
into which the outstanding portion of this Debenture may be converted at the
Conversion Price applicable immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate
Change or (y) require the Company, or such successor, resulting or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, to, without benefit of any
additional consideration therefor, execute and deliver to the Holder a debenture
with substantial identical rights, privileges, powers, restrictions and other
terms as this Debenture in an amount equal to the amount outstanding under
this
Debenture immediately prior to such Fundamental Corporate Change. For purposes
hereof, “common
stock of the successor or acquiring corporation”
shall
include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to
dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which
is not subject to prepayment and shall also include any evidences of
indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into
or
exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of
a
specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other
rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions
shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Corporate Changes.

SECTION
3.5 Certain
Conversion Limits.
So
long
as any of the Principal Amount of this Debenture is outstanding, the Holder
shall not have the right, and the Company shall not have the obligation, to
convert any portion of this Debenture if, following a Conversion Notice from
the
Holder, the result would be that the Holder would be deemed the beneficial
owner
of more than 9.99% of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock. Further,
for
a period of one year after the Closing Date, if and to the extent that, on
any
date, the mere holding by the Holder of this Debenture (regardless of the actual
conversion of any portion thereof) would result in the Holder’s being deemed the
beneficial owner of
more
than 9.99% of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in addition
to
the Holder having no right, and the Company having no obligation, to convert
any
portion of this Debenture as shall cause such Holder to be deemed the beneficial
owner of more than 9.99% of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock if
any
court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the foregoing limitation
is
ineffective to prevent the Holder, by mere ownership of the Debenture, from
being deemed the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of the then Outstanding
shares of Common Stock, then the Company shall prepay such portion of this
Debenture as shall cause such Holder not to be deemed the beneficial owner
of
more than 9.99% of the then Outstanding shares of Common Stock. Upon such
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Holder shall have no
interest in or rights under such portion of the Debenture. Any and all interest
paid on or prior to the date of such determination shall be deemed interest
paid
on the remaining portion of this Debenture held by the Holder.
SECTION
3.6 Surrender
of Debentures.
Upon
any redemption of this Debenture pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.5 or 6.2, or upon
maturity pursuant to Section 2.4, the Holder shall either
deliver this Debenture by hand to the Company at its principal executive offices
or surrender the same to the Company at such address by nationally recognized
overnight courier. Payment of the redemption price or the amount due on maturity
specified in Section 2.4, shall be made by the Company to the Holder against
receipt of this Debenture (as provided in this Section 3.5) by wire transfer
of
immediately available funds to such account(s) as the Holder shall specify
by
written notice to the Company. If payment of such redemption price is not made
in full by the redemption date, or the amount due on maturity is not paid in
full by the Maturity Date, the Holder shall again have the right to convert
this
Debenture as provided in Article 3 hereof or to declare an Event of
Default.

SECTION
6.5 Remedies
Not Waived.
No
course of dealing between the Company and the Holder or any delay in exercising
any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver by the Holder.
SECTION
6.6 Remedies. The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will
cause
irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the
transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that
the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Debenture will be
inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the
Company of the provisions of this Debenture, that the Holder shall be entitled
to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the
penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining,
preventing or curing any breach of this Debenture and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic
loss
and without any bond or other security being required.
SECTION
6.7 Payment
of Certain Amounts. Whenever
pursuant to this Debenture the Company is required to pay an amount in excess
of
the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, the Company and the
Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash
payment on this Debenture may be difficult to determine and the amount to be
so
paid by the Company represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is
intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert
this Debenture and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock
acquired upon conversion of this Debenture at a price in excess of that price
paid for such shares pursuant to this Debenture. The Company and the Holder
hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not disproportionate
to
the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without
the
opportunity to convert this Debenture into shares of Common Stock.

