It is further understood that any issuance of shares of common stock, warrants, securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company shall be subject to the 70% Antidilution Issuance calculation above and not considered an Exempt Issuance (as further defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements) for the purpose of this section and calculating the 70% Antidilution Issuance only. It is also understood that the rights afforded to the Company under the definition of Exempt Issuance in each of the Securities Purchase Agreements remain, provided that no right is granted hereby to issue any securities which the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements) otherwise prohibit.
It is expressly understood that, except as specifically set forth herein, this section does not modify the full ratchet anti-dilution rights (including but not limited to Section 5 of the Debenture and Section 3 of the Warrants) currently afforded to the Holders of the existing Debentures and Warrants (as defined herein). The exempt issuances under Section 5 (b) of the Debentures are not exempt for the purposes of the 70% calculation above.
The Makeup Warrants shall be in the same form as the original Warrants issued, except that the Exercise Price of the Makeup Warrants shall equal the lesser of (i) $0.01, or (ii) the issuance price per share of the equity securities that triggered the issuance of the Makeup Warrants (the “Triggering Issuance”) or (iii) the Market Price on the date of the Triggering Issuance, where “Market Price” shall mean the average of the VWAPs for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Triggering Issuance, and the “Termination Date” of each Makeup Warrant shall be five (5) years from its date of issuance. Each of the Transaction Documents is hereby amended such that any reference to “Warrants” therein shall include the Makeup Warrants and any reference to “Warrant Shares” shall include the shares issuable upon exercise of the Makeup Warrants, provided that, for purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements), the references to “Warrants” and “Warrant Shares” shall not include the Makeup Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Makeup Warrants.
| 13. | Additional Covenants to the Debenture. |
(a) The section entitled “Section 9 Additional Covenants” which was added to each of the Debentures pursuant to the March 2009 Amendment is hereby amended and replaced with the following:
“Section 9 Additional Covenants. The Company agrees to abide by the following additional covenants. Such covenants will remain effective so long as any of the Debentures remain outstanding:
a) Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (excluding accrued interest) shall not exceed $2,500,000 (excluding the $1,000,000 payable that may be incurred if the targets are met as set forth in Section 7(b) of the Amendment to Debentures and Warrants, Agreement and Waiver by and between the Company, the Holders and various other parties dated on or about May 15, 2009 (the “May 2009 Amendment”)) at the date here of through the earlier of (i) the date that the Company has been awarded Stimulus Contracts (as defined in the May 2009 Agreement) totaling $20,000,000, or (ii) May 1, 2010, whichever comes first.
b) By October 1, 2009, the Company shall book $20,000,000 in new Stimulus Contracts (as such term is defined in the May 2009 Amendment Agreement). evidenced by signed purchase orders or contracts which, by their terms, are to be fulfilled by October 1, 2010, provided that so long as the initial contract terms provide for the orders or contracts to be fulfilled by October 1, 2010, any such contract may be extended at the vendor’s request.
c) The Company shall not, without the written approval of the 75% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures, deviate from the expenditures allowed by the Agreed Use of Proceeds Schedule or from the cash flow figures set forth in the Quarterly Budget Forecast (in the form attached to the May 2009 Amendment as Schedule D). The Company represents that the cash flow figures set forth in the Quarterly Budget Forecast accurately reflect the cost of operating the business within the variance specified.
d) The Company shall maintain a total cash balance of no less than $250,000 at all times from the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the date that the Company has been awarded Stimulus Contracts totaling $20,000,000, or (ii) May 1, 2010, whichever comes first.
e) The Company shall have a monthly operating cash burn rate of no more than $125,000 for each month from the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the date that the Company has been awarded Stimulus Contracts totaling $20,000,000, or (ii) May 1, 2010, whichever comes first. Operating cash burn is defined by taking consolidated net income (or loss) and adding back all non-cash items, and excludes changes in assets, liabilities and financing activities. (i.e. the top section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as publicly reported in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements).
f) The Company shall have a minimum current ratio of 1.25 to 1 at all times from the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the date that the Company has been awarded Stimulus Contracts totaling $20,000,000, or (ii) May 1, 2010, whichever comes first. This calculation is to be made by excluding accrued interest and current portions of notes payable from current liabilities as well as the $450,000 notes payable and $253,253 liability for purchase price related to the Karner Group. In the event that the Company fails to comply with any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9 above (a “Covenant Failure”), such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the November 2007 Debenture and the December 2007 Debenture. The Company shall notify the debt holders of the existence of an Event of Default or any Covenant Failure within two (2) business days of the Company’s knowledge of any Event of Default or Covenant Failure.