2. Registration
(A) Filing
and Effectiveness of Registration Statement.
The
Company shall prepare and file with the Commission as soon as practicable a
Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable
Securities and shall use its best efforts to cause the Commission to declare
such Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act as promptly
as
practicable but in no event later than the Deadline (as defined in the
Debenture). The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, no more than 24
hours
after it receives comments from the Commission), notify the Holder when and
if
it receives any comments from the Commission on the Registration Statement
and
promptly forward a copy of such comments, if they are in writing, to the Holder.
At such time after the filing of the Registration Statement pursuant to this
Section 2(A) as the Commission indicates, either orally or in writing, that
it has no further comments with respect to such Registration Statement or that
it is willing to entertain appropriate requests for acceleration of
effectiveness of such Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and
in
no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of such indication
from
the Commission, request that the effectiveness of such Registration Statement
be
accelerated within forty-eight (48) hours of the Commission’s receipt of such
request. The Company shall notify the Holder by written notice that such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission within
24
hours of such declaration by the Commission.
(B) Eligibility
for Use of Form S-3 or an SB-2.
The
Company agrees that at such time as it meets all the requirements for the use
of
a Securities Act Registration Statement on Form S-3 or SB-2, it shall file
all
reports and information required to be filed by it with the Commission in a
timely manner and take all such other action so as to maintain such eligibility
for the use of such form.
(C) Additional
Registration Statement.
In the
event the Current Market Price declines to a price per share the result of
which
is that the Company cannot satisfy its conversion obligations to Holder
hereunder, the Company shall, to the extent required by the Securities Act
(because the additional shares were not covered by the Registration Statement
filed pursuant to Section 2(a)), as reasonably determined by the Holder, file
an
additional Registration Statement with the Commission for such additional number
of Registrable Securities as would be issuable upon conversion of the Debenture
(the “Additional
Registrable Securities”)
in
addition to those previously registered. The Company shall use its best efforts
to cause the Commission to declare such Registration Statement effective under
the Securities Act as promptly as practicable but not later than the Deadline.
The Company shall not include any other securities in the Registration Statement
relating to the offer and sale of such Additional Registrable
Securities.
(D) Piggyback
Registration Rights. (i) If
the
Company proposes to register any of its warrants, Common Stock or any other
shares of common stock of the Company under the Securities Act (other than
a
registration (A) on Form S-8 or S-4 or any successor or similar forms,
(B) relating to Common Stock or any other shares of common stock of the
Company issuable upon exercise of employee share options or in connection with
any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company or (C) in connection
with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Company of another Person or any
transaction with respect to which Rule 145 (or any successor provision) under
the Securities Act applies), whether or not for sale for its own account, it
will each such time, give prompt written notice at least 20 days prior to the
anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such
registration to each Investor, which notice shall set forth such Investor’s
rights under this Section 2(D) and shall offer such Investor the
opportunity to include in such registration statement such number of Registrable
Securities as such Investor may request. Upon the written request of any
Investor made within 10 days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which
request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be
disposed of by such Investor), the Company will use its best efforts to effect
the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that
the
Company has been so requested to register by each Investor, to the extent
requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be
registered; provided,
however,
that
(A) if such registration involves a Public Offering, each Investor must
sell its Registrable Securities to any underwriters selected by the Company
with
the consent of such Investor on the same terms and conditions as apply to the
Company and (B) if, at any time after giving written notice of its
intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2
and
prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection
with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to
register such Registrable Securities, the Company shall give written notice
to
each Investor and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register
any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. The Company’s
obligations under this Section 2(D) shall terminate on the date that the
registration statement to be filed in accordance with Section 2(A) is declared
effective by the Commission.
(ii) If
a
registration pursuant to this Section 2(D) involves a Public Offering and the
managing underwriter thereof advises the Company that, in its view, the number
of shares of Common Stock that the Company and the Investors intend to include
in such registration exceeds the largest number of shares of Common Stock that
can be sold without having an adverse effect on such Public Offering (the
“Maximum
Offering Size”),
the
Company will include in such registration only such number of shares of Common
Stock as does not exceed the Maximum Offering Size, and the number of shares
in
the Maximum Offering Size shall be allocated among the Company, the Investors
and any other sellers of Common Stock in such Public Offering (“Third-Party
Sellers”),
first,
pro rata
among the Investors until all the shares of Common Stock originally proposed
to
be offered for sale by the Investors have been allocated, and second,
pro rata
among the Company and any Third-Party Sellers, in each case on the basis of
the
relative number of shares of Common Stock originally proposed to be offered
for
sale under such registration by each of the Investors, the Company and the
Third-Party Sellers, as the case may be. If as a result of the proration
provisions of this Section 2(D)(ii), any Investor is not entitled to include
all
such Registrable Securities in such registration, such Investor may elect to
withdraw its request to include any Registrable Securities in such registration.
With respect to registrations pursuant to this Section 2(D), the number of
securities required to satisfy any underwriters’ over-allotment option shall be
allocated among the Company, the Investors and any Third Party Seller pro rata
on the basis of the relative number of securities offered for sale under such
registration by each of the Investors, the Company and any such Third Party
Sellers before the exercise of such over-allotment option.
3. Obligations
of the Company
In
connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company
shall:
(A) Promptly
(i) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) to the Registration Statement and supplements to

useable by Investors for resales of the Registrable Securities for a period
of
two (2) years from the date on which the Registration Statement is first
declared effective by the Commission (the “Effective
Time”)
or such
shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered
by the Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto in accordance
with
the plan of distribution provided in the Prospectus, transferred pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise transferred in a manner that
results in the delivery of new securities not subject to transfer restrictions

in

Statement at the earliest possible time and take all lawful action to effect
the
withdrawal, rescission or removal of such stop order or other
suspension;
(G) Cause

disclosure is made pursuant to judicial process in a court proceeding (after

underwritten offerings (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such
opinions shall include, without limitation, as of the date of the opinion and
as
of the Effective Time of the Registration Statement or most recent
post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the absence, to such

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, subject to customary limitations);

financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included
in
the Registration Statement), addressed to each underwriter participating in
such
underwritten offering (if such underwriter has provided such letter,
representations or documentation, if any, required for such cold comfort letter
to be so addressed), in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with secondary
underwritten offerings;
(Q) In
connection with any underwritten offering, deliver such documents and
certificates as may be reasonably required by the managers, if any,
and
(R) In
the
event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall be an
“Affiliate”
(as
defined in Rule 2729(b)(1) of the rules and regulations of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD
Rules”)
(or any
successor provision thereto)) of the Company or has a “conflict
of interest”
(as
defined in Rule 2720(b)(7) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision
thereto)) and such broker-dealer shall underwrite, participate as a member
of an
underwriting syndicate or selling group or assist in the distribution of any
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement, whether as a
holder of such Registrable Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or
sales
agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company shall
assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of the NASD Rules,
including, without limitation, by (A) engaging a “qualified
independent underwriter”
(as
defined in Rule 2720(b)(15) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision
thereto)) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement
relating to such Registrable Securities, to exercise usual standards of due
diligence in respect thereof and to recommend the public offering price of
such
Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying such qualified independent
underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in
Section 6 hereof and (C) providing such information to such broker-dealer
as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the
requirements of the NASD Rules.
4. Obligations
of the Investors
In
connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Investors
shall have the following obligations:
(A) It
shall
be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the
registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable
Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
by it
and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by
it
as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable
Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration
as the Company may reasonably request;
(B) Each
Investor by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate
with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the
Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company
in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from
the
Registration Statement; and
(C) Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(E) or 3(F), it shall
immediately discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to
the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such
Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(E) and, if so directed by the Company, such Investor
shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and
deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in such
Investor’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice.
5. Expenses

Company.
6. Indemnification

sometimes hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnified
Person”)
from
and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or an omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or arise out of or
are
based upon an untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus
or
an omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company hereby
agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for all reasonable legal and other
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such
action or claim as and when such expenses are incurred; provided,
however,
that
the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such
case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of
or is
based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made in, or
an
omission or alleged omission from, such Registration Statement or Prospectus
in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein or (ii) in the
case
of the occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(E), the use
by
the Indemnified Person of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company
has provided to such Indemnified Person an updated Prospectus correcting the
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.
(B) Indemnification
by Investors. Each
Investor shall severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which

as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement of a material fact provided
by such Investor that is contained in any Registration Statement, or arise
out
of an omission or alleged omission by such Investor to state therein a material
fact concerning or known to such Investor that is required to be stated therein
or is necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, or arise out
of