(b) Breach of Covenants as an Event of Default. In consideration of the terms hereof, the Company and the Holders agree that it shall constitute an “Event of Default” pursuant to each of the Debentures if the Company shall fail to observe any covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement which is not cured within twenty (20) days of such failure (an “Amendment Agreement Default”).
| 14. | Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and by the Existing Holders holding 75% of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. |
| 15. | Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company as of the date hereof, immediately following and accounting for the effectiveness of this Agreement and including the Increased Amount of Warrants, is as set forth on Schedule “E”, which Schedule shall also include the number of shares of Common Stock owned beneficially, and of record, by Affiliates of the Company as of the date hereof. |
| 16. | Increase in Authorized Shares. In addition to, and in no way amending or waiving any existing obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements, respectively), the Company shall hold a shareholders meeting and put before the shareholders a proposal to increase authorized shares from to an amount equal to 150% of the post-transaction fully diluted capitalization of the Company, following the requirements set forth in the Company’s by-laws, on or before June 30, 2009. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares as soon as possible, and in any event by October 1, 2009 (the “Authorization Increase Deadline”). Attached hereto as Schedule “F” is a pro forma schedule, assuming that the maximum of $2,500,000 of Bridge Notes are issued (but not accounting for the interest that would have accrued on the Debentures after May 1, 2009), of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants that would be held by each Holder, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock required to be reserved under the Debentures, Bridge Notes and Warrants held by each Included Holder, (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be required to be reserved under the Bridge Notes and the associated Warrants, and (iv) the actual number of shares of Common Stock reserved for each Included Holder’s Debenture(s) and Warrants (in each case, after giving effect to the amendments hereunder). |
Upon the receipt of such stockholder approval, or beginning on the Authorization Increase Deadline, whichever is sooner, the Company shall reserve for issuance to the Holders the number of authorized shares (the “Reserved Amount”) as otherwise required under the Transaction Documents. The “Required Minimum” (as defined under both Securities Purchase Agreements) shall be allocated ratably among the then-outstanding Debentures and Warrants held by the Holders and their respective assigns. Nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver or an amendment to the Company’s requirements to reserve authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the Securities then held by any Holder or its respective assigns as required under the Transaction Documents.
| 17. | Effect on Transaction Documents. Subject to the waivers and amendments provided herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents shall continue in full force and effect after the execution of this Agreement and shall not be in any way changed, modified or superseded by the terms set forth herein, including but not limited to, any other obligations the Company may have to the Investors under the Transaction Documents provided however that references to Securities, Debentures, Warrants and Underlying Shares in the Transaction Documents shall include such securities, as amended hereby, and the shares underlying such Securities, respectively. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver, amendment or modification of any provisions of the Transaction Documents or of any right, power or remedy of the Investors, or constitute a waiver of any provision of the Transaction Documents (except to the extent herein set forth), or any other document, instrument and/or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith, in each case whether arising before or after the date hereof or as a result of performance hereunder or thereunder. The Investors reserve all rights, remedies, powers, or privileges available under the Transaction Documents, at law or otherwise. This Agreement shall not constitute a novation or satisfaction and accord of the Transaction Documents or any other document, instrument and/or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the Security Agreement. |
| 18. | Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the applicable Transaction Document. |
| 19. | Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of the Investors. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investors. The Investors may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the applicable Transaction Document. |
| 20. | Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. |
| 21. | Governing Law and Venue. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the venue for court actions shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents. |
| 22. | Severability. 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 commercially reasonable 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. |
| 23. | Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. |
| 24. | Closing Conditions. Prior to and as a condition to closing of the Amendment Agreement, the Company shall provide to the Holders a certificate, signed by the president and chief executive officer of the Company, certifying that no new lawsuits or material changes have occurred in the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries since the Company’s last 10-K dated December 31, 2008 and filed on or about April 16, 2009. |