concerning or known to such Investor that is 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; and the Investor hereby agrees
to
reimburse the Company for all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred
by it
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as and
when such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no Investor shall
be
liable to the Company in any such case 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 made in, or an omission or alleged omission from,
such
Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished by the Company or another Investor expressly
for
use therein.
(C) Notice
of Claims, etc.
Promptly
after receipt by a party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 6
(an “Indemnified
Party”)
of
written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in
respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a “Claim”),
the
Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification
pursuant to this Section 6 is being sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”)
of the
commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party
shall
not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified
Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced
and forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure. In
connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of
any
Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to
employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim,
and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and
only if): (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, costs
and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall
reasonably have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party by the
Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to
actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party,
potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the
defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the
Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available
to
the Indemnifying Party or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ
legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a
reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If
the
Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than
as
described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of
such
legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as
provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim
in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one
firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local
counsel). The Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent
of
the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld),
settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that
does
not include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all
liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment.
(D) Contribution.
If the
indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless an Indemnified Person under subsection (A) above in respect
of
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as
is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted
in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof),
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault
of
such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or by such Indemnified Party,
and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 6(D) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Investors
or
any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this Section 6(D). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified
Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in
respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or
other
fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty
of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Investors
and any underwriters in this Section 6(D) to contribute shall be several in
proportion to the percentage of Registrable Securities registered or
underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint.
(E) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 6, in no event shall any (i) Investor be
required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 6 for any
amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such
Investor from the sale of such Investor’s Registrable Securities (after
deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant
to
any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be
registered under the Securities Act and (ii) underwriter be required to
undertake liability to any Person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the
aggregate discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter
with respect to the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(F) The
obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any
liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and
the
obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 6 shall be in addition
to any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to the
Company. The remedies provided in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall
not
limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified
party at law or in equity.
7. Rule
144
With
a
view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that
may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the
public without registration (“Rule
144”),
the
Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(1) comply
with the provisions of paragraph (c) (1) of Rule 144 and
(2) file
with
the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required
to be
filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act;
and, if at any time it is not required to file such reports but in the past
had
been required to or did file such reports, it will, upon the request of any
Investor, make available other information as required by, and so long as
necessary to permit sales of, its Registrable Securities pursuant to
Rule 144.
8. Assignment
The
rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Agreement shall be automatically assigned by the Investors to any permitted
transferee of all or any portion of such Registrable Securities (or all or
any
portion of the Debenture of the Company which is convertible into such
securities) only if (a) 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 within a reasonable time after such assignment, (b) the Company is,
within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with
written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and
(ii) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
transferred or assigned, (c) immediately following such transfer or assignment,
the securities so transferred or assigned to the transferee or assignee
constitute Restricted Securities and (d) at or before the time the Company
received the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence the
transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all
of
the provisions contained herein.
9. Amendment
and Waiver
Any
provision 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 the Company and Investors
who
hold a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or
waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon each
Investor and the Company.
10. Changes
in Common Stock
If,
and
as often as, there are any changes in the Common Stock by way of stock split,
stock dividend, reverse split, combination or reclassification, or through
merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other
means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof, as may
be
required, so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with
respect to the Common Stock as so changed.
11. Miscellaneous
(A) A
person
or entity shall be deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever
such
person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company
receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons
or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall
act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the
registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
(B) If,
after
the date hereof and prior to the Commission declaring the Registration Statement
to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) effective under the Securities Act, the
Company grants to any Person any registration rights with respect to any Company
securities which are more favorable to such other Person than those provided
in
this Agreement, then the Company forthwith shall grant (by means of an amendment
to this Agreement or otherwise) identical registration rights to all Investors
hereunder.
(C) Except
as
may be otherwise provided herein, any notice or other communication or delivery
required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered
personally, or sent by telecopier machine or by a nationally recognized
overnight courier service, and shall be deemed given when so delivered
personally, or by telecopier machine or overnight courier service as

(3) If
to any
other Investor, at such address as such Investor shall have provided in writing
to the Company.
The
Company, the Holder or any Investor may change the foregoing address by notice
given pursuant to this Section 11(C).
(D) 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.
(E) This
Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of
the State of California. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of
the
federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of San Diego
or
the state courts of the State of California sitting in the City of San Diego
in
connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and hereby waives,
to
the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection including any objection
based
on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such
jurisdictions.
(F) Should
any party hereto employ an attorney for the purpose of enforcing or construing
this Agreement, or any judgment based on this Agreement, in any legal proceeding
whatsoever, including insolvency, bankruptcy, arbitration, declaratory relief
or
other litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the
other party or parties thereto reimbursement for all reasonable attorneys'
fees
and all reasonable costs, including but not limited to service of process,
filing fees, court and court reporter costs, investigative costs, expert witness
fees, and the cost of any bonds, whether taxable or not, and that such
reimbursement shall be included in any judgment or final order issued in that
proceeding. The "prevailing party" means the party determined by the court
to
most nearly prevail and not necessarily the one in whose favor a judgment is
rendered.
(G) The
remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto shall use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means
to
achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such
term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared
to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such
that
may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(H) The
Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that
is inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities
in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company
is not currently a party to any agreement granting any registration rights
with
respect to any of its securities to any person which conflicts with the
Company’s obligations hereunder or gives any other party the right to include
any securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto, except
for
such rights and conflicts as have been irrevocably waived. Without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the holders of
a
majority in interest of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant
to any person the right to request it to register any of its securities under
the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respect
to
the prior rights of the holders of Registrable Securities set forth herein,
and
are not otherwise in conflict or inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. The restrictions on the Company’s rights to grant registration rights
under this paragraph shall terminate on the date the Registration Statement
to
be filed pursuant to Section 2(A) is declared effective by the
Commission.
(I) This
Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, and the Debenture, of even date
herewith among the Company and the Holder constitute the entire agreement among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no
restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth
or referred to herein. These Agreements supersede all prior agreements and
undertakings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof.
(J) Subject
to the requirements of Section 8 hereof, this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties
hereto.
(K) All
pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter,
singular or plural, as the context may require.
(L) The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall
not
limit or otherwise affect the meaning thereof.
(M) This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original but both of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. A
facsimile transmission of this signed Agreement shall be legal and binding
on
the parties hereto.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly caused this Agreement to be
executed and delivered on the date first above written.
